Anyone have information on The Essay Agency?
www [-dot-] essay[-buyerbeware-]agency [-dot-] com (deliberately munged)
I did a whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=essayagency&tld=com and found it is run by someone called Joe Boll.
A search on "Joe Boll" reveals this BBC news story:
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/4118667.stm
Admittedly, they may not be the same person, but both the "Joseph Boll" in the BBC story and The Essay Agency are based in Clifton, Bristol. A quick search also reveals the Clifton area has a BS8 postal code.
Plus, I had email contact with this man (he signed off "Joe"). I had emailed asking for the price of a MSc level text. Yet he responded by quoting me an undergraduate price from his website.
No I didn't.
Many thanks, Major.
Dear Amy1978, s_smith_1981 & LawrenceOfArabia

Thank you for your interest in the essay agency. If I may be permitted to make a couple of points. Due to the amount of posts on this site by your selves, you clearly work for a rival company. It would be nice if you were actually a customer commenting on the Essay Agency, and by your terminology of the word 'felon' you clearly are NOT British, which means you would have little to no use of a British essay writing service.
In regard to my conviction, yes this is correct. In 2003 I was a director of a telecoms company which unwittingly breached the Trades Descriptions Act and I was fined accordingly. Please note this was 4 years ago and in no way has any reflection on the Essay Agency.
I understand the pionts made may put off potential customers, so I'd like to make these points : the essay agency can be contacted via telephone (number on website) during office hours. We supply approx 2500 essays a year and it is worth noting that there isn't a single complaint from a customer on 'essayscam'.
As a sign of good will to potential customers who might be concerned, I would be delighted to offer a reasonable discount should you try our service. Simply quote 'essayscam' when you place an order or call into the office.
Please also note we are one of the only essay services to promote paypal as a payment option as many of you will be aware. Paypal offer a buyer dispute and if for any reason we are unable to deliver an essay, paypal will refund your money.
Yours sincerely
Joe Boll
It is nice to have a straightforward post from an essay company. I hope that someone takes you up on your offer; I would do so but I'm all essayed out for this academic year.
Just one point (what Ratty might call a pet peeve): it is worth composing in software that has a typo / spell check facility and then copying and pasting onto the forum. This just makes posts more easily readable.
PS What is it about premium rate phone lines in the UK - they're never out of the news at the moment!
yeah, wat dylan sed. and capitelisation is a big thing two. yew nevar no wat pepul will think of yew.
essayagency.com and academic answers.co.uk have the similar pic on their website. That makes me feel a bit suspicious.

ESSAY AGENCY ARE A SCAM!?
Hello,
I am a writer and am now owed money by the essay agency and they have not payed despite assuring me on three separate occasions. I suggest you avoid them, especially given Mr. Bolls criminal past.
JJ
Well it was clear that essay agency was a scam site sice their website didn't have any copyrights law..
Dear jjmarr,
Thank you for your post about the essay agency
If you are a writer who delivered a piece of work that was below the requested standard or plagiarised then yes your absolutely right we would not have paid you as we would have been unable to deliver the work to the client.
If however you wrote a genuine piece for us and have not been paid please call us on 0117 9221356 and ask for either myself or Ashley and we will sort it out for you, we always aim to pay our writers within 14 days of invoice.
Best regards

Dear Rav,
Unfortunately I do not understand what you mean by the term "copyrights law" are you referring to the copyright of the work we provide? Or the website?
If you have an issue please get in touch with us so we can address it.
Best regards

