Kenya is country of official English. They can go better. But they lazy they think client stupid. They should focus on good job. Kenyen writer is risky to company. They can be good but not often. Chance is low like in lottery. Look like from Kenya. English is official in Kenya but they talk in national slang. They no good for formal writing. Academic writing is too hard. They are good sellers, they sell good pets from Africa. Lottery tickets they get too. But not good writing. Many scammers. They hard to see in West world.

It's an anonymous email account, not associated with any person.

[Moved from]: DO NOT USE KEITH UNDERHILL@hotmail and bestwriter103@gmail

I found him from the essaychat website and he sent me a piece of work as an example which was good and not plagiarised . i checked using the /plagiarism-checker/ website . He put on an act of being very keen and trusting and even suggested we make the exchange of work and payment in installments . in the end he sent me a plagiarised assignment which was less than 50% original and still had the audacity to ask for more money . his email is keithr.underhill@hotmail or grademaker.com or frestles interactive . Do not fall into such traps . Because of this i had to hire another company to clean up the mess so close to my deadline. GraduateWriter.com which is on the recommended lists is very good. They send me my work on time and upto standards. Madeline entertains all my changes and requests . I would definitely recommend them and never use Keith underhill . He is scum .

Some people will say not to trust anybody with a gmail email address, but I've known exceptions to that rule. Did you try the writer out with a shorter project first before trusting him or her with a longer project? You should also provide some more details about your transaction and your agreement (such as what was supposed to be delivered when) if you want people with experience to give you advice about the situation.

Since the thread started by "TheStudent" yesterday was merged into this much older one, I want to address this self-serving thread title that is obviously intended to benefit some essay companies by suggesting to students that all writers using gmail, aol, and other anonymous email servers are necessarily "deceptive." Obviously, anonymous emails have been used by all sorts of frauds in this industry and in countless other industries; but there are also dozens (maybe hundreds) of totally fraudulent essay companies in operation for every legitimate essay company in this industry.

The person who started this thread in 2009 knows for a fact that the top 4 or 5 writers (especially in 2009) at the essay company that the OP considers the best and most reliable American essay company in existence all used aol and gmail emails, both as our primary contacts with that company and for our freelance work. Some of us have also purposely used the exact same S/N on this forum as the Writer ID that we use on essay-company boards and as our "anonymous" email, as well.

Customers should always try out any writer and any essay company with a short order first, before trusting either of them with a larger payment for a longer project. You're no better off with a fraudulent essay company than with a fraudulent writer and you should know that the best and most experienced writers at the best essay companies tend to do a lot of freelance work, more often than not, using those same "anonymous" email servers. I don't know any successful essay-company writer who doesn't also do a lot of freelance work, which makes sense, since essay-company writers are almost always freelance writers and not actually employees of those companies. Those of us who become very good at this tend to transition to doing mostly freelance work instead of essay-company work for obvious reasons. To suggest that anybody using gmail or aol emails is necessarily "deceptive" is, in itself, a deceptive statement, especially when the implication is that forming an essay company is any kind of guarantee that it's more trustworthy than any freelance writer using gmail or aol, etc. All one needs to do to see that is go through the hundreds of horrible and outright rip-off essay companies that have been identified on this forum.

I am the OP. My original post had/s nothing to do with the very small percentage of "legit" writers in the essay industry who inexplicably refuse to obtain a reputable, traceable, verifiable email address that will distinguish them from the throngs of scammers who infest the servers of anonymous email providers like Gmail and Yahoo. It is not my responsibility to provide caveats in defense of the known handful of "legit" writers who use anonymous email every time I communicate about general safety measures.

The bottom line is that thousands of fraudulent "writers" from third-world countries open and close Gmail accounts at the drop of a hat. Any such fraudster can open a Gmail account in literally 2 minutes, wiping his/her dirty slate clean with literally no losses in terms of time, dollars, reputation, and emotional investment. In complete contrast, a fraudster can't register a domain, design a Web site, write Web copy for each Web page, configure link structure, find/pay for/configure hosting, configure incoming/outgoing servers for domain-based mail, configure a payment system, submit to search engines/directories, work on SEO (both on- and off-page), etc. in 2 minutes.

Therefore, if we assume that all other factors are equal (and that is being extremely generous to the average fraudster and/or writer who uses an anonymous email address to try to attract business), it is much less risky for a customer to deal with a company that uses a company domain-based email address(es). The reason is simple: the average company/site owner in the essay industry has invested much more time/money/energy/emotion in his/her identify and reputation than the average Gmail account owner. Therefore, the average company/site owner is much less likely to commit intentional fraud. That is simply indisputable.

As for the value of placing a small "test" order with a "writer" who's using an anonymous Gmail account, that is utterly useless if the anonymous writer is, indeed, a fraudster. A fraudster can incredibly easily fake, steal, or otherwise misappropriate a short writing sample on any given topic, simply by stealing it from a Google search and altering it (if necessary). Anonymous fraudsters have even taken it a step further by paying a legit company to write a short sample and then using that sample to fool an unsuspecting customer into shelling out big dollars for a 100-page dissertation (for example).

My only problem with this thread is the title and I don't know whether you titled it or the moderators changed it, as they do sometimes. The title makes no distinction whatsoever and obviously implies that any writer using any of those email servers cannot be trusted, which you and they know as well as I do just isn't the case.

The reason that at least 4 writers you know for a fact to be reliable, legitimate, and talented still use aol and gmail is simply that we've been doing this for years before this forum was created and before we ever knew anything about the frauds out there in this industry. By the time we signed up here, we already had way too much goodwill established with clients associated with our emails to just discard them, especially since those same email addresses would have then become available to anybody. In my case, I've had the exact same email for 15+ years and you know, firsthand, that my S/N here is the exact same one that I've used as my essay-company ID since 2003 for the company that you consider the best in the business.

