Essaycoursework.com = UKessays.com = Scam?

Today I came across a website called essay coursework whilst searching on Google.

The website claims, 'Soon to be the largest essay database on the web'.

There is no information on the website regarding ownership and quite a few of the links just reload to the index page.

I was a bit suspicious therefore I did a bit more research and checked out the whois, the site is registered by someone called, 'Jennifer'

Having done a google search on the name 'Jennifer' I found that she is connected to a company called All answers Limited, A.K.A uk essays.

See the following links:

ukessays.com/meet.php
articlesbase.com/college-and-university-articles/custom-essays-cheating-or-study-aids-664157.

The worrying thing here is that UKessays is a very large and well known 'custom' essay writing site in the UK, they write thousands of essays each year for students.

They also own a website called, scanmyessay.com a.k.a. Viper, which is a free tool used by University students to scan their essays for plagiarism. The website was voted as the worst system for detecting plagiarism on the internet by a University professor, who specialises in Plagiarism. See the article below:

plagiat.htw-berlin.de/wp-content/uploads/PlagiarismDetectionTest2010-final.pdf

So the fact that Uk essays is offering a pre written essay database type website for students is very worrying. Where are they getting these thousands of Essays from? The students who are unwittingly uploading them via viper? The thousands of customers who bought the essays via uk essays and the many other sites that they own?

Is it ethical or legal for this company to resell essays that other people have uploaded for free to check their work, or who bought them in confidence on a website that claims that it never resells its work, another big concern is whether this is copyright infringement?

Hm, good find.


In general, nothing is free. If you use a 'free anti-plagiarism tool' there is always a fine print. I wouldn't be surprised that their system actually stores essays and puts them up for sale after X months/years from the submission time..

Does anyone remember my thread in which representatives of that company communicated that they do not and would not have an essay database? Isn't Jennifer in this forum?

Evidence indicates that Jennifer is, indeed, a direct representative of "All Answers Limited" / "Academic Knowledge."

Essay databases made from "100% custom and never resold essays" are common in this industry. For example *********.net/db/search

Too bad ET claims no such thing on its site, moron. Good job with the fake quote.

Hey, Olena, what is your sickening obsession with ET? I know that they kick your Ukrainian sites' collective a*s in every conceivable way, but your constant nonsense in every thread is both pathetic and laughable.

with Ukessays and any other essay writing it's a gamble!
I did pay to get a 1st and got a fail and ONLY got a 10% discount after pestering them..

Hi All

I am currently using ukessays for my two assignments and after reading some threads here, i am feeling a bit anxious about their service and quality of work. I have asked the first assignment to be done in 14 days timescale and the second in 7 days.

I'll keep you all posted on how i get on with their service. I have paid good amount of money so i am hoping to receive an excellent service.

They are getting it from the very students who pay to have "original" papers written for them. The company may or may not inform the student that the paper that was written for them did not transfer to them as intellectual property, and the company reserves such right to the paper and any future use it might be required for. That is why it is important that students who hire services ask about the transfer or rights regarding the paper. Make sure you own the rights so that the paper will not show up on some database in the future, endangering your ability to graduate on time (if at all).

We seem to be experiencing an influx of offline websites. Companies that are no longer in service but still listed as active at this forum. For some reason, the sites direct you to a Chinese server when clicked at this time. This refers to essaycoursework and not UKessays. I am still barred from accessing that site from my current location. I wonder if I will ever be able to access that site in particular.

It is one of life's mysteries why you can't access UKEssays website especially as they are one of the most reputable essay companies whom British students can use with confidence. They operate within the law unlike some companies and writers on this forum.
