Essay Services / UKESSAYS = UNIVERSITYESSAYS -IS IT A SCAM? [28]

Many other writers who work for Essaybay from India and Pakistan get regular work from Ukessays so it helps alot to make the month end salary good one.

When I worked there they asked for proof of nationality and uni degree. They don't actually employ writers until they verify their identity, nationality and academic degree(s). Must have changed their policies ... don't know

General Talk / WARNING: If you use Viper / Raptor Plagiarism Scanner / ScanMyEssay, you waive copyright to your own property! [78]

I'm a qualified lawyer.

In the UK it is rather different from the States. You have solicitors, lawyers, barristers and attorneys - they have different functions but, at the end of the day, have graduated law school. I know I am going to be attacked for saying this but it does seem that - ezinearticles/?expert_bio=Jennifer - she is a legal professional. Besides, the British media is absolutely vicious! She has publicly identified herself as a lawyer on several programmes ... if it weren't true, the media would have torn her apart. By media I am not talking about promo articles on blogs or ezines but the BBC - they would have had a field day and left nothing but bloody corpses behind.

Everybody - I do not know Jennifer and I really could not care less about whether or not she graduated law school or has ever even laid eyes upon the exterior of a court house. I just want to push the lawyer issue aside so we can hear both sides of the Viper debate. DO THEY OR DO THEY NOT PUBLISH MATERIAL SUBMITTED THROUGH VIPER ON THEIR ESSAY BANK?

WB- were one to use viper does that mean that a person would be consenting to the company's later use of the paper for any reason whatsoever - whether commercial or not?

General Talk / Turnitin deletion of paper [29]

Hey humble - 0% is practically impossible. 5% is more like it when one switches on the "exclude quotes" and "exclude bibliography" options. The 5% (maximum), however, should be dispersed throughout the paper and not located in blocks or full sentences as that would indicate plagiarism :)

Essay Services / Flashpoint Education - legit or not? [11]

Evidence? publish the originality report and have your friend come here and speak out. It is not right to attack a company simply because you are competing with it. If you want to establish a reputation for your company, prove it through the delivery of quality work. It is not right to libel others and spread rumours for the purposes of personal financial gain.

Writers who speak so plainly about the company they work for are rarely good.

What have you based this statement on?

Ali - you certainly seem to have a lot of friends all of whom were scammed by most every company out there, with the exception of yours

General Talk / Turnitin deletion of paper [29]

i would like to know as i ve got the result of 30% plagiarism but when i exclude quotes it shows 10%, so when the lecturer mark your paper ecluding quotes...please advice

Whether your professor turns the "include quotations" option on or not is unimportant. The right hand column of the report reveals the source of your quotations and all your professor need do is check whether the coloured/highlighted passages are in quotes or not. As far as the 20% mentioned is concerned, you are safe.

The 10% is another issue. Is it from the body of the paper or your bibliography? If from the body of the paper, you need to change it asap ... eliminate that 10%.

Another thing ... 20% quotations is way too much. You should not devote any more than 10% of your study to quotations. Try to fix that as well as it will probably bring your grade down.

I bought an essay

If that is the case, post your order number (any proof that you are or ever were a customer) and put up the essay on the board ... What you are accusing Term Paper Writer of is quite serious (violation of the sales of services contract you entered into with them, compounded with their subsequent refusal to refund you), if true. If it is not true, that also is quite serious ...

Essay Services / New crime by essaywriters.net & bestessays.com - Reselling papers, false advertising [50]

If students are just going to use the papers that they buy as guides, why is it so important that such papers are not resold?

It's a big deal because they claim otherwise and, accordingly, the said claim constitutes an integral part of their sale of service contract. Should they not claim that they never resell, then it would not be a "big deal."

Writing Careers / Stop Writing for essaywriters.net [340]

Hopefully! If they were not scammers why do they, through Bestessays and Superior Papers promise customers that:

1)"Your order will be written by a certified writing professional with a MD/ PhD degree in your particular subject of study." While I do have a PhD, essaywriters never, once, asked me for proof of my qualifications - not once! Not only that but, on essaywriters.net they state: "If you hold Bachelor, Masters or PhD degree ..." They are recruiting writers with BA degrees despite promising customers MA and PhD writers ...

