Still no change from the crooks.

Maybe we should stop blaming the crooks who are just taking advantage of the services offered by other crooks. Those who sell fake addresses online. You can easily get a fake address and phone number in the black market. It is a common practice among the people engaged in questionable online businesses. These are the people who take advantage of a niche market and service their needs to help give their businesses a sense of legality and identity. They are both criminals, but I believe the ones providing the fake addresses carry more guilt in this case.

Well, I am not sure when, but this company went out of business precisely because of the writing quality they produce. Those who still remember using the site referred to a high school level of writing on the part of the writers. They did do their best to write at college level but unfortunately, they were only of high school education themselves. So you can see where the problem with their writers came from. The company was run on a limited budget and eventually, it got too expensive for them to keep the writers paid since the work was often refunded and the client base failed to grow. It appears that the company disappeared without paying their writers before shutting down. There were also pending order that remained non-refunded because the company owners decided to run with whatever little money they could scrape together, even if it meant stealing from their clients.

I buy online every week and have never seen a company to REQUIRE to send you anything!

The problem is that the criminals have become internationally based already. They have digitized their criminal acts and that extends to using stolen credit card information to commit online crimes related to fraud. I can understand why the company would require verification of the identity of the student. Hell, even my food delivery guy takes a picture of the item he has delivered to me just to make sure I won't file a chargeback on him for non delivered goods. See the point? The company is just protecting itself from unjust claims.

then again how can I make sure i don't get scammed by them as well ?

The independent writers here have been around for decades. They have ample work experience with various direct hire clients at this company and they have the testimonials all over this forum to prove they are not scams. You can rely on them, specially the featured writers and anybody you hire from the EssayBrand, EssayChat, and other hiring links you find at this forum. You cannot go wrong. They are not scams, although they do tend to argue even about that. Hahaha !

they keep asking for more money to delivered my essay(service charge.. etc..).

There is a one time billing statement that is sent to you when you place your order. That contains a detailed listing of all the charges the company requires to complete the order. The company is not legally allowed to keep moving the goalpost when it comes to the actual cost of the paper. They cannot charge you for extra sales that were not included in the original agreement. You should not have paid those fees. There was no legal basis for the additional costing.

i've called the number so many times and all it was always a voicemail recording..it drive me crazy..

So stop calling them. This is precisely the reason why paying by bank transfer is never a good idea. You cannot file a chargeback through this transfer process. You should have realized that there was a problem when they told you they were going to charge you 4% extra for a card payment. Maybe you did not know that extra charges tacked onto credit card transactions is against the law? The cash price is the same as the card price. They cannot add charges unless you are paying on an installment basis, which the writing companies do not agree to.

General Talk / About Grading Papers.. [60]

valid evaluations of academic writing?

I would like to believe so. They are, after all, the exact audience that the papers we write are meant for. Their evaluation of the content, relevance, and sources reflects the ability of the writer to go a good job. Why? It isn't easy to please these professors. They find any excuse to deduct a point or two from the paper that, if the student did not request revisions for upon submission, satisfied the academic requirements or personal requirements of the student. Now, while there are really some professors who just cannot be satisfied, they normally do not take it out on the written paper. They just feel the student / writer can still do better. So that indicates a potential or room for improvement on the writer's side. Writer's never stop learning and the grade, as a method of evaluation for the writer skills, will reflect the additional training that the writer needs to further improve his skills.

I may also have to decline for legal reasons.

Well, if you are not willing to risk legal proceedings, I do not see how you would be able to satisfy the inquiry of the students here. Their questions always border on the legality of the TOS and payment rules. Questions that you will most likely decline to respond to. Based on the information you have provided, it seems like you are still trying to cover your hiny in case they sue you. I do not understand what your intention was in coming here if you could not offer any real help. You don't seem like you are trying to create a client base for yourself so you can continue a writing career.

I asked the reason of charging 30% for nothing

It did not occur to you that you could easily file a chargeback claim through your payment provider? Do not accept any excuses. If you did not file to get the 30% payment back, then you are the sucker they were looking for. You must lean in on such companies to force a refund of any sort. While you might not get the full amount back, they will be forced to give you some of the money, maybe 10%, if you threaten them properly.

