The writing site academicwritinghelp.com is a TOTAL rip-off, sham, and FRAUD. I ordered a 20 page research paper which I paid 360 bucks for (with another 3 plus pages of annotated bibliography) only to be emailed AN ENTIRE PAPER PLAGIARIZED WORD FOR WORD (I MEAN WORD FOR WORD) from Questia (online encyclopedia) with no relevant annotated bibliography. I showed the company the paper (copied and pasted from Questia) and they demanded that I give them a plagiarism report. I issued them one and now they have simply refused to give me my money back and have been screening my calls, and ignoring my emails, calls, etc....No one really speaks sound English although they present themselves as an American company. They are extremely rude and won't even acknowledge that the paper was plagiarized after tons of irrefutable proof that the paper was plagiarized WORD for WORD.

STAY AWAY PLEASE !!!! Academicwritinghelp.com ANOTHER RIP-OFF!!!

Call your credit card company and request a CHARGEBACK. If you've paid via Paypal, submit a support ticket asap. Do not allow them to get away with your money.

Study HelpUnfortunately I have gotten hit by them. I asked for a 7 page paper and gave them specifications however when they sent the paper they did not meet one specification that I listed. The citation where in some other format but not MLA like requested.

I asked for revision which they said they did and sent it to me day after it was due and it was the same paper as previous not revisions were made. I asked for a refund based on there 100% money back guarantee and they said they would write me a whole new paper which I do not even need. I guess they think I need some extra reading material at home. I already contacted the bank and they will be taking care of this.

What a scam and the truth is they do not understand what 100% money back guarantee means. They said for me to take up legal action because they have a no refund policy which I found funny because every page of there site they advertise as you all know "100% Money Back Guarantee We are so sure of our services that we promise 100% money back guarantee if you don't get what you asked for!"

I talked to some guy who told me I should change my way of thinking . He really said to me that a money back guarantee does not mean that it is simply a advertisement is mean nothing at all.

Please everyone save yourself a headache stay away from them.

Since an essay ordered over the internet is delivered electronically, does it not count as an intangible purchase?

If so, I think chargebacks are virtually impossible, as per the wording of most cc company t&c.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm speaking from a British perspective.

Neither SGA nor SGSA deal with data products but that does not really mean much. If model essays are classified as a `good' (which some argue it to be), then companies in the industry have to supply a product which is satisfactory, consistent with the description given and fit for its intended use. So, if a company claims that it provides plagiarism-free, high-quality model researches, written specifically according to the customer's instructions but does not - trouble :) If model essays are categorised as services, then companies are required to render the service with due care and skill. If not, negligent liability ...

EU consumer laws have expanded the definition of Consumer sales to intangible goods (electronically delivered).

Basically, a real British company (not only which is simply registered in the UK), has to provide goods/services which, at the bare minimum, adhere to the standards advertised (promised consumers).

Not at all sure of US law, though.

Hi all,
Regretfully I knew nothing about your site 3 days a go~! I logged onto AcademicWritingHelp.com regarding a 250 word paper that I really needed help with. Was told they could have it finished for me within 24 hours. The day the project was due I received a call from the billing department stating they needed to verify my billing address. I verified the info and asked if my paper was going to be done on time. Was then transfered to the writing dept to verify that it would be. I was told that since they need to verify my address that I would not get the paper until the next business day. I was upset and requested to speak to a supervisor and was transferred to the person by the name of Melvin who set the account uo for me. He assured me the paper would be on time. I did not receiveed the paper until today. The paper was well allow me to copy/paste:

Doulz viaire gracieuѕ iѕ a polyphonic ѕong by the fourteenth-century French compoѕer Guillaume de Machaut. Thiѕ ѕhort work iѕ an example of the fixed form known aѕ the rondeau, and iѕ written for three voiceѕ: a tenor againѕt which haѕ been ѕet a triplem and a cantuѕ. Aѕ only the cantuѕ haѕ a text, it iѕ ѕafe to aѕѕume that the other partѕ would have been inѕtrumentally performed. Ѕchrade catalogueѕ it aѕ Rondeau No. 1.

