Pseudonyms of CustomPapers writers?

Is anyone familiar with Jane, Mary, or Kelly from custompapers.com? They've done great work for me in the past, and I'd like to re-connect, but I don't do business with custompapers anymore.

Those are generics normally adopted by these operatives to mitigate against future possible exposures from scammed students. They don't use their real names. It is not surprising though as this industry is based principally on fraud, deceptions, threats, and ghostly darkness. It's not possible to know who is who and who is up to what.

Kimberly, Kristina, Brenda, and Brian are the best editors I know (all of them reviewed my work and provided a rebuttal to my dispute with a professor who kept failing MY OWN Bachelor's thesis due to it [not following all the established criteria and formatting] and other generalized comments). After three months, my thesis was finally accepted last week :)

I've gone by "Professor Verb" for the last 15 years, but I also like "Doctor of Love" and "Gamemaster."*

@pdelta911, It's funny that you actually have the names of writers that you worked with. Normally, the academic outsourcing company does not allow the writers to use their real names. Normally, aliases are not allowed either. Instead, the writers are given ID numbers that they have to use in communicating with the students. It is admirable that you want to reconnect with them. I guess you had a very good writing experience with them. I wish I could have kept in touch with the students that I have worked with over the decades. However, changing companies often and always being connected with a writing company prevented me from having a personal relationship with them. I wish I could have retained them as friends as working with them during the academic year often made us feel like friends already. I wasn't allowed to have an alias at the last company I worked for, just a writer number (again). It will be hard for you to trace these people because they only have made up first names, no last names, and their names change depending upon the client they are working it as well. They may not even be connected with the company anymore.

I've always just used "FreelanceWriter" for my writer ID at every essay company, as well as for my user ID on any writing-related forum. They may have changed their rules since then, but the guy who wrote the article (and book) "Shadow Scholar" simply used his last name for his ID at the same company. He published his book under his real name and I immediately recognized it as his old company ID.

@FreelanceWriter You are so lucky that your handle is always available at all the companies or forums that you joined. In my case, my handle is more often than not, taken by someone else and then I have to vary my username with a number series at the end. Which made it very inconvenient to remember. Later on, I discovered that the longer I make my username, the more likely it will be to be available for my use. Was that the main reason that you chose such a long pen name? At a certain point in my writing career, I just started using my email address as an alias because that seemed to always be available. Do you know where I can get a copy of "Shadow Scholar"? I would like to read the book. Do you think it is available online? Is the author personally known to you? I don't mean to pry but, I was just intrigued because you said you recognized that he wrote the book under his real name, the last name being his company ID. How did you figure it out? He must be a very confident person. Others mask their names when they work on actual publications. Mostly to protect their personal identities. I am also a published author but I use an alias which is really far from helping people to identify me as the writer even if they meet me in person.

Ahem, you sure ask a lot of naive questions for a "published author" who presumably has some research skills. For instance, Scott Adams (of "Dilbert fame) secured his email address (scottadams@aol)* because he was an early mover. Likewise with other posters with complete and desirable names. If you have to add a bunch of numbers to the end of a desired username, you aren't using your imagination.

Of what interest is it to you that I ask a lot of questions @ProfessorVerb ? Just as you people can claim to have met important people, but work in the dark world of academic outsourcing, I too can lay claim to being a published author, of which I am. I need not offer you people any proof of that just because you question my qualifications. I could question your qualifications no end as well. Is this the game you want to play? I can play this all century if you wish. Bring it on. I am game for it.

I ask questions because I want to get to know @Freelance Writer better. I had a rough start with everyone here when I first arrived and I am more than willing to make amends and build bridges, with anyone who is willing to do the same. I am participating at this forum not to make enemies, but to make friends and help grow the network of writers. I do not aim to pick fights with anyone here. However, if it is a fight or argument that you want @Professor Verb, then I will be happy to oblige you.

