It appears that writing companies that use social media to expose themselves to the student writing market have been asked to truthfully indicate their country of location when signing up for the account. The location they provide is now "fact-checked" for its actual location, placing the form on hold if the writer's current computer IP and his chosen location do not match. Although that method of location checking is not foolproof, at least the social media companies are trying to do something to curb the fake location presentations of their account holders. Finally, the technology is catching up to the con artists.

The company has not updated their writing policies to reflect the changing needs and technologies that students have to deal with in their writing. They claim that the work is 100% not plagiarized, but they neglect to inform the potential client if their writers will be using AI for their work or, if it will be freshly written using the human mind. These days, students are more afraid of hiring writers because of the AI experience that they have been getting from both the independent and company writing sectors. They turn in papers that they pay expensively for, only to receive a failing mark because the teacher found out that it was written by an AI. Writing companies should always make human written papers assurances these days. Otherwise, the students will be using the AI excuse to file refunds.

AI language translation abilities have come a long way since this thread was last posted to. We are nearing the Star Trek era of automatic language translation through a wearable device. I believe that it is Lenovo that came out with the earbuds translator. You just have to speak in your native tongue and the device will take care of translating it, accurately I might add, to a language of your choice. I have been using the device since it was gifted to me during the last holidays. I must say, it have given me a new income revenue stream. I can now translate any language in the world to English with great accuracy. Now, I am just waiting for the automatic language translation detector ala Star Trek to become a reality. We are getting there.

Since AI seems to be choking the life out of the independent writers line of work, I think that having such an organization would no longer be beneficial to the writers. That sort of organization would have been an asset during the prime era of academic writing. I could even see the organization working with schools, colleges, and universities when it came to developing guidelines for the academic writers. How far would be too far for the schools to accept other writer work from their students? What sort of protection would the association give the students against blackmailing and threats towards the the academic future of the students? What role could the writer's legitimately play in the ongoing education of the students? I think that this was a missed window opportunity.

The academic writing industry is struggling right now. Writers are barely getting by as both independent and company attached writers. Going back to school to accomplish some sort of upskilling is not a bad idea. It is something that all writer's should consider at this point. Schools will not ask about your occupation as an academic writer unless it comes up as an integral part of your work experience consideration. In which case, it is never good to hide the truth. Go ahead and disclose this if the need to do so arises. The school could only look upon this in one of 2 ways:

1. You will use the school as an extension of your writing business, in which case they will refuse your admission.
2. The skills you developed over the years prove that you can complete the course you will be taking and that you are capable of working under extreme deadline pressure so they will admit you as a student.

Like they say, you will never know until you try.

I wonder why some academic writing company domain names end up redirecting to gambling sites once the company is dissolved and the url is sold to some company located in Asia. What is the connection between gambling and academic writing? Can anyone hazard a guess? I am thinking that the gambling site uses the url to mask the activities of their student clients who reside in campus dorms or other housing types. They oftentimes use the school internet, which is monitored by the IT. So perhaps that is why? In this case, it is essayacademia that redirects to an Asian gambling site.

I always have a problem with any essay writing company that claims to employ PhD and masters degree holders as writers. Time and time again, I have to insist that academics with that level of expertise will not be working for a pittance at an essay writing company, regardless of where they are located in the world. It is important to consider that these professionals achieved that level of study because their work demands it of them. It is not because they want to spend their professional lives as academic writers. I can accept that the company provides upskill training for their writers, which is common among essay writing companies that hire writers from the 3rd world. They do not know how to write research and essay papers meant for 1st world use.

These days, a human academic writer can churn out a paper at a rate of about 5 in a day, depending upon the requirements of the student for the paper. I am giving a conservative guess of 5 per day because when I was an active writer, I could churn out 20 student papers a day, of varying page numbers. None of those papers ever came back for revisions. So the speed at which the freelance writer works is dependent upon the quality of his final outcome. The paper must be flawless regardless of the number of pages required or the deadline provided. Anybody can churn out an essay, an AI can spit one out in a matter of seconds. What matters is the quality of the work, not the speed by which it can be completed.

