I heard that the writers decided to do this because it is the best way for them to get a PayPal account under "Services". Paypal has no problem paying writers through Ebay because that is their partner site. It gives the "Service" a sense of credibility because of the buyer and seller protection services the site has in place. Paypal also gives special considerations to the "services" acquired under the eBay banner. So, while the service and writer have seemingly legitimate identities, that still does not mean that the students should trust them without a hint of doubt. Always make sure to vet the service just the same.

Academia-Research seems to still be able to deliver enough satisfactory papers coming from their writers because the company still manages to stay in business. Though their server is no longer as filled with orders as in the past, they still have enough students coming in with papers to keep their business afloat. Perhaps that is the benefit of having several url's under one company umbrella. They manage to get enough work to spread across their writers pool. Although, they still have a problem with revision requests. From what I have heard, the student no longer settle for revisions, they ask for task reassignments instead, without having to pay for the new paper. It is instead, taken out of the pay of the previous writer as a penalty of up to 100% on their salary.

Exactly how were you supposed to do this? There is no actual office that you can visit. If they mean discussing your paper needs with the writer via PM or chat within the company server, that doesn't make them special. Almost all of the companies that offer academic writing services offer the same. While others offer client secretaries whose job is to be the communications middleman for the client and writer. I guess you did not really understand how the academic writing services worked within a company setting which is why you thought this promise, about meeting the writer, was something uniquely offered by the company.

I am starting to wonder exactly what *DND actually means for the forum admin and moderators. I mean, they said it means Do Not Discuss, yet the company name is mentioned and a whole thread is created to tackle the question hand regarding the company. So there is a discussion. The company is discussed, defeating the DND notation in relation to the company. What gives?

This is a question you should be asking your employer prior to signing the contract or a handshake deal to work for them. Stop asking us if the company pays. That is your responsibility to find out. If you pass through a proper employment interview, even if by phone, the question of the pay schedule will come up. Researching the company online will always clue you in on whether or not the company pays on time, if at all. If you are asking us this question, then that means you have your doubts about working for them. Always follow your gut feeling, it will never steer you wrong.

No. the company has to bear some of the risk being the middle man. After all, you can always reassign the paper to another writer and still get your hefty cut of the profits. Do not try to fool anyone. You are making is sound like you don't make a cent in the deal when the truth is, you get the lion's share of the profit. Your company can bear the full cost for the writer if you so choose to. The company yo work for an afford it.

Actually, if you are selling an intangible product such as a writing service, consultations, online lessons, and other similar services, Paypal now has a 21 day payment hold policy. This is a ruling that they have put into effect for non-tangible items to ensure that there will not be any chargeback claims or disputes filed on the bill. So Paypal does have a non-tangible sale buyer protection policy in place as of now.

No company or writer that is not a scam will assure you that they will complete the paper before you pay for it. A reliable independent writer will ask for at least 50% of the cost upfront, with the rest to follow before the paper is submitted to you, or whatever payment scheme you have agreed to. The same goes for the writing company. These are the companies and writers who are not going to simply do a cut and paste hack job on a paper, hence the pay after submission promise. Or, this could be a bait and switch where they will submit a different draft to you from the actual paper they will send after you have "approved" the "completed" draft.

CustomPapers.com is not, and will never be run by scammers. As personal friends of mine, I know that these people are on the level and dedicated to delivering on their promise of high quality papers to the students. The prices are high because they believe in paying their writers fairly for the work they are tasked to do. They are not slave drivers from the Ukraine or Nigeria, Pakistan, or elsewhere. They are one of the most efficient and trustworthy companies to be found online in this line of business.

When you personally know something about a company, you should do more for their defense. Your post was not convincing enough. Where is the evidence? While we know you cannot name names or cite sources, you can still somehow frame your defense of the company in a manner that offers evidence, without involving other people in the situation. All you did, was add fuel to the fire. If you cannot properly defend a company, it is best if you just keep silent. Learn how to mount a believable defense before you start typing.

