UK essays.com asked me to provide Identification

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum, and I just want to ask any UK essays.com customers here, do you have to provide your passport or driving license as indentification after you paid?

Thanks

Masson

Hi Sinceritas,

I'm Carly and I work for the company that owns UKEssays.com. We ask for identification to prove that you're the card holder. This is to protect us from fraud; we're trying to crack down on people that steal credit cards to pay for work. The card owner then charges back the fees and we lose money because we still have to pay the researcher.

Alternatively, if you DON'T want to submit I.D. to us (this is understandable) you can pay using using the Verified by Visa or Secure Card schemes (set up by Visa and Mastercard to prevent card fraud) or pay your money directly into our bank account.

I had to do this recently myself when buying a camera from Warehouse Express, because the camera was expensive I had to send scans of my I.D. I was dubious about it too, until they explained, so I can understand your doubts!

If you've any questions just call the offices :-)

Carly,
UKEssays (which is a trading name of Academic Answers Ltd)

Thanks for the reply, Carly.

Against the Policies of this forum Carly... BTW Sinceritas you can also try out ukessaywriting.co.uk a better alternative i guess..

hi Researcher. I just looked at the website you're trying to spam, and, now that I'm done laughing, I have some questions.

now, let me say first that I'm not like some posters here, who will malign a company, just because of a few grammatical errors on its webpage.

I know that there are legit companies out there, which operate internationally, and have programmers/CS staff who speak pretty horrible English. this doesn't matter, generally, because these people aren't the writers-- mind you, it still scares away a lot of customers and potential writers, and it looks unprofessional.

but Researcher-- this website is a joke! you can't even get the country right.

let me clue you in. most countries, in English, require no article. in other words, you don't have to say, "I'm from a Jamaica," or "I'm from the Uzbekistan." it sounds ridiculous.

however, there are a few exceptions, and if you miss these, you sound equally ridiculous. English is a hard language to master-- there are important exceptions to nearly every rule. it's easy to remember, though, because it's always the definite article.

"I'm from the UK." "I'm from the UAE." "I'm from the US." do you get it now?

fix your webpage-- it's a joke!

btw, if you feel uncomfortable giving a company your ID scan, my advice is to use an expired license, and blank out the license number. they are just looking for your address, anyway.

How is that not this?


^_^

notice that I am not accusing anyone of fraud--just a ridiculous, glaring, global error.

perhaps I could have been more clear-- I am not one of those posters who will call a company a fraud because of these errors.

I will call it ridiculous, if a website claims to align itself w/ a certain country, mentions that country innumerable times on its page, and does not get the name of the country right.

Ahhhhhh... cool. ^_^ Solid post too. "The Uzbekistan" was priceless. :)

Same Old Shi*** .. hehehe... I can expect the kind of frustration from your side because it is an off season and your masters who have chained in you in rusty iron chains must be pulling the chains on you to perform.. hehehe.. what a joke you are.. ET mentions in on almost every page that it is an American company but it is most visited by ppl who are from South Asia.. heheh.. u can't fool around with ppl.. stop acting like a child.. grow up...

Researcher: I need to see some form of I.D., please. I'm fairly certain you are a card-carrying member of the Department of Redundancy Department ("hehehe"), but I might be persuaded otherwise. :)

Researcher - you were beaten silly as Chacha and, as "Researcher," are the forum clown. How about your running back to essaybrunch? Don't you have some greasy essays to cook up for hungry students?

I cannot get over the fact that you actually launched a site called essaybrunch. Was someone holding a gun to your head?

I don't see what this has to do with your not being able to correctly identify the country with which your website aligns itself.

...unless you are showing me that you know "America" requires no article. it's much less complicated than "the US."

hint, hint...

Hilarious. You 'tell me off' for going against the policy of the forum (though I'm not, I'm answering a your VERY crappy website. What a joke!

Were you feeling sleepy at the time of writing this post?

Well, that would be a legitimate excuse for making an error. You, on the other hand, are simply incompetent.

Haha, it looks like I accidentally deleted something before posting. Though I am pretty tired and a little rushed/stressed this week as it's my final week here at AA - trying to tie up a lot of loose ends.

To reiterate, here's what I meant:

Hilarious. You 'tell me off' for going against the policy of the forum (though I'm not, I'm answering a query) and then you post an advert for your VERY crappy website. What a joke!

Idiot

What an eloquent response!?

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Edit: to clarify, I didn't mean WB is an idiot....

The cand issuers knowof this practice and have tried to warn the cardholders about it. They have all stated that the card itself, as long as the back is signed, or for online payments, that the cvv is verified during the sale, then the card number serves as the only I.D. required for the transaction. I buy products regularly from ebay, amazon, and other sellers online. None of them ever ask me to send proof of identity. Not even after I bought an air purifier from one of them. There is something else involved with this requirement. A dark intention that need not be openly mentioned. You should know, as a company with a legal team, how to protect yourself from chargebacks without having to violate data privacy laws.

Hmmm... I received both an under maintenance and user denied notification page when I tried to access this site. It claims that it is under under online attacks, which I find strange. It properly identified my browser, DuckDuckGo, and claimed my browser was attacking them. A strange claim since DDG is known for protecting its users from attack, not the other way around. My guess is, DDG was banned by the site system because my browser effectively protects its users from website attacks that I may not be conscious of. The more I become familiar with these writing sites, the more I distrust them. I sincerely doubt this company has been under maintenance for this long. It has been taken down by the owners for one reason alone, they were caught illegally data mining. That is what the warning page I received was all about.
