Is my anonymity guaranteed for when you purchase a custom paper online? I need someone I work with on the basis of mutual trust, respect and discretion.

Thank you.

Serious offer.

And Rusty - or Editor (after we demolished you) - you're not desperate for business? Haha!

how exactly did you "demolish" me, you manic con-artist?

and who's "we?"

if you had any friends here in the first place, you weird drama-queen, you don't anymore.

and no, quitting AR didn't make me "desperate for business--" not that you or WB had anything to do with that. after I quit, I got other hooks in other places I'm not going to blab about here. let's just say it hits pretty close to home for you, so watch what you say to me.

ah, the worm has really turned, WRT. I remember when you were on a hair trigger about some misunderstood smack-talk you took as being about your scam company, which has now been openly exposed on these boards. you looked like a fool then, and you look like one now.

here's a question for you: what are you doing back here? don't you have any shame?

get back out, and stay out. check yourself into a mental clinic-- you're posting in 50 threads at once, raving about things that happened years ago, and referring to yourself as "we." you really need help!

Anonymous StudentYears ago? Illiterate are we? How many companies disowned you right here on this board? According to AR, you did not quit but was fired. That's their version.

Nope. Our company is not a fraud and we never hire idiots like you.

One word from FW and we'll post the evidence. We refrained thus far as we did not want to post his personal details. But if we are given no choice, we will and right after that, will take action.

So, how's your work as a WRITER for ACADEMON?

Customers, beware, after rusty/editor75 delivers your papers, he posts them online for sale at academon.com. Talk about ethics :)

Rusty/editor: "hits pretty close to home."

If that were remotely true, you'd know we are currently offline because we are revamping our sites - our site names will not be changed because we don't need to recreate ourselves as you do. And, no, you do not work for us. So stop your lying innuendoes. Oh! You can't! Lying is in your DNA.

And whether you know it or not, plenty of friends and plenty of writers here are with us. As per our policy, however, they may not speak on our behalf or laud our praises. If you were remotely connected to us, you'd know that, wouldn't you?

Your anonymity is only guaranteed provided you take precautions when you use the service. Even though the company guarantees your privacy in their Terms of Service, you can only hold them to that agreement for as long as it is convenient for them to do so. The minute the company wants to make an extra buck off of you, they won't hesitate to use any information that they have against you.

They may blackmail you if you give them too much information. That is why it is important that you verify the credentials and rating of the writing company or independent writer before you sign up for the service. Once you get your information out there, it is out there. There have been nightmare stories posted here about writers blackmailing students long after the student has graduated. Don't be part of the statistics. Make sure you only provide necessary information to complete the task. Use a masked payment service such as Paypal to transfer funds, and do not provide your full name , contact details and university information to the company or writer for any reason. You need to know how to protect yourself because the scam companies and writers will take advantage of any loophole that they can find in your private information to use against you.

Legitimate freelance writers and academic outsourcing companies know that their business is based solely on the trust of that client. That is something that they are not going to violate for any reason. They will not use any identifiable information to your detriment. The companies and writers also make sure that they have some sort of servery security system that protects their client information from hacking or misuse by others. Trust, respect, and discretion are descriptive words that runs both ways. Just as the client expects the writer or company to honor these codes of secrecy when it comes to academic outsourcing, so does the company and / or writer. To be sure that you do not end up getting a bum deal, ask your peers for writing service recommendations. They should be able to point you in the right direction when it comes to hiring a trusted service.

It depends on the provider. I go so far as to maintain coded client folders that aren't even identifiable without my hardcopy client ID sheet. Scam companies will use your ID to blackmail you to withdraw legitimate payment disputes for totally plagiarized or otherwise subpar work or even for non-delivered projects. Some other companies that aren't scams actually reserve the right to publish your paper and to disclose your name and all of your correspondence, and even to contact your school to make sure that you haven't used their product in the event you do a chargeback OR if you violate any of their TOS, and their TOS include specific prohibitions against submitting your project for academic credit, putting your name on their work, or failing to cite those companies as sources if you incorporate any part of their product into your submissions. That's why it's always important to read their TOS very carefully when deciding on a provider.

It's interesting that you focus on 'scam companies' when in fact out of 10 'scam companies' there are 100 'scam freelance writers.' Proof: https://essayscam.org/forum/es/list-spamming-scamming-foreign-twitter-freelance-6050/

to make sure that you haven't used their product in the event you do a chargeback

I think I've mentioned it before - fraudulent students and online scammers should only use your services because you would never try to get your money back even if you get scammed. It's admirable that you have time to write a 50-dissertation for free (if so, why would you even consider taking money for your service when you are fine with credit card or Paypal fraudsters to order from you and you publicly promise to never do anything about that).

I didn't "focus" on scam companies at all. In fact, I very deliberately limited my statement to apply only to scam companies and, likewise, I purposely distinguished them from legit companies instead of painting all essay companies with an unfairly broad brush. Obviously, there are more scam writers than companies, because scam writers need nothing but an email address that can be changed easily. My comment was not a reference to any legitimate providers, irrespective of the distinction between writers and essay companies.