I am sure he did not mean to be insulting. It is just that he felt the need to tell a truth as is known or understood by him. It is commonly known to us that WB tends to be exactly as described when he feels threatened by a newcomer to the forum so he should not be taking offense. The guy was only looking for some advice in relation to finding a job as a writer. Sure he may have gone overboard with his descriptions, but then again, he was probably trying to protect himself and trying to make himself seem like he can fight off the bullies. Think making yourself big when faced with a bear.

Yes, they have the same owner. The owners of the academic writing companies often branch out into other "relevant" businesses for themselves since they can see their server beginning to grow with "completed" work of other students. So they do their best to launch that into a new service. When necessary, they partner with other devious site owners to plagiarize other papers. It is illegal from our standpoint but for these criminals, there is nothing wrong with developing several scams stemming from one idea.

When they are not busy in-fighting and mudslinging one another, you will find that the independent writers listed at this forum are reputable and reliable. Their reputations often span decades upon decades of membership at this forum. Comments about their work satisfaction and other ratings considerations are readily available for your information at this forum. You may even contact them directly to work on your paper. Rest assured that when you hire an independent writer from this forum, you don't have to fear being scammed. The assurance comes from the vetting system that the forum administrators and moderators have set into place for the peace of mind of the students who come here looking precisely for that, reliable and trustworthy writers.

I agree. The student's don't seem to understand that the sources are optional for paper between 1-5 pages long. They always ask for sources and then, after the paper is submitted, ask for a revision because "I don't really need sources" or "This is a personal opinion paper" or some other explanation that should have told them they should have ticked the "No sources required" choice in the box for "Number of Sources".

It is nice to know that this company went out of business some time ago. It appears that although they were able to deliver the papers of their clients, the question of quality and frequency of refunds are what kept client base building students away. Since dealing with the writers proved to be problematic due to the non-direct communication problem, completing the paper accurately and on time because a big issue for people using the company services. The writers they use are also zero rated by those who used them in the past so, it is easy to understand why the company would be labeled a scam and fail in the long run. They just did not know how to run their business properly.

Don't over-complicate things. An academic writer is somebody who has graduated from (at least) college and can write proficiently in English ( UK or US). They are writers who know how to do research and understand that research for the benefit of the student. It isn't rocket science. You cannot even go to school for specific academic writing training as a profession because, it is something you should have been doing your whole academic life, thus preparing you for this occupation upon your graduation from any college course.

@LLB Writer

Why would you come here to pick a fight with the people that use this forum? Such conceit is not going to help you get clients either. It is best to be humble and friendly when you first come to any place as the newbie. I guess nobody told you that before. Anyway, the proof is in the work that you deliver. I wish the student who hires you the best of luck because, based on that post, the student is going to need a lot of it.

The paper written at the end of a masters course to qualify one for graduation is more commonly referred to as a thesis. Dissertation, as a reference point, is normally used for PhD and higher studies. It's no big deal. You can call the final paper a thesis and nobody will argue with you about it. The people here just like arguing over the smallest differences, which is supposed to make them appear more intelligent than they actually are.

Actually, there are some free to use photo sites that watermark the images so that proper credit can be delivered, without having to explicitly tell the user that. Perhaps that was the case here. Since iStock did not complain about the photo usage, we can assume that the company used the photos within the guidelines provided for its free use. One should not jump to conclusions based on a watermark alone.

That is actually against company policy. The writers are not allowed to contact the clients directly for any reason, before or after the completion of the order. However, some writers do it just the same, hoping to branch out on their own by building their client base. Just be careful when dealing directly with the writers. Some of them work well in a company setting, but fail to pweform as expected when directly hired. It is not really common practice for company attached writers to contact you directly so be cautious even if you have worked with the writer before.