I remember the pandemic era as well. Academic writing flourished during that time. The students were all studying from home and hiring academic writers so that they could enjoy the lock down playing video games or developing other skills that did not require human interaction. I was so busy during that time that I was practically working around the clock covering papers from gradeschool to PhD level dissertations.

I really miss those days of abundant writing assignments. While the academic writing field may lose some ground to AI, I choose to believe that there will still be a client base for human writers going forward. AI cannot take over the academic writing job because it will always lack the logic and humanity that can be found in human written opinion and research papers.

Both website domain names are no longer active. The first one in the list is up for sale with no takers. The second one, just recently went offline because the domain name is still active but no longer capable of doing a handshake with the server. It cannot detect the anchor page for the site anymore. So it is safe to believe that both companies have released their writers, whom we hope have gone on to have better writing careers. Provided they were good academic writers in the first place.

There was a time when writing companies did try to con their writers out of their hard earned income. Either they delayed the salary release or, they played games with the payment account of the writer. They usually did this with the newbies at their companies who were not yet aware of this game the companies played. UvoCorp was once one of the biggest con companies when it came to paying their writers. They did everything they could to get free labor. That is why I am amazed that this company still exists as a writing company today.

While it is not possible to beat Turnitin when it comes to plagiarism detection, it is possible to limit its abilities to detect plagiarism. While Turnitin is also learning to utilize Ai to help in its quest to prevent plagiarism and AI generated papers, the students have come to the realization that using human writers, who write truly original papers for them will always be the best work around for the system. It is possible to get a plagiarism free paper and get past those detection tools, not just Turnitin, by simply making sure that your writer honestly does the work for you and does not use AI to generate a paper for you either.

The companies that try to take down EssayScam often end up taking themselves out of the industry instead. It is impossible for them to take on a company like ES and hope to use fake information to tarnish a reputation that has taken decades to build. While there are other forums that claim to be protecting students from scams, the only reliable one is ES, because of the way that the members of this forum truly want to help keep students away from scam companies and independent writers.

Humor has its place in academic writing. It all depends upon the topic that is being written about. If you are doing a paper in relation to film study or creative writing, then, I believe, those are the best types of papers to inject humor into. Scientific papers and opinion papers of a serious nature should not be turn into humorous reading, unless it is a parody. It is important that the focus of the paper, and the information or opinion being presented, is taken seriously by the reader.

Well, for all the claims of fraud, it appears that the company still has a sizeable writers roster in their employ. The company is still active and actually looks like it is thriving in the industry. They are still accepting writer applicants but I believe that they have changed their hiring process so perhaps the causes of the "scam" accusations have been addressed as well. Anyway, I was looking over their anchor page and saw that they had an entry saying that they would compensate the writer for extra work that was not covered in the original order instructions. That is very fair of them as not all writing companies agree to additional compensation for late instruction changes. I only hope that they actually do this because the writer's job seems to be never done in terms of clients whose constant revision requests seem to have the writer developing a totally new free paper instead of just editing work.

I believe that there was a time when the users of this forum were a bit hot headed and easily exploded into arguments in an effort to show off their writing skills or to catch the attention of the students who may have been looking for writers at the time. I am glad that the forum has stopped being a war zone and the discussions are now civilized and more useful to the students (for the most part) .

Being new to this forum, I did not know that there was a problem with the rating system of this forum. I thought as long as we regularly posted and kept the numbers up, there was no other requirement when it comes to keeping your account active and searchable? Do these rating and search rules still apply today? Or has it been resolved? Is this the reason why the writers are no longer as active as they were before?

It doesn't matter that this thread is still active in this forum. It no longer matters that the company placed their ad in the wrong section. The domain name is no longer active. The company is out of business. The url returns an Address Not Found message already. So arguing about this topic is now moot.

I think that the emergence of AI in relation to essay writing should be given special mention as one of the important modern milestones in the history of essay writing. Finally, something worse than unskilled ESL, third rate writers emerged. It actually managed to give bad writers a good name. Hahahah!

