This is a mail that I have received from my friend called Johnson and I would like to share it with you. Please forward this mail to all your friends who are into freelancing business.
I would like to bring your attention to the following fraudsters who have duped me and must have duped hundreds of other people. So add these names to your database of fraudsters and don't take any work from them.
1) Paras Yadav - parasyadav@gmail
He will resort to the old trick of giving you bulk work like 400 articles at a time. He will then promise to give you more work if you complete the first set early, say within a week. When you submit the articles to him he will simply vanish without replying to you. Please beware of him. I have suffered because of him as I had to pay my writers from my own pocket as he did not pay me.
Moral of the lesson - Don't accept work of more than $50 without escrow. Do work worth $50 to $100 and then ask for payment immediately. If he does not pay then discontinue his work.
2) Cameron Powers - SlickAffiliates@gmail, admin@slickaffiliates.com
Another fraudster. He will give you work of about $700 for populating his forums or website with content from other sites. Once you complete his work he will remove his website from the current domain without paying you so you cant do damage to his site fopr non payment as he has removed it from the current host. For example, type wwew.slickaffiliates.com and see what happens.
3) Ailen Ebojele - blackwrites@yahoo
The most dangerous of them all. This conman from Africa first gives you work and befriends you. Then he will tell you that he does not have an account in paypal. He will tell you to accept a certain $4000 from one of his friends in your paypal account and then you have to transfer about $3800 to his other friends' accounts. So when you receive $4000 in your account from say person A and then transfer it to person B, he will tell you to keep the rest $200 as your commission for transferring and doing him a favor.
The next day you will find that $4000 has been an unauthorized transaction and that the funds have been illegally transferred. Hence the transaction of $4000 in your account is void. So your paypal balance then becomes negative by $3800 as you have paid the other guy that much money. In this way even paypal will not help you as you yourself have trasnfered $3800 to someone else's account. You end up then making your balance $0 from the negative by paying from your own pocket. So please please beware of guys such as Ailen Ebojele as my friend has become a victim of his tactics. Don't ever accept huge amounts of money from anyone for work or service not provided by you.

Good information.
Is there no way these fraudsters can be reported to authorities?

Thanks for sharing this information. I am sure it is very useful for us all.
Mate,
I'll give you $10,000 to write me three 100-word pieces.
Just send me your bank details, a couple of utility bills and a photocopy of your passport and I'll get straight back to you.

photocopy of your passport
Why do you need the passport copy?
ROFLMAO!
Same reason I need a scan of both sides of your credit card.
I would like to bring your attention to the following fraudsters
That is a very very useful piece of info. This is what we need on essayscam, and not atrocious promotions.
we need promotions, too. I just quit essaywriters.net today; I need a replacement.

Which country do you belong to?
I've only been burned one time. Wrote about 2 dozen papers for one student over more than a year. I always insist on prepayment generally, but during that time, she asked me to let her pay late a few times after her paycheck cleared (or whatever) and always made the payment on the day she said she would. She stiffed me on the last couple of assignments I wasted my time writing for her over one weekend after promising to pay me Monday. Since then, no exceptions for anybody on the prepayment thing and if a prospective client doesn't trust me enough to prepay the first short assignment, we just don't do business. Had a few who (understandably) needed a more lengthy explanation of why they should trust me, but nobody has ever actually refused.
Sucks... that must have stung. I had a problem with paypal once when the account of a client of mine got flagged and all of its transactions were reversed. However, I was able to get a hold of her through email and she just sent me the payment back through WU.
Which country do you belong to?
I'm guessing one whose native speakers know that isn't English (unless the poster you're addressing is a
territory or a
slave, in which case I apologize).
Could you please explain what you mean by the comment?
Same as always: I'm just continually amazed that someone whose English writing ability is as bad as yours actually expects native English speakers to pay you to write in English. The fact that you never have any idea what's wrong with your obviously foreign idiomatic expressions even after I point them out only proves how ridiculous it is for you to hold yourself out as a professional writer in the English language. Nothing personal.
It certainly couldn't get any more personal. Reflects your true character. Wish you luck in all your endeavours with your native employers.
Which country do you belong to?
Whatever's easiest
It certainly couldn't get any more personal.
"Personal" would be insulting your writing because I don't like
you.
"Principle" would be insulting your writing because I don't like
anybody who writes English the way you do and holds himself out as a professional writer in English. Nothing personal at all; strictly objective principle.