Essay Agency

I was looking for information about Joe Boll and Essay Agency on the internet and found this website. Anyway, as I posted before this is a fraud company and Joe Boll obviously is owing alot of people' money. I am owed 320 pounds as well and it has been 2 months since then. Moonlighthaze, if you are having the same problems with Joe Boll and Essay Agency, and if you want to join me to track down the guy and do some legal act to claim back our money, please contact me.
Essay Agency doesn't have any registration number at Company House, just to let you know. Please stay far away from this website.
To everyone who has problems with Joe Boll and Essay Agency: Please make a phone call to complain about this man and this company at <u>08454 04 05 06</u> (This is the Consumer Complaints). They will give you adivce about the legal terms. Also they'll keep the records of the complaints and there is chance that an investigation will be opened and they'll take him to court.
Bear in mind that Mr Joseph Boll was found guilty as the "fraudster who masterminded a £2m premium phone line scam, distributing thousands of scratchcards and letters telling people they had won a luxury prize, was yesterday ordered to do 200 hours of community service". During that time, he used the profits "to buy a £250,000 flat, a Mercedes and a Range Rover with a personalised number plate" (at the age of 26). Link here:
tiscali.co.uk/money/guardian/news/2005/11/11/fraudsterran1632mphonelinescam.html
Please fight for yourselves and the others who may be cheated by him in the future. Writers, customers who have dealed with Essay Agency, if you have any problems with it, please make a phone call. It takes you just about 5 minutes. Together, we can stop this company from cheating (or can I call it stealing?) people.
Hi Everyone,
Please aviod the essay agency. This guy is unbelivable, i cant get a hold of him at all, well except when I pretend to be a new customer and order another essay he then calls me back. Tma1983 I have called the above number and something will be done about this guy. I have a funny feeling he must have shares in Her Majesty's Prison service or soon will have. STOP Joe Boll, he cant make a honest living like everyone else, oh and maybe he is compensating for something with big boys toys. Rant Over. Please call 08454 04 05 06 to report him, It dont take long.

