Unemployed professors help clean up mess, please.

Finally got my paper from unemployedprofessors.com. I got it later than when he said it would be done by. Anyways, the quality is crap. There is some fancy words used here and there but the content is... I don't know what to say. I wasn't even looking for an A. I just wanted something like a solid B or even a C+ would've been acceptable. It is suppose to be a research proposal. The person purposed something that was already done. He copied the idea from one of the cited piece. Like use some effort man. Jeez. I haven't paid him yet and I have asked about the blatant plagiarism. What should I do now? Should I ask someone else and just take it as a pricy lesson? Should I keep asking him to fix it?

Update from writer and he sorta convinced me it's not copied. He was passive aggressive so I just accepted it and paid him. What's the point of arguing online anyways. I do believe it was original work, I justthink it was lacking in novel ideas. For a review, I would say this ain't a scam but don't think you will get an A either. I'm gonna update after I get my grade back. Maybe I will get an A, who knows. Maybe he does know better than me.

"Free Ukraine!"

I share your sentiment. I also hope that Ukraine then quickly joins the EU. That way, we can end the lawlessness of Ukrainian essay site owners who lie, cheat, steal, and hack.

Your ignorance is nauseating, as it has always been.
That you assume mere EU membership would scare off determined entrepreneurs speaks highly of your ignorance and its attendant idiocy.

So, Mrs Essay Granny, can you speed up UKraine's EU membership ?
Seriously, don't you ever pity yourself, seeing that you spend your whole life chasing non existent 'frauds'?
Look, all the students you've claimed to have helped are now firmly on the top rungs of corporate ladder whilst you spend your whole days sitting down and chasing ghosts.

Are you sad, WritersBi.tchware?
Do you feel like ending it all?
Are you aware that, to the American public, you come out as a shady piece of shi.t that helps in debasing the educational system?

Can't you get something more honorable to do with your pitiful life full of delusions, hallucinations and misery?
You feel good helping students cheat the system 'legally', right, nutcase?

Also "Professor-Chaos" from unemployedprofessors.com ID=887 is a total scam - I just wasted three weeks + my resources.

FWIW I write for Unemployed and pride myself in never pulling the BS I keep hearing about from many of their writers, including (shockingly) some of the established ones.

Here are my reviews: unemployedprofessors/professorreviews.aspx?id=2070

Compare them to literally any other writer on the site. Key difference: no negative reviews for me, because I don't mess around.

Do you seriously think students are that stupid that they would believe the 'unemployed professors' marketing ploy? You are no 'professor' and most of the reviews are fake. These days, the more 'reviews' an essay service has, the more fraudulent it seems to be.

Professor MessOkie doke! I understand why you would believe UP's reviews are fake, given the state of the industry, but I worked for every single one of them. I started on the site with zero reviews, did a ton of jobs, and got a ton of reviews.

The site's name is figurative -- most of us burned out, dropped out, or are under-employed.

But your question doesn't really make sense. It would make sense if it was a brand new site trying to get one over on the wise people of the internet. The site has lots of new clients every day, and lots of happy clients that constantly return because they got what was promised. What is stupid about that?

P.S. The reviews aren't for the site, they're for the writers.

Go look at any of the profiles, click to see reviews. Plenty of negative reviews, because they're real.

Big difference between that and the stream of nonsense posted by scam sites.

Right.. figurative.. just like the fake reviews (how many of them did you edit?). It's like setting up a website: FormerBodybuilders.com and when asking when was the last time you lift weights you answer: "Never, it's all about figurative expression."

What is stupid about that?

Deception. You may not call it 'stupid' but you can surely call it deceptive and fraudulent, wouldn't you.

Homie, I didn't name the site. I get what you're saying, but you're just being aggressive.

It's literally staffed by people with advanced degrees, lol. Don't know what else to tell you. They vetted me by matching my email address to the author email listed in a PDF of my published article. Why would I have the power to edit reviews on a site I freelance for and don't own? And if I were an owner promoting the site, as I think you're implying, why would I start off by criticizing it for keeping crappy/lazy writers who (rightly) earn bad reviews?

I am a person who writes essays, putting my name out there. I don't need you to believe me; I will be fine either way.

I'm beginning to realize that THIS site is built to lash out at anyone defending services other than the ones on the (very short) "recommended" lists. The paranoia is INTENSE! Gosh I hate the internet sometimes.

Don't know what else to tell you.

Tell it like it is, ie. don't talk in the name of 'people' (unless you have multiple fake accounts there).

They vetted me by matching my email address to the author email listed in a PDF of my published article.