Well, not only do I expect them to pay me, I also expect (and often succeed in getting) excellent feedback for my professional writing skills (in your native language English).

Naturally, I wont. I'm not a native speaker remember? And, in my profession, I'm not expected to either. Your very own native English speaking co-citizens pay me for writing scholarly academic papers and confirm my excellence by returning to me again and again and again.... Most of my clients have been referred to me by previous clients.
Anyway.....its a big world and there's place for all of us. You live in yours (by your principles) while I continue to live in my very own (ridiculous world), earning a supplementary income worth several thousands.
dearbats, racism should be ignored ...
Your'e right..... guess it's time to move on :)
Most of my clients have been referred to me by previous clients.
What people like Freelance Writer find hard if not impossible to mentally digest is the fact that academic writing is not about having perfect grammar. In fact, most university-level rubrics for essays are very lax when it comes to qualifying what counts as "Excellent" where grammar is concerned and those who grade the papers are rarely grammar buffs themselves.

You are right. Grammar definitely is very important. But the grading people give more attention to the contents than the high grammar perfection, unless the paper is on Literature or Linguistics.

Bang on........as Always..........
One thing most of you are taking for granted here is that all or a significant number of customers are native Americans. This may be the case for a website or two, however a very large number of the industry customers comprises non native ESL students.
Absolutely nothing is being taken for granted here.
Speaking for myself, my direct clients are dispersed through the US (Chicago, New York, Florida)......working as correctional officers, mental health counsellors, secondary school teachers, social workers ......and ALL of them are native English speakers.
I do however agree that a good number of clients whom I cater to via the sites, appear to be non native ESL students.
The funny thing about it is that many Americans don't know the grammatical intricacies of their own language. Those who do know their way around the language are usually the same people who aren't lazy/busy enough to need our help in writing their academic papers.
WritersBeware
I find all of these justifications for fraud quite amusing.
Again, my question is simple:
"Why not be honest with prospective customers by openly acknowledging that you employ many ESL writers with grammar 'issues' and give customers the CHOICE of selecting 'ESL writer' or 'native English-speaking writer'?"
Perhaps you don't do so because you do not have enough (or any) qualified, native English-speaking writers? Perhaps you know that the average, American customer will NOT knowingly hire an ESL writer? Perhaps you realize that honesty and accurate advertising will put a significant dent in your profits?
I find all of these justifications for fraud quite amusing.
That's such a coincidence, we find you quite amusing too. :p You've so far spent 795 grueling days trying to get us off-shore writers out of the job but continue to fail miserably.
Goodnight. :)

EW_writer is a filthy, disgusting, PIG of a liar. Any legit member of this forum will confirm that I have NEVER stated such a thing.

Don't worry, you will be exposed sooner than later. Then you will cry like a baby. Readers should know that what I write is 90% true (10% is my best guess based on years of my research).
It appears you've always wanted to be a woman (posting under dozens of female names) and then you will have a chance to be a woman. A man weeping like a woman...

Moderator, can people just post anything now, without any fear of banning? When does it end? Are there no lines to cross? Should I do the same, making completely groundless claims that put this forum at legal risk without any concern whatsoever for the owner of this forum?

Well, "sooner" is out of the question simply because Stewy is a proven, filthy liar from Ukraine who can't post a word of truth to save his own life. "Later" implies that some form of lying or deception on my part exists, which is false.
Congratulations to stuPID4 on yet another mindless post.

