Do they really have essays that pay $20 per page?

That is what the company says to entice potential writers to sign up with them. Do not expect to get that sort of CPP from them. That is a cost that you will never see yourself receiving. They will use all sorts of reasons to keep you from receiving that rate. Everything from "You are a general writer" to " You are a top tier writer but you do not write certain topics". They just won't allow it.

It is a scam. They do not offer even the lowest possible quality papers for their clients. Their writers will not even qualify as ESL capable. Which is probably why they practice slave labor wages in paying them. The writers cannot even be expected to communicate with the client to help facilitate the completion of the paper. Do not expect their rude and highly unprofessional client support staff to help a client either. They just won't do that. I have never heard such horror stories from both the clients and writers before. This is a nightmare company regardless of which side you are on.

ervices were far more expensive than other companies.

While it is true that you should pay for quality work, the price of the order should only be satisfactory after you have properly interviewed the company rep. If you did not bother to try to talk to a "human being" at least through the online chat room, then you did not do a good job at considering the writing company for your needs. Always make sure that you have a list of questions for the company rep. That way the rep will also know that you are a serious potential client and help you get the best service they can offer. Only if your questions are answered in a satisfying manner should you hire the company.

The writers are not the only people that the company opts to ignore. They even ignore their own client's communication. I mean, when a client gets locked out of an account, my client rep is there to pick up the phone and assist in the retrieval process. Does this company do that? Nope. You can get locked out of your account, after having given them your payment and other pertinent information, and they will ignore the client requests for account retrieval assistance. Not exactly the best way to do business. Makes me wonder if they are not just a personal data collection scam posing as a writing company.

make sure their adress is on the website

They can buy an address from anybody online. Publishing the address in their website does not prove the company is legal, nor that an office for it legally exists. If you are an overseas student hiring their services, you will not have any capacity to verify the company address unless you spend more time looking into the background of the company instead of finding a service to complete your paper. That is not sound advice for students. It would be simpler to just ask for information about the company here, if anybody has any info to share.

Uhhh... I think there is a conflict of interest here. You are openly promoting a service as a user, but listed yourself as a company representative. Which is it? You can't be both. Based on the way the post was created, it sounds like a blurb through and through. So you are not a user but definitely a company representative. You did not even bother to try and write something coherent in the post. Did you ask the PR guys to approve the post beforehand? Or are they just as clueless as you are?

Well, the company has only positively fantastic reviews from its previous clients. Which means they are running a scam. Not even a single simple negative review means the company has a dedicated PR department. You will never find a negative review online and, even if there is one, it will be quashed instantly. That negative review will disappear through the channels of the company. It is best to not hire such "perfect" writing services. There are hidden problems associated with that company for sure.

General Talk / threatening a customer or not [190]

you got vindictive, and you got revenge. I can be as judgmental as I want, since I've never crossed that line.

Straying from the original topic, why is it wrong for the student to exact the same extortionist moves on a writer (not Phyleeks) when the writer seems to think that it is perfectly legal to use this maneuver on a student ? A scam writer that is. Regardless, that doesn't make what Phyleeks did right. 2 wrongs, as the saying goes, never make a right. Both of you were wrong, but only one suffered the consequences. Sad, but true.

Perhaps do not work for yourself at the start. It really sounds to me like you are better off writing papers for ESL students, rather than private clients. So you would do well to apply at the online writing companies, being honest about your ESL skills, then taking the test and hoping to pass for the job. They are not going to be too picky as most of their clients are ESL anyway. You can gain work experience, earn, and train yourself in the field while trying to figure out if this is really the career that you want to have going forward. Stick to a writing company though. I do not think you will make it as a independent writer.

It's a Chinese company with an IP registration in Santa Clara, California. Would I trust the company to write a paper for me, a paper of any sort, based on their actual company location? Nope. Not even if they offered to pay me to write my paper. Why? You just cannot trust a writer working for a company that is in a country that does not even teach basic English language skills in their schools. What kind of paper do you think they will produce? Exactly. So why go through all that disappointment and loss of money right?

I requested a rewriting,

That was your mistake. Never ask for a rewrite. In this case, you have only 1 of 2 choices:
- Get the paper assigned immediately to a more competent writer
- Request a refund and accept the failing grade for the assignment.

It is important that you understand something about ESL writers. If they do not communicate with you within 24 hours of accepting your order, you can bet that the writer will bungle the job. In which case, you should take the initiative to contact the writer and, if he fails to respond, request for a reassignment. The worst thing a writer can do is remain silent when the client is reaching out to them. You should not have been complacent. When hiring a writer you have not worked with before, you should be on pins and needles until the paper is properly submitted to you.

I have never come across a writing company as bad as this academicwritinghelp.com I mean, they average 1 star in terms of overall service and competence. The previous client of theirs that I spoke to said that the only reason 1 star was given was because I did not offer an option for 0 stars. The company has the worst client services on record. They don't even bother to hide the fact that they are not ENL speakers with their thick accents and improper conversational English skills. Which led me to the next question. Knowing all of this, why would a student still knowingly hire the service? Shouldn't the student be as much to blame as the company and its writers in this case?

My company has managed to stay afloat these days by diversifying our work portfolio. While we still do academic essays, we also work with the overloaded work from home employees who need to find a balance between their work and home life. Yes, we have noticed that the clients, both students and professionals have learned to value their hard earned and less buying power dollars more these days. That has forced us to reevaluate our professional and academic prices, while trying to shelter our writers from the drop in both academic and professional order prices. It's mostly rouch and go these days but we are confident that the worst has passed and the new normal will be here before we know it.