Why do the legitimate writers still use gmail when they can register a custom domain for $10 a year and use a custom email...
FreelanceWriter  6 | 3060   ☆☆☆☆☆   Freelance Writer
Dec 17, 2015 | #58
I can't speak for anybody else, but in my case, I've had no problems using my aol email for 15+ years with the exception of the deliberate implications from two posters on a public forum who I strongly believe have a financial interest in suggesting, in a dozen different ways, that essay companies are necessarily safer than any freelance writer; that's why. Both of them happen to know, full well, that some totally legitimate writers still use aol or gmail and that some of the worst rip-off, scamming, fraudulent essay companies out there operate slick-looking company websites and their own email domains, and simply open new companies and websites every time their old ones get outted for what they are..

Stop beating around the bush. If you want to make an accusation, just make it! We both know that you are referring to me with your backhanded bulls-i*, so stop playing games. I will NOT continue to sit back and let you deride and undercut the COMPLETELY VALID assertions that I have made about anonymous/free email. FYI, this is 2015/6. I'm not responsible for your desire to remain in 2003 with your AOL account. You know, there is something called "email forwarding" at the account level. There is also something called "email filtering" at the application level. You know . . . groundbreaking stuff from 2006. Maybe you should explore those options instead of posting self-serving rebuttals against what is perfectly sound advice for prospective customers?

Well, I also still use my wife's old first-generation Motorola Razor for a cell phone and hockey equipment from the 1980s. Would you disagree with the following statement?

"Whereas there are certainly some very good, legitimate freelance writers who still use aol or gmail, prospective clients should always be more careful anytime any service provider uses any kind of anonymous email, because that anonymity can also be easily exploited by scammers."

Sorry to jump in. In my humble opinion, W2B is obviously making a very valid point. While there are obviously legit writers like you, FWL, who belong to the legit old school group, there is no doubt that making a gmail, yahoo, etc. email account is far easier than running a scamming website because the latter requires juggling quite a few balls together.

Though I am not sure, I think scammers with disposable emails are far too many in comparison to that scamming websites that must also be condemned. I myself have been running low on the gmail thingie ever since 2006, but now I believe it is about time to jump out.

I honestly believe that a writer of your repute and stature can easily get a permanent email address to add some glamour to your name, lolz. Otherwise, ol' school is ol' school. :)

Google his email address and his name if he provides it to you. Use the search function here as well, but change the default from "titles" to "messages." More generally, always try out any new writer or company with a small order first and leave yourself a cushion to do the assignment in time for your deadline just in case you end up getting something unusable (or nothing) from the writer.

tips-on-how-to-write-an-essay-on-plagiarism to write a non-plagiarized paper is a hard work. To write a paper on plagiarism is no less hard. Try it and you will see. If you have no time, lack of imagination or writing skills, ask for professional help and you will get it in a blink of an eye.

And btw,I never mentioned you are anyone else directly.I still cant comment on whether or not you've been helpful much

You can "not agree" all day long because you happen to use an anonymous email address, but the numbers overwhelmingly prove that my point is valid.

Well, then, that proves you don't know how to take advantage of the search function or user profiles.

Yes, the numbers are correct. The vast majority of all scammers, thiefs and frauds uses anonymous emails.

But, you continuously fail (or refuse) to address the main issue - several of the industry's BEST writers also use anonymous accounts. While that's not an excuse for the other lot, it does offer a different perspective, wouldn't you agree?

Whether you like it or not, it does account for something. I mean, even you have to agree that the likes of FW, PV and few others who frequent this forum (or they used to anyway), represent the industry (at least when it comes to freelance writers, companies are a different flavor).

I won't even try to contend the fact that there are about 100 scammers for every honest writer, that much is obvious. But I will contend that you can't just place them (well, us) all in the same basket and call it poo. It doesn't stick.

It is not my responsibility to provide caveats in defense of the known handful of "legit" writers who use anonymous email every time I communicate about general safety measures.

If you're referring to this, yes, I read it. That's a masterpiece of convolution, if I ever saw one.

While I agree it's not your job to do so, I feel it would be good for students - who are the main target of those you so eagerly oppose - to know that they have some chance of finding a good writer with an anonymous address, just like they can find a good company.

Alas, I believe all of us should be more active and engaged in rooting out the weeds. This includes you, as well, even more so as you've dealt many blows to scammers over the years. Whether you are a company rep or not is completely irrelevant in this case, because the entire industry, including your interests (whatever they are), is being damaged beyond repair by scammers.

Finally, I too, choose my words very carefully. When I do, I do so because I want to address a specific issue. In this case, it was your continued persistence to dismiss reputable writers because they are using a specific type of account. You can contend that you do not, that's fine, but it doesn't take much to read between the lines and find the (very) convoluted message you're sending out. What I'm trying to say, if anything, is that we would be much better off fighting those who are hurting our business. And yes, that means both freelancers and companies alike. I know it, you know it, most decent people here know it. But, for some reason, we just keep going at each other's throats. While I find that very amusing at times, it doesn't help our cause, does it?

@wordsies-- I felt a part of your commonality until you used an infinitive instead of a gerund, and I realized you were just another ESL hustler who hasn't mastered the language trying to hitch a ride on the coattails of real professionals. Why don't you get out of here? Go find somewhere no one cares if you awkwardly mess up your prepositions and gerunds. Sell crappy Eastern European hip-hop CDs on a street corner-- you will actually look less foolish than you do now. Leave academic writing in English alone. There are plenty of people who actually grew up immersed enough in the language to be able to competently avoid its most flagrant usage errors. They've got this. Good luck.
