Need help, I can't tell who is legit and who is not

Finding a legit writer is really up to the student. If you go with the writing services are suggested by the forum owners, then you know they can be trusted. If you decide to go with an independent writer, then make sure to spend some time meeting with the writer. Make sure the writer checks off all of your requirements and that you are confident in the services he offers. Once you have found a writer you want to use, then look up the reviews connected to that writer profile here. If the reviews do not disappoint, then you have definitely chosen a legit writer to work with. Trust the companies listed here and trust the independent reviews of freelance writers at this forum. You can't go wrong.

Legitimate writers can still be found at this forum even though they seem to be radio silent when it comes to the threads. I have heard that there are some who still respond to private messages coming from students that reach out to them via this forum. Those long time writers are definitely legit, even though they are no longer associated with this forum in an active manner. While there are still writing services out there and some independent writers can be found via social media, nothing beats a writer with a long standing positive reputation like the writers whose names and identities can be found at this forum.
