Are these student help sites legit?

Given the fairly decent but still obviously ESL copy (misused articles and such), I'd say no.

Thank you for this information.
We will add it to our list of known scammers to advise clients when they call us for advice.
Thank you for your post, it was really helpful
I'm getting really sick of this ****. Writemypapers' customer service rep says the company's office is in London, "but it is not open to visitor."
Evidence indicates that writemypapers.org is one of the Ukrainian sites that has been involved in the mass, world-wide link SPAM campaign that has been documented quite well in this forum.
Nope. These sites are not legit. Their writers do not have the writing ability of even a high school graduate. The writers are incapable of proper communication with the client, do not have any idea how to follow the instructions from the student, and rarely respond to questions as well. The sales agents aren't any better either. Word is, they take up to a week to respond to a client query, when the paper had a short turn around time of 2 days! Sheesh!
Write My Paper is the surviving entity between the two related firms. Although Write My Paper boasts of having highly qualified writers and efficient services, nothing could be further from the truth. While it is true that the writers do not miss deadlines, that does not mean that you will receive high quality work from them. These are just papers that were slapped together by the writers, who I hear have been turning to AI to write the papers of their clients anyway. The students easily spot the AI written papers and demand refunds, much to the anger of the company owners.
It's hardly a good sign that (literally) the very first first sentence on their homepage is grammatically incorrect: "Get an expert academic writing assistance!" However, their most dangerous offer to prospective clients is their "Editing And Proofreading" service. If you send any essay company your own essay, they can do whatever they want with it, such as adding it to their own database for sale or for use as a free sample on their website. Even worse, once they have your work, they can immediately start blackmailing you for money as soon as you decline to place the order, by threatening to upload your essay to plagiarism scanners so that when it's checked after submission, your entire work immediately gets flagged as though you plagiarized every word of your own hard work. As always, the only way to protect yourself against that is to use only essay writers who will provide you with their full ID information, street address, and their local landline phone number, on request, because threats and blackmail are absolutely impossible without hiding behind the cloak of anonymity, even in remote online transactions.
Like I said in a previous thread, it is difficult for the student to trust these ID's. I would like to add a suggestion. Maybe consider doing a video call interview with the client that will help establish your identity via a recorded meeting or screenshot? That way he will have more than just data to go by in terms of hiring and also, give himself an additional layer of protection should a writer, any writer, I do not mean you, try to blackmail him in the future? You at least have both each other on record as actual persons involved in the deal. Would that work for you and the other writers here?
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.
As I explained in the same previous thread you're referencing, "trust" isn't even necessary when the ID info provided by a writer is independently verifiable by clients. Once I provide my full name, anybody can find my address in NYC and my landline, without even relying on me for the phone number, because my info is all listed publicly. That's even more reliable than relying on me to provide the same info, because it's completely impossible to hack into public records to create a fake decades-long address and phone history, retroactively. In my case, it's also completely impossible to hack into the public website of the US Department of Health & Human Services Inspector General's office to (retroactively) insert my (unusual) name as the Writer/Editor of HHS-OIG reports that have been on the agency's server for 15+ years.
Frankly, I haven't experienced much of an issue with prospective clients requesting more proof of identity from me than my full name, precisely because they can confirm my identity independently, and they can reach me by phone at the same phone # that they find in public information databases for NYC residents. Anybody can make up a new fake name that can't be verified independently using public databases; however, nobody can fabricate a name that's so easily confirmed by decades of public information, especially when the person can also be reached by phone at the exact phone number associated with the name in all of those public information sources. In 20+ years, fewer than 10 prospective clients have even needed to call me, partly because some of the same Internet searches that generate my address and phone history also generate my email history and display my AOL email that also dates back more than 20 years.
Finally, regarding the idea of video meetings: (1) A video meeting obviously provides no proof at all of the name or identity of the person appearing on the screen; and (2) I'd think that the absolute last thing that any student would want to do is create a permanent video record of his interview with an academic writer if he's so worried about being ripped off or blackmailed that he needs to do a video chat with a writer, in the first place, especially a writer he does not yet know he can trust to be a legitimate honest writer and not a blackmailer. Conversely, there's zero potential risk to prospective clients associated with doing a basic search online to verify that the name provided by a writer is both real and also associated with a lifelong residential and phone history. Once you've verified that the person on the other end of the phone can't possibly be anybody other than the person whose name the writer provided, (because you used public information to find that phone number, independently), you know you're really dealing with the same person whose name you searched. As always, the best possible protection you can ever have against potential blackmail is simply knowing the real identity of the person with whom you're dealing, because blackmail is completely impossible to perpetrate without anonymity.
