Plagiarism Scanner, PlagiarismDetect

Hey, ive been working on a plagiarism scanner and wanted to stop by and introduce myself :) Its not done so dont look at this as spam but I just wanted to get some feedback on features that writers and students would look for. Im trying to make it similar to turnitin so the accuracy is my main focus. O yea im a highschool student in Houston tx so hello from the states :)

Also I read about the plagiarism detect thing and thought ide post an email i got from "Jeffrey" the other day soliciting for money-

Dear !

First of all I would like to thank you for your support and email praising my plagiarism detection system.

Thank you to the people who supported me, and made it possible to make improvements to the system.

I feel obliged to say, that am still working on some major improvements, on a new plagiarism detection algorithm particularly. Soon enough we will have a new algorithm, which will help define plagiarism with much more accuracy.

The last time I asked for donations my bank account blocked all of them, and all donations were returned to their owners. I dropped the ball there, but fixed it asap. And even though no money was donated - I improved the system as promised.

This time everything is ok, and I hope you can assist me in improving the system by donating only $2. This money will be spent wisely on the system improvement.

DONATE $2.00 to PlagiarismDetect.com <paypal/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=info@plagiarismdetect.com&item_name=DonationForPlagiarismDetect&amount=2.00&tax=0&currency_code= USD&lc=US&bn=PP-DonationsBF&charset=UTF-8>

or more - will be very helpfull

I hope each and every student will use my system for his/her convenience. As long as I have people who need this system it will remain open and FREE.

Yours Truly,
Jeffrey

Watch "Video FAQ from Jeffrey Smith" </video-faq.php>

"Jeffrey Smith" is a fraud who is actually the owner of essay mills located in Ukraine, including CustomWritings.com. He's trying to play on both sides of the fence.

For a good laugh, listen to his little speech in broken English:
plagiarismdetect.com/video-faq.php

Who does this Ukrainian crook think he's fooling with the fake, American name of "Jeffrey Smith"? What a d-bag.

i dont want to start up a bash thread but its a good laugh lol. For a writing service he tends to avoid linking verbs.

but about my project, is there anything you would want or look for in a plagiarism scanner? I have some ideas but wanted to get some public feedback on what they would want or look for.

First of all, will it be a completely free service?

Strong privacy statement that the paper will not be used by you or your affiliates in any way now and in the future.

Students should know that when submitting their papers to any "anti-plagiarism" website, they risk the paper will be sold or used without their consent.

For now your oral statement that "you don't need our papers and won't use them" is a joke. Especially that you have connections to people who are storing and selling pre-written papers on their websites.

Yup


Yea got that covered too, dont want to get too indepth yet but there will be some benefits if you choose to store the paper in the db. Thought about that with turnitin as well so when you submit a paper theres a check box for permission to store it in the database or not.

Such as? A checkbox won't help if you sell the paper 1-2 years from the submission date.

Well im thinking of doing a credit system. The system is more thorough than a simple google query so ive been having trouble figuring out the best way to keep it free while covering server costs. One of my ideas is if the user chooses to store the paper in the db, they get extra submissions per month. This makes it easier to find pre written papers.

Not sure the best way of ensuring there privacy etc. besides being transparent on my end and putting it in writing in the privacy policy.

Dear WritersBeware,

My name is Jeffrey Smith, and I am the head of the project named "Plagiarismdetect.com"

First of all , I am waiting for your apologies referring to me as a "d bag", you know this is impolite, and is no way to talk to me or about me.

Second: You can search my website, there isn't a single word mentioning me being American, whatsoever.

Third: You know that the owner of Customwritings.com, you had a rather unpleasant conversation with him on a different topic, so why do you keep writing that Jeffrey is the owner?

WritersBeware, if you don't have anything else to do, but write false and offensive statements about others, lets just open a new topic "Pick a hobby for WritersBeware", and together, we'll be able to solve this problem

Last, you claim that PlagiarismDetect.com is a scam? If yes - you must be out of your mind. To prove this I am posting a rather long list of testimonials, that were sent to my email. These people were not asked to write them, they did that because they wanted to:

G'day! Smith...

