So who is NOT a Scam? (reliable writers question)

Of all the threads about scammers, it's hard to keep track of who is not a scammer. Can you guys give a list of sites that are not scammers and provide good quality work? It's difficult to find one when these threads are about who to avoid, rather than who to go to.

I'm looking for a writer to write a term paper on economics for undergraduate (3rd year university). If you guys know of any GOOD and RELIABLE writers, can you please post here and let me know?

I've heard that thessayist is decent but apparently they don't have anyone who can write economics paper?

Thanks!

Reliable TutorAdvertising is not allowed. A shi$torm would swiftly ensue if it were, considering some of the members here have a clear 'allegiance' to one site or another and no one's unfounded 'good opinion' is to be trusted. You'll find a lot of people try to talk up their own companies to get clients (some of them may actually own some of the sites in question and for this reason are likely to be biased and may lie in order to appear 'legit' to prospective customers seeking their services).

With so much personal agenda filling this forum's virtual atmosphere, the best thing to believe when looking into a site's integrity and reliability would not be the 'personal experience' of 'satisfied customers' (roflmao :D yeah right ...) but objective facts about the company: Have they been honestly proven unreliable before with strong evidence? Look at the sources and how honest they are too, people can throw links around to supposedly badmouth companies at times that actually prove nothing at all.

Where are the rules? This forum is diff than the normal forums i'm used to ...

The disclaimer explains some things about advertising (more specifically, how it is prohibited in the forum) and how seriously posts from users are to be taken as well (consider all of it subjective if there isn't any evidence). So basically a list of 'reliable' essay sites would be subjective without a doubt and users promoting websites are seen as advertising.

If you're worried about being dissatisfied with the quality of writing etc. perhaps order a sample report first (of just a couple of pages) and if it looks satisfactory then go for the whole thing? I think that's what another forum member suggested in this case and it seems the best bet. Good luck! :)

So who is NOT a Scam?

Alas, this question applies to every aspect of human interactions. With respect to online writing services, I would recommend a small transaction at first to confirm delivery and quality, but otherwise it's a crap shoot. Good luck.

WTF. I genuinely have used this person, and I am not Helen (and could even send proof) , I was genuinely trying to help but that's fine, I am happy just to use her myself because it would suck if she got too busy LOL

The thing is, advertisements aren't allowed here, and posting her contact information (or trying to) makes it an advertisement. You can do that on EssayChat.

Remember this board is all about bad mouthing people/companies.

The moment you try to recommend someone you are evil and the company is evil, and everyone turns on you.

The people who bash companies can not be trusted either because it is likely they are going overboard and being overly dramatic.

So the reality is you can not trust the good reviews or the bad reviews.

Today, in the age of information (most of which is crap) basic research skills is a prerequisite when you sit at your computer. You should know how to find out what you're looking for. That's it.

While it's impossible to know for sure, I think at least sometimes the "bashing" is entirely true. There are a lot of unscrupulous companies and writers out there that will say almost anything to get students' money.

yes and no.

I agree it is a shady industry, and especially those off shore companies that just change their name nightly can be "iffy". But there are a lot of good companies that are not a scam, and someone will come on here and bash them freely, it's B/S really. I have seen at least 4 companies being bashed on here that I know are not bad.
JohnsMom  - | 266

yes and no.

I made a factual statement; you can't have it both ways. Either there are a lot of unscrupulous companies and writers willing to lie (by promising to deliver a product/quality level they know they can't) or there aren't.

it is a shady industry

We can help clean up our image. See my post on a national association.
JohnsMom  - | 266  
Oct 17, 2012 | #17
I don't think a national association would help at all--students would have to know about the association, there would have to be fees paid by companies to support quality/complaint investigations, and the whole thing would turn into a new way for certain companies/individuals to make a profit.

I never said there weren't any. I think it is a very fragmented industry and you can not put everyone in the same basket.

There are the shady off shore companies that change their name every night, and steal money.

And there are normal companies that do this for a living and just because a few people had mis-understandings does not make them scammers.

It is fragmented.

You have to be able to tell who are the real ones and who are not.

There are many shady companies that have kept the same names for years. When the customer pool changes on an almost constant basis, it's easy to be a scammer in this industry.

You have to be able to tell who are the real ones and who are not.

Yes....isn't that the entire point of this thread?

For a second I thought there was a serious discussion happening here...

I'll rule you out as a vice president then ...