Any other suggestions for RUNNER UPs?

And help with the indirect endorsements of these sites? I don't think so. One of the sites recommended is even in the *DND list. A lot of good that recommendation did. How much were you paid to start this thread by the companies you "endorsed"? Was it worth the money? I don't think so. However, I can understand why you would sell out. You probably need the money more and the conversion rate in your country against the US dollar is probably high.

Writing Careers / How to avoid dishonest clients? [20]

what are the best ways for freelance writers to avoid credit card / Paypal fraud?

You can ask the client to produce a non-official proof of ID to prove ownership of the card. A membership card or something that does not contain privacy law protected information should suffice. However, credit card companies always tell the users that the card with a signature is enough to validate the card. No additional ID is required. If you are worried about potential chargeback complaints, you should not worry about that as long as you provide everything you agreed to with the client.

someone has reversed Paypal transaction.

- That happens sometimes. However, there is a investigation conducted and you will be allowed to present your evidence to prove you fulfilled your end of the bargain with PayPal. Never assume that PP will automatically side with the client. If your evidence is strong enough, you can win and prevent the chargeback from being fulfilled.

I would greatly appreciate a site that I can frequent in which cursing does not run rampant and mud-sligging is not part of the process.

While there are other essay scam warning sites on the web, not all of them are populated by the dirty mouths that tend to proliferate at this forum. Sadly, these foul mouthed bullies are the most prolific posters here, which, sadly, created the image of a flaming website for ES among some students. I have come across students who have told me that they were thinking of hiring certain writers from the ES roster but, due to the flaming language used and egos that are larger than life, they decided not to proceed with contacting writers from here. Sadly, humility is not one of the character traits of a handful of proud writers at this forum. They fail to realize that they do not hurt anyone but themselves when they speak like non-educated fools, tearing each other down, hoping THAT is what impress the client and get them hired. The fools !

It's OK to state "dirty scammers from Asia." Stating "dirty Asians" is not OK.

Hypersensitive much? Perhaps your ego has been slighted for some reason? You protest too much. Perhaps because you are an Asian? Maybe yes, maybe no. Whatever the reason for your protest, you should just have let it go. I mean, consider how racist you have been in the past. You can't call a kettle black in this case. Why? When you do, there is a tendency to reveal a truth about yourself indirectly. Which, I think, is what happened in this case.

The only information I could find about the company had it receiving only positive reviews and the highest possible of star ratings. It portrayed the company to the the epitome of perfection in the writing field. It reeked of paid blurbs and a website review for hire. I could not find any negative reviews for this site at all. Which means this one positive review is all the students will have to go by. If you cannot find a balanced review online ( both positive and negative regardless of number), then you cannot make an educated decision regarding hiring the company. Do not hire a company based only unverified information.

I think Carly was just answering the question

Carly admits to being the company representative. So she was not just answering the question. Notice that she placed links to specific company landing pages. That indicates a clear advertisement that was allowed to stay on the forum. Yes, she responded to the question. However, she should have done so without doing an indirect advertisement of their company. This is a loophole in the rules that the system consistently fails to recognize and must be addressed by the powers behind the forum going forward. I am also frustrated by the way that these companies flaunt the loopholes and nobody in a position to do something about it calls them out on the practice.

The company is best known for lying to its clients. As I stated in a previous thread, trust issues come from the way that a company will say and do anything to get the client to sign up and, at the very least, make a non-refundable down-payment on the paper. This company is well known for telling lies during the pre-ordering, writing, and delivery process. They cannot be trusted to tell the truth without lying first.

Trust issues are created by the company and writers themselves when they make promises that they cannot fulfill. If you promise to deliver by a certain date, do so. If you know you cannot write a particular type of paper, say so. If you need more time to complete a task for valid reasons, negotiate with the client. It isn't rocket science. The reasons for lying are never beyond the quality concerns of the students. Just make the clients feel like you can truly be trusted to do the work, then actually deliver as required. That will end any trust issues a client may have with a company or an independent writer.

Those are things that you can only learn as you continue to participate at this forum.

They never got to the point where they would be a direct competitor because there weren't enough students for them to con into submitting their previously written essays.

The company must focus on the client-writer relationship. Allow the writer and client to contact each other directly and stop acting as the middleman. That is where all the problems come from anyway. There will always be something lost in translation between the client, client rep, and writer.

However, they are penalising me for something I have not done.

Ask for evidence of the wrongdoing. Whenever I am forced to penalize a writer, I make sure to offer him a review of the paper that is in question. Once the client complaint is compared to the review completed by the QAD, there is definitive proof of your shortcomings as a writer. That simple investigation should be enough to clear the air and show you that there were really problems with your writing, research, and presentation (if any).

since a lot of the customers in this industry are ESL, they wouldn't really be as picky... the professor would be expecting misused English

- This is a long held belief of mine. Which is why I assign ESL writers to ESL students. If the student is an ESL user and then presents an ENL level paper, the professor will immediately know that he hired someone to write his paper for him. Which would defeat the purpose of hiring a writer. Sometimes, the priority should be the method of writing, rather than the perfection of the written presentation. There are always going to be times when imperfect is exactly what the client needs.