I was just searching through a web for a good source where I can check my assignments for plagiarism. I am surprised to see that your website did a great job in the same. I really appreciate your efforts in interest of students and teachers as well...

Cheers!!!

Hi
I recently used your online Plagiarism Detect site and was pleased with the results -- it picked up a couple of instances of plagiarism that I had already been aware of.

The list is endless, and unfortunately I have more important things to do.

Moreover, if you find a single person, claiming that PlagiarismDetect.com is a faud - kindly introduce him here, and I would gladly discuss the way my system has harmed him.

Upon your request, I would gladly contact anyone, who has posted his testimonial about my system, and ask him to verify.

So, when you write things here, kindly check your information, and be careful not to offend anyone, because someone might sue you for slander.

I'm not talking about me right now, because I have a lot more interesting things to do, than to deal with small people like yourself.

Good day!

Yours Truly,
Jeffrey Smith

Dear Writers Beware,
please provide some argumentation on this issue, as right now you seem to be just a person who is pissed at the whole world. Kindly prove that PlagiarismDetect.com is a scam.

I thank you in advance for your brief response.

Yours Truly,
Jeffrey

Jeffrey, you are a PROVEN fraud. Please don't make me rehash all of the scams of CustomWritings.com and your blatant attempt to defraud customers by posing as a "happy customer of CustomWritings.com."

PlagiarismDetect.com = CustomWritings.com = SCAM

Tell me, Jeffrey, why don't you make it perfectly clear on the PlagiarismDetect.com site that you also own the essay ripoff site from Ukraine, CustomWritings.com?

Look, WritersBeware, I am getting tired of your stupid stubborness. Just re-read all the threads about me and customwritings.com and understand with your little head that I do not own customwritings.com, never did and never will.

And also - if you prove that plagiarismdetect.com is a fraud - than we will continue this discussion.

WritersBeware - I am waiting for specific evidence.

PlagiarismDetect.com gleefully advertises CustomWritings.com, a verifiably fraudulent essay ripoff site from Ukraine. Both sites are hosted on the exact same server. PlagiarismDetect.com was obviously created as a means to advertise CustomWritings.com.

By "you," I obviously mean you, personally, and/or your "comrades" from Mother Russia.

Go screw yourself, Ukrainian fraud. I've already proven that you are a liar and deceiver. You don't deserve further "conversation" with me. Be gone, loser.

"Oops, I did it again . . . ."

Aside from the nearly identical design of PlagiarismDetect.com to fraudulent essay sites, along with the fact that the PlagiarismDetect.com HOME PAGE proudly links to fraudulent CustomWritings.com, here is further proof that PlagiarismDetect.com has the exact same owners at CustomWritings.com and other essay ripoff sites:

img134.imageshack.us/img134/2274/plagiarismdetectcomcustnr6.jpg

Oh, darn, I'm not finished!

Plagiarismdetect.com shares the EXACT SAME IP address (72.232.57.89) with delegateyourpaper.com, a new essay ripoff site that uses an obvious Ukrainian impostor to pose as "Perry from California" in a video testimonial. The Ukrainian accent is HILARIOUS!

domaintools.com/reverse-ip/?hostname=72.232.57.89

Just in case something conveniently "changes," here is a screen capture that I took on January 2, 2009:

img134.imageshack.us/img134/7798/delegateyourpapercomplagd1.jpg

Long time, no post!

Remember that 72.232.57.89 IP address? Would you believe that it is based in--of all places--UKRAINE? What an amazing coincidence!

Think about it--why in the world would essay peddlers from Ukraine create an "anti-essay peddler" site? More importantly, why would any student in his/her right mind upload his/her essay or paper to be "scanned" by proven liars who fraudulently posed in this forum as a "happy customer of CustomWritings.com" and live double lives SELLING ESSAYS? Obviously, students shouldn't be surprised if the papers they uploaded for a "plagiarism scan" a few months ago start appearing FOR SALE at CustomWritings.com and/or other essay sites that are verifiably associated with PlagiarismDetect.com. The track record of these people speaks volumes about their untrustworthiness and justifies my precautionary post.

Just my 2c, of course.

