Welcome to the forum. However, I'd like to suggest that if you are (obviously) completely new to this industry and (obviously) have absolutely no real experience writing academic projects for a living, you shouldn't use an ID that implies that you're capable of writing "dissertations"; and you shouldn't start contributing to the forum presuming to dispense advice to others. Your ESL-English, alone, makes it completely inconceivable that you could possibly be qualified to write post-graduate projects of any kind, at least in the English language. Why not simply introduce yourself here more honestly, as a new ESL writer who hopes to become a successful writer? Aside from your English, your suggestions -- besides being completely self-contradictory -- make it more than obvious that you've never (yet) actually worked as an academic writer. If you had, you'd know -- as every legitimate writer here already knows -- that it's completely impossible to conduct this type of business by writing projects first and collecting payment later, no matter how good a writer you are and no matter how well you produce every project.
let the writer work on your project to completion, check it, and when you are okay with the outcome, then you can now pay.
No business that provides goods or services of any kind online delivers its products or services before payment, whether it's a freelance writer, an essay company, or any other kind of business entity. At least essay providers can be vetted by researching their many-years'-long histories on forums such as this one, by Googling their websites and/or other IDs, and by reading years of comments from their previous customers and their other legitimate competitors. There is no comparable process through which a writer can check out the payment histories of prospective customers: there's no such thing as a forum called "EssayCustomerScam" where customers have an established presence discussing their practices and histories as customers. There's no comparable process for disputing and recovering
non-payment the way customers can at least dispute
non-delivery of a product through their credit cards and/or other payment processors. A writer who has been scammed by a client known to him only by an anonymous email address has absolutely no recourse and no way of recovering payment for his hard work. This job is already time-consuming and stressful enough with constant (often overlapping) deadlines most days of our lives, without also having to worry about whether or not a customer is actually going to pay for the work after delivery, and without the headache and wasted time of trying to pursue payments owed by clients.
With respect to your other specific suggestions:
Firstly, give every writer a benefit of doubt when dealing with them, don't judge them too quick.
Secondly, avoid sending money upfront (some people may take it without turning in the work).
Either you
are going to give a writer "every benefit of doubt" because you're
not going to "judge them too quick [sic]" and you
are going to follow that approach by paying them in advance for whatever portion of the work you order from them or you're
not going to follow that approach by trusting them because "some people may take it without turning in the work," which means that you do
not trust them and that you're
not giving them "every benefit of doubt." But you need to make up your mind, because, while you can make either argument, these two suggestions are diametrically opposite; so you cannot possibly make
both of these arguments or suggestions, simultaneously. It's either one or the other.
I believe this criteria can work for first time customer who is afraid of scam.
What would your advice be for totally legitimate honest writers who just don't want to take the risk of not getting paid after writing and delivering a perfect project to a customer known to him or her only as an anonymous email address?
