Emails of deceptive anonymous writers (@gmail, @yahoo, @hotmail, @outlook, @aol etc. accounts)

Well, at least I didn't split it........

Bulls-i*. Where are you getting that garbage? Do I come across to you as someone who mixes words or feels the need to be "convoluted" in my message? I give a grand total of zero fuc*s what anyone thinks. I have made many thousands of posts since 2008. I challenge you to reference ONE--just one--in which I question the skills of any of the legit writers to which you refer. I'll be waiting.

You know full well what I meant. What's more, I said it plainly, without circling the pit a thousand times. It's your problem that you don't like it. At least have the courtesy to evaluate the entire post as it's given, don't go cherrypicking and then try to throw my words back at me like (I'm) a mindless m-n.

Won't argue with you there

Of course you won't. Because then you'd have to write something longer than a one liner. We both know that's not gonna happen. Now buzz off, it's time to drink your milk and go to sleep. Adults are talking.

I just created an anonymous Gmail account.

Time investment: 7 minutes
Monetary investment: $0
Emotional investment: none

That's all it takes for a scammer to begin ripping people off. When one email address gets exposed, he/she simply creates another without a second thought. In fact, scammers almost certainly have multiple backup email addresses prepared in advance. It's part of their game. They literally have nothing to lose. Nothing. That's why doing business with a "writer" who has no ties to -- or vested interest in -- a legitimate business/corporation/organization and uses only an anonymous Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, etc. email address is extremely risky (and downright stupid after being warned).

Yes (provided you used a free WIFI to access the Internet ; ). Still, the new 'Freelance Writers' addition that doesn't allow freelance writers to add an ad on EssayChat without having posted here (and continue posting to keep the ad active) takes care of it; low-quality writers will have to reveal their poor writing skills here :).

Like melodic and Terpsichore, "add an ad" is fun to say. Although alliteratives are usually the best, other words that are also fun to say include:

Paducah*
Zimbabwe
Mozambique
Rancho Cucamongo
Katmandu
High-Falutin'*
Discombobulate
Phantasmagorical
Rhutabaga**

* My favorites
** Can also be used as a cheer as in, "Rutabaga, rutabaga, root root root!"

I gave £400 to a freelancer called Jamie Lewis who's email is jamienewsroom@gmail and he completely scammed out of my money. Avoid him like the plague he sometimes goes by @Jamie__Lewis (twitter), JlEditorial and Jamie Newsroom Lewis. Didn't provide the work and work give me a refund. He claims to have worked for the Independent, IBTimes and the Huffington Post -regardless avoid like the plague!

I rode "Phantasmagoia" countless times before the new owners tore Bell's Amusement Park in Tulsa, Oklahoma down in 2006* to make room for a desperately needed parking lot.**



It wasn't particularly scary, but it was a great place to make out: The ride also had a couple of roller coaster-like bumps and spooky effects that made it interesting but good God it was hot in there in the summer.

Bob Bell and his sons actually built this ride (and several others -- including many he sold to other amusement parks in the U.S. during the second half of the 20th century) and he and his wife were rumored to live, at least part-time, in an apartment beneath "Zingo" for many years (see below):

I watched them build this roller coaster while I worked in my first job as a 14-year-old busboy at a cafeteria down the street for 75 cents an hour. I was envious of the 16-year-old's who were employed as roller coaster monkeys in the construction (they couldn't do that now, of course -- child labor and all), but they did make a buck-fifty an hour.



Zingo was my favorite roller coaster of all time: I also remember Bob standing at the entrance to his park in 1965 with several of his assistants behind him, refusing admission to a Chinese delegation visiting Tulsa because they were "commies" (stupid, I know, despite his brilliance, huh?)***. All in all, everyone misses this park a lot and the citizens of Tulsa were ******.

WritersBeware Kindly remove my email: niccomboya@gmail. If you have no evidence of your alleged deception, do yourself a favor and remove me from the list.

Students looking to hire professional services should not deal with any writer who cannot afford a professional sounding email address on a paid email server. Anybody who works using free addresses tend to be questionable in my opinion. Why would you go into this business and then use a free-mail address? It doesn't make sense. There is no professional integrity attached with freemail. If anything it lessens the writer's persona as a professional in this field. A free-mail address is no better than a pay as you go mobile phone. It is almost impossible to trace because it can be discarded anytime in favor of a new one. If a writer does enough damage under one account, he can always go get another one. It is up to the student to protect himself by not working with writers who do not portray themselves as professional within the independent writer circle. Using a free-mail account is one of those warning signs.

What you're saying only applies to unrecognizable anonymous emails, not to anybody whose email address has been the same for many years and is well known in this industry. From 2000 to 2009, I did business only through my email account and my email was my professional identity. The only reason I had to create a website in 2009 was because someone created this thread very specifically and for the express purpose of trying to steer as much business as possible away from independent writers and toward essay companies.

I have a paid email account, in fact several of them. I only use those for marketing and business purposes. The fact is, if you take the time to look up the emails of some of the writers posting here, you can find a slew of content they wrote, or linked, or whatever else. After being in the industry for so long, there's bound to be a lot of traces online. What you should worry about is writers who try to sell themselves as having 10, 15, or 20 years of experience, while their respective emails return exactly 0 results when you look them up online.

I thought I would update this discussion with my opinion. I know, nobody asked for it and the thread is eons old. Who cares right? I do. I care because the writers that I help use freemail addresses. Not because they are con artists, not because they hiding behind the free account. They use the freemail address because that is all they can afford. Some of them work out of internet kiosks and cannot afford to pay for professional email accounts. I never thought any less of them or judged them by their email address. Why? The email address is not as important as the quality of the work delivered and the integrity of the writer. It isn't the email address that counts, it is the talent and skill of the writer that makes the difference. The clients don't really care about the writer's email address. Mainly because all they care about is that the work is good and they get the grade they indicated in the order. The email address of the writer has nothing to do with that.
