First time doing this stuff is writemyessayonline.com legit? I think I found it on search engine but it looks to be similar to other sites I visited. I found some simple language errors on their website too. And their writers' rankings don't add up (I'm good at stats lol).

Write OnlineLive chat gives the following as the company address; the representative said that customers are free to stop by (!), but that they mostly do web orders.

1702 Williams Dr
Georgetown, TX 78628
USA

If you look that address up on Google Maps, you'll see that it's a residential property, not a business.

They do not have a real US office, but they lie and claim to, hoping that you won't check.

They also have horrible web-copy, if you're into judging companies by that.

If I were you, I would stay far away. It must be from an ESL country.

On the other hand, thousands of (small) US-based companies use part of their home as a business office (and it's perfectly legal). I guess most of full-time freelance writers fit this category (ie. they use a room of their home as a place to conduct business for tax purposes). Whether the postal address is real or not.. that's another story. The 'writers active / writers online' and 'the average quality score' / 'visitors online' stats they post on the site seem fake.

Correct. The same is equally true of all of the essay-company writers at every essay company I've ever worked for, including the largest and most successful legitimate American essay companies in existence: we're all just freelancers working from our homes. I know of no essay company that actually employs any on-site writers. They all just provide an online portal that functions exactly like a bulletin board: the available company orders all get listed on a secure website to which all of us writers have access, and we just take the orders by clicking the right tabs on a first-come/first-served basis.

The companies never actually meet any of their writers in person (even those of us who have been working for them for more than a decade) and the only way any of us writers knows any other writers is through forums like this one where some of us happen to use the same ID as our essay-company writer ID, because the companies don't provide any of our emails to one another, even when we ask. At most, they'll sometimes relay a message the same way they relay messages between us and customers without ever divulging our identity or contact information. I imagine they probably just don't want us sharing any information about our respective pay rates or about our experiences with their customer-service teams.

Generally, we freelancers are all the exact same writers who are also simultaneously employed by essay companies and whether we get assignments through the companies or independently, we're all just working from our own homes. There's nothing necessarily "wrong" with that but customers who imagine that essay companies employ fulltime on-site writers all working at the offices of those essay companies are picturing something that simply does not exist, at least to my knowledge and to the knowledge of every other legitimate freelance writer also working for essay companies simultaneously.

Hi, would you take an order? If not, please recommend me anyone reliable for my paper. Thank you in advance!

P.S.: question to Freelance Writer

To the idiots implicitly defending this company: is it because you don't have a legit US/UK address yourself? It it because you saw yet another chance to advertise? Why?!

Pathetic!

In case you missed my point, let me reiterate: I asked the CSR if customers could visit the "office," and she said,"yes."

I assume that kind of situation would be no problem for either of you clowns, right?

We defend the reality and logic. What do you mean by an illegal address? FreelanceWriter probably uses part of his home as a business office, and it is a legal and legitimate way of doing business in the US. This particular site has enough red flags to be considered illegitimate, but our replies corrected the flaws in your thinking, that's all.

I'm talking about customers visiting your home, idiot-- or armed compound, or hole under a rock... wherever you run your "business" from. Understand? Your English sucks anyway, but I thought you could at least read.

People who need editing/writing services have no business visiting offices (95% of them are 'virtual offices' unless it's a big company). It's 2015 already, not 1965.

Nice try hiding your own lack of transparency behind technological progress. It's not going to work. Neither is trying to hide your ignorance of my original assertion.

Do you realize you're actually arguing my point now? That CSR had no business lying about a non-office which customers cannot visit. I called them out on it, and then went back to the site and told them I just blew them up on essayscam. If she had a problem with me calling her a liar, she could have come here and told me. What's your problem?

You asserted that a residential property address cannot be a real US office at the same time. That's not true and we educated you on that.

We can argue all day. The only way to tell for sure is to go to the house and drive a forklift through it, to see if it is a business or not.

Operating a business out of a home is not illegal or unethical. However, misrepresenting that one's home is some sort of "corporate building" or brick-and-mortar "store" for the sole purpose of garnering undue trust from potential customers is absolutely unethical (and potentially illegal), especially if the perpetrator is an ESL hack located in Asia/Africa.

I'll just post quotes from the chat log from now on, lest my meaning be misinterpreted by poachers and buffoons.

"Cathy9:19:47 AM
We operate from an office. Customers are not welcome because our writers require a conducive environment to do their job."

Either that, or there is a group of very sensitive writers clocking into and out of a storm cellar in Texas.

Regardless of their actual company location, it would appear that most ESL students who use their service find satisfaction in the submitted papers. Since the clients are mostly satisfied with the final product, then that lends an aura of legitimacy to their company. However, their writers get a failing grade when it comes to interacting with the clients. Even though they manage to follow instructions as provided, they fail to communicate with their clients during the writing process. They often respond on a delayed basis, which means their writers are more focused on providing good work, than keeping the client updated.

I hope that anybody considering this service based upon the website presentation notices the most glaring shortcoming of this company. They do not offer any kind of online support system for the clients. There is no listing of a phone number, email, or chat window. That is definitely the biggest red flag that you should be considering with regards to this company. You will basically place your order without any support system from the company, which does not bode well for their writer communication system as well. Remember that you will get what you pay for. In this case, the low prices coincide with the lack of client support. Think twice. This is not the service for any student, even if the deal is highly enticing.

I know nothing about this company besides what I've read on this forum. However, it seems either that you have to register an account or that you have the option of registering; and I'd imagine that provides a means of communicating with them. The much more important issue is that you don't need to get very far into their website to encounter atrocious (obviously ESL) writing, even in the paragraphs specifically claiming to provide a rigorous "proofreading" process. If an essay company can't even come up with error-free copy on its own website, they're not going to be able to provide better writing in their projects; in fact, their projects are more likely to be much worse than the copy that they apparently believe is good enough to put up on their website.