If you just check the TOS of your own essay company, you'll see that they don't (currently) say that you have the right to publish papers and student correspondence and to contact their schools only if they attempt to "defraud" or "scam" your company, which would be perfectly understandable. They specifically say that you reserve the right to do all of that if a customer merely violates any of your TOS; and your TOS expressly prohibit any use of your product in your customers' work unless they actually "cite" your essay company as the source of any incorporated material from the projects that you provide. Your TOS also expressly prohibit your customers from putting their names on your projects and state that your company reserves full ownership and copyright of your projects, even though they're fully paid for by your customers. My clients own whatever I write for them and I don't police how they choose to use my work or require them to give me the right to publish their work or our correspondence, or to contact their schools. This thread is about anonymity guarantees and the fact that your (current) TOS expressly reserve the right to publicize your customers' ID and contact their schools if they violate any of your TOS is directly relevant to that topic. Just read them for yourself if you doubt me.

Of course, now that I've pointed it out, I imagine that you'll be changing that wording ASAP, the same way you changed the TOS of this forum a few years ago immediately after I asked for the physical mailing address of this forum because your TOS here used to say that your physical address would be provided on receipt of a written request for it. Instead of responding to my written request with the address as per your TOS as they appeared when I made that request, you simply eliminated that entire provision of the forum TOS the next day.

Correction: I didn't "focus" on essay companies versus writers at all, as was implied by Major. I did focus, specifically, on scammers, not legit providers of either variety; and I was careful to distinguish the former from the latter. Apologies for any confusion.

If you just check the TOS of your own essay company.

What is "my" essay company?

Of course, now that I've pointed it out, I imagine that you'll be changing that wording ASAP, the same way you changed the TOS of this forum a few years ago

Wow, OK - what I'll do ASAP is to contact admin to point out your lies.

What is "my" essay company?

Actually, I edited the name of that company out of my response before posting it to avoid an unnecessary conflict with the owners of this forum. We can certainly discuss that if you wish, along with which very-high-volume poster also obviously works for the same company and how your company advertises here in ways that aren't available (or fair) to any of your competitors.

Wow, OK - what I'll do ASAP is to contact admin to point out your lies.

As per the TOS of this forum, Admin does not get involved in disagreements between members and understands that all of our posts represent our own subjective beliefs. I have violated no forum rule and everything I said above represents my sincere and honest beliefs about you and what company actually employs you. The only way Admin here would ever get involved in this would be, precisely, because you do work for them, exactly as I (and others) have believed for a very long time. If anything I've said here is factually incorrect and Admin wishes to correct the record, they can simply issue a statement to the contrary and indicate that you don't have any affiliation with this forum (except as a registered user) and that you aren't an employee of the essay company that owns this forum. Unless you do work for them, their (standard) response to you in any such case would be that they don't get involved in disputes between members and that if you're uncomfortable with anything posted on this forum, you should just stop posting here, exactly as explained in their TOS.

mtcitdhcaamamtosamn

Incidentally, this abbreviation at the bottom of some of my recent posts (including Post #11 above) stands for "Major to chime in to defend his company and ask me about my TOS any minute now" precisely because of how predictable you are in attacking me anytime you perceive anything I say to be suggesting that writers are safer than essay companies. Nobody who isn't employed by an essay company that competes directly with me (and with all writers) for business would ever do that, much less as regularly and as nastily as you have for years.

The fact that there is a very precise and very easy to articulate response to any post made by freelance writers here speaks volumes. I have no quarrel with the owners of the forum, nor with any of the seemingly ever increasing number of their employees who post here - I partially understand the motives, but still. What I do have a problem with is the increasing persistence of some individuals to minimize the effect and voice of some posters because it seems that this forum has turned into an advertising machine for a very specific group that is doing whatever possible to minimize the effects of paid advertising for another group.........

While I pay for my listing (and I will continue to do so for as long as the forum owners let me), it seems that there is an ever increasing number of completely non-existent individuals who simply choose to appear (poof - as one movie character would put it) out of the blue and advertise here. You know what I mean, people claiming to have written for 20 odd years and yet there exists not a trace of their online history, nada, nix, zilch. If you look up some writers who advertise here, however, you'll find a lot of info, you can even find their names and addresses - simply because their identities got mixed with their online handle.

Now, call me crazy, but it seems almost as if the actual freelance writers who advertise here are competing with several whales acting as little fish.....And the whales get all flustered when the little fish dare to argue that customers may prefer writers over companies for a number of specific reasons. Even though it is completely true, just as it is true that there is a very big portion of customers who will always turn to companies for very specific reasons - and both of these are fine (or at least they should be).

Anonymity and confidentiality are words that are hard to apply in this business. When you deal with companies that use tracking services and plant cookies into your browser when you click on their site, you can't really expect their TOS and other empty promises to mean something. They are tracking you whether you know it or not. They will use the anonymous or non-identifiable information they got from you, with or without your permission. It's all about data collection, which will eventually be for sale to the highest bidder. No, your anonymity and confidentiality are not guaranteed when you deal with an essay writing service. However, dealing directly with a writer, who does not accept your work order through forms on a website is a different deal altogether. If you deal with a writer who still uses old school emails to exchange information with you, or even one of the VoIP programs out there, there is a good chance he will be out to protect your data. Any other form of order confirmation will be risky. Don't expect the writer to protect your information. Do what you can to protect your information. It's the safest thing for you to do.

If you do business with a legitimate writer who has built up an excellent reputation over more than a decade on this forum, you don't need to worry about your personal information being misused.