2) "We never resell our essays, term papers, dissertations or any other documents." Yet, they do resell papers through mighty student.

3) Why do they claim to be American/British when they are Ukrainian?

I believe that, at this point, the only logical conclusion one can reach is that essaywriters.net is a legitimate company and Yuri is nothing other than a god-fearing saint ...

Writing Careers / Universal Research and/or Uniwork Inc. now legally vulnerable in US, UK, and Philippines? [28]

Vulnerable Researchany believe it or not, WB is probably right. Custom-research companies are not above the law, despite the fact that they act as if they are. When the scammers incorporated in the UK and US (as a marketing strategy so to claim that they are American/British), they bound themselves to the laws of these countries. While I do not know much about US law, I know that UK law is very very strict and the terms of the Sale and Supply of Services Act are non-negotiable. These companies must provide 1)

Services which fulfill the description - in this case, high quality, non-plagiarised work, written by native speakers who, themselves, have the academic qualifications the companies claimed on their behalf. 2) a physical location for the company itself (not a mythical, Empire State Building address). The conditions governing the sale and supply of goods just go on and on (I only highlighted two).

While scammers assume that they can get around them (as in reselling papers) through Terms and Conditions which attempt to undermine consumer rights, any terms and conditions which attempt to exclude or violate consumer protection laws or the sale and supply of services act, are voided by the courts. A consumer is not bound by any term and condition of sale which is contrary to the relevant laws, even if s/he signs off on them.

WB is right and were any to read the investigator's report (as she has requested multiple times), you will realise that the fraud is becoming rampant.

Custom-writing companies ultimately depend on the assumption that their consumers (students who may have cheated) will be too afraid to report them, lest they themselves get into trouble ... thus, the fraud continues and grows. I, however, like WB, believe that something will be done about it ...

Now - that is just the consumer side. Were one to look at the employee (writer) side of the case, the situation becomes even worse (from the legal standpoint). How many writers have experienced unreasonable delays in payment? What about unwarranted fines?

General Talk / The use of plagiarism detection software by essay writing companies [25]

Turnitin allows for the use of their platform, including scanning against student papers, WITHOUT sumbitting to, and storing your project on its STUDENT REPOSITORY. Whatever company you use and whichever scanner they employ, make sure that they provide you with proof (or a guarantee) that your paper has not been stored (by them) on any platform/database. If they are unable to provide such an assurance, you can easily scan it yourself using writecheck.turnitin.com, specifically DO NOT SUBMIT TO STUDENT REPOSITORY.

General Talk / Why some "American" companies hide their corporate address? Shady operations?? [8]

No legitimate company, American or otherwise, hides its address. Similarly, no legitimate company "invents" an American address to propagate the belief that they are American when they are actually Eastern European. No problem in being Ukranian, etc as long as there is transparency and the deliberate attempt to mislead (changing names to Anglo-sounding ones, inventing addresses, etc.) is absent.

Stu4 - simply posting a business address is not enough as most of the scammers do that ...

Writing Careers / Scam Sites: oxbridge, essaywriters, premium-essays, 4writers....etc, etc. [23]

Are you referring to Oxbridgeresearchers too?

Oxbridge is not Oxbridge Researchers and no, we never scan papers using paper mill scanners and never resell. So, no it could be Oxbridge Essays but definitely not Oxbridge Researchers. Plus, Oxbridge Researchers is the name of the parent company and not that of the website.

Under UK law, when a service provider is contracted for a service and paid in full, ownership of the service provided transfers to the buyer. I am not sure about US law but if a company was incorporated in the UK, it is obliged to adhere to UK law. In that case, students who find their essays being sold or given away for free on a website have a legitimate legal claim against the company which provided them with that essay (service).

Furthermore, when a company contracts a writer to fulfil an order, the writer is correct to assume that the work he/she provides will be used for a single purpose/single buyer (unless explicitly stated otherwise). Multiple or even single reselling of the work provided is, again, contrary to the law. In cases such as that, the writer also has a legitimate claim against the company in question.

In brief, it is just plain wrong. Even supposing that the scanner stores the paper (transfer of ownership etc), it is still wrong. The company should know better and, indeed, is legally obliged to know better.