Wow, so many coincidences! Isn't it amazing that CustomWritings.com, PlagiarismDetect.com, and DelegateYourPaper.com are all hosted on the exact same or related servers in Kharkov, Kharkov, Ukraine?

Jeffrey, do you smell that? It's your bulls-i*.

No more smartass remarks, "Jeffrey" from Ukraine? LMAO!

Impressive...

Jeffrey!!!????

WB you are indeed genius!!! I Love how you spend your time to help towards the greater "GOOD"

Thank You!

You are quite welcome.

Check out the blatant deception from the same group:

gradingrocket.com

GradingRocket poses as an independent type of "ranking system" for essay-writing sites. That's a load of bull from the same Ukrainians who are associated with customwritings.com and PlagiarismDetect.com. As of July 31, 2009, each and every one of the sites that it praises as legitimate and "legal" are its own sites (those owned and/or operated by "Brownie Freelance Limited").

Director
Brownie Freelance Limited
Ukraine
partners@gradingrocket.com

The content and mission of GradingRocket.com are absolutely disgraceful and almost certainly illegal. A commercial enterprise cannot legally pose as an independent organization/service in order to promote its own properties, especially when the "positive reviews" of its own properties are based on unsubstantiated, superfluous criteria that the company itself created and have absolutely no independent oversight or confirmation.

Here is proof that uvocorp.com, customwritings.com, and GradingRocket.com are hosted on the exact same server.

GradingRocket.com

Wow, what a completely unexpected coincidence-GradingRocket.com has given CustomWriting.com the highest possible ranking as part of its "independent, third party" grading system.

Following is a public picture of a particular "Eugene" (may or may not be the one in question) from Kiev, Ukraine, courtesy of a public Twitter account:

essayscam.org/forum/shared_files/storage/main/eugene.jpg

twitter.com/yanovskyy

Definitive proof that GradingRocket is absolutely NOT an "independent, third party":

You are right WB...the guy looks like a d bag.

Hello everybody

Truth:
- I am Ukrainian
- I don't have any account on twitter nor do I have any other accounts in social networks
- I run Brownie Freelance Limited, a company registered in the UK, the support, development facilities located in Kiev Ukraine
- My company has no relation to PlagiarismDetect.com other then the fact that PlagiarismDetect is ran by the firm who also does SEO services for us

- We do not cheat, scam and otherwise defraud our customers
- Every testimonial on our web sites is real
- Lateness stats, quality scores, writers and other statistics on customwritings.com is real and is updated every 5 minutes in real time

GradingRocket.com is a joined effort of the two teams to create a positive alternative to EssayScam. It's not launched yet and is completely pre-alpha stage. There is no visitor traffic. Even our own web sites are NOT connected to it's system at the moment, despite the fact they are listed on the front page. As soon as this system launches in beta, there will be a public announcement on our corporate web site browniecorp.co.uk

Have a nice day and hope I've made everything clear.

P.S.
I never posted anything online under Jeffrey Smith, this is completely another person, as I've told before. I am not responsible for anything that he posts anywhere online.

WritersBeware, anything else we need to settle here?

What about our registered office address in London that troubles you so much? You will never find me nor any other employee at that address. Anything else you want to know about me, my company and our web sites?

What I am sorry about, is that you, WritersBeware, make me post to a forum where every nameless dog can call me a d--e bag and fraud in public without any chance for me to make this person liable for what they say.

I will not post anything about GradingRocket.com here, but

a) will bring your attention to the fact that most of the content on the site is DUMMY content placed for the sake of software and usability tests.

if you actually READ our corporate web site, browniecorp.co.uk, you will notice that GradingRocket is put into "in development" section, whilst the other sites are released.

b) declare our intention to build a system that would allow a positive cooperation between the market members and ensure collection of RELEVANT, REAL and MEASURABLE data on how well are the customers protected against fraud

For now I will ask the development crew to put a huge clearly visible disclaimer on the site so that to not mislead anyone.

...so much to go through, but I have little time. I do hope WB goes through the lies for everyone about you. I can see two right off the bat.

I am strongly convinced about the fact that speculations on the domain owners change, registered office adresses, website content mistakes and nationalities of business owners and their possible connections with some anonymous postings and profiles on the anonymous sites on the Internet have nothing to do with how well are the customers served and how good the company keeps it's promise.

