Has anyone used this website? It definitely looks more legit then some of the others, but you never really can tell these days. I was just hoping anyone here may have used it or heard of someone using it with positive (or negative) results.

From their FAQ page:

Will my teacher find out?

No, as stated above, your teacher "finding out" is impossible. And if there are certain limitations or style issues with your way of writing, we are willing to work with you to come up with a paper that fits your personality and that your teacher will not think twice about.

The answer clearly suggest they are in the business of helping students cheat the system (rather than helping them start their own, original research). In result, their operations are illegal.

Hi, I'm Don with TermPaperCustom. Feel free to email me for verification.

We hear a lot from customers about other services that have ripped them off. W have been around for over eight years, and have helped over a thousand customers in their academic careers. We put up a phone number so you can talk to us and hear we are not just another cut rate overseas paper mill.

What we do is completely legal. We are ghost writers, and operate completely within the law. If you are aware of a single law we may be violating, please feel free to bring it to my attention, however I do not anticipate you will find any. We create original written works for our customers, and nothing more.

Don, you're both a spammer AND a liar.

From termpapercustom.com/about.html :

Why do you need my contact information and the names of my course/school?
Credit card payments can not be processed without proper billing information. School and course names are important because we tailor your paper to your needs, and your school and course are an important part of the requirements of your paper.


A student's course/school has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with billing information (unless the student's billing address is his/her SCHOOL, which we all know is not the case). The only reason to require such information is to be able to hold it over a customer's head in the event of a conflict or disagreement with your company.

If you are aware of a single law we may be violating, please feel free to bring it to my attention, however I do not anticipate you will find any.

You are obviously clueless about the well-known laws that govern your profession. Ignorance is not a legal defense.

Writers2beware: I'm neither. The TermPaperCustom.com domain was registered in 2010, but we have been writing papers for customers since 2005. Prior to the TPC domain we had another domain that went with a former partner when she left. Before we created our custom order system in 2007 we used email to handle orders. In fact, here's a screenshot of the oldest order in our order processing system: imgur.com/6BU1DYB Note the date of May 2007. Businesses can be older than their domain names.

As for being a spammer, I saw our site talked about here, and simply refuted your claims. As for laws, I'm actually quite aware of the laws regarding this industry. Being in it means one MUST be aware of the legal environment. As you stated, ignorance of the law is no excuse. As in my years of being in this business I have yet to find such laws in my research, perhaps you'd like to back up your claim?

As it states in the text you quoted, the course/school information helps us tailor the paper to the class. If a customer is uncomfortable with that, then we let them not enter that data, which defeats the purpose of being able to "hold it over their heads". We have a custom written order processing system that includes a messaging capability, so that we have everything about the order in writing. This eliminates the "conflict" portion, as no one (not the customer, and not us) can claim something was said that wasn't.

I really have no idea why you're so hostile towards me. I'm one of the most honest people in this business. We offer a product of high quality, and we're certainly not liars. You may not like what we do, but we're honest about it.

Are you saying that there are laws, or that there are not laws?

There are laws about everything, but none making this line of work illegal. The most pertinent laws would be relating to identify theft/fraud and copyright. As far as copyright goes, we're work for hire, and the customers own the work once its done. Identify fraud only comes into play if we were to perform in person tests or classes, and pretend to be that person, which we do not do.

Rather than trying to play "gotcha" why not just tell me what laws you feel I'm breaking?

Before I embarrass you with the evidence and facts, would you like to state-one more time-that I am wrong? You know, just to reiterate how certain you are . . . .

By the way, do you provide the same level of "research" to your customers that you've dedicated to the laws that govern your industry?

As it states in the text you quoted, the course/school information helps us tailor the paper to the class.

You're full of s-i*. You're not fooling anyone here. You specifically state on your site that you need course/school information for BILLING PURPOSES.

A student's course/school has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with billing information (unless the student's billing address is his/her SCHOOL, which we all know is not the case).

I can't help but notice that you conveniently ignored that matter.

I really have no idea why you're so hostile towards me.

I don't like liars. I dislike even more any liar who gets caught in the act and then denies.

I didn't ignore it. I replied directly to it when I said

which defeats the purpose of being able to "hold it over their heads".

Read the FAQ you keep posting. The question is a two parter. "Why do you need my contact information and the names of my course/school?" We then answer those in order. Billing (because believe it or not we've had people try to use stolen credit card data to buy papers) and the course/school info for the customization of the paper. Two parts to the question, two parts to the answer. One example is a current customer who is going to a very religious school, so that customer's history and literature papers have a strong religious bend to them.

