Imperial essays has scammed me ( June 6th 2011 )

Good day People,

Please i really need advice on what to do
On the 18th of april 2011, i ordered a piece of work from Imperial essays and was assigned a writer, the amount agreed was 183pounds which i readily paid via Llyods bank and the writer started off on my work, fast forward to 2weeks later..i received the work and readily had to go submit it to my school, i couldnt even have time to proof read or really check it because at that period i had 4 other coursework to do and the work load was much on me hence the reason why i decided to settle down with imperial..

Anyway about 2weeks after submission, my school rang me and asked me to go see someone who is in charge of exams malpratice that my work was 84% plagerised, i was shocked and startled ( I couldnt believe it ) the 4 other piece of coursework were okay but that one piece of work from imperial was held back as it was seriously plagerised, there were no quotation marks and there it was heavy direct copy paste off the internet from just two Journals, my world crunmbled and i was asked to face a panel which of course i did and couldnt tell them the truth behind what happened,

Now since May 18th when i got that report, i have been asking Imperial to get back to me with a refund for my money since they have receieved print screen shots of the turnitin report as well as letters from my school inviting me to come face a panel just to prove that i really faced that set back and they have refused giving me back my money..please can someone who works with imperial essays around here kindly ask them to give me back my money ( so i could take down this post ) or rather would someone advice me on what to do to get back my money because since that issue began, they have been sending me emails saying they scanned the work with Viper and it was 1% plagerised where as my school used turnitin and it was 84% plagerised, what use would that piece of work be to me if my school rejected it.

Does that mean i have lost my money and have lost my work, I intend going from forum to forum with this report to put them out of business and spread word about their decieptful services..

Please people find attached to this message print screen shots of my turnitin report as well as the mail received from them when they assigned me a writer, sorry its not that clear as i had to use print screen shots then imported it to microsoft paint just to take off my names and details before sending it to Ms office and saving it.

I need advice on what to do because i even borrowed that money to pay for this same work that has landed me in trouble, now i have lost the money, the paper and havent even paid back what i owe people just because of imperial essays on their website they claim a money back guarantee ( imperialessays.co.uk/page.php?page=5)

Please i need help on how to get my money back.

I have emailed them my account details, sent them print screen shots and yet they have refused giving me back my money.

I hope to hear responses on this issue

please u can review attachment for the direct mail and my turnitin report
84% plagerised, they have refused to refund me my money and they wont respond to my mails any more, please sorry for the pic not to visable..i had to edit my name off it on MS paint and as such it tampered the visibility but u can save it and zoom into it to get a clearer picture of it, i need advices on what to do to get my money back

Imperial essays has killed me :'(

It is a big shame you had to endure this kind of experience. They have the same site as universitywork

Really sorry to hear about that mate.You have to be careful when dealing with online services. In all honesty it is best to work through a site that you were referred to by a friend.

I dont care anymore if i had that kind of experience

i have asked them for over a month to kindly refund me my money and they have dodged and stopped answering my emails and calls..

I intend visiting this forum as well as others to inform people that imperial essays

imperialessays.co.uk are scammer's

this is from an eye witness account (me)

Understandable. Hopefully you're able to find a better provider in the future.

yes true always do research before doing any orders

I think you got what you deserved. If you had planned your study properly you would not have been caught out at the last minute and so you could have checked the document before submission. To actually buy an essay and then submit it as your own work is not illegal but it is unethical. You don't deserve the mark even a good essay would get, nor do you deserve the degree.

What if you are studying medicine? One day you will need to rely on knowledge you don't have because you bought your essay and didn't re-write it yourself (and thus it becomes a legitimate study aid and in your own words so not plagiarism). Your patient dies because you were lazy. Or an engineer or a chemist or anything?

There is no excuse for what you did. I did my MA(Writing) in three semesters, four units per semester and I treated it like a full time job. It was hard work but 8 HDs and 4 Ds proved it was achievable.

Now you whine and moan like a little child because you got caught. I hope they throw the book at you and refuse to award you your degree. Cheat if you must but at least have the decency to take it like a grown up if it goes pear shaped. And one other thing. How weak are you hiding behind a username while naming the company that took your money? I bet you will go into politics or the Church.

Wrong.


Really? You have a master's in writing and you still use phrases like, "throw the book at you"? Where exactly did this supposed degree come from?

Huh? You are an argumentative type, aren't you? Can you point to the law that makes it illegal, as in a crime either felony or misdemeanour, to pass off an essay written by someone else as your own? Perhaps in your jurisdiction but not mine. Copyright infringement is illegal but plagiarism is not. It is against the rules and regulations of all schools but that doesn't make it against the law of the land, ie: illegal.

What is wrong with 'throw the book at you'? It is understood by one and all and gets the message across. Keep in mind you are arguably the only person on this forum with superior intelligence so I am writing for the lowest common denominator. Given so many here whine about getting ripped off for essays they should have written themselves I would think it wise to use cliches.