I am not happy with how far the speculations and prejudices of this forum's users go in ruining my personal and my companie's reputation on the web, but judging on the fact that many people take the content they see on forums like this seriously, I am forced to enter the confrontation and do my best to save both here in public.

I think you are doing that just fine by yourself. How can you seriously have a reputable company that writes English essays when it is obvious you lack high enough skill in that department?

WritersBeware, how are you sure you do not create trouble for the person on the photo you posted under my name? Do you have any right to do so, whatsoever? Did this person authorize you to post his photo on the internet?

THe obvious answer is NO.

I am not sure if I am a fraud, but obviously, YOU ARE DEFINITELY A FRAUD YOURSELF.


This is just another pitiful speculation this forum is full of. And I will explain why.

I do not write essays myself, just in case this is not obvious. Furthermore, I do not hire the writers myself. I do not evaluate their test assignments myself. Neither do I even answer customer's calls.

My english profeciency level is just high enough to communicate my points well enough to the members of our international team.

Does this ring a bell?

What?? Can somebody decipher what is going on in this dude's head?


But it is good enough to act as the spokesman against allegations of fraud and dishonesty? Are you serious? Is this business a lemonade stand you are trying to run? Get out of here.

Mre do you have at least some basic idea on how commercial organizations are managed? The chain of command, delegation of skill and responsibility?

Ever heard of basic business management success principles such as "always hire people who are smarter then you"?

I think you might need to google for "division of labor", this concept is more then 2 thousand years old i believe.

Ever took the History classes in school? Ever graduated from school at all?

mre


I do what I can. Pardon my English. There is no special spokesperson on our staff.


I am afraid I am in this business already, you like it or not.

MRE do you by chance want to accept responsibility for what you say and discover your real credentials?

What the hell does this mean? You sound like some weird scholastic cultist.

Somebody ban this member already. He is the owner of a known fraud site and is on here pontificating how great and demure he can be. Seriously...I believe you belong in jail.


I guarantee I have more schooling than you and all of your "writers" combined. What schooling do you have? Doctorate? 5 degrees? What cha got?

o.O

....with Emirates? :D

This is pointless indeed. More schooling then me and 2000 other people including oxford professors combined. Someone ban me please from this forum :)

someone contact the moderator; this is obviously an emergency.

This means WHO ARE YOU? :)

also-- someone obviously doesn't realize that plagiarism detection side-use of databases actually just winds up hurting the writer. I would like to find a hacker to bring down turnitin.com. it is a greedy business to be double dealing in, when it basically ***** your employees. why don't you get with it, and start ******* the customers?

Lol @ rusty, applause, are you a writer yourself?

When I see the happy people who just care about their own interest in life I start to envy

because when you spend half of your ******* life trying to satisfy everyone else, you end up with your name ******* devastated on the internet by a bunch of losers who think they are carma police

2000, plus oxford professors...and you charge those cheap rates. I guess Oxford pays minimum wage nowadays huh? You are a fraud and a liar and you deserve jail. You have no 2000 writers. You have no oxford professors. You need to burn.

Just so my opines will come up in the search results when unsuspecting searchers start looking:

customwritings.com is a fraud.
gradingrocket.com is a fraud.
He is a fraud and needs to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.
browniecorp.co.uk is a fraud.

Did I get all of them?

where is the CNN intern when you need them?

Do you have a clue? The obvious answer is "no."

You, sir, are an idiot.

The photo was published in the public domain on a public Twitter account, and I acknowledged the source. I also acknowledged the possibility that the person in the photo may not be you.

I just can't wait for you to post evidence that I am, in any way, a "fraud." So many mr-ns promise such evidence, but none deliver. Why is that, do you think?

Bottom line: you LIE on GradingRocket.com about being an unbiased "third party" in order to dishonestly list and laud (look it up) your OWN sites, one of which, CustomWritings.com, you just admitted to owning. You have no intention whatsoever to honestly list sites that you do not own, unless, of course, you plan to violate the US Federal Lanham Act by giving them low ratings (defaming them).