Hi guys, I was gonna contact the Watchdog of BBC.co.uk to complain about Essay Agency and Joe Boll but I got to be out of the country for quite a while. If anyone of you has time, please access the Watch Dog and tell them about what happened to us. They'll investigate this case and we'll definitely benefit from that. If not, at least everyone will know about what's behind Essay Agency and the people in charge have to pay for what they've done wrong. We work our asses out there to get money, legally, so it doesn't make any sense that somebody just stay at home, cheat people and buy expensive cars and luxury houses etc. Do you all think it is not acceptable and that we act now to prevent it?
Because the Watchdog reporters may contact us to get some more information. I wont be in England for a while so I cant get hold of it. Please spend about 5' to fill in the form and tell them what happened. This kind of business currently is a big concern to many people. If we dont do something, more and more students will suffer from that. Let them know our lessons!!!
This is the website of Watchdog programmer, created by BBC: bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_and_radio/watchdog/
Simply click the "Contact WatchDog" and briefly tell them your concern about Essay Agency. Please, it takes just 5'.
Just to inform you, the number 0117 9277455 of Essay Agency has now been disconected. Dont know why. One of my friends tried to call but it kept saying "Number error". Do you think he's already run away?
Dear Folks,
Don't you think it is dishonest to tarnish the image of 'essay agency' on flimsy and unfounded grounds?
Regards,
Q.Rashid
WritersBeware
Flimsy and unfounded? The guy is a convicted criminal, and many people have had problems with the company in the very short time that it has been online.
What counterevidence do you have to suggest otherwise?
Dear Friend,
First I have to ask you what evidence you have to prove so?
Regards,
Q.Rashid
WritersBeware
Did you not even read this thread before posting?
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/4118667.stm
Dear Writersbeware,
I have read the news item on the URL you provided. Now, I understand the situation. You want Mr Joe to stay away from his work by referring to the news item published. You want us to just look at the past and not the present which contribute to the future.
You asked me about the counter evidence. That is, my experience with essay agency is quite the opposite what you are describing. I think I must defend the essay agency. A lot of harm has been happened to it because of the malicious propaganda by the people like you. You may allow me to say that you are maligning the essay agency and have been tarnishing its image in the public eye. Why should not I think that either you are personally against the essay agency or you are conspiring against it?
Leave aside the issue described by the URL which can be defended by Mr Joe only, kindly let me know what is your experience with the essay agency?
Waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Q. Rashid
Dear LaranceOfArabia,
Please refer to your message posted on April 16 under caption 'Anyone have information on The Essay Agency?'
You gave the following URL and said that you found name of Joe Boll through it as an owner of the essay agency:
whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=essayagency&tld=com
I have visited the aforementioned website and not found any word related to Joe and/or Boll.
May I ask you how did you conclude that the essay agency was being run by Joe Boll?
Doesn't it seem that there is some jiggery pockery going on against the essay agency?
Would you please like to elaborate?
Regards,
Q.Rashid
WritersBeware
nehal, you obviously know nothing about Whois records, or you are purposely acting dumb. On March 20, 2007, Mr. Boll edited his domain records to remove his name.
You claim that my FACTS are "propaganda"? No, sir, propaganda is what YOU are producing in his defense. I am merely stating FACTS.
Dear WritersBeware,
How do you know that Mr Boll edited his domain records to remove his name? Why are you following him personally?
I understand that you are focusing on the personality of Mr Joe but you have not replied to my question, what is your experience with the essay agency?
Waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Q.Rashid
WritersBeware
Nehal, he is obviously your buddy, so keep up the good work!
I don't follow him personally. People ask questions here, and I answer them with bonafide information. I provide evidence, unlike you. If you don't like my evidence, oh well. Blame him for doing wrong, not me for reporting it!
Numerous people have posted in this forum about poor service from essayagency. THAT is my experience. If you want to read their posts here at EssayScam.org, use the search feature.
It doesn't take a genius to look-up a site's Whois change history.
Any other challenges, friend of Joe?
I'm still waiting on your evidence that he is NOT a fraud.
Dear Writersbeware,
Again you are focusing on the name of Joe Boll. What I asked you, what is your experience with the essay agency?
If you have kindly let all know. If you don't have how you have a right to speak against the essay agency?
I have gone through all the messages. I have not found any evidence against the essay agency provided by anyone. If some one has, let him/her speak specifically.
If you could look at your answer you have revealed a secret of yours. It was LawranceOfArabia to whom I addressed the changing domain history question and not to you. Why should not I think that Writersbeware and LawranceOfArabia are the same person?
Waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Q.Rashid
WritersBeware
nehal, your selective memory seems a bit short:
I had already answered BOTH of your questions BEFORE you accused me of NOT doing so. Wake up!
As far as claiming, without any evidence at all, that LawranceOfArabia and I are the same person, you are pathetic. This is an OPEN FORUM, genius! Anyone can answer! If you don't want others to answer, don't post publicly!
Go defend your criminal buddy somewhere else. You've already been proven wrong at every turn with my EVIDENCE. You do know what EVIDENCE is, don't you?
Dear WritersBeware,