As for you, how come you are still here? Haven't you graduated yet? Or is this the only place you can lurk and exercise that superior intellect? I have noticed you attack all the new posters and basically drive most of them away, yet you have so little of value to offer to the forum as a whole. Still, every group has one and you're ours I guess.

As for my MA(Writing), do your homework and find out for yourself. Oh, BTW, I guess you did it on purpose when you wrote Master's in Writing in lower case. Gee, I really feel put down. Please, go easy on me.....

You don't need to feel so. You're welcome to make useful contributions to this forum and I hope that all the visitors would benefit from your posts. If you're making meaningful posts, Pheelyks - or anyone else - will not disturb you.

I don't know the laws in Kenya, but in the US it's illegal. It has nothing to do with plagiarism, either.


It's cliche and overused, and only an ESL writer would still include it and think it carried real power without any irony.


I graduated several years ago. This forum isn't just for college students. You're a ds.


Wrong.


Your writing sucks, regardless of whether or not you earned a degree at some second-rate foreign school. Saying you have a "master's" is an informal way of referring to your degree in the first place; the lack of capitalization isn't incorrect in this usage.

You made absolute sense till you got to the part of whining, I dont have to tell u personal details of my life, but when you find alot of work load as well as Jobs as well, then you surely would understand. the work sent to imperial essays was simply the easiest of all 5 other piece of work handed out to me. I had to plan out time for 4 others not to mention the depressing nature of my work, I got the work on time and check it - and it looked good on paper not knowing Imperial are not good piece of sons of b||tches did a direct copy paste - if you know nothing to write bout, then kindly shut your no good piece of punk arse up -

my tale here is to advice others that imperial essays are scams - they dont give refunds and they certainly give out plagiarized work

imperialessays.co.uk = SCAMMERS

Fair comment then jboy and my apologies if my remarks stung, however they did elicit more information from which I can make a more measured assessment. Have you ever considered reviewing your work load? As for exposing yet another scammer, well done on that. Taking money for their product means they have a duty of care to ensure they meet their promises and obligations, obviously they failed and in your case you paid twice for this.

As for Phyleeks; you are entitled to your opinion regarding my writing as you are to anything and everything else. Opinions are like a-holes, everyone has one, some, like you, are one. When you leave the personal attacks, spite and vitriol behind and post a balanced, thought out rebuttal I will reply, until then you are not worth wiping with a reply.

thank you

for your response!

I just mailed them one last time on giving me back my money!

Here's the mail,

Good day Imperial essays

Please i am considering going online and telling the world - what happened between myself and your company -

I have sent several emails to your company and your company has refused getting back to me, You provided a plagerised work and you have clearly refused giving me a refund

despite stating so.. you scanned the work with your viper and it was plagerised, my school scanned it and it was plagerised - who owns the work eventually aint it for my school

I am seriously considering going on the internet, setting up blogs, going on forums and going online just to tell my tale about how decieptful your company is, so Imperial essays for the

very last time, please kindly refund me my 183pounds which was paid to your company for a piece of plagerised work for quote number - *****

This is my very last mail and from this time tomorrow, without a word from your company, i would be going online and publishing tales of what happened and seriously

your company would tend to loose customers, i am really not the violent type but that is my hard earned money and i have really struggled and made to pay double price just cos that

piece of coursework was terribly written by your writer - so kindly let me know if i would be getting my refund or by 3pm tomorrow - you could go on google and type in

imperial essay scams and look online for the feedbacks from what people think about your services because i wont only be stopping there if i dont get my refund

Thank you and i hope you consider your intergrity before you choose greed ahead of what ever descision u choose to make consider giving me my money

Take care!

Good luck! I hope you've learned the lesson.

jboy, you might have more response if you keep it impersonal. Just say:

"Due to your breach of the contract between us by not providing the agreed upon work, I request that you refund my payment in full within 7 days. Failure to do so will give me cause to commence recovery proceedings."

Never ever threaten anyone, it only shows you are scared or desperate. Tell them what the issue is and the remedy you wish and then what you will do if they do not oblige. Not as a threat but as a statement of fact. Then if they do not comply, do it. No warning needed. Never say you will do something you won't and always accept that if you do take action, there may be unforeseen consequences you will have to live with.

It is much harder not to threaten than it is to do so. Most threats are merely ways to let off steam and not feel so vulnerable and helpless. When threatened, if you feel you can manage it, invite the threatener to act right then and there and you will find 99% of the time they will have some excuse ready not to. If they were serious they would do what they threaten to do. Once you call their bluff they have lost. Of course, if they do act you might need to work fast.

How did you pay them? If by PayPal or Western Union you should contact them and lodge a formal complaint. If by credit card, perhaps you can have it reversed and taken from their account. Always go for the hip pocket, it hurts the most. Perry

I paid them through bank to bank wire transfer

I sent them that mail already and i sincerely think they have seen this, Hell i might as well forget about the money paid but Imperial essays are NO RELIABLE and they are a complete Jerk and rip off.

