Professional Essay Industry Spammers (advertising in disguise)

There are several types of essay website / essay service spammers who post on different forums and blogs. Below are the most notorious ones:

Write to Advertise- Posing as a satisfied client. Register as a "Student" (in the Country field select a Western country so that you are taken more seriously) and post something positive about a writing service you are trying to promote. You may mention it was your "friend" who recommended the service to you and you have absolutely no interest in promoting it so that it sounds more believable.

- Posing as a satisfied writer. Register as a "Writer" and mention the website you promote has always paid you on time and without any problems. It may not be true, but you have a dozen of writers believing your story (until the truth comes out).

- Asking a question about a writing website. Register as a "Student" and ask the community if they have ever heard about a particular writing service. Most of the experienced members scratch their head when they read the website's name because they have never heard about the website and it is not listed on EssayDirectory.com or even on Google. But by asking the question, you may count on some unsuspecting students to order from the website because it still has no positive/negative reviews.

- Comparing your website to other established services. If you have a new website that has no established reputation or no visitors, register as a "Student" or "Writer" and mention your website's name together with a couple of established websites. You may compare a Volga to a BMW, but unsuspecting clients may not initially notice the difference.

Are there any other examples of "advertising in disguise" in the academic research industry?

- Beware of African fraudsters (especially from Kenya) who register multiple and anomymous email accounts (@gmail, @yahoo, @live.com, @hotmail, @outlook etc) and pose as legitimate writers from the US or UK.

@gmail, @yahoo, @live.com, @hotmail, @outlook

Many of us legit writers also have similar accounts. I have hotmail account and I am in the USA. I do not need a website, I work directly with clients, you cannot judge the writer just because he has gmail or hotmail.

But it doesn't change the fact writers who use an anonymous email account are HIGH-RISK writers. You know nothing about them because you have no way of veryfying their real name or location. Scammers from all over the world register emails like dr.john.edwards@gmail and some students still believe they talk to Dr. John Edwards (who, in fact, is a Kenyan fraudster with a high-school diploma).

I wouldn't give them that much credit.

You only possess a weak degree in English and some funny training in 'American literature'(whatever that means) and, therefore, you lack the authority to besmirch other people's qualifications.

FYI, i had a teaching stint in Kenya and i can tell you their educational system is quite up to 'international standards'.
The only factor that saves the US Educational System is the bright foreigners who move to study in the country, stick there , and become well established scholars and researchers. Majority of Americans are simply too 'Hollywoodised' and 'McDonaldised'(read fat and intellectually lazy) to excel in technical fields. That is why you could only obtain a 'degree' in English which basically means you are another intellectually incompetent.

That also explains why all your technical jobs are being done by Chinese, Indians, and other bright fellows.

Hoodwink: "Hood" goes back to old German and Anglo Saxon, in which it referred to head covering, as in hat, hood, helmet, etc.; "wink," in the same languages, meant to close the eyes, "wench," "wince," etc., being similarly derived. A hoodwink was therefore a headdress designed to cover the eyes. The popular use of the word is believed to go back to the old sport of falconry, once so popular, in which the falcon had a hood over its eyes until ready to strike at its prey.

"The requested URL /hoodwink.html was not found on this server."

You may remove the hoodwink and provide the link again. Nevermind!

I'm sorry that you find it so offensive that I post in complete, grammatically correct English sentences and I apologize for antagonizing you that way. Like everyone else, I just post my thoughts and opinions here. Unlike you, I don't have any reason to start unprovoked attacks against anybody and I maintain a mutually respectful relationship with all of my legitimate competitors. My suggestion to you is to worry more about (and work on) your own writing skills and just try to compete that way instead of by attacking others just because they can express themselves fairly articulately in their posts.

Luckily, once you sign in, his signitature is not seen(ha ha ha ha ha ha aha)

Actually, if you're having trouble seeing anybody's signature, you just need to make sure that your account setting is set to display all signatures (from anybody who has one, not just mine, obviously). Since you find signatures so offensive, you should probably just leave your settings the way they are.

The writer pretty much covered all of the disguises that the shills use to get around the no-advertising or recommendations allowed ruling of the forum. These people all come to the forum on a regular basis, and always get chased out because they do not know how to deal with the independent writers here. Eventually, this forum will be populated by a gang of writers who believe that this place is their dominion and even legitimate companies and writers will no longer have a place here. They've gotten too used to bullying the other users who may pose a threat to their independent writing gigs. This forum will no longer be a place for free speech and free enterprise, they will see to it.

He hasn't stopped his spamming practices related to trying to direct thread conversations solely to focus on him and his self-over inflated ego. He heaps self praise on himself while referring to nameless new and regular clients as having said it . No way to confirm what he says and claims.

He claims to prevent the same people from posting the extremely positive work experiences with him at this forum. There was one client last year who did that. He had the mods delete the entire post for some reason. It could not have been just about the price posted and how it differs pll client as he claimed. He could have had just that part removed. My guess? He probably paid for the review then changed his mind and decided not to pay for it. Maybe he wasn't satisfied with the content. Yes, there are some paid reviews at this forum so do not believe anything written about writers here, be it positive or negative. Do your own investigating before hiring. We can only offer words of caution. The rest is up to you. comments and reviews could very well be spam.

Freelancewriter for one does not have any updated reviews here, just ancient ones. His most recent work reviews are comments he writes about himself from his nameless satisfied clients. That is worse than board spamming if you ask me. I could never really figue out why.

Of course he will make a long written rant in response to my post. Just remember, it in self-promoting spam on his part. He absolutely hates being criticized and/or questioned. Specially about his skills and clients. Clients ? There are no real clients to speak of. There just isn't any evidence of that. Even email ( screenshots specially) can be manufactured to suit his means.
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.

Nope. Here's the thread where you first made that totally false claim last year, and never responded, much less apologized, after I showed you the original post, right where it was first posted, followed by the link to the actual thread where the post about which you're lying (again) was originally posted and from where it was never removed; only the price of the project was edited out by admin, at my request: https://essayscam.org/forum/gt/covid-impact-academic-writing-6579/#msg85870

This is the thread and the original post to which you're referring: https://essayscam.org/forum/es/experience-nycfreelancewriter-6683/

He had the mods delete the entire post for some reason. It could not have been just about the price posted and how it differs pll client as he claimed. He could have had just that part removed.

That happens to be exactly what I did: I simply asked the mods to remove only the price that my (real) client had originally posted. The rest of that post is right where it's always been: https://essayscam.org/forum/es/experience-nycfreelancewriter-6683/

Freelancewriter for one does not have any updated reviews here, just ancient ones.

Says the guy who's made a career of responding to 10-year-old threads here, such as this one, and of "responding" to posters who were last active on this forum in 2013.

Here, below, is what you posted at the time, which happens to be what you really think of my work and my hard-earned reputation on this forum, since 2008, for my excellent work. The only thing that changed since then is that you took tremendous offense at my comment that your excellent ESL writing is, nevertheless, still recognizabe as ESL writing. The fact that you've devoted yourself to falsely disparaging me and to posting outright lies (and repeating them, even after the evidence proving they're lies has been clearly posted) about a writer you know is totally legit and extremely good demonstrates only how petty and incredibly insecure you are and that you have zero integrity, whatsoever.

This is what I've been talking about. Quality papers come at a hefty price tag. The reputation of the writer dictates his degree of reliability and customer care.

This review should help put the other students looking for a writer at ease. One more positive review, another satisfied client, one more reason to trust the reviews for specific writers at this forum.

One need look no further for reliable premium writer services.