The rondeau iѕ one of the fixed formѕ of the fourteenth-century France (the otherѕ are the ballade and the virelai), though the rondeau iѕ the only one that waѕ popular before the commencement of the Arѕ Nova. By the early thirteenth century, the rondeau had adopted itѕ final muѕical ѕtructure of AABB. Jean Renart included the earlieѕt known exampleѕ in hiѕ romance "Guillaume de Dôle". The trouvère Adam de la Halle wrote ѕeveral rondeaux, aѕ did other late trouvèreѕ. With the workѕ of Machaut and other fourteenth century compoѕerѕ and poetѕ, the rondeau became an eѕtabliѕhed form that continued in uѕe until well into the fifteenth century. ~ All Muѕic Guide

The entire paper came from Answer.com.
I called and requested to speak to a supervisor and was told they don't have supervisor. I admit I was upset and spoke in anger and all I could get out of them was prove it was not a good paper. I stated they could pull the paper and review it and they laughed.

I called my visa company to dispute the charge~~!!!!!!!!!!!!

ACADEMIC WRITING HELP . COM is a COMPLETE SCAM!!! STAY AWAY!!!! I DON'T WANT THIS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE, OR THIS ******** COMPANY TO GET AWAY WITH THIS AGAIN.

My computer at home crashed before I could finish my term paper (15 pager), and the file was then inaccessible. Since I was in desperate need of a paper, I found ACADEMIC WRITING HELP.COM through an online search. I quickly, without researching anything, ordered a 15 page customer research paper on a topic that I provided with the research already done (I emailed them the articles and research they needed to do the writing). I was told this would not be a problem and that they would make the necessary accommodations. I wound up receiving the paper the day my paper was due and it was a complete RIP OFF, it was nothing what they reassured me it would be or what their website describes. First and foremost, the paper seemed like it was written by someone who did not know how to completely speak/or write in English.

Nearly every sentence there was awkward wording, word misusage, misspelled words. On top of the fact that the person who wrote it clearly was a native English speaker, the text of the paper had NOTHING to do with the topic which I provided. It seemed like they just copy and pasted different parts from different online encyclopedias to "write" the paper. I asked for a revision because it was so poorly (poorly is not even the word) written, and they sent me the same paper back, a day later, with essentially NO CHANGES. I then called the toll free number and demanded my money back and they said they have no refund policy. Their site says that they provide quality work, prompt delivery and money back guarantee, but that's obviously all ********. I still can't believe this actually happened, and I cannot stress enough that the paper I received was most definitely written by someone who does not know the English language in and out; this is definitely some scamming foreign company that is stealing from American customers; they are advertising something they do not intend to sell or provide you with. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS PLEASE!

Also, I noticed this after the fact of course, but if you READ CAREFULLY THROUGH THEIR SITE (click on all the different tabs/links and such) you will notice that the text on their website is incorrect as well. By this I mean, there are misused words, misspelled words, awkward phrasing, etc, on their actual website, and they're still getting away with this!!!!! I am going to fight this and try to get my $150 back, but I don't know if I am going to be able to do it.

ACADEMIC WRITING HELP.COM IS A FKIN JOKE, DO NOT USE!!!

I don't even think there is an actually legitimate paper writing site on the web!!!

If you paid via paypal or a credit card, contact that company immediately and begin a dispute process. This is pretty much your only chance of getting your money back.

They are fraudsters based in Karachi, Pakistan. Their sites look "pretty" because they also own a Web design company. That's how they suck in victims.

Yeah, it is truly unbelievable how a compelte SCAM like this can survive and be successful? I mean there is no way around it, they are actually "stealing" money from their customers...there is no way that they ever provide what they're telling you that you will get (talking about academicwriting.com, obviously).

The text on the website is not even in proper English, and people (like myself) don't notice it, and order papers. I mean they can't even write in proper English on their own website and they get awy with completely scamming people every day?

"Writers Beware" how do you know all of this about their location and business? Do you even know of any legitimate online paper websites?