The problem is that the students don't normally know what kind of writer they will be engaging at the start of the deal. They accept the writer based on certain promises made and assurances given by both the writer and company. Then they have to wait for the draft or final paper to be submitted before they can get a true picture of the type of writer and writing company they hired. In which case, it becomes too late to do anything about it. So thanks for the definition, but student's can't really apply these descriptions to the writers they are dealing with. It is not impossible to apply, just difficult when all you want is to get your paper written and submitted before the actual class deadline.

In order to exploit the opportunity, one needs to have money to do so. Without money, the opportunities just slip away. Since it is difficult to get a bank loan or a personal loan from your parents, the graduates will do what they can to earn money. Writing academic essays is one of the few opportunities that these people will have to earn a living. The work allows them to save up for the next time that the so called golden opportunity comes along for them to take a shot at.

Seems to me that nothing came of the highly intricate report the OP provided. Nobody sued ordercustompaper and customwritings because, maybe it never occurred to the OP, the other sites were in on the deal. They struck a deal as one con man to another to benefit their respective businesses. How and what the deal was about we will never know. The fact that nobody tried to contradict the report and, nobody tried to get the companies on the DND list of this site means that those involved have chosen to simply let the issue die a natural death, thus protecting their own company interests as well.

The moral of the story? Never hire an academic writing company just for the thrill of it. You are the one who will pay the price both financially and academically. Since you were doing so well writing your own papers, I cannot understand what would possess you to suddenly hire a company to do your work for you. Sure, life can get crazy at times. However, all you had to do was use your time management skills and talk to your professors regarding your situation. They will always understand and work with you to help you complete your requirements. Professors may seem heartless but trust me, they are not.

It isn't the same thing! You are still alive and kicking so nobody has thought of, and successfully ended your life. Which is what murder is all about. You should not make such exaggerated claims. I know you are trying to refer to your unpaid salary but still, exaggerations such as these are overkill. There is no excuse for accusing the company of murdering you because they can't. They cannot even threaten you with that because they don't have hands across the seas to get rid of such a petty fool. You are not worth the bother to even threaten to blackmail as far as the company is concerned.

I thought Academon had already gone the way of the dinosaurs. They are irrelevant and little used by students these days, if at all. In fact, most of the students I deal with have never heard of Academon. Which means, although their website is still active, they are not making any money off of the service. I guess they are using the site/business as tax write off or something. Either way, the services they offer have become irrelevant since students have decided that they want original papers written, which they can rephrase themselves. Weird I know, but it works for the students.

Were they really? It seems to me that you were still not satisfied with the paper you received because it still wasn't the paper that you needed for your class. So I cannot say that one company was more successful than the other. Both failed you are varying degrees. Both left you in the lurch to a certain extent. Both did not satisfy your writing requirements. So neither company should get a pat on the back from you. Instead, you should be telling the truth about how you feel. I do not doubt that you feel cheated, betrayed, and left with no recourse.

English is known as a living, breathing, and constantly evolving language. The UK have a specific type of spoken and written English that should never be confused with the American English language. Every country also has their own version of the English language that they deem acceptable in their own way. However, these countries also acknowledge that, if a paper is being written for the UK or US educational system, then the English grammar rules, as it applies to the specific country, applies to the written development of the paper. That is the only thing that ESL, EFL, and ENL writers need to know and apply in their writing.

When you read the blurb of the company on its landing page and you see highlighted SEO words combined with obviously never proof read copy on the page, that should be enough of a red flag to make you run for it. The company landing page for this service has some of the worst blurbs I have ever read. There was no proofreading applied to the copy, offering further evidence that the company paid their own writers to create the copy. These errors should be more than enough evidence to prove that they are not a reliable writing company and they will not be able to deliver on your paper for any reason. Do not deal with this company unless you are looking forward to a long drawn out chargeback process.

Sometimes the student gets caught, more often than not, they do not get caught. It all depends upon the circumstances such as:

- The writing skill of the student (and if the paper is too different from that writing style)
- The grade standing of the student in class ( A C student suddenly turning in an A+ or A paper is normally a red flag)
- The dedication of the teacher to actually checking for plagiarism in the work of the students

Students need to work with the writers so that they can help each other tread that delicate balance between academic assistance (and submission for a grade) and the current class performance of the student.

