I was recently badly injured with my back (4 discs herniated) and missed a total of 4 weeks of classes. I have been given special permission by professors to make up assignments all the way up to Christmas Eve. There is no possible way for me to do the current week and next week's assignments before break and make up 4 weeks as well. I got burned back in early October late September and sure enough a paper I got was right on turnitin.com.
Since it is frowned upon to appeal for a particular site to go to...can we do the reverse and save me precious time by telling me which one's to avoid at all costs?
Thanks so much.

Sorry to hear about your back.
There used to be lists posted of scam sites on the web. Not sure that any remain available anymore, they were likely taken down for legal reasons but I've been out of the loop a bit so not 100% sure.
Your best bet may just be to scan through forums like this one and avoid the sites that come up as website titles. Pretty much every company will have some complaint somewhere but avoiding the 'frequent flyers' will help to limit your risk at bit.
Also, confirm the location too before you order. You're in much better shape dealing with a company in your own country.
Usually, talking to someone in customer support on the phone or even via online chat should be enough to let you know if you want to spend your money there.
Good luck with your study efforts.
WritersBeware
Also, in general, you should avoid any site that lies about its age (for example, "Since 1997").
"Since 1997"
Yea what the hell is up with that year? There are so many damn sites that all claim 1997 was the year the magic started. Did something actually happen in 1997 and I missed it?
WritersBeware
The Universal Research (EssayWriters.net, BestEssays.com, SuperiorPapers.com, etc.) fraudsters from Ukraine began promoting the "Since 1997" farce in November of 2007 in a calculated effort to dishonestly employ a "decade of experience" (1997-2007) marketing campaign. One month earlier, in October of 2007, the fraudsters advertised a slightly less fraudulent claim of "since 2002," which they had maintained for quite some time.
Yes, I have the irrefutable evidence.
If Universal Research has been in existence since that time 2002, 2007, 1997 then it seems they got a number of years in the business. One Major battle in this forum has been between WB and proponents of Essaywriters like EW. Evidence and counter-evidence have been produced to verify the claims but at the end of the day its all about competition of business and good thing is that it exposes others who are rotten and guide you on the writing sites.
One thing is that while trying to look for solution of your problem do not beleive 100% of everything said..its true there are others fronting for their companies but canvassing in many forms.. Get the advice and do your own research to substantiate the facts and lies
Regards

Josh, if you can't show that anything that I have posted is false, you have ZERO point.

You must have got your writer by now. If you are still looking for one, please write to me, I might be able to help with a name or two. We have created a sort of database like details on whom to contact for which subject. We have this network of students with diverse needs.
Good information. I really enjoyed reading these comments, Lee
writersbeware, i suppose this topic is more in line with my situation as well - what to do to ensure money (and precious time) isn't wasted...

Rorshach, no one can promise you that you won't end up wasting time and money. You may even find yourself disastified with a company that is considered legit by the members of this forum, that's just how things are.
But I would suggest that you ignore any private solicitations that you may receive from people claiming to be writers on this forum. In such cases, you have zero recourse to get a refund if something goes wrong.
well, i submitted a brief estimate request from *********.com and essay writer, hopefully 1.) they're legitimate 2.) timely 3.) cost effecient ;)

Not always the case. You shouldn't speak in absolutes, especially when they're wrong.

Oh really, so how does someone collect money from an anonymous email address who contacted them over the net for work?
People get ripped off via this method on this forum all the time. There've been too many past posts from people claiming to be contacted by a writer who paid and got nothing. Pretending that this is a safe form of transaction isn't responsible.
about how long for a response usually? already received initial (non-automated) one from the second... been reading around the 'net and getting tad leery on one, but could be just a few instances, you can't always please everyone. and i think there would be even more instances returned for scam on google if they were...
Lavinia 4 | 495 ☆☆ Freelance Writer
Rorshach - The response totally depends on the company. Some will get back to you routinely within hours while others may not send you anything until they return your money the following billing cycle. I don't know about essaywriters.co.uk personally. ET will be looking to find you a writer (something that can be difficult this time of year) and if they don't find one for your project, you may not receive the response you want. Don't be afraid to call a company and talk to someone directly if you are short on time.
We're all in the middle of busy season so not finding you a writer (depending on your project parameters/subject/deadline) is a pretty strong possibility. Good luck and I hope it works out with one of them.
pheelyks
Oh really, so how does someone collect money from an anonymous email address who contacted them over the net for work?
You got me there. Collecting money from an email address would be hard. Collecting money from a
person who uses an email address is pretty easy, though. There's a site called PayPal that's been around for awhile--free, easy, and secure for verified buyers/sellers. You should check it out.
Pretending that this is a safe form of transaction isn't responsible.
This forum doesn't offer the means for any transaction to take place. A little thinking on the part of the writer and/or customer leaves a lot of room for security for both parties.
Being incredibly paranoid and bitter isn't exactly irresponsible, but it isn't especially productive, either.

