I Got Scammed by Custom Writings.

Hello.

Well no Doubt I'm new here to this industry LOL. I'm just stating a masters in International Economics and Finance. In one of the best Universities of the world ( Times University Ranking). I decided to buy one essay because right now I have so much work to do that I cant even go out.

After researching on google but before finding this website I made the mistake of ordering the essay on customwritings.com yesterday I got the piece of crap they sent. Fully plagiarized the English level was ridiculously low even I can write better essays!!

They charged me 220 USD for 3600 words (wasted money) and I ended up paying 437USD more in one other website (Legit this time) to get my work done but this one worth it because I got 36 out of 40.

I wish i have found this website before, I would at least know which service not to use.
If anyone read this please don't go there. The website is really nice but they are nothing but scammers trying to lure you to get your money. I'm currently trying to get at least some of my money back.

Thank you for reading!

Very upsetting to hear this.
Gfeitosa what was your order ID?

(i'm the current owner of customwritings)

I am absolutely sure you have your money returned already (unless you accepted the paper PDF preview, which i doubt)

Is this so?

How dare you spoil my mood any further?

Gfeitosa, what was your order ID please?

WritersBeware, you're seeking war, not love, and this is completely wrong.

I may be either scared to death or rolling on the floor laughing, but my evidence is true. You are agressive both in your essense and your style. There is no truth which you protect. This makes you hollow inside.

I am personal now, don't you see? Do what you must.

Bang bang you shot me down... bang bang, I hit the ground... bang bang... Have a good night.

P.S.
Bang! One is down. Reload. Bang! Another. Bullet's eye. Reload. Stop this. It's not an action movie. Not a computer game. Even if you're really capable of doing harm to anyone, and will eventually succeed, your manner is flawed. And this will not bring any satisfaction into your life.

One can only hope.

Where do I begin... to tell the story...

Please tell the story; the story of unqualified, uneducated writers; or how the story of customers being drawn in by false promises and completely untruthful ad claims?

This is an open message to cybermediaboy.

I used your services about a month ago, and actually got a good product. For a second assignment, I decided to use your services again. This is where things went totally wrong.

The product I got was horrible. I would like to call your attention to order# 2094879. Yes, I accepted the MS Word version, but this was only after several weak attempts by your writer, and I had no choice but to turn something in. I ended up with a D on a paper, which I actually had 45 minutes to touch up to get to that point. Again, I had to turn SOMETHING in, because a zero in any course would be unrecoverable.

Since that time I have been going back and forth with your staff. I have asked on numerous occassions to speak to the owner, and get denied. I paid $160 for a late, weak product that got me a D. Offering me a 5% discount on the next paper and a $10 refund does not come close to customer service.

I ask that you look into this matter and give me a refund. If not, I will proceed to do what I have said I would do in the exchanges with your staff. I am not a young college kid who you can take advantage of. I am a professional, with many resources.

I shall await your response before taking further actions.

Steve

I am a professional, with many resources.

Unfortunately, not really, unless you want to go public with the fact that you turned in someone else's work as your own. Keep hounding them (and going through your credit card company) and you might have a chance, or wait until you've finished your degree, or do something else illegal to destroy the company (yay!), but legal threats don't work.

As to your getting a good paper the first time, you got lucky. I used to write for this company; my customers also got good orders. The pay was crap and they tried to fine me for ridiculous non-issues all the time, so I left. So do all of their other good writers. Your first paper was the exception, our second is the rule.
Steve8874  - | 5  
Oct 13, 2009 | #18
Pheelyks, I am not making legal threats. Is cybermedia boy the owner of this company? If he is, he can look up my order number and see the case history and reply. If no action is taken then I will do what I said in the exchanges with his staff. If he is the owner, then he will see what I am referring to. I do not want to slander them on blogs unless I have to.
pheelyks  
Oct 13, 2009 | #19
He is the owner (or at least claims to be here...I have no idea if that's a valid claim, but I don't know why anyone would associate themselves with the site voluntarily). I also was not warning against slander (or is it libel on a blog?); frankly, you can say whatever you want here, and the mods will take it down if they smell legal trouble. But as there is ample evidence that this company is a fraud, with outright liars at the helm, there's little worry of that.

I was more curious about what you actually plan to do. I understand that posting that here might be tipping your hand, but I personally would love to see these b--s fry.
WritersBeware

slander

Verbal.

libel

Written/published.

I understand that posting that here might be tipping your hand, but I personally would love to see these b---s fry.

Yeah, so would I, especially since Eunuch (oops, "Eugene") has deemed it wise to challenge me to get his sites banned from Google.
pheelyks  
Oct 13, 2009 | #21
I know the difference between slander and libel, and it definitely seems like a blog/forum would count as the latter, but given the ease of "publishing," I wasn't sure how the law viewed this (or if they make any differentiation between online text and an article in, say, The New York Times).