I just state that I believe 99.99999% that you are a man and pose as a woman. Sarah, Amy, Elizabeth, Nancy, among a dozen of others, are your favorite fake female names. It seems whenever I post the 100% truth you weep and want to remove my post which meets all the rules.
All of my direct clients know that I'm an ESL writer from India and have absolutely NO issues with that. In fact, they refer more clients to me every year, some of whom I have to refuse or re-direct to other ESL writers.
Regarding the companies which I work for, I have absolutely no qualms about being called what I am, an ESL writer from India. And very soon, companies Will proudly begin acclaiming that they have Qualified ESL writers who deliver nothing but the best.
The world is rapidly changing, lets wait and watch what it holds for us (ESL writers).

What thing? Presenting evidence after worthless evidence against all companies that hire off-shore writers? o.O You HAVE been doing this from day 1 of your campaign with absolutely NO RESULTS to show for it after 795 days.
Here's to 795 more! Salud? :p

Please show me ONE accusation that you have EVER posted that anyone can verify as true. Hurry up, LIAR.
How many different pieces of verifiable evidence of fraud would you like me to post about BestEssays.com and EssayWriters.net? Pick a number-5, 10, 20 . . . .
Stupid4 is a fraudster from Ukraine who's jealous because he can't compete with legit companies in the US, despite his many avenues of false advertising. He uses this forum as a means to illegally defame his competitors in the US, as he very foolishly assumes that he (and his assets) is legally untouchable in Kiev.
HEY GUYS U ARE LOSING TRACK.............................
this post was initiated by one individual because he received a mail from another individual who told him that Ailen Ebojele scammed him. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
well i am Ailen Ebojele, and i was directed to this post today by a friend. did not even know sites like this existed or i would have posted all the guys who duped me, and all the clients i have worked for online that i felt were unfair to me. Or all the people i just did not like their faces, country or names, well that is if i had the time.
Well my name is really Ailen and for the record, no one scams with his real name. I am a freelance writer online. google up my name and see my articles and posts. You can also check triond.com/users/leno (please check how far back i started). Also check with Ezines, I have an expert author status with them and a couple of articles are in my real name. I have written over 300 articles that are on the site but under the names of other clients.
If I could really meet FOOLS like Johnson, I would not have to write. Well I am not even that evil-smart to try to outwit anyone by such means. At first read, I was really angry, but after a while it turned to pity for the twisted mind that did this. NO SHRED OF PROOF. You just come online and stack lies? Why? I have never worked with a Johnson as far as I can remember.
This person knows me and twisted my circumstances to make a good read. Yes I am in Nigeria, and yes I have problem with accepting or sending paypal payments (paypal is not available for my country yet). So I used to have a Nigerian friend in the UK receive and disburse paypal payments for me. When she is not around (she travels a lot back to Nigeria) I have friends/writers who I have known for a while who help me receive, disburse and send me my earnings. I have been burned countless times by this so called friends and colleagues but we are talking in the tune of $60 and below. I however remember way back when a couple, Mel and Steve (don't want to state their complete names) burned me for about $250. we still chat once in a while as 'friends'.
WHO MAKES $4000 IN ONE TRANSACTION AS A WRITER? PLEASE IF YOU ARE OUT THERE, TELL ME YOUR SECRETS. It would take me about 5 months to net that much. But the greedy foolish Johnson (with no last name) claims he was offered that much
I still do not understand the rationale behind this tale and no longer want to bother myself about it. I decided to post a reply for friends or colleagues who may stumble on this thread. Here is my own version of the story. Yes, I am a writer, yes I do not have direct access to paypal (most of u already know that), yes I am a very friendly guy to clients and fellow writers but no, I do not defraud people as claimed by 'Johnson' via his friend 'Mr Mail Receiver and Poster Without Clarification'
I have decided not to even visit this thread again. I have built a reputation in some circles as a very good writer and I live by the proceeds. I have steady job sources and so am not replying to beg for jobs. I do not also intend to change the name or email that i use online because of this.
This here is my version, the conclusion is yours.
Ailen
This here is my version, the conclusion is yours.
Err... what version is that exactly? I had to read the previous page to get what this story was about and from my point of view, you didn't give your version at all.