I put my question again: What is your experience with the essay agency?
Note: In this question we are not talking about Mr Joe Boll. And, you are not supposed to quote others opinion.
I have asked the aforementioned questions several times but you refer to other people. Tell me, why have you taken it upon yourself to highlight complians of other people? Who are you to do that?
If you and LawranceOfArabia are different, I have no objection but why did you answer the question that I posed to LawranceOfArabia?
Why don't those 'numersous' people reveal their true identity? Why do they write under psudonym? Tell them to divulge their name and contact numbers only then their voice will be considered credible. You don't even mention your name. Such is a state of your moral standing.
Tell me, if I lodge a complaint against the BT (telephone), should there some one like you get a right to initiate a campaing against the BT?
Had I been in place of Mr Joe Boll I would have filed a law suit against you and the 'essayscam'.
Waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Q.Rashid
WritersBeware
I have answered your stupid question several times now, and you continue to ask it. Put on your glasses and read! My personal "experience" with EssayAgency matters not. I would never do with with a convicted CRIMINAL! Plus, the statements of others only solidify the need to stay away from his site:
https://essayscam.org/forum/wc/credible-companies-write-186/2/https://essayscam.org/forum/es/agency-information-195/Had I been in place of Mr Joe Boll I would have filed a law suit against you and the 'essayscam'.
Go for it! I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you can't successfully sue someone for stating facts.
In order to file a lawsuit and not fall victim to a substantial counterclaim, you need to do two things:
1. Prove that what I have stated about EssayAgency's record of poor service is completely false;
2. Prove that your friend, Mr. Boll, has no criminal record.
Good luck.
Dear WritersBeware,
The URL you have given reveal only messages poste by six persons (tima1983, jjmarr, rav_London, moonlighthaze, celticless, and LawrenceOfArabia). To that effect where stand your claim of 'numersous' complaints against the essay agency?
Secondly, all of these six hid their name and contact numbers/address to verify the authenticity of their claims. Why it is so? Had they been genuine they should reveal who they are? Apparently, these are fictitous names to malign the essay agency. Isn't it?
Thirdly, even if it is acknowledged that these six are the genuine people to file complains, why don't you consider that out of hundreds who get their work done only six are dissatisfied? In other words, this is very low percentage, perhaps, the complaint ratio would be less than 1%. Had the number of complaints been in hundreds validating the word 'numerous,' I would have believed in your words.
Fourthly, you are needlessly banking on the statements given by other six people. That might be their experience, not yours. I think you need to be told that the word 'experience' is not meant for the purpose you have been using. You can say that it is your 'observation' based on the experience of others that you are hell bent upon to issue statements against the essay agency.
Fourthly, Joe Boll and the essay agency are not one person: both are different. No news item has been published that Joe Boll cannot write an essay or write faulty essays. These essays are written by writers and not by Joe Boll. Joe Boll is basically a middle man. So, personal character of Joe Boll, whether right or wrong, cannot affect the structure and function of the essay agency. If Joe Boll is such a wrong person, you need to speak to the telephone company as to why did it provide a line telephone to him to establish his credibility after such an offense?
Fifthly, Joe Boll is not my friend. But I condemn your attitude to tarnish his image. It is people like you who don't let a person rectify his past mistakes. It is people like you who keep society divided on the basis of history/past. I condemn you and your approach. If you have some personal vendetta with Joe Boll, you should settle it with him at some proper forum. This is cowardice on your part to hide your name and address and unleash a propaganda against anyone using the facility of the website.
Sixthly, just consult your lawyer. You have no right to unearth someone's past and advise others in this way and in public against some one. If law of this country is satisfied with him, you have no right to comment on his character or whatever happened in the past. If you think comments posted by others are your own 'observation', as you have stated (a proof against you) and that observation offers you an open opportunity to write against Joe Boll, you are mistaken. You will be held personally accountable for character assassination of Joe Boll causing him financial harm. So be ware.
At the end, if you are so bold and volunteer to save others with no malafide intention against Joe Boll, kindly provide your original name and address. Let us see how high moral pedestal you are standing on.
I expect your reply.
Regards,
Q.Rashid
WritersBeware
You have no right to unearth someone's past and advise others in this way and in public against some one.
LOL! I didn't "unearth" anything. I have simply posted evidence. I challenge you to prove false ANYTHING that I have stated or quoted.
Rashid, you have no concept of American law. If your buddy, Joe, is such a great, honest guy, why doesn't he come here to explain why he was convicted of crimes, and why customers should all of a sudden TRUST him?
Your post is laughable. You think I have no legal right to state FACTS? Pull your head out.
Are you claiming that he is NOT a convicted criminal who has been found GUILTY of deceiving customers?Are you claiming that the newspaper article on Boll's crime and conviction was fabricated by the newspaper?Why did Boll REMOVE his name from the Whois records of essayagency.com?What, exactly, do you claim that I have stated is false?Answer directly, or stop wacking on the keyboard.
Being a criminal has consequences, my friend. Ask the thousands of convicted felons who can't get a job because of what they did in the PAST! That's the way the cookie crumbles. After-the-fact persecution and distrust is part of the penalty!
