OMG this website is a huge rip off. First of all they are horrible with returning your emails. None of the writers are qualified. I had this one writer named Professor Rogue write me an essay on Aristotle. It was supposed to be ten pages long and it wasn't that hard. I gave him a week in advance to write it and I even paid him before he was even finished. And he gave a lousy paper. It was obviously plagirized and I was out one hundred and fifty dollars. I had to stay up all night and rewrite my entire paper. I already had a sinking feeling about this website before. they didn't have too many writers to begin with and i was already nervous to begin with. and thankfully i'd already written half my paper by the time i'd considered hiring these guys at unemployedprofessors.com

save your time and money and go somewhere else. they are rip-offs!!!

mcafee66 works for some shady essay mill that cannot do anything better than bad-mouth competitors.

I had several friends ordering from unemployedprofessors.com, and all were not only satisfied but also got As. Some even ordered really advanced stuff like, multivariate statistical analysis, theses, etc. The site actually only hires real professors, and not some random dudes with no degree or research skills.

Let me explain what is happening here. Since Google moved in with its Panda update, all low life, scummy essay mill have been tanking like there is no tomorrow. Their SEO no longer works, they are going out of business and do not show up in any searches. Hence the posts by desperate essay mills like mcafee66. The good thing is, essayscam.org does not get traffic any longer either, so whatever anyone posts in here is mostly like talking to yourself.

Quite the opposite - his review post appears genuine.

I had several friends ordering from unemployedprofessors.com

I had several friends who visited the Mercury.

Some even ordered really advanced stuff like, multivariate statistical analysis, theses, etc.

Some of them even visited Venus to pick up a Big Mac on the way. Do you really think that the "my friends did this or that story" holds any water these days?

Let me explain what is happening here.

You forgot to add: "I work for the shady essay mill I'm trying to defend."

It's not cool when a writing service mocks the education system (why do they think students who order essay services do it because they are lazy or want to party?) and the real professors. I doubt a single writer from this site is in fact a professor - they created a marketing trick which is as genuine as self-served testimonials.

No you idiot. I didn't work for unemployedprofessors.com. I was a student and I ordered from them. I usually used custompapers.com a couple of times and they were fine yet they'd gone up in price and then i found these guys on a fluke. I don't work for unemployedprofessors.com. I wished i had reviewed them. they seemed a little better than a couple of other places whose websites looked fake. I won't use another one of these websites without at least a phone number. i'm going back to custompapers.com.

I like the idea of those horrible sweatshop-style essay mills like essaywriters.net[DND*] and academia-research.com, falling like houses of cards.

In reality, though, they will probably just spring up somewhere else, like fungi.

So I got my essay back from unemployed professors and I must say it was probably better than if I would have done it myself. I was pretty happy with it. To anyone who is interested unemployed professors is legit, just make sure to check the reviews of each writer bidding on your work - don't just go for whoever offers the cheapest price.

So I had a look at the so-called professors. While I know that folks with master degrees, or less, teach college credit classes, they're hardly professors in any sense. If you read unemployedprofessors' spiel on who they hire, they do state that their writers hold at least a master degree and teach their own classes. But when I read some of the "prof" profiles, I see a several writers who clearly have not taught at the college level. I know that they provide a quality service, but the company name is somewhat misleading. What you're getting are over-educated writers who might have been professors had they spent several more years working toward such. I might have been an astronaut if I had worked harder, but that doesn't make me an unemployed space cadet. That particular honor goes to editor75.

I did just order from them actually. It was pretty well written in my humble opinion. Money well spent. I'm pretty sure they aren't professors, but the writer I used was pretty good. He even asked me a question about the assignment before he started writing it, and submitted a rough draft for revisions. I ended up just using the rough draft, because it met all my criteria. I tested the paper on my schools recommended plagiarism checker and it found nothing similar on the web, so I'm also pretty certain that it was original content.

I guess the downside of unemployed professors is that they have a lot of different writers, so who's to say what the other writers might put out. I don't want to advertise the writer I used here, but if you send me an email, I'll send you his name and a copy of the paper they wrote for me.

