Is sunbeamsvc a scammer?

I never made any claim about numbers. I simply found search results in Google.

You can't even admit that what you did to the company was wrong. Are you suggesting that the company is OK with you having openly told customers to contact you outside of the company's system?

Maybe you should start by admitting that you were wrong for making jokes at my expense.

Both of those admissions would mean I was stupid.

This is my last response to this crazy person.

"This is not a writer of our company but an affiliate who utilizes the services of "our" development team."

What is with "them" and "their"? I thought an individual was being discussed. Is there some kind of group?

The OP's initial expressions of extreme apprehension, followed by a near-defeaning ringing endorsement of Verb's services reminds one of Charles' client fishing strategies. Remember when he used to pose as somewhat apprehensive Freelancewriter client, only to sing his praises a few posts later? Back in the day when some thought he had integrity, the strategy worked. Unfortunately for Charles/FW, the mods exposed the 'satisfied' clients as none other than Mr Integrity - Charles, aka Freelancewriter.

Question: if you are the most sought-after writer at SNR and have countless private clients (you once wrote that you were booked 2 months in advance), why are you busy angling for clients here (your signature) and on every page of essaychat? "Something's rotten in the state of Denmark," as the great bard would have undoubtedly remarked.

Verbiage: Post #41 is exactly that - verbiage, verbal garbage. As the majority who use these services know (after signing away copyright and all), these affiliates never affix our names or email addys to the Abstract or any part of the paper. ACAdemon, one of the affiliates of the company you say you work for, does not even affix our handle to any part of the papers uploaded, let alone the Abstract. Try another LOGICAL and semi-BELIEVABLE explanation, please.

Again, keep your $250.00.

These affiliates never affix our names or email addys to the Abstract or any part of the paper.

The examples in the search results were some of my papers with my original writer's notes to the client included. The affiliates did not remove or change them -- they just posted them with my writer's notes intact online for sale.

That's why my name and email address were included in these few papers (they are the same few papers indexed over and over). I did not post this information online. I submitted these assignments as normal and it was out of my hands after that -- and now it's turned into a conspiracy theory. I believe a careful review of any of the examples cited will show that they are from several years ago before we had a new writers' board and that I had permission from the company I worked with to communicate directly with these clients. I insisted all clients keep the company in the communication loop by copying them on all emails to me. These few instances were to coordinate work on larger assignments such as dissertations.

I have never contacted a client after work has been completed on an assignment to solicit business and I have never been contacted by a client after-the-fact except on two occasions 6 or 7 years ago and I informed both of these clients that they would have to go through the company.

I won't have trouble hanging onto my $250 reward because I've never poached a single client from anyone, ever, and it is tiresome to be accused of it directly and by innuendo.

I'll own up to anything wrong that I've done -- but this is not one of them. This may not be the most ethical industry around, but I am an honest writer and no one can cite a single example of me doing any of the things I'm being accused of doing because I haven't.

Affiliates always remove our names, unless you somehow game the system. You have been around for a long time and know that.

I'm finding it hard to believe that any desperate for FW's endorsements and online support is any different from him. You say you are honest. Okay? But don't birds of a feather flock together?

As such, and until proven otherwise, my comments on post 41 remain as is.

Yeah... that's the ticket. I gamed the system. A simple explanation for simple minds. I explained what happened. Believe me or not, yo?

If you have a system that's that easily gamed, then you don't have any system to speak of. If you don't want your customers to know your writers' identities, then you'd better design a system that doesn't allow for easy workarounds. Many are honest, but if you value your top and bottom lines, you'd better not make that assumption a foundation of your business model. It's not going to do you any good to come to essayscam and complain that writers, who can likely make twice as much per page on private clients, aren't being honest. I do not think that any of the writers mentioned here are "poaching" clients, and I would not do so myself. But it is a given that if you have a system subject to breaches, and you have hundreds of writers, then some will take the opportunity.

If an affiliate is careless enough to publish one or more of my papers with my name and email address in my writer's notes to a client from 5 or 10 years ago, that's not my fault. What am I supposed to do? Hunt these guys down and force them to change their online content? In truth, I don't care. I didn't even know about these until they were brought to my attention. If five of my papers out of 10,000 have my name and email address in writer's notes for the reasons I've stated and these same papers are repeated over and over as examples of my dishonesty, that's lame.

Indeed, without any proof, what you are doing is dishonest. Why don't you just call me a serial killer? Without proof of wrongdoing, accusations are easy to make and words have power.

It looks like madpapers is responsible for most of these. Contact them if you don't believe me. Jeez.

Just for the record, I've never posted my username (A. West) for any of these papers.

As the Google evidence proves, that claim is false.

Moving on . . . .