I would have to agree that studies, specially advanced studies have become cost prohibitive these days. Regardless of whether these courses are studied locally or internationally, it is difficult to say that it costs more to study in one country rather than the other. That is why there is a rise in scholarship programs on both a local and international scale. Nobody will be able to afford studying overseas without a sponsorship. However, if you are one of those lucky few who can actually afford to pay your way for foreign studies, then consider the UK and the US for those studies. These countries still top the list of options of students these days.

During the latest seminar conducted by British Council Asia, they encouraged the ESL teachers to not correct the errors of their students when it comes to their spoken English. That is because these constant corrections, the empty noun included, makes the learner shy when it comes to public speaking. This hinders his ability to gain confidence when speaking or writing in the language. So it is safe to assume that these empty noun concerns have no place in the world of modern and global English usage.

This is a common weakness among ESL students that can be seen in the way that they write their IELTS practice tests. They do not understand the basics of persuasive writing. It is difficult to explain to them how persuasive writing is based upon supporting a single opinion and using evidence along with proper explanations to create a proper, persuasive paper. They keep insisting that a persuasive paper can only be written by justifying the validity of both sides of a discussion.

With all of the evidence that exists regarding the fraudulent nature of this company, one will have to wonder why it is still in existence as of today. The only explanation I can think of is that the company writers manage to deliver what the students need, regardless of the actual location of the company. It is not the first company to misrepresent its global location. I think that for as long as the company and its writers can provide the work as necessary, then it does not matter where they are located.

@Freelancewriter , is there a chance that you can offer some words of encouragement to potential independent writers who are afraid of entering into this business at this point in time? Is there a difference between the conversion rate pre, during, and post pandemic for you? If there are other active independent writers who happen to be reading this post, please feel free to share your input regarding this topic. I am sure it will make for an interesting discussion amongst us.

Essay writing companies cannot always be relied upon to deliver the best possible service to the student clients due to the impersonal nature of their business. They run on the bidding model, which allows all writers, regardless of actual writing skills to bid and possibly win the assignment. A student would be better off hiring individual writers as a direct hire since they will be able to assess the actual writing skill of the writer in relation to the paper that they need written. Yes, in this age of AI, I tend to frown upon hiring writers from writing companies because there are too many unknown factors when it comes to hiring the writer which could result in porrly written papers.

There is no need for a non commercial essay help website anymore. These days, a simple search will return reliable sample essays on a variety of topics which were actually written by humans rather than AI. One can learn how to properly write a paper on any given topic based upon the sample essays. If the student wants to learn how not to write a proper essay, then he can have any AI app generate a useless essay for him based on the given topic.

Something to take note of when dealing with this company is that they claim to have a Zero Tolerance policy for writers who use ChatGPT or AI for their writing. This is actually the first time I have seen an academic writing company state that in their anchor page. Therefore, they know of the writers using AI to write essays problems and they have taken steps to prevent that from happening to their clients. After all, they are the ones that will have to refund the client if the paper is totally unusable since an AI wrote the paper. I expect that the writer will also receive an automatic dismissal in the process.

essay help pros redirects to an Asian gambling website now. They bought the domain name to help their student gamblers. I guess some students would rather be accused academic cheating instead of being an online gambler. I do not know which is worse at this point. Anyway, both companies are offline and no longer pose a threat to the academic integrity of the students. Just don't get involved with their online gambling thing because of the url redirection.

The provided listing of the sister companies, along with the actual website in this post have been taken down. Students will not be able to access these companies anymore. That is an assurance of one thing alone, the companies were scams that could not deliver as promised. What they did do was terrorize the students, which led to the fast demise of the main and umbrella companies. Nothing more can be said about these companies except, the industry is happy to be rid of them.

Any company that posts these UK grading averages on their website is not on the level. A competent company or independent writer knows that grade assurances cannot be given to the student. There are just too many factors to consider when writing a paper, not to mention that the writer does not know the mindset of the professor, that prevents such assurances from being reliable. Stay away from companies and writers that make such assurances with a strong sense of certainty.