4writers does pay their writers, eventually. Do not rely on them for a regular income stream even if you work regularly for them. The company delays payments using every excuse that they can find. You may want to line up at least 3 companies to work for, it you cannot find employment with a reputable writing company because you need a fallback in case your salary gets delayed. Although the experiences of the writers will vary when it comes to receiving your salary, it is best to hedge on the side of caution and assume that since clients complain about the company, then the writers complain as well. They treat the clients the same way they treat their writers.

Students have to keep in mind that their deadline is hard-set and therefore, the communication schedule of the writing company should be reliant on the time-frame that the student sets. That means, if the student places an order with a 4 day deadline, he should expect communication from his writer within 24 hours, the paper should be turned in no later than 72 hours later to allow for revision requests. If the student has not heard back from the company or writer within 48 hours, it is time to cancel the order, put a stop payment on it, or do a chargeback. Look for another company. Your paper is definitely going to miss the deadline. That seems to be the scheduling system for the scam companies so the students should be aware of the timing scam the companies try to pull on the students.

It is difficult to tell because the asiawriters has totally shut down and the domain name is once again available for sale. The other company, essaywriting.net, has too much information redacted under the protection of godaddy for anybody to be able to tell if the 2 companies have any similarities based on historical records. My guess is that there may be a similarity in ownership since it is very easy to change domain names and cover your tracks. Just let the domain name become available again and anybody will have a difficult time connecting the dots between the two companies.

Customwritings and Custompapers are the same company.

You are right, they are not. The former is a well known scam that intentionally misleads the students by using a similar sounding name to Custompapers.com. The other, is a legitimate company with truly ENL writers on staff. They conduct their business legally and have been doing so for a very long time now. Their name is trustworthy as you can see by the banner advertisement for this academic site on this forum. That should be more than enough to give any student the comfort and knowledge that their paper will be written according to requirements at all times (if not most of the time due to certain instruction miscommunication).

There are claims that the writers of this company come out of China, India, or some ESL related country. Even worse, it appears that the writers have only an elementary ESL grasp of the language, leading to failed papers. The company has not even tried to hire somewhat skilled writers at this point. The owners are already satisfied with scamming their clients at every step, never giving refunds nor revisions. It is a company that proudly announces it is a scam. So beware of hiring them, you will definitely get scammed.

what happens to HUNDREDS of fraudulent essay sites when the American legal system and all major search engines finally drop the hammer.

I often ask myself this very question and I have yet to see any evidence of justice being served to these fraudulent scammers. There is no report that these companies ever paid a price for the way they do business. They just close shop and open under a different name and incorporation. The law will be highly difficult to impose on the company because there is no reality to the way they exist. The virtual world they exist in practically assures them of that protection.

Writing Careers / Academia Solutions: any info? [7]

is it wise to sign up to two or more agencies - or is it more common for a freelancer to be allied to one site?

A freelancer is not tied down to any single company. You can moonlight for as many companies as you wish. The beauty of the job is that you can either go the direct hire routine, or sign up with several companies. It all depends upon which method of finding clients appeals the most to you. If you are a newbie, it is always better to go with an agency first because that eliminates the first time jitters when trying to secure clients. As your skills and reputation grows, then you can begin to branch out until you are no longer connected with any agencies (if you do not wish to be).

who are better scammers? Who are worse in English?

I can't really pick one over the other. They are equally bad in English writing and equally skilled in scamming students. You might say that the Ukrainians taught their Kenyan counterparts. Let us not forget that the Ukrainians were the first to hire Kenyan writers since they would accept peanuts for wages and work hard even under undesirable situations and unfair treatment. When the Kenyans learned enough, they struck out on their own using the same business model. This time, they were the abusers of other third world located writers.

i want to know how can i find a good writing company

Well, you definitely cannot find it by asking for references here. You could reach out the companies that advertise at this forum. They would be your best bet since they have a long-standing relationship with the owners of this company and have been recommended based on student rating and background checks by the fact checkers of this forum. Do not take non-authoritative recommendations because there may be problems with that such as the person making the recommendation getting a percentage of your fees upon your payment for the services, or losing private information to the companies due to the direct contact relationship you will have with them.

@stu4

The writing is definitely ESL and did not pass through an ENL proofreader. What ever made you think that it was a good second rate example of ESL writing? It is one of the worst presentations I have ever read at this forum. It will only pass as a beginner ESL presentation. Whoever wrote this should be sent back to English grammar school. If he is ESL, he should be given a failing grade and his certification withheld.