Can i make complaints through the bank which i paid the money to.

Forget about the money because it is not possible to reverse a wire transfer transaction.

It is very unlikely that you actually paid through a wire transfer--these are costly and rarely used to make simply purchases. It is far more likely you made a simple online transaction using your checking account, and it is possible for you to raise a dispute with your bank. At worst, it will cost you ten minutes of your time.

Does that mean i should complain to lloyd's bank

It sure is a wire transfer. I don't think your approaching the bank for the scam will prove effective because the bank is always conscious of their customers' wrong deals and so they make sure while someone makes a payment, they (the customers) bear the entire responsibility.

However, it'd not be useless if you approach your bank and discuss the matter with them. Let's see how they respond.

Perhaps Phylks' concept of a wire transfer is a more US centric one and thus his firm belief it wasn't such? I agree with MeoKhan and think you should discuss the matter with your Bank, but I would not hold my breath. Do you know where they are physically located? You can always make inquiries with the authorities int heir own country. You never know, you may be the complaint they have been waiting for so they can pounce.

I would be going to make a formal complaint to my bank

from their website

I managed to dig out their location which is:

If they are a UK registered company then you should be able to apply some pressure. I would check the address, probably an accountant offering an address for the company. You should be able to trace the owners via the registration number etc. Are you in the UK? I would use Google Maps and check out the address, it looks like a residential home, tatty street. Not far from my cousin's house. You can always take out a Statement of Claim and deliver via registered mail, too.

Thank you perry, I sincerely dont know about how to check this out

and yes im in the UK about an hour away from London

So go there and knock on the door and ask for your money back. Scare the heck out of them. Stay calm and if they refuse, smile, walk away and go to the court, lodge a claim and have a summons served on them. Worth the few quid of the summons, which you can serve yourself on the registered premises or possibly be registered mail. Mind you, how much did you lose compared to how much to do this? Is it worth it? It is always much cheaper to buy a gallon of petrol and a box of matches.

"Thank you very much- sent them a final message"

""Due to your breach of the contract between us by not providing the agreed upon work, I request that you refund my payment in full within 7 days. Failure to do so will give me cause to commence recovery proceedings."

But the funny thing is, they no longer respond to my mails or calls again - How can a company, a registered company act so funny - can a scam get any bigger than this- they dont even seem to care

This is pathetic - God help the unfortunate existing customers within their grip, funny enough a friend rang me today and asked me for any writing companies because shes getting married next weekend and said she researched 3 companies

Oxybridge essays and this same Imperial essays

I had a long laugh and told her, if she knows whats good for her marriage she shouldnt go a 1000miles close to imperial and gave her my experience

its pathetic, absolutely pathetic

No surprise.

Typical work of scams - they scammed me and now stopped responding to my mails

im thinking of showing them this web link

wat do y'all think

Yes. And you should also visit different forums, discussions, blogs and unveil their ugly face to the world. Moreover, you should let those guys know what you're up to so that they learn a lesson and think a bit before scamming someone else.

This is also your right to record your protest; do whatever you can with your capacity.

pls can anyone personally tell me a good company that can handle my dissertation

Guys the same thing happend to me i want to take legal action towards imperial essay ive been trying to get a refund of £220 for the past 9 MONTHS! IMPERIAL ESSAYS is a fraudster website and im ready to sue them for it because they don't comply with their policies and there refusing to refund me of my money after i provided full proof and they accepted it apparently " they'll be able to use that amount for future services" LIKE say i WOULD ever EVER again use their CRAPPY **** Services. Bastards their actually fraudsters and ive had enough! Please get in contact the more victims the more proof we have against IMPERIAL ESSAYS. Its about time they stop stealing peoples money. ****MESSAGE ME IF YOUR PREPARED TO BARE WITNESS AGAINST THEM***

Why didn't you just start a chargeback and get it over with? Consumer education really needs to get ramped up...

You might find other posts by people stung by this company and the go ahead. However, remember doing a bit of research before doing any business over the www is a wise thing. This is what people here on this forum have been telling people.

The greatest time frame and study schedule can easily be derailed by an unforeseen circumstance. A death in the family, the crash of a computer, and act of god (if you believe in that sort of thing). Consider yourself lucky. You never needed to seek professional writing help because you never had a situation that required you to do so. The OP was not so lucky and he just had back luck after bad luck after making one mistake. That of hiring Imperial Essays to work on his paper. Don't kick someone when he is down. I am sure he felt bad enough considering he was facing academic sanction at the end of all it.

The OP had what I believe to be a misplaced concern. He was focused only on the refund aspect of the situation and nothing more. It was as if he had resigned himself to his forthcoming sanction. His is a strange reaction if you ask me. He was not concerned with expulsion or having to explain himself to the academic jury. Not a reaction one would expect of a student whose academic future was at stake. You misread the student this time. He was all about getting the money back. He was willing to end his academic career for some reason.