Then there's also the issue of television news; it's spoken, but it reaches an audience in the way that only printed text could when these laws were first written. It's a curious subject.
Steve8874  - | 5  
Oct 13, 2009 | #22
Yes, I do not want to put too much information out at this time. I want to allow Customwritings.com to the chance to make proper restitution. If it does not, I am prepared to put full details out here, in addition to other methods that I have explained in my exchanges with the support team.

It is not considered slander/libel if it is factual.

I am still awaiting a reply by cybermediaboy. I paid for this on paypal, and have filed a dispute there.

In all honesty, it is not about the money at all. It is the principle that has my heels dug in deep.

Steve, I don't get it. Principle? You paid another person to write a paper that you should have written yourself. Then, you passed it off as your own. How can you talk about principle? It would have been better if you just said that it was about the money.

I don't know much about the essay writing industry. I write for a totally different industry. So, maybe, you can explain to me how this is a moral issue and how you can start claiming the "high ground".

Ok, fine. I am not here to get into a morals/ethics debate. I am offering the chance for Customwritings.com to resolve this matter. I do not want to fuel the fire here anymore the needed against the owner.

I have asked cybermediaboy, Eugene, to respond. I will await his response, or 36 hours before I post again.

Good. But you should've thought about that before you took the moral high ground. Anyway, this is the last you'll read about it from me.

Asian Writer - I get where you are coming from; you have a valid point and I am not going to argue against it (as you are right).

Yes, Steve should never have submitted the paper as his own but that neither excuses nor justifies customwritings' actions. He paid for a professional piece of research and what did he get? The usual crappy work which Eugene's websites provide. At the very least, he deserves a refund, don't you think?

Eugene - even if you refund him at this point, it means zilch. The bottom line is
1) if you refund him, you are only doing so because you want him to get the hell out of this forum;
2) he should never have been provided with D-quality work in the first place.

Eugene, you go on and on about how this forum is trashing your `good' name but the fact is that both customers and writers are complaining. Your websites provide a horrible service and, say what you will, your writers are awful.

I agree that Steve should get his money back. He paid for a service and should get what he paid for. I just didn't like how he took the moral high ground.

Hey Eugene! Pay the guy back his money! Prove to us that you're not the "thief" we think you are.

The papers you gave to me where both terrible plagiarized copies. Didn't
even passed a basic check and there is many terrible mistakes like (As a
matter of fact, India was the first nation to embrace basic elements of
globalization in the 17th century. British east India company, Portuguese
east India Company and Dutch east India companies). The English is very bad
as well.
I want to ask for refund.
If I don't get it.
I'm also opening a dispute on paypal where I will add the essayscam.com
complains to the claim.

The only interesting thing to come out of this thread thus far is the slander / libel question. I too am unsure which applies to a casual blog that doesn't disseminate "news" per se.

We are writing as much as 85 pieces a day and yes sometimes the writers fail to do their job. You can see the exact statistics of our failures on www.customwritings.com, just look for the section that says:

Current status / activity:
4 chat / phone operators online at the moment;
1232 writers active;
4086 writers in the database;
4 new writers passed exam this week;
584842 pages written;
8.5 out of 10 current average quality score;
3% refunds requested by customers due to unsatisfactory work;

Last two are updated every 15 seconds according to the forms that every customer completes upon the receipt of their sample paper.

Another sections says that THE CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE REWORKING THE PIECES THEY RECEIVE, and NEVER ACCEPT THE PAPER IF THEY ARE DISSATISFIED.

Steven I will see that you receive a full refund even though you should never accepted the pdf preview. Sorry for the writer you got.

WritersBeware, any luck getting me out of google? Just curious about your progress in this.

You know i'm not completely happy about 8.5 out of 10 average customer satisfaction score, to tell the truth. There's a risk to every customer that he/she's going to be given something different from what they expect. Some of these due to bad writers work, some to bad customer's input, some to miscommunication between the writers, customers and the support team.

And yes, I finally know for sure which of our rivals this forum belongs to. And this is not *********.com as I suspected before.

....

The common mistake people do here is they judge from 6 complaints out of more then half a million pages written for the happy customers, that our web site is fraud.

This is the whole idea behind essayscam. You come here, see several scary threads and make a conclusion.

HAvent posted here for ages, have a nice day everyone.

My suggestions for the potential customers:

- Leave some significant time frame for possible revisions
- request Progressive Delivery option while this feature is still free (you can get the paper in several smaller parts so if there's a problem you will know of it very fast instead of several hours before the deadline)

- help the writers with the materials if you can

Cybermedia-hole--

Your writers suck and you know it. Anyone interested in ordering from this site should check out gradelancer.com. It's the writer's forum for this company, where discussions of the weather in Pakistan in broken English are frequent occurrences. These are people who haven't earned college degrees at all, by and large, and certainly didn't do so in an English speaking country. Not that there would be anything wrong with this, if they were selling English language academic papers.