I'm not a liar, and I'm trying to engage with you civilly, but you're very hostile. I'm simply trying to address your comments, but you keep trying to play gotcha with me, and I fail to see why. I even stated earlier, when we have customers who are uncomfortable with that information being given out, they don't have to share it. We tell them to just put Xs in that area. It helps us, but it's not a deal breaker.

You stated we need it to have leverage on people. We require papers be paid up front so that we don't pay writers only to have them cancel at the last moment. The vast majority of people understand this, and have no problem with it. We simply don't deal with the rest. If they're unhappy with a paper, we offer revisions, credits toward future orders, and two months ago I even refunded a woman her fee. If we can't make them happy, we simply part ways. As such, there's no need for us to have leverage over customers for any reason. I don't know who you dealt with in the past that gave you such a deep mistrust but it wasn't us, and I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. Not everyone is like whoever you dealt with.

I read quite well, thanks. I read so well, in fact, that I was immediately able to see right through your deceptive attempt to convince customers that your "school/course" requirement is justified.

You are CLEARLY suggesting to people that you need their school/course info for billing purposes. Either you're a fraud or your skills in the written word are lacking. I believe that if you were being honest, you would have split your "two-parter" into two completely separates sets of questions and answers. AGAIN, SCHOOL/COURSE INFO HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH BILLING, SO DON'T MISLEAD CUSTOMERS.

I even stated earlier, when we have customers who are uncomfortable with that information being given out, they don't have to share it.

Why, then, do you not openly state that information as part of your justification for demanding school/course info?

. . . there's no need for us to have leverage over customers for any reason.

Yawn. Customer pays in advance. Customer doesn't like the paper, for whatever reason. Customer demands a refund. You offer an edit instead. Customer accepts or declines; either way, he/she is still unhappy. Customer demands refund again. You decline. Customer threatens chargeback. You remind customer-in so many words-that you have his/her school and course information.

Well, i think it's clear. I'm sorry you disagree. I'll take your polite suggestion taht it be rewritten under consideration, however no one so far has found it confusing.

We don't use anything against our customers, that would be suicide. You clearly have a chip on your shoulder, and I'm unlikely to solve that. I'm sorry we couldn't find civil common ground.

In a literal sense, I think Don is right and that it is a two-parter, with the answers given in turn. I did not exactly take it to mean that school information is needed in order to process payment.

However, the Q&A does conflate the two issues. I can definitely see how students, many of whom are ESL and don't read as well as I do, would get the impression that if they don't put the name of their school, they won't be able to place an order. The absolute most generous explanation I can think of is that the writer of the Q&A was artless. Otherwise, I'd strongly suspect disingenuousness.

As to knowing the school and course: To me as a writer, it's often helpful to know the type of school, because expectations can be so different at upper tier vs. community college vs. online proprietary. In fact, that's all you need to ask: "What type of school are you attending?" perhaps followed by "What type of class are you taking?" The name of the school is irrelevant.

This information you're collecting about the school and the course, are you passing it along to the writer? Because otherwise, I have a hard time seeing how it would benefit the paper.

That is correct, but I'm focusing on what I believe to be an obvious attempt to deceive and justify an inexcusable demand.

Remember, we're talking about a guy who has falsely claimed that his copy is not violating any laws. In fact, he's gone so far as to claim that no applicable laws exist! (Never mind the fact that one can find such laws in 10 seconds with a simple search in Google AND I have posted the laws multiple times in this forum.) His reckless practices endanger the entire academic research industry.

The name of the school is irrelevant.

Bingo.

We are ghost writers, and operate completely within the law.

You know this is BS. You are helping students work the system. You even offer to write in their manner just so the teacher will not find out. Well, guess what? The teachers have ways of finding out when a paper is not written by the student, regardless of how well the ghost writer penned the paper. Stop trying to deceive students. You do not operate within the academic laws of universities. You probably do not work within the legal framework of businesses either. You are not a good company to deal with because you are not helping students but rather, endangering their chances of finishing their studies at whatever level they might be.

Well, the company most certainly was not functioning in any legal manner. That is the assumption that one can come to since the online company has been shut down since it was last spoken of in this thread. Checking on the website url today, I found out that the company no longer owns the domain name and the files have been taken down from the host server, but not disconnected from the internet handshakes.

The fact that the url is still connected to the internet is what worries me. The same url could eventually be revived, this time in connection with a new company name taking its place. The old name then becoming an affiliate of the new company. I would not trust these people to not do that. They have everything to gain from using several url's in this business.