In a broad sense, the argument could be made that academic writers are also "information brokers":

"An information broker, also known as an independent information professional or information consultant, is a person or business that researches information for clients. Common uses for information brokers include market research and patent searches, but can include practically any type of information research. A Master's degree in library science (M.L.S.) or in library and information science (M.L.I.S.) is preferred or the norm. However, these prerequisites aren't always necessary. Some brokers have a master's or PH.D in law, social sciences or liberal arts."

There is also an aiip.org - Association of Independent Information Professionals.

Who isn't a scam is all dependent on the working relationship that you have with the writer or company that you hired to write your paper. The first order that you place with a writer or a company is always based on a wing and a prayer. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst as they say. Not all of the writers who advertise their services, nor the companies that pay to advertise here are scam artists. In fact, EssayScam now says that all of the paid advertisements on this forum is guaranteed to be 100% scam free. Their vetting techniques apparently have been working well over time so, if you pluck a writer from this forum, who pays to be here and highlighted in the services and EssayBrand.com section, then you are almost sure to have an excellent working experience with that writer. So I suggest that you based your hiring of your writer on that criteria. Hey, at least the writer has been pre-vetted for you and there will be consequences for any con artist who tries to put one over a student based on the advertising on this forum. So you at least can trust in EssayScam criteria for advertising and be confident that you are hiring someone "on the level".

While I will agree that the writers and companies recommended indirectly by this forum do have a higher trust scoring among the clients, I would not go so far as to say that they are not completely scams. Without pointing any fingers here, there could be instances when writers / companies and clients have a miscommunication and this results in a cancellation of the order. The client then comes to this forum to discredit the said writer by shouting "SCAM!!!" to the high heavens. This in turn negatively affects the writer's or the company's reputation. The writers then have to fight for the retention of their untarnished reputation all because a simple issue was blown out of proportion. Sometimes, I believe that what are called scams are just instances when arguments regarding content or payment veer into the shouting stage where no one is listening to the other anymore and it becomes easier to just call the deal a "Scam".

There is a big difference between an issue that arises from miscommunication or an error versus an outright scam. To me, the scammers are those (companies and freelancers) who portray themselves as something they aren't. For instance, claiming to be a US-based company all the while using IP proxies to mask where they're really located. Some claim to have native English-speaking writers when 99% of their contracted writers are from Kenya (not bashing Kenya, just stating the facts).

It's sad that most comments and reviews about a company or writer come from angry clients, but that is a fact in all industries. Anger will spark action quickest. Sad, but true. When a client is happy, that is great, but very few take the time to share their good news.

True, but once in a while, they do. The poster, notsotypicalblonde, above was actually a genuine student who was one of them. I believe she stopped using me after a few projects because she found someone cheaper, and she also left positive feedback (and a contact email that was removed by the moderators) for that other writer, as well, before that writer (I believe) ended up letting her down subsequently, about which she also posted elsewhere on this forum. (It's also possible that the writer who let her down was the first writer she tried before me and not the person she used afterwards, but I don't know.)

When dealing with the unknown, in this case, writers, it is best to assume that the writer is a scam, until otherwise proven. That way, if the deal turns sour, you could give yourself a swift kick in the pants. If the deal turns out fine, then the writer wasn't a scammer. You really cannot tell immediately in this case. You need to have time, exposure, and experience with the writer to determine whether he's a scam or not. Just make sure to vet the writer you plan to hire carefully. Try to develop your own interview questions that will help you gain a better sense of confidence in hiring the person. I always tell the students who hire bad actors in this field; "Well, you need to make a mistake at least once to learn your lesson." Granted it is an expensive lesson, but all lessons come at a price right?

Unless you're dealing with a writer recommended by someone you know personally, you can't ever really be sure until you try out a given writer for yourself. Just minimize your risk by ordering something very small before you trust someone with a large payment.

The one thing good that came out of the Covid-19 pandemic and the rise of academic AI writing is that the scam companies faded away. They died because they could not keep up with the need for money that their scams required. As such, they were unable to keep their businesses open. After the pandemic, the scam companies that survived still managed to stay in the game. Ai was the one that eventually stopped them from scamming students. Since the students could get AI to write (bad) academic essays for them, they no longer felt the need to look for writing companies. Some students these days, who still prefer human writers, stick to direct hiring of independent writers instead. There are still a few scam companies out there but I trust that those will be gone by the end of this decade.
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.

I'd say probably much closer to the end of next year.