As a researcher of more than 20 years, yes, I have been writing that long, having started when I was 18 and in college (I had very lazy classmates) and I have been published for half of that as a romance novelist, my first job is to ask questions. Have you forgotten that? A researcher's best weapon is his ability to ask questions. That is how the written work comes about. If one does not ask questions or do research before writing, which it seems you do not do, then how do you expect to write accurate, informative, and notable papers? You should know this since you claim to be a far decades older freelance writer of an "advanced" age (who should be set out to pasture) , you should be familiar with the importance of asking questions in relation to research. Or did you not learn that through your political connections who could not seem to get you work in a more responsible arm of the government? Strange, since you have a knack for name dropping them in your other threads.

How I choose my username is none of your business. The reason I opt to go with the numerical addition is because I have a personal reason for wanting to use a particular name. While remembering it becomes a bit difficult because of the numbers, how I choose my username is my prerogative and I do not appreciate you inferring that I do not have any imagination when it comes to that. Do not speak about things that you are not familiar with. I do not attack you in that manner, but if you want me to, that can be arranged. Do not dare me. I never back down from a dare.

I will let you alone for now. Come after me again and I will continue to engage you in a heated discussion. Like i said, I have the time to waste, do you? I guess the freelancing business isn't at lucrative as you make it seem for yourself if you are not swarmed with clients and have nothing better to do than engage in petty arguments that you seem so desperate to start. In fact, I will appreciate it if you come after me, you don't know how much I will appreciate it. You will help me bring this forum to life. So thanks in advance. I look forward to engaging you in a discussion again. Bring it on!

Re: "help me bring this forum to life"

Wow! I did good, huh?

I chose it simply because it's exactly what I do for a living. When I first joined AOL in 1997, it was already in use by someone named "Kim"; when I checked again about two years later, it had become available, because the person who'd previously owned it apparently decided to give it up.

I used my AOL email as my only ID for a decade with no problems. but created a website in 2009 or 2010 because various undisclosed website owners were investing a lot of energy on this forum telling clients not to trust anybody without a website (and without ever bothering to acknowledge that they knew for a fact that at least one or two of us were totally legit because we used the identical User ID here and email that we used, simultaneously, as high-volume writers for their companies). I don't disagree that emails are much easier to create and change (and, therefore, to be exploited by scammers) than websites; but after having provided their companies with thousands of projects as one of their premier writers, I'd have expected at least an honest acknowledgment in their blanket warnings that there were at least few obvious exceptions to the general rule about not trusting any writer who just used an email address instead of a website (and especially an email address that made absolutely no attempt to hide its connection to a forum ID). That's especially the case considering that I almost lost my membership here around that same time for defending that very company against false accusations by competitors that I knew for a fact to be totally untrue. It would have been much easier (and safer) for me to simply remain quiet here while they fought it out with those competitors instead of defending them (truthfully), both here and elsewhere online, the latter of which was in response to their specific request for me to do register on another site to do so for them.

It's not "prying," but I believe what PV was implying in connection with his comment about research skills is that it doesn't seem necessary, nowadays, to ask whether a book is available online, at least not without checking Amazon first. He also probably figured that it was already very clear from my previous post exactly how I figured out which company writer wrote the book: namely, his last name happened to be the Writer ID that he'd used as his company ID. Those of us who receive a lot of requests for our services on the company boards become familiar with one another's IDs over time. I had no idea that his Writer ID was actually his last name until I noticed it on the book. I also confirmed it with one of the company reps in a brief email about the book last year while I was reading it.

Positive nod sent to you. ;)

I wonder what will happen to the braggarts at this forum once they no longer have anyone to pick on. There is no sense in picking on someone just because you disagree, or you consider that person a threat to your perceived exclusive client base at this forum. You people really do not work well within a free enterprise market. Everyone is a threat who must be destroyed. That is the image you deliver. I thought ES promoted networking among writers. I am rethinking that claim now. It appears that what the owners of the forum envisioned, and what b is actually happening are 2 different things. Which leads me to wonder why they are powerless to stop it.

Do not expect the writers from any writing company, not just CustomPapers, to use their real names in this line of work. They are often assigned names by the company on a monthly basis. That is to make it seem like they have more writers on staff than they actually do. The writers do not even know that the company is changing their name most of the time. They are told to leave the message for the client, but not sign a name to it. The office does its best to block any personal interaction with the writer so any traceable information is frowned upon.