You should probably read up a bit on Paypal. There is a strict period of time in which a refund must be requested. If the client doesn't request it in time, they're out of luck.
The forum provides the way for unscrupulous writers to solict work. It also provides a way for desperate clients to agree to work with any yahoo with an account. (All against the rules of course, but it's clear some people on this forum don't care about the rules).
I notice you didn't deny the fact that people have already been scammed this way.

I guess you'd know.
So how many deals have you worked out using this forum? You seem to be quite the expert.
pheelyks

Meaning that the customer (and reputable writer) should make sure that payment occurs as close as possible to the delivery of the paper. That was tough.

And for scrupulous writers. And for customers of the scrupled and unscrupled varieties. And for website owners. And administrators. And educators. And bitter paranoid hacks. It's almost as if ANYONE was allowed to join this Internet thing...when did that happen?
I notice you didn't deny the fact that people have already been scammed this way.
I have no personal knowledge of such scams, but I'm sure they happen. I'm sure muggings happen in Times Square. But if I ever get to visit NYC, I'll take my chances and go to Times Square anyway. Not exactly analogous, I realize, but the underlying logic is the same.
I guess you'd know.
Ouch! Carefully bandying that wit about--it's sharp!
So how many deals have you worked out using this forum? You seem to be quite the expert.
Obviously, it would be against the rules for me to have engaged in such behavior. And I don't see anyone posting here about how they've been scammed by me, so according to your logic I must be an upstanding and rule-abiding member of the forum.
Lavinia 4 | 495 ☆☆ Freelance Writer

You're one of those writers that promises an original dissertation in 24 hours too, huh? If it's a long project, it can and will easily go past the paypal deadline. Or there will be revision requests, or delays that look totally legit as the days tick down, a book being waited on via interlibrary loan, the chance to do a bit more research, a family emergency... and all the while the ability to get reimbursed fades away.
Bottom line though: your claim that paypal is safe is false, people still can and do lose their money.
And for scrupulous writers.
Scrupulous writers wouldn't break forum rules.
I have no personal knowledge of such scams.
Except you're the mugger and not the tourist.
I guess I hit a nerve by threatening a means of income for you. Don't worry you can find other work! Stand up comedy perhaps!?!
Chances are any clients who have used writers on this forum have been extremely satisfied with the product they purchased. Otherwise, there would be threads here about what writers on this forum other people shouldn't trust.In fact, this would be just about the worst place to disappoint a cutomer or "scam" somebody.
What's so idiotic about your continual mantra about "scrupulous" and "unscrupulous" writers is that you don't bother to make any distinction between writers who are 100% honest and scrupulous in their work for cutomers and writers who dare violate the rules of an Internet forum. That's like telling people not to trust a writer because you know he doesn't scrupulosuly separate out his recyclables from his regular garbage at home.
You don't seem to understand that the two things are completely different issues and that breaking the rules of an Internet forum is completely unrelated to whether or not a writer provides good honest original work for clients. I'm not defending ignoring forum rules and I've apologized to the foum if my recent post mentioning my areas of writing that you're losing so much sleep over crossed the line of soliciting. But you're an idiot for suggesting that means I'm an unscrupulous person or professional writer.
You should save your moral indignation for writers and companies who have scammed customers or provided lousy writing for a fee. This is essayscamforums not TheSocietyForScrupulousAdherenceToInternetForumRulesForums .
pheelyks
your claim that paypal is safe is false, people still can and do lose their money.
Nothing is 100% safe. You can walk into a brick and mortar store, buy something, have it break five minutes later, and be refused a refund. And no, I don't promise dissertations in 24 hours. There are other ways to guarantee security to the customer.
Scrupulous writers wouldn't break forum rules.
So, if someone is willing to break a forum rule they are also willing to steal someone's money? Do you obey the speed limit, always refrain from jaywalking, etc.?
Except you're the mugger and not the tourist.
Or more accurately, I'm the guy you're extremely worried MIGHT be a mugger, so you avoid Times Square altogether. Again, you assume that I have been scamming people through this site, but there isn't a single shred of evidence (probably because it didn't happen).
I guess I hit a nerve by threatening a means of income for you.
No, you hit a nerve by being stupid. I make plenty of money without using this forum for financial gain.
Stand up comedy perhaps!?!
Good idea! Can I borrow your c**t puppet?
That's like telling people not to trust a writer because you know he doesn't scrupulosuly separate out his recyclables from his regular garbage at home.
Which I do, by the way. My city charges me for it if I don't. You ARE a recycler, aren't you, Freelance?