Can you prove? As I see, there is something fishy in all of your messages. Academicwritinghelp.com is not a Pakistani Company, rather it is a US fraud site. I know exactly who the owner of this company is.

If you paid via paypal or a credit card, contact that company immediately and begin a dispute process. This is pretty much your only chance of getting your money back.

In our language "moron" means "dead". But I see you yourself is virtually dead.

As to your demand for proof, you should prove that Academicwritinghelp is a Pakistani company, as you claimed it first. So you are such a great scammer and Goebbelsian propagandist that this site is going to face some legal charge because of your falsehood. A good news for you!! A twin sister of this site is going to emerge and your rosy days are going to end.

Yay! The inarticulate idiot is back! How have you been, Fracturegang? Still retarded, I see. That's good.

This idiot should be kicked out of this site.

pheelyks  
Dec 12, 2009 | #24
Demand a refund. If they refuse, go through your credit card company/paypal/whatever payment institution you used. Plagiarism is a crime, and if you explain the situation to the payment institution they ought to reverse the charge.

I don't understand how they can advertise "plagarism free" and it's a word for word copy? I would have thought the government would do something.

Does anyone know a website like this but one that lists "good writers", not just one telling the bad ones?

Thanks! The bank is issuing me a 60 day provisional credit while they research. I have to fill out a form in the mail that they are sending me.

If the company were actually operating in the US/UK/other country with proper laws and law enforcement, thy could (and probably would) be sued and shut down. Most of the scam companies operate in the Ukraine, Pakistan, and other countries where they can get away with this.

Actually, all it takes is for one person to file a lawsuit, or numerous people to form a class action lawsuit. The foreign fraudsters will have zero defense, and likely will not even be able to retain US counsel. Due to recent legal precedent, the fraudsters will be stripped of ALL of their domains. They can't commit fraud if they don't have any sites.

True, but that takes more money than the customer was screwed out of in the first place. That's the major problem with the American legal system.

I have not been directly involved with any class action lawsuits. You probably have more knowledge about this than I do-aren't class action suits more affordable? Don't all of the plaintiffs split the costs?

A company-presumably with more monetary resources than a private citizen-can also take these fraudsters down. In fact, if one studies the strategies that SNR employed against another company, one will quickly see that there are many ways for victimized companies ("victims" by way of the fraudsters' copyright infringement and unfair competition) to setup and catch the crooks red-handed. Poof-sites go bye-bye in court!

Call your credit card company and tell them you tried canceling the order right away, but that the company is refusing. You might have to wait until you receive the essay and find that it is plagiarized or in some other way does not match the product your ordered before using this option, though.

I should have done my homework too on this website before purchasing from ACADEMICWRITINGHELP.COM is the BIGGEST FRAUD & SCAM website. After my teacher ran the paper through a few plagiarism sites the report showed that 91% of your paper was copied from other sources. 53% of it all came from one essay online. When reading the two there were whole paragraphs which were identical. I got the proof the company asked fo and I am still getting put off or ignored by them. They tell me to call back in the morning, etc. I never heard of a 24hr company which they advertise on their website not picking up the phone or let you be on hold for 30mins then get an answer machine. PLEASE DO NOT USE THEIR WEBSITE. Also I do believe the guy is from Pakistan. I always seem to get him on the phone.

Call your credit card company/payment source AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (like, now, if you can reach someone in disputes) and explain that you ordered a custom piece of writing from the company and ninety percent of it was copied form the Internet. This should be enough for them to start a dispute proceeding and reverse the charge.

I didn't know until grades posted for the term and my teacher gave me an "I". When I contacted the teacher thats when he told me it was the paper (which I figured when I saw the my grade for the term). As soon as he told me 4 Jan 10 I called Academic Writing and they asked me to get them proof of the "alleged plagiarism". My teacher emailed it to me on 7 Jan 10 which I forwarded to them and still to this day I am getting the run around with this company on getting my money back. Today I as was typing to google'd the company I found this website and decided to post my experience.