Ok, maybe I will. But what's the deal with the 'professors' - there is no real professor working for the site (except for the one from the logo). Unless it's a new marketing strategy or something (or unless the word 'professor' refer to a tutor, not a teacher of the highest rank in a college or university). It might have been wiser and safer to name the site UnemployedWriters.com.

I already have a paper from them, but I promised that I would not share. It's being used by a client. It looks good to me. It's not exactly at the level that I would expect from a professor, but it is far better than anything I have seen from other "writers". You can take my word or not. I don't care.

However, I do believe it is misleading to call them professors. It looks like a couple have been or still are non-tenured faculty.

Who am I shilling for? Um, nobody. I am not colluding with a single person or company on this site. I'm entirely here for myself. Unlike you, Dave, and Warren2BigBucks, I am not engaging in any shady practices. You wanna know who I am? Then send me a PM. We can talk on the phone if you like. Facebook? Sure we can do that.

My guess is that you'll remain in the shadows and continue cause trouble where you can. Do you remember asking me to order a paper from a company and then accusing me of being unfair?

UnemployedWriters. My simple question was - do you know any real professor who works for them? Or you also think the name could just be a marketing trick (it's legal so it's not a big deal I guess).

I would strongly suggest punching yourself in the face before using unemployedprofessors.com. I've ordered 2 papers and both have been nightmares.

Homeless ProfessorI ordered a 15 page paper two weeks in advance and was given 14 pages of second rate, ESL garbage. I might have been able to re-work it, and make due, but it was 6 days late. Which is the most frustrating thing only because the person I hired, Deluzianne, supposedly one of their "top tier" writers, was nearly impossible to get in touch with. I was polite in my requests for communication - I understand needing to concentrate and not be interrupted, but a simple reply saying, "I'm working on it." is all that's necessary and is the professional way to do business.

I got the paper 6 days late, had to rework the whole thing. I asked him to do some edits - mainly more research with references, so I didn't have to. He was rude and stubborn, making some lame excuses. The website promises "the kitchen sink" and he moaned and groaned like it was killing him to make the references APA - which were still wrong! It was a mess.

And when I wrote the "contact us" to say I was unhappy about paying $200 for such a mockery of a literature review, they basically said, "tough luck". But what makes me most upset is I got a C on the paper! pffft.

The next paper I thought, what if the last time was just a fluke. Sad to say, it wasn't. Same unprofessional communication and bogus writing skills. I ordered a 3 page paper on some very basic stuff - using the Toulemin model of argumentation. Cake. He acted like it was some obscure highly difficult request that couldn't just be googled (it's a Christmas miracle - it can!) He was late in delivery time, but this time I padded it a little because I had a feeling... Sure enough, it was due on Wednesday, I got it by Friday. It was horriffic writing. I could't even re-work it to make it acceptable. Run-on, incomplete sentences, laughable syntax, basic grammatical errors. I ask him to fix it and he said ok I'll have it to you by Sunday... crickets... never got it. He never even bothered to write me back. He just blew me off. Total BS... I had to write the whole thing the night before it was due.

What really makes me mad is they still take your money. After all that stress and having to write it myself, they don't even have the decency to refund my money.

I would strongly recommend stubbing your toe repeatedly over using this service.

but a simple reply saying, "I'm working on it." is all that's necessary and is the professional way to do business.

I have been thinking about this thing: how important it is for a client to 'keep in touch' with their writer (freelance or someone at a company).

I am aware that while most of the freelance writers here and, most probably, elsewhere reply 'in person' to their clients, most of the companies (legit at least) have managerial filters through which such communication transits, and it is eventually slower. Second, at most companies (if not all) writers' and clients' identities are hidden from one another as if to carry it to the grave.

Would that be a good idea to start a thread around this topic to learn from the experiences of clients, writers, and, possibly, from some company reps?

how important it is for a client to 'keep in touch' with their writer (freelance or someone at a company).

It probably depends on whether the writer does this full time and as a permanent occupation or only part time and/or just temporarily in between traditional jobs. I get emails from old clients all the time asking me whether I'm "still" writing essays and I always have to respond by telling them that I'm not retiring anytime soon and that they should just send me their future project details without the preliminary inquiry about whether or not I'm still available, even if it's been a few years since our last collaboration.