Wow, a PDF.. if it's a PDF (which can be made out of a .txt document for free within seconds), then it must be legit.. not. Anybody can publish an article in a PDF document within minutes (that's what fraudulent writers from Kenya etc. actually do).

why would I start off by criticizing it for keeping crappy/lazy writers who (rightly) earn bad reviews?

Because nobody cares about the reviews any more (plus only someone close to the site would know they keep crappy/lazy writers - are you working for their HR email or something?).

Nah, I know because I read the other writers' reviews, silly.

Ummm... it was a real PDF from a real academic journal that exists. And it had my name and email in the author bio.

Like seriously, why are you so paranoid?

I naively thought this was a forum site for students and freelancers to interact. It's clearly marketing to smear any site other than the "recommended" ones. Hilarious. And I'm not even defending the site, I'm defending my own work. Most of UP's writers have a bunch of negative reviews, because they do a poor job. Not me.

Just read the real reviews posted years ago on this forum by real customers. You first lied when you said you first encountered this site just recently (when in fact you must have been here years ago). You came here to spam and when you realized you're not dealing with 'lazy and stupid students' (as you call them on your site), you came up with paranoid claims and excuses.

Why do you think I was here years ago? Seriously why are you being so abusive?

I am not the owner of the site. That's a guy named Astor who lives in Canada. I'm in Pennsylvania, making a living by using the skills I honed in grad school. I found this site TODAY and am posting in good faith. Again, what did I do to deserve these accusations?

We're just a group of fluffy unicorns who have the combined IQ of a school of fish. The point is, Major and most other "senior citizens" here saw, heard and debated many people who claimed good faith and intentions. We're all addicted to coffee, have squinty eyes and high levels of cynicism.

Ok... I actually appreciate your response, Wordsies. The accusations in the other posts just aren't logical.

Here's why I'm definitely an ex-academic writer and not an entrepreneur who would create a site and then come troll a board for exposure: I can't handle the abuse. Seriously too rich for my blood.

Y'all take care, I'm gonna go be literally anywhere else. Have fun with your... whatever this is.

Strangely enough, I came here once too, completely fresh. However, I never went through any "abuse." Could it be because I try to be honest and respective of a) my clients, b) my competitors and c) of the companies I work for (in other words, I don't talk **** about them)?
ProfCrisis  - | 37     Freelance Writer

Lol, now the problem is that I was trash talking the site I work at (which I absolutely wasn't in any way)? Sorry, I'm getting dizzy. I thought the problem was that I was promoting "my" website. Which is it?

And it's "respectful," not "respective," Mr. Writer.

As I've said, I have no clue (or interest for that matter) if you're the owner. I just find it funny you'd join just to "observe" a fact that has been known to us for years - you could've just used the search function, the site was discussed at length. The fact that you chose to focus on the negatives is strange, but I guess it could be an elaborate ploy to make us think you're actually legit. Who knows.

As for the typo, yeah, it's late, been writing all day, it happens.
ProfCrisis  - | 37     Freelance Writer
Sep 24, 2017 | #21
Obviously I used the search function, as the front page encouraged me to. And I wasn't emphasizing the negative, I was emphasizing the positive in my own work when I saw that the site was being represented as 100% fraudulent, which it isn't. Is self-promotion prohibited on this forum? If so, I'll own that as the only legit criticism Major or you had for me, even though he didn't go that route. The rest is cherry-picking and strained logic. But you're right, it's late and you've been writing all day, so I'm sure more of you guys will pile on in the morning.

Well, some are gone fishing, others are enjoying comatose sleep cycles. I doubt you'll be given more attention, so rest easy. As for your choice of "marketing" (or your site's), it's waaaay off. But that's just me.

Calling your customers lazy and then pointing out that the site you work for (or own, whichever it is) has tons of bad reviews is good how? And for whom? My logic must be way off, yeah. I don't think it'll bring in the kind of results you hope for, but let's wait and see, shall we? I bid you farewell, I must return to my coffee pot and my typewriter. Adios.

If I saw a website called unemployed anything, I would not even consider the service. A professor who is not employed is most definitely not a professor. A tenured professor may work on student papers on the side (Yes, they do that most of the time, more so now that Covid has messed up the learning system), but they would do so under the cover of an academic writing company. They would never set up a company of their own, unemployed or not because of the risk to their possibility of being hired again. What if word got out that they assisted students in writing their paper? Exactly. They would be in a heap of trouble and in a bigger mess than the students they helped.

The company tries to look like a shiny red apple via its website. They look professional. They sound professional. They make professional claims and promises. It is a website that could be trusted by a student on a superficial basis. One has to look deeper into the company though to realize that they have always failed to meet client expectations and needs. There is no way that this company will manage to stay in business any longer.

Over the years, I've known two writers who wrote for them; obviously, neither one had ever been a professor or held a PhD.