Wow.

Where on GradingRocket.com did you find "third party"?

It only says that we gonna verify the testimonials as the third party (that is, for the sites we don't run)
Quote:
"Verified testimonials, Verified testimonials database - GradingRocket is a third party who verifies if the testimony left is real "

We will introduce the system to all the writing services on the web and it's gonna be free for them. Our web sites are listed there only because we haven't launched this project yet.

When we launch this project - you will know it, by the amount of visitor traffic, which is now zero.

WritersBeware


The fact is that the person on the photo is me. And I have never opened a twitter account in my life.

You have just redistributed a stolen image.

And I have all rights to sue you for damages now. Pity that you will never tell me who YOU are.
= you are a fraud, not me.

Accept the truth.

If you wish, we can really apply for a third party escrow whom you trust and whom I will let into our database to see how many writers we have and count the actual rating scores from our customers.

At the moment you are stating that I lie about the number of writers based on nothing. How in the world do you guys know how many writers we have?

And by the way, you can always check the real time statistics on our web site front page. There are about 1300 something active writers, and more then 3000 on the database. Where did you take 2000 figure from? From my 1-year old posts?

As for GradingRocket, just wait until the site populates with big documents on how it works.

I have already an agreement with at least 1 of our competition who will join gradingrocket as soon as we launch it in pubic.


If i give you the phone number of at least 1 oxford professor who workes of worked for us, will you publicly accept your mistake? I believe he will have no problem telling you why he does that, if I ask him and you promise this information will not be passed to a media.

I remember myself surprized just about the same way like you when I saw a resume of this kind in our database. But this is a fact.

I definitely need an escrow to resolve a ******** of such.

essayscam/forum/ot/need-agent-defend-us-forum-customwritings-com-etc-1202/

I need someone from this forum (who will be definitely NOT one of my crew) to be allowed into our internal data and stats.

I am even ready to pay it's persons trip to Kiev or to London. Because at this moment this is just throwing sh_it over the wall, not a constructive dialogue.

Hmm... I need to introduce a small fix to the message. I was speaking about retired oxford professor. I am almost sure that we don't have any CURRENT oxford professors on our active writers list at the moment.

But that does not make our service level less, I believe.


We have this intention, only for the sites who willingly join the project. If not enough competitors join it, we will close down this project completely.

I will ask the development crew to put a SPECIAL disclaimer on GR site saying "THESE SITES ARE OURS" or something like this.

So that not to suffer from "small print fraud" insinuations from you later.

Sure thing...it is not defamation if it is the truth. Also...even if it is not the truth (which I doubt) I was careful to introduce opinion only.

I know the law. I didn't go to law school and pass the bar for nothing.

You know I definitely must thank all of you, because you have pointed out how serious these little details may be

And the level of responsibility I should expect from my staff and partners

I definitely need a consultant whom I will pay for kicking my own ass

Because at this moment this is not fair that you guys do this job for free

Mre, you look like falling into the same trap that i do
I believe opinions expressed on the web are still legally binding - even if you put three disclaimers that those are just a random set of letters which just happened to form an insult

And trust me, I remember at least one retired English Literature professor from oxford who worked for us in 2006, at the time when I checked every resume myself

I believe now when there are 3000 writers on the database instead of 25, the chances are bigger - this is why I have said "professorS" instead of "professor"

but i must admit this is only a presumption - that there are more of those

I was actually going to say that "there are very very very educated people among our writers, and unless you've got a Nobel prize recently, you can't say you're smarter then all of them"

THIS is a correct rephrase of my earlier statement

Mre, are you sure I can spam my opinion freely around, just saying "it's only my opinion" without any legal liability for it's message?

I start laughing at myself, because essayscam turns out to be a very useful web site in the end :)) That is, if you put your emotions aside

When you become too figurative and too emotional, you lose concentration and this does not help to communicate your message

Aren't there "get your message across" for "communicate" and "ring the bell" for "seem familiar" idioms in English?

I'm using them for all my life, and no one ever told me they are nonsense. Is it you or me, MRE?

Did you just admit that you found it surprising that one professor from Oxford was applying to your company?


Wait.. so this:


is true? ^_^
