"tailored fit to your needs"
"no student database for plagiarism check"
"We strongly advise students not to avail writing services from companies"


Not terrible, but the web copy reads like ESL to me. I wouldn't send them any money if I were in your shoes and wanted a decent paper.

That was my thought immediately but I still thought to give this forum a try because I could have been reading too much into it. Is there anywhere on this forum that one could recommend a good writing site or at least PM me information?

Thank you so much. Guess I should just get on the ball and write these papers myself. It is such a headache though.

Assistant WriterDeception?

I don't think they stated that they were from the US or UK.

They also mentioned that their writers were from all over the world.

I guess the only thing they didn't mention was who owned the site.

As for "deliberately" trying to deceive others, I don't see it.

Now, the price they offer is another matter altogether! It's just too low!

They won't get any decent writers for that price. Which probably means that they won't turn in "quality" papers.

@collegekid2009: pheelyks is right. You shouldn't pay any money until you see the end result.

They should have registered thewritingassistant.ph.

They cater to primarily American consumers without acknowledging the ESL nature of the site and its writers.

They promote themselves primarily in US search engines without acknowledging their location in the Philippines.

Bulls-i*: "The writers at The Writing Assistant are all college educated and hold a PhD in their respective fields."

For the rates they charge, there is no way in hell they they employ American writers, let alone American writers with PhD degrees.

Nah! Not really. I have a (dot)com site (not related to writing). It helps with the search engines. I don't think this was part of the deception... if ever there was one.

They cater to primarily American consumers without acknowledging the ESL nature of the site and its writers.

Okay. They don't. Although, to the trained eye, it is definitely ESL.

There's nothing wrong with promoting on US search engines. Also, anybody who searches for their site on Google will find out that they are from the Philippines. But yes... NOT ACKNOWLEDGING that they are from the Philippines does look somewhat deceptive.

The writers at The Writing Assistant are all college educated and hold a PhD in their respective fields."

College educated in the Philippines? Probably. PhD (even in the Philippines)? Definitely not!

For the rates they charge, there is no way in hell they they employ American writers, let alone American writers with PhD degrees.

ABSOLUTELY!!!

The key to my reasoning on all issues is that I put myself in the shoes of a prospective client who has absolutely no idea about the level of deception in the industry.

Accordingly, I will now place myself in the shoes of a Filipino student in the Philippines who is seeking help with a Tagalog-language essay on "Filipino Culture."

If an American were to purchase a .ph domain related to "Filipino essay writing" (despite an utter lack of qualified, Filipino writers) and market the site directly to Filipino consumers, while conveniently neglecting to mention that nothing about his/her site or his/her writers is native Filipino (native Tagalog-speaking), would he/she not be a fraud?

Location and culture are irrelevant if one is selling shoes or lightbulbs, but not if one is selling language- and culture-specific writing services.

WB, all I am saying is that (dot)coms and (dot)nets are "generic". All nationalities use them. The (dot)ph is specific to the Philippines; just like the (dot)uk is specific to the UK. I'm not sure if there is a (dot)us domain.

In your example, I agree that if someone in the US used a (dot)ph domain to sell Filipino essays, it could be interpreted as fraud. However, since (dot)coms are generic and not exclusively a US domain, then it is still difficult for me to understand how this contributes to the fraud.

Other than that, however, I do see your point about the site being somewhat "deceptive".

It is such a headache though.

It doesn't have to be. You can actually five a basic researcher to just gather the usable information for you. This leaves you free to write the paper personally, while skipping the headache part. However, you will still need to sort the data for whatyou wish touse , and what to discard.

Well, this domain name has not been connected with a writing company since October 2018. My guess is that the company went out of business long before that time. The domain name registration for the writing company was allowed to lapse. It was picked up by some landscaping company at the aforementioned time. So another incompetent website bit the dust. Good for the students, bad for the writers. Usually, companies that do not merge with others end up closing up and not paying the writers their salaries earned up till closing time. Niether were the writers informed about the pending closure. Anyway, I thought I would just point out the company closure so that the readers of this thread will know that is is not an active company consideration at this point.