Dear WritersBeware,
You have not replied to my questions. Do laugh but try to reply them individually. By laughing matter cannot be solved. You used to quote and reply. Kindly do it again.
Secondly, again you are focusing on Joe's past. Kindly convey me the sections of the American Law describing one time convict, true or not, is debarred for ever from securing any job or doing any business?
Now, your reply must follow the law and exact references.
Thirdly, find courage to tell me (and the readers) your original name and address.
I have also observed that you are writing against other writing agencies/companies. For whom do you work?
Regards,
Q.Rashid
WritersBeware
Stop asking the same crap that I have already answered over and over and over again. I never stated that he is "debarred for ever from securing any job or doing any business." Stop twisting my words and conconcting your own sick garbage. The ONLY thing I have done is QUOTE EVIDENCE from other sources, UNLIKE YOU. I've quoted the complaints of at least SIX other members of this forum alone. I have also referenced the newspaper article detailing Boll's crime and conviction. Again, if you have a problem with FACTS, tough!
As for putting my real name and address in a public forum . . . LOL!
Dear WritersBeware,
I welcome your stance now. You have confessed that you quoted from other sources. Good. No use of the word 'experience' this time. Another good.
Just going to your words, tell me, if a person cannot be debarred by law then how can you write against him?
By the way, who has given you a duty to write persistently against one writing agency and another? At a time, you are writing against three writing agencies. I am sure, there will be some other like you doing the same job here on this website.
Tell me whom you work for? By the way, why don't you tell me your name and address? I swear, I will not file a lawsuit against you.
Kindly reply.
Regards,
Q.Rashid.
Dear tma1983,
Are you around?
Let us have a chat.
Regards,
Q.Rashid
WritersBeware
Nobody wants to chat with you, psycho.
nehal, anybody who comes here and asks questions about a company is going to get EVIDENCE-BACKED FACTS from me about the company's track record of poor service (if any), fraudulent advertising (if any), and criminal activity (if any), etc.
Are you accusing me of LYING about something?
Why do you have a problem with facts? Are the facts INCONVENIENT for you and your friend?
Dear WritersBeware,
Who has given you a duty to write persistently against one writing agency and another? Are you and encyclopedia? At a time, you are writing against three 3 writing agencies. I am sure, there will be some other like you doing the same job here on this website.
Tell me whom you work for? At a message site against another writing agency under caption 'Customers stop Ordering from Essaywriters, Writers Stop Working for Essaywriters (Posts no. 173),' you wrote that it was not your job but your hobby to criticise, nay malign essay agencies. Here, however, you are saying that people 'going to get evidence-backed facts from you' about a company's track record of poor service, fraudulent advertising and criminal activity (considering you an encyclopedia), what you actual status is? How many lie you can tell in one minute? Your own track record is dubious what you can tell about the others?
I appreciate that now you don't use words like 'experience.' Now, you say 'eveidence-backed facts.' By the way, I have heard about 'evidence-based facts' but not 'evidence-backed facts.' Any way, some people get disoriented when put under the pressure of arguments and law.
By the way, why don't you tell me your name and address? I swear, I will not file a lawsuit against you.
Kindly reply.
Regards,
Q.Rashid.
WritersBeware
Are you accusing me of LYING about something?
Why do you have a problem with facts? Are the facts INCONVENIENT for you and your friend?
That's what I thought...no answers again! You're just mad beacuse your buddy is a convicted criminal and I provide the facts to everyone.
It is my "experience" in reading about essayagency.com that Joe Boll, the owner, is a convicted criminal, and 6 different people in this forum alone have been deprived of payment. He has not come here to defend himself against those charges, so why should anyone assume that he has a legitimate defense against all 6 of those people?
Brush up on your English, my friend. "Experience" does not automatically mean "personal experience." Every time you post, you make it more and more clear just how confused and and clueless you are in defense of your buddy.
STOP MAKING THE SAME POST IN MULTIPLE THREADS, or you will get banned! That would be a shame, since I am enjoying making a fool of you.
Dear WritersBeware,
Thank you for enjoying making a fool of me.
But the question is still there, for whom do you work to malign various people and writing agencies?
What is your true identity?

ARTICLE ON "SERIAL SCAMMER," JOE BOLL
--------------------------------
A prize-hotline conman who raked in thousands of pounds by duping people into calling because they thought they'd won a car has been sentenced to 200 hours' community service.
Bristol-based Joseph Boll, 26, hoodwinked people into calling a GBP 1.50-a-minute number after telling them they had the chance of winning a TVR sports car. Callers spent up to GBP 9 only to end up being offered a second-hand computer which came with a mandatory year's warranty - costing GBP 116.

Dear WritersBeware,
You are again fixed at the same point. You have given the URL of the stories published in 2005. I have nothing to do with that.
My point is, why are you after Joe Boll? What harm has been inflicted on you?
What are your grievances against the essay agency?
Are you the effectee of the scam you have referred to in the provided URL?
For whom you have been working?
How much have you been paid for this activity?
What is your true identity?
Why do you start using the slang language once you cannot answer?

None of your questions are relevant. I was here long before your buddy Boll came under fire here. Check the thread dates, idiot! Do everyone a favor and get out of here. You have absolutely nothing to offer except repetition and false accusations.