The tag team duo get into the ring together!
Two writers who defend the practice of blindly soliciting clients through the forum, to the point that they'll resort to crude sexism and ad hom attacks. Yeah, these are two clowns everyone should solicit for work.
WritersBeware
I prefer to recycle fraudsters into consumer awareness, which is more in-line with the purpose of this site.
pheelyks
Crude, yes. Sexist, no. There was a particular pejorative used at some point (I really don't know when or in what context; the first I read of it was FW's response to what I suppose was an objection to the term you raised) that refers to a part of the body that is anatomically female. I have shown no reluctance to engage in similarly crude banter involving masculine anatomy, as well as orifices common to both genders.

is the adverb supposed to mean something here, or is it just for emphasis?
ad hom attacks
Had to look this one up, too. Learning so much today! Actually, you're the one engaging in ad hominem attacks, suggesting that if I or FW are willing to break forum rules we must also be cheats and liars. I haven't inferred anything about you from your posts, nor have I used a personal attack in an attempt to refute your logic. Your lack of logic speaks for itself, and has been the basis of all of my arguments against you. Humorous additions, such as my request to borrow your puppet for the stand up routine you proffered as a career alternative, have nothing to do with any sort of logical argument (which presumably you knew, seeing as you started it) and thus aren't ad hominem attacks.
WritersBeware

Looking at the insulting way with which certain writers treat the students, ridicule their English etc. on this forum, I totally agree with you. With two jobs to support myself and my education and three ambitious courses, I have a difficult time constraint. Hence, the dependence on essay writers.
ok, so since this thread is about advice in an urgent situation, i'll ask the following in hopes of receiving an answer that doesn't violate some code speak (or whatever my previous posts seem to cross the line of) and result in movement/discarding:
since making a hefty payment in order to meet the required deadline of research, i have heard nothing back, when prior to making payment it was instant response times from customer support. my urgency simply leads me to seek advice as to if this is normal operating procedures as writers are diligently working, or if i should have at least been contacted from a writer for any questions or clarifications on the research by now?
this is meant to seek a legitimate answer, as i am new to the process, not as an insult - at any rate, with the amount of money involved i would think communication from service providers would be first and foremost a priority?
WritersBeware
I see, you think you have monopoly over nonsense and solicitation!
Provide evidence of either, you illiterate joke.
thought since my question was answered, i'd post & share it with others who may find this info useful in the future.
"you will not hear from the writer unless he/she encounters a specific problem that prevents him/her from proceeding further."
so, guess that's it - just patience for now! ;)

Dreamer - you are living in La La land if, for a second, you assume you are fooling anyone.
You have, on occasion, claimed to be a professional academic writer and, at other times, a student, dependant on essay writing services. The only conclusions to be drawn here are:
1) You are not a student but a writer, desperate to land customers;
2) You are a student who would not dare write and submit her/his own researches for academic credit (coz you know you suck), but have no qualms writing for others. What the heck ... as long as your grades are not on the line, why should you care about the poor sods whose money you are taking in exchange for the delivery of sub-standard work?

Dreamer - your shameless prevarication and the way you blatantly tout your services, make you one of the most unethical members of this forum.
At precisely what age did you lose your self-respect or weren't you born with any, in the first place?
Looking at the insulting way with which certain writers treat the students, ridicule their English etc. on this forum
You are an underhanded, deceitful person! You actually have the temerity to accuse others of disrespecting students, when none are so blase about their future as you? The Great Dreamer would not risk his/her own grades by submitting papers he/she wrote for her/his own academic credit but, writes for other students!
I see, you think you have monopoly over nonsense and solicitation!
I really cannot get over the fact that YOU (of all people) wrote this. All
you do is post nonsense and solicit students for work. Do not point fingers at others or someone may be tempted to snap the pointing finger off.

Students, do you want this uncivilized person (or her company), who ridicules students forgetting that they are her livelihood, write your papers?

Yes, I am sure that they would prefer you ...
1) you can barely write
2) you hire others to write your papers
BUT
3) write papers for others students at a fee.
You wouldn't risk your grades but do not give a flying **** about failing others students.
Dream on, Dreamer ... only in your dreams would students prefer you over most anyone here.
Stop trawling for customers. It is sad and pathetic.

i'm only praying this can be resolved positively and quickly... anyone with "advice" on this "urgent situation"?

Rorshach, you have already been told once that this is NOT the place to post status updates on your personal order with ANY particular company. That is NOT the purpose of this site. The moderator deleted your previous attempts for a reason. Stop making his/her job harder by ignoring forum rules related to publicity and/or promotion.
so, this site is about what exactly then? if you cannot post about situations, scams, or other dilemmas essay "sites" pose? and how would not specific examples of case in point be pertinent? especially when the thread topic, inside of a forum entitled "esay writing services", is about "advice in an urgent situation"?!?!