Did you not notice the grammatical errors and sentence structure problems in your own presentation? You do not even know that you need to capitalize the first word of a sentence after a period. That does not instill confidence in Kenyans as writers within anyone. It does prove that Kenyans are no better than the low level educated Indians who work as academic writers. Why do I specifically mention low level educated Indians? There are Indians who are highly proficient in English. They go to expat schools, attend UK and USA universities for college, and continue on to masters and PhD degrees within their profession. They are notable people, specially in the field of medical research. They are so highly educated and well versed in the use of the English language, both the UK and USA types, that they will never be working as academic writers. That is simply beneath them.

Don't take our word for it. Don't ask us what we think. If you want to know if the company is worth parting your money from you, then hire the company to find out. How will you know if the company is worth every penny if you do not at least, give the a try? You already know that there is a competition among independent writers and companies here. So what makes you think that you can get usable and trustworthy recommendations from anybody or any company representative here? You know the idiom "A fool and his money are soon parted" right?

The greatest time frame and study schedule can easily be derailed by an unforeseen circumstance. A death in the family, the crash of a computer, and act of god (if you believe in that sort of thing). Consider yourself lucky. You never needed to seek professional writing help because you never had a situation that required you to do so.

When the company claims to have been in business since 1969, but then got its domain registration in 2001, there is a clear discrepancy in the information provided. I mean, the business may have been started by someone in 1969, but it definitely isn't this Jim Kulk. He would be too old to be running the company as a single prop by now or, he would be dead.

If you investigate deep enough, you will find something wrong even with the independent writers at this forum. You cannot trust ranking lists no matter where you find it. That is because the rankings are often influenced by money. The more a company is willing to pay, the better their ranking in the public listings. Unlike at this forum where they pay to advertise, but their money and advertisement is refused if the vetting system shows some questions about the credibility of the company or, if the company comes up as a negative in the reputation investigation.

Legitimate organizations will not hire independent writers or writing companies to complete their work or documentation. As FLW can attest, proper organizations have writers on staff who job is to complete their written work. Any "organization" that would hire outside of the org is definitely questionable. The organizations tend to consider their information, files, and documents to be top secret so they would not normally let someone outside of the circle of trust to gain hold of delicate information. These "organizations" are by default scams, based on how they function and require the writers to complete the work for them.

I have to upload an order for a client within less than 24 hours.

When these types of problems occur, the company should have alternative upload means for the writer. There needs to be a redundant system to help with the upload. In my case, I have the company on a private messaging link to the writers via Messenger and Viber. When they cannot upload a file through the normal system. the writer assistant is always on hand via chat to receive the file upload, for passing on to the client. They also upload the paper to the server as soon as the system goes back online. It is the duty of the writer assistant to mark the order as completed in the system so the writer can be paid for the work during the next payment cycle.

Competent writers work directly with their clients - no middle men or sites!

I have to disagree with you on that. There are some competent writers who do not have means to begin garnering clients on their own. They prefer to work with a writing company so that they won't have difficulties when it comes to sourcing orders or growing their client base. They do not always mind having middle men due to the benefits the middle man brings to the table. The problem is the company. Their greed when it comes to income makes them open up complicated papers to their general writers who are still not experienced enough to complete such writing tasks.

The problem, is that in order to discuss the few legitimate sites out there openly, the rule is, they have to pay to advertise their site at this forum. That way the owners of the forum can look into the reliability of the service on both the student and writers side. Since that is not possible, it is useless to try to discuss any site on a positive note here. No recommendations allowed really sucks.

You'll get your refund, and we're not fraud.

Nice of them to lie and say you will get your refund. If they have to say they are not a fraud though, expect them to be. There is no such thing as the person in charge of refunds being out of the office. With the way technology works, even at that time, refunding remotely would not have been a problem. They just did not want to refund the money, yet. Maybe the payment was "invested" in time deposit certificates or something. Or maybe they were just outright lying. The only truth in this discussion is that the client did not get the $200 back.

paid for a distinction mark with this company and actually got a distinction

That is next to impossible for a writer to do. No company or independent writer who truly knows this business will make sure broad assurances in relation to potential grades. That is because the writer does not know the grading considerations your professor will be using on the paper. He is also not definitely sure that his writing style and the content of the research will merit the :distinction" mark. There are too many unknown variables for anybody to say they can definitely get you the grade that you want. Unless the can cheat the system and change your grade in the computer files.