The site advertises that it has over 50,000 papers indexed. In reviewing many, many pages of the site, I see no signs of any other writer usernames or email addresses, except under seemingly rare circumstances. This tells me that the company did, indeed, put a lot of effort into removing such information from those 50,000+ papers prior to publishing. However, as someone who has done a lot of work in bulk search-and-replace editing across hundreds of text files at once, I know that it is literally impossible to do so 100% accurately or completely (even when using regex) unless the targeted text 100% conforms to a particular structure across every file. This means that if a writer in any way alters the company's disclaimer/username template's structure/lines/formatting/wording/symbols, it's possible for papers like those from ProfessorVerb to slip through the cracks, regardless of how thorough the company may have attempted to be in its cleanup efforts.

That said, there is no evidence to either prove or disprove ProfessorVerb's assertions about what his intentions were in providing his email address and telling the company's customers to contact him outside of the company's purview. Despite the fact that ProfessorVerb repeatedly made jokes at my expense (concerning issues that have been very important to me for many years, and to which I have dedicated immense time and energy), I will not compromise my integrity by outwardly claiming-without more compelling evidence-that ProfessorVerb's motives were nefarious. In fact, it is much more likely that ProfessorVerb's intentions were innocent, especially since he claims that he wrote those particular papers many years ago, probably before the company had implemented its current systems and stricter guidelines regarding precisely what a writer can and can't include in a paper.

Sorry, Verb, the evidence speaks for itself.

As for you, Essay99, I am not talking about MY system. Let's get that straight. Before you venture an opinion, I suggest that you do the following:

1) open an ACAdemon account
2) upload a paper for reselling and leave your first name initial and your last name. See if they leave it as is, or not.

Simple: try it yourself.

Yes, maybe madpapers needs a better editing system but since I am not affiliated with them, can't say. Am speaking on the basis of my very long-term knowledge of the industry.

Why are we even arguing about this amongst ourselves. I think we need to argue the issue with Google - you know - conspiracy against Verb and all that.

You see, that's the problem. You have provided no evidence, despite my reward, and just continue your attacks. What evidence?

I give up. I only joined this forum at the request of the company I work with to respond to a former writer's allegations about them. I've had some fun, but enough is enough. I'm outta here.

In response to your last post on the other thread, I thank you on behalf of all the countries which the US Armed Forces protected from countless dangers throughout the twentieth (and now the 21st) century. Were it not for the US, the world would have been a very different place. Think of WWI and II, Vietnam, Korea, the war against the Axis of Evil (terrorism), etc ... You guys played a major role in keeping my country (UK) a democracy and a nation to be proud of, not to mention your liberation of France.

We owe you, Verb, as we do every member of the US Armed Forces.

You can continue to insult me all you like

I only quoted you. I never insulted you (unless you count "sick puppy" which is not what I really wanted to say. A client contacted me about this thread today. You have libeled me. Now I'll insult you: Everything negative everyone has said about you is true. What the hell is the matter with you? By my reckoning, I've made your service more than a quarter million dollars over the past 15 years and you continue to question my integrity? I told you long ago -- you can have my dogs, wife and comic book collection. Won't you ever stop?

I will not compromise my integrity by outwardly claiming-without more compelling evidence-that ProfessorVerb's motives were nefarious.

Okay. I'm wrong. Thank you for that concession. The query from a client today about this thread made me angry and I apologize. I'm cool if you're cool.

Have just used ProfessorVerb for a large essay. After a little work to Australianise it, I was more than happy. He was considerate of my situation with poor internet connectivity and limited ability to communicate regularly. It had a low score from Turnitin and only indicated referenced quotes. I have submitted it and will post the results once I know them. For my part, I'll use him again without a hesitation.

The Aussies call it "maize." Despite $100 Aussie dollars equaling 65 cents, they are friendly and cordial and I like them.

Sorry for not posting sooner, to be honest I forgot that I said I would post my result.

67%

I've done better and I've done worse. Considering it was an American writing about Australian labour relations, I thought it was a pretty good effort.

Will definitely be calling again when I start my US foreign policy unit.

inserting their email addresses into completed orders and telling customers to contact them directly.

Can't happen. The companies are wise to this type of action from their staff writers. That is why they ask the papers to be uploaded to the server beforehand for "quality control". It isn't really quality control that is done but rather, an inspection of the paper to see if the writer had inserted his email address and done anything in the form of self advertisement within the paper. Why do I know this? I caught a few of my old writers doing this. I immediately fired the twats for trying to put one over me. Who caught them? My investigative QC staffers, who received a bonus from me for a job well done.

Sunbeamsvc AKA "Professor Verb" was known as one of the best writers in this industry. Both of us used to write for the same essay company and after we became independent writers, we provided mutual emergency backup and sometimes referred clients to one another. He retired about a year ago.

I did hear that Professor Verb had stopped writing academic essays some time in the past. I wonder why he decided to retire. He was, from what I have heard, one of the legitimate and easy to talk to academic writers who valued quality over money. I guess he came into a windfall and decided to rest his weary brain. Academic writing is no joke specially if you are of an advanced age already. I guess he knew when to quit and just enjoy the rest of his life. I hope he is doing well in retirement. He is lucky that he no longer has to worry about how AI will affect the human side of the academic writing industry.

PV didn't suddenly retire; he planned his retirement years in advance, and he referred most of his clients to me.