Yes, banks charge for wire transfer services. Sometimes the fees are made public, other times, they don't announce it and the writer just gets surprised by the amount of deductions that the transfer receives once it enters the account of the writer. Do not be surprised by the amount of the charge. It all depends upon the amount of money transferred. It can be higher or lower in fees, depending upon the transferred amount. As a freelance writer, consider this a service fee for not having a regular employer. You pay a transfer fee equivalent to the amount you earned and transferred.

You dolt! There is absolutely no way an AI can properly write a paper for a student. Who taught you to promote this company? You cannot claim to be a student when you choose Company Representative as your profile description. That isn't something that a professional would do. That is not something that someone who actually writes in English would do either. It is, something an idiot from Kenya would do though. I mean, a company admitting to use AI for its papers means it is openly admitting to being a scam. Didn't you get a warning about those things from the person who hired you ? If I were him, I would ask for a refund. I am not paying an imbecile to promote my company.

That is true. However, there are some writers who live in third world countries, who do not know any better. Working for slave labor is the only way they can support themselves and their families most of the time. So they wait it out and take the abuse, all because the company "took a chance" on hiring them. This made the company a god in their eyes, not to be disrespected and instead, bowed down to whenever the need arises. They are poor souls in that way, never knowing and understanding that they should and could be treated better by their employer.

When in doubt, stop working for the company and see if you will get paid on schedule. It is always better to cut your losses early on rather than continuing to work even though you have your doubts. Sometimes, the company comes through and pays on time or on a delayed basis. It would be better if you wait till you get paid then work a little bit for them, and see if they will pay you. Do this for about 3 months until you get a feel and understanding of how their payment system works. By limiting your work exposure, you also limit your financial losses as their writer.

You are not the only person who notices these increases. The system is programmed to detect these things and call the attention of the IT staff behind the scenes. They get to work on closing the multiple accounts as fast as these are registered and, they also suspend or ban the users IP addresses so prevent any more repeated sign-ups. These happen on a daily basis and really keep the IT staff on their toes.

Due to the pandemic, the writing companies have shut down their hiring schedules. The academic season is really problematic this year for most countries and the companies are trying to streamline their businesses. They are releasing under-performing writers and keeping only their top tier reliable writers on an "allowance" of sorts. Hiring freezes are normal in these types of settings so it would be better for those interested in academic writing to try their luck on UpWork and other direct hire sites instead. It is a more difficult way to get started but you might get lucky and land a few well paying jobs.

Unbelievable! They are not in the academic writing business. No company, both scam or legitimate, would ever give a student such ill advise. It does not make sense. I think this Jason fellow took the student for a fool who could be led around by the nose. He assumed that the student was stupid and he did not want to have to deal with this student anymore. He is the kind of client assistant who would normally get fired. Unless of course, he was instructed to deal with clients in this manner. Which, is a possibility considering the type of company that he works for.

Offshore incorporation helps companies that may have questionable financial resources avoid the taxman in their own country. It allows them to cover their financial tracks because they are not covered by the laws that would normally govern their income, money transfer, taxes, and overall financial movement in their true base of operations. Offshore incorporation is not something a company should brag about. They normally raise a red flag when they say so.

The company went out of business long ago. Or did it? When I ran an investigation into the company name, the search yielded a link to a company under the name of Premium Writing Services. It appears that there is some sort of connection between the two companies. Perhaps the same owners just changed the company name and url but kept all the backdoor links and paperwork for the previous company active just the same. I can't be sure but based on what I have seen, the two companies could be directly related under the same ownership.

Not to say the company is not lying but, I know that sometimes, the owner of the company can be a freelancer who has been in the business for decades on end and only recently decided to set up the company. So the claims may be based on the owner's personal work history and not the established company date. I would not read too much into that because there are several factors that could affect such a claim being made on the site.
