Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is justanswer.com legit or a scam?
justanswer.com was registered Sep 10, 2004 (22 years old), per public registration records.

Who owns justanswer.com?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for justanswer.com. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.

JustAnswer.com ask for expert advice on a variety of issues.
JustAnswer connects users with questions to vetted experts who provide answers for a fee, typically $10–200 per question. The platform serves individuals seeking specialized advice on topics where general search engines fall short. Launched in 2003, it operates a bidding system where users set a price and experts compete to respond, with earnings paid monthly via PayPal.
AboutUs has not vetted this site. Everything below is what we could measure automatically. Anything you do on the site — paying, sharing personal details, downloading — is between you and the site, not AboutUs.

Model score: 40/99 — what these reason lines add up to.
Published Authority (percentile): 78/100 — this site's rank against the August 2026 scored sample. Public Authority is capped at 99.
Safety evidence
No unexpired threat-feed result; name-similarity check available (recorded about 26 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 26 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.
No caution flags in the available scoring observations; this is not a complete safety assessment