I am aware that while most of the freelance writers here and, most probably, elsewhere reply 'in person' to their clients, most of the companies.

The same is true when it comes to writers at essay companies, mainly because many of us career academic writers continue taking some company orders even after we eventually transition to much more freelance writing. I can only speak from my experience because different companies probably have different systems, but the only way customers can contact us is through a screen linked to their pending or recently-completed projects. I believe they used to be able to go back to previously-completed projects indefinitely if they kept their passwords, but more recently, I believe the company imposed a limit on how long those customer credentials continue to work after delivered projects. In that case, you'd have to see whether your writer is still listed on the drop-down list of preferred writers or, if the company doesn't use drop-down lists, just contact customer service before placing your order to ask whether your writer is still working for them.

@editor75, Meo seems to be correct about clients and writers' identities being hidden. I asked every single company I applied to if my real identity would be hidden and they all said yes. It would be fair to assume it's standard practice, no?

MeowCon is correct in most of his assertions, although I would argue that managerial filters slow nothing down. I'm not calling his assertions into question, just where he got the nerve to make them.

Some companies will use your first name as your writer ID or email, but if that worries you, it could be any name. Privacy is very important on both sides, although it seems for every "xyzabc@aol" I have as a company client, there are five more "Jacob_Salazar@hotmail"s. Customers in this industry are among the dumbest, which stands to reason, if you think about it.

Where did MeoKhan suddenly get the authority to speak for "most companies?"

It's not really assertions; most of it comes from my homework that I continue to do because it is good to keep informed. However, I am not saying I am 100% correct or well-informed. I maybe wrong.

Second, FLW, Flukes, and even you have somewhat endorsed this statement I made. Third, I stated that I wanted to learn from others' experience which means I am saying it out loud that I do not know everything.

Last, please learn to argue with reasons only. Do not give the reader an impression (by using derogatory phrases) that you've failed to understand what it means to argue with reasons.

It probably depends on whether the writer does this full time and as a permanent occupation or only part time and/or just temporarily in between traditional jobs.

This part-time thing skipped my attention above :).

I can definitely believe that you could get a crappy paper from this site. I'm sure it depends on who is writing for you. For my own purposes however, I have only had good experiences using unemployed professors. I just ordered another paper from them (was my 3rd) but each time I used the same "professor".

What the hell? Why did I get branded a lying spammer?

I was simply trying to do my part and let others know my experiences with the site. Is there any good way to post some proof that I have used this site and been given good results without exposing my identity and being kicked out of my classes?

I think the credibility of this site is undermined when users are branded "lying spammer" anytime a positive review gets posted.

That said I do have a negative review to give about the "professor" named Deleuzienne. I used this writer because my preferred writer was unavailable. Deleuzienne did not communicate with me at all, and submitted a less than stellar paper to me at the last minute - no rough drafts or anything ahead of time. I had to make quite a few edits to bring it up to par and almost did not get it submitted in time.I will not use Deleuzienne again but I will continue to use unemployedprofessors. It's not like anyone here actually recommends a better site. Trying to find good information on this site is not exactly easy. All I ever seem to see is flame wars and people being branded "lying spammer" without reasonable proof, or any explained reasoning. That helps no one.

Editor75, sorry if my post looked like spam, in hindsight I suppose it does look a little like spam.

That said I don't know a good way of proving that I had a good experience without exposing my personal information. I will not risk being expelled just because someone might not believe my post.

Is there some sort of system to verify the claims of the users on this site? I think that a good system could stop a lot of the flame wars and finger pointing, but I have no idea how such a system might function. Enough people seem to use this site to make coming up with something worth it, however.

This is an anti-scam forum. It is not the kind of a review forum where you are supposed to be recommending companies in the first place. That said, since so many people do anyway, and since the site accepts advertising money from anyone and everyone, who cares, right?

That's why there's so much spam. In your case, what will make your post seem less like spam, whatever it is, is to give it a few details. A writer-name is a good start, but how about some of the customer service people's names? What about some details about your project-- you don't have to post the title page, but what was it about? How many pages was it?

Features like these can be faked, but they go a long way towards making your statement believable, as opposed to yet another vague endorsement with no supporting details for the "random chat" thread.