The company is another one that is no longer active in the academic writing business. The address can no longer be found. Therefore, the owner allowed the server contract to expire before the domain name expiration. I am wondering what their actual game is though. I mean, they are not trying to sell the domain name, the company is no longer available offline, yet they have not requested to have their name placed on the DND list of ES. Are they planning to come back to the industry in the future?

This company cannot claim to only be assistants in learning when they are doing actual research paper writing for the students. They do not understand the job of a tutor, which is to assist the students in learning the material. It is not a tutors job to complete the academic work of the student. That is not how a tutor helps a student with his assignment.

We are lucky that we entered into 2025 with both of these con companies out of circulation. Okay. I will admit, they have been out of commission for at least 2 years since the urls are still active, but no longer connected to any useful pages. Students are very lucky that these Kenyans were driven out of the industry before they could do long term damage to the students and the industry. It is important that students are aware that dealing with Kenyan writers comes with great risks. If the writer you are about to hire is from Kenya, then hire that person at your own risk.

There are so many red flags on the website of this company that I do not know where to begin. Nothing about the layout and provided information can instill confidence in the client who is considering hiring this company. I guess the biggest problem that I have with them is that they do not provide a physical location for their roffice. I mean, granted, the location may be located out in the middle of the Grand Canyon, but at least there is a semblance of a professional address for the student to refer to. Their lack of a contact number is also worrisome since using only chat to contact the office, but not the writer does not leave the student with a lot of communication channels should a problem arise in relation to their order.

The business model of the research paper business has been permanently altered by the emergence of Artificial Intelligence. The writing companies are investing heavily on the development of their Ai writing department in an effort to augment their income. Academic writing as a human occupation is being challenged by these AI writing models which learn as the students use them. Unfortunately, these cannot learn fast enough so the students cannot really use them for their writing needs in the same way that they can use a human writer. While I was hoping that AI writing was only a fad, it appears that it is here to stay so the human writers will have to fight to remain relevant in the business.

I have a problem with the way that CustomDissertation.com identifies its location as simply being in Boston, Massachusetts USA. It reminds of the way that The Simpsons location is in Springfield USA. There is no specific location nor address attached to a company that claims to deal only with UK and US educated / based writers. If you cannot give the client a specific location, not even a P.O. Box address, then I see no reason for the client to trust anything that you can say and promise them about their paper order.

I never actually thought that the writers ran any danger of not being paid by the students. I guess that is because the more commonly discussed problem at this forum is:

A. Writer blackmails the student
B. Writer does not complete the work for the student after being fully paid
C. Writer does a sloppy job of writing the paper

Thank you for calling our attention to the risks that the writer could run when dealing with new clients.

Thank you for your highly detailed and comprehensive response @Freelancewriter . The information that you have provided can be used as a guideline by the students for those situations when they need to directly hire a writer or pass through a writing company. The insight provided in this updated thread comes at a good time, when the writing companies are seemingly going back to their old ways of blackmailing students and threatening them if the writing company does not get what they want. So knowing how the payment process actually works will be a big help to these potential student clients.

Another pricing consideration that the students should have is that these writing companies tend to use AI writers for their orders these days. In which case, the student should not pay a premium price for artificial work. I have heard reports of these academic writing companies beefing up their newly formed AI writers department. There are still human writers on staff, it is just that they are made to write generic research papers for the company from which the AI can pull information from for the creation of incomplete research papers for students. Make sure to ask if they use AI for their orders. While they will not admit to this openly, there will be a level of discomfort in their response that would give their true answer away.

It is not clear to me when the company stopped using the Norton Verisign and Trust Guard logos on their website. All I can confirm is that they have stopped using the logos across their pages. It is more than likely that they were reported by the students that they scammed to the aforementioned integrity checker companies, who more than likely threatened the company with legal action in relation to unauthorized use of their logo. The company has since turned to using simplistic Web page presentations and more basic English vocabulary. I would not trust this company to work for me though. I mean, they faked their integrity image through the unauthorized use of those logos, there is nothing that will stop them from blackmailing a student if they feel the urge to do so.
