Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Is it wrong to state you can help and then not respond at all?

Had high hopes that person was sincere now down that I have not heard anything. I responded to a question stating that if you can prove you need the help I can help. I have heard nothing and I can prove everything. Very desperate.

Update:

Someone said if you can prove that you need the help I will help. I would expect that person to keep their word not get people's hopes up and then just crash their feelings. Yes I should not have got my hopes up but when I have been every other place I can think of and I logged onto Yahoo answers went to financial and saw that I had a big glimmer of hope.

    If you mean that you promised to help someone who said they needed help if they could prove they needed help but they did not respond, why do you care? I mean, you might have emotionally invested something in caring about this person's needs, but you aren't out anything and the person hasn't hurt you in anyway by not requesting your additional assistance. If this is the case, get over it.

    If you gave someone your credit card number or something, well you shouldn't have. But you can call the credit card company and tell them that you need a new account number.

    If you need help and someone said they would help you and then never responded with actual help: again, what can you do? That person has no legal responsibility to help you. You might want or need that help, but you should probably try to get it from someone who you trust and know.

    If this is someone you actually know who promised to help you, you do have a verbal agreement and if they have not held up their end of the agreement in a way that has been harmful to you or your family, you do have the right to attempt to get mediation or take it to the courts. Almost any decent attorney will listen to you for free and tell you if your case is actionable.

    Your question wasn't very clearly stated. So I hope that I my answer helped.
