American Research Companies

Since we can clearly state which companies are from Pakistan, Ukraine, and so on, I was wondering if I could get a list of which companies are from the United States. I am an Ivy League graduate with a Master's Degree looking to write for some extra cash.

The reason why forum members expose the nationality of websites and go on about this or that nationality is simple: some claim to be British when they are Pakistani/Kenyan/Chinese, etc., others claim to be American when they are Ukrainian, etc etc. It is really not nationality which is the issue here but the concealment and lies. Were a Pakistani company to come out and say that it was Pakistani and dedicated to the delivery of quality work, etc ... few would attack it on the basis of nationality.


I thinkthat would be interpreted as a `recommendation' ... against the forum rules.

Exactly.

Very true.

I contend that none of the current members in this forum would attack such a site based on nationality if the company were honest about its nationality.

I agree. Criticisms here are based on quality, honesty, etc and not on race/nationality ... To criticise a `writer' for his/her screamingly evident inability to construct a proper and intelligible sentence in English, is not a negative commentary on the writer's nationality or race (despite the fact that some have interpreted it as such, at times) but on the sheer guts it takes to offer a professonal service in a language which one has no command over.

As for sites which claim one nationality but are actually another - criticisms are based on the inherent dishonesty of it all, and should not be construed as an attack upon the site's real nationality. When site managers/owners deem the promotion of blatant lies appropriate, that should be interpreted as a clear indication of commitment to dishonesty. If the website owners were confident in their ability to deliver that which they are being paid for, they would not need to lie about country of nationality or hide behind false and assumed personas.

Two questions:
1) Writers - if you are denied your dues by a company, what can you do about it when you do not even know who you are really dealing with?

2) Customers - when the work you paid for is of abysmal quality/plagiarised, etc ... what can you do about it if the company and its owner(s) are located in a jurisdiction which is beyond your reach (that is, supposing you know where it's actually located in the first place)?

So ... when writers and companies are attacked, they are attacked because they are 1) dishonest or 2) have no place in this industry. The fact that they are one nationality or another is totally, absolutely and completely irrelevant.

OR, you make too much sense and contribute far too many facts. Shame on you for not being a liar or an apologist!

I'm going to learn :)

I think as long as the quality is good - it's all good. It is easy to catch the foreigner as most of them use complex structures (no good for US and Canada) and complex words as much as they can. That's what gives it away.

In some cases it is easier than you think :)

FYI, Americans don't really use "it's all good" any more.

If you want to be sick, far out, and totally awesome in your English skills, the first step is to stop pretending to be American.

just another wanna-be valley-girl...

I still do. But I don't get out much.


You forgot bodacious, wicked, killer, and my favorite, peachy-keen.

WB: ahh, you got me! I'm Canadian, born and raised in Vancouver. As for the word usage I have to disagree. Good day to you.

ok, so I guess it is against the rules to state which companies are actually American.

so I have a question. If no one would attack a site/company that was honest about their national origin and most scam/fraud companies claim to be from the US/UK.......what about the actual companies from the US/UK that claim they are from the US/UK??? How do you know if they're lying or not??

know what i mean jelly bean? (people still say that right?? maybe its just me then)

you don't.

Well, as I have always advised, you can check that a UK company is a Limited Company at Companies House in London. That's a good sign, as is a landline phone number.

Also, scam companies tend to have lots of fake and glowing testimonials (most are based in Asia or the US, or the UK and US).

Finally, the legitimate sites charge a reasonable amount for custom essay writing. Those who expect to pay a few dollars for thousands of words, should not be surprised if they have bought an essay that is about as useful as a chocolate frying pan...

What was wrong with the regular job market? you seem - educated enough to get a secondary jobin a related field. That is unless you are lying and you are just a 3rd world con artist trying to get unsuspecting students to trust your scam.

It would appear that the legitimate US writing companies are not big on publicity. They would rather the companies find them through the right channels than have to advertise themselves on forums such as these, where they will be open to attack from the actual scam companies. These companies do exist. There are actually several of them that I know of, but cannot mention here lest I be accused of promoting the companies. What I do know is, is that the American based companies do not hire ESL writers. Their hiring system is way different from the ESL companies hiring method. They are as different as night and day, but as always, the legitimate ones prefer to remain in the shadows and on the sidelines. Their only focus, is on getting the job done right.

I happen to know for an absolute fact that this isn't true at all, because, as an essay-company writer, I took more than a few projects that consisted of completely redoing essays that customers had to reorder because they'd been so badly butchered by ESL writers employed by the same companies. Much more recently (as in just a few months ago), I referred work to some American essay companies for clients with highly technical projects that were out of my range of expertise, and the little bit of writing required in between the calculations were very obviously (quite bad) ESL English.

That may be true for the companies that you know of. We are exposed to different fields I guess, which is why we have different experiences regarding this situation. I have experienced and have professional relationships with some companies that go so far as to trace the IP address of the applicant while they complete the chat interview phase of the applicant. This is actually the second step in their application process. The first being the submission of their resume.

They keep the applicant on the line long enough for their IT staff to do a complete and accurate IP lookup on the applicant. That is because they have come across some writers who claim to be US based or educated when applying for the writer position. Since they discovered that some of the applicants actually purchase previously used writer information (with only the applicant name changing) to give them a believable background when applying, they thought it best to do IP address traces to find out where the applicant is really located.

Once they learn that the applicant is misrepresenting his location, he receives an application rejection based on fraudulent representation of his personal data. Maybe not all companies do this, but there are some who actually go through the trouble to do so to protect their current and potential clients.