This is nothing other than dishonest ... and there are absolutely no excuses or justifications for any company to engage in the intended or unintended publication, let alone resell, of work it provided a customer ... No excuses exist

don't forget the fact that the people who run mightystudents.com also own and operate Plagiserve.com and Edutie.com. Plagiserve.com, EduTie.com, MyDropBox

I am not too sure about MyDropBox since it is used by several universities - directly linked to their WebCT or Blackboard ... it should be authentic

Essay Services / Hilarious Claims from Masterpapers [12]

I was reading through masterpapers' PR articles and came across a number of hilarious claims:

"Masterpapers.com is also certified with Certificate of Incorporation (Masterpapers LLC) which means it will prove its high standards, quality, guarantee and safety in new services provision. This certificate is mandatory for companies which provide essay writing, proofreading and editing services if they wish to claim their guarantees in quality and legitimacy."

Whomever wrote this needs to look up the meaning of Certificate of Incorporation. It is a company's `birth certificate,' and has absolutely nothing to do with guarantees and quality and is certainly not confined to companies in this industry.

"New editing services by Masterpapers.com will allow essay and dissertation writers learn more about research papers, academic essays and dissertations structuring, formatting, concluding, analyzing and research."

"The, they are not restricted by time."

"But the greatest advantage is that employers can enrich their staff with outstanding minds which do not need to get visas and travel expenses to join their companies."

Despite being wonderfully qualified to offer students and researchers professional editing and writing `help,' the company does not proofread and edit its own articles prior to publication - hence the language errors ... (there are many many more)

Now, this is the real stunner, as far as outrageous claims go:

"We were flattered to find out that the world-famous universities have recognized Masterpapers.com as the leading company which provides high-quality academic papers. Masterpapers.com writers have been given the best reward from the outstanding academicians and we really appreciate all of our writers for their hard work and the world-wide recognition."

Universities have reconised masterpapers' contribution to academia and leading academicians are giving masterpaper writers top awards for their services .... How can a person even begin to comment on that?

WB- you certainly did out him, even before he so carelessly gave himself away through contradictory posts :)

I know recommendations aren't allowed.

and WB replies:

That's right, so please don't try to get around the rule.

She emphasizes the `no recommendations' rule and refuses to confirm that Student Research is "one of the better sites." Now, if WB had any stake in Student Research (as goes the popular rumour), she would not have emphasized the `no recommendations' rule. This means that the only reason she has not attacked Student Research is because she has not found any verifiable evidence against the company and none have provided her with any such evidence, and not because she is it.

your boss joined but later left because of ugly customer feedback.

I had bad feedback - ok tell your current bosses that I have have pdf screenshots of all app 700 orders I worked on and the papers ... ask them how many of those orders Sean and Alex, etc pased onto me, grovelling and begging that I do them because their other writers had plagiarised or were simply incompetent. You are talking top writer? Hell, in 1 year I accumulated 518 reward points for positive feedback. No one had the amount of return customers I had.

E-W do not challange me on Academia-Research. It is not at all wise ... were customers to see what management/owners say about them, I doubt that they would be happy ... andwhat if they saw the amount of plagiarism which Academia-Research writers engage in (not to mention truly horrible English)?

In terms of highest earner, return customers and reward point, no one held a candle to me there. That I left was entirely due to the fact that I just couldn't take that bog which they call a company any more. Have you any idea of the extent to which they defraud customers? Pls remind your employers that I have the emails where they begged me to allow customer agents to personally pick up their work from me in London so that they could prove that they have a base in the UK. How about their begging and pleading that I mail customer work from London to prove the same? (Not just my work but those of other writers as well). FYI - never agreed to ...

Tell Alex that I know too much and can prove even more. What he doesn't know is that several of the management and Admin people who defected from that joke they call a company wanted to recruit me into the ones they were forming ... so they really spilled the beans :) Besides that, can Academia really afford the publication of the full message board of 700 orders?

Essay Services / Essay writers from India are also good? [18]

Ali,
The post you addressed to me is full of logical fallacies and sweeping generalisations.

Students who are sincere in their studies always have good level of English.

Should we follow up on this reasoning it means that a Chinese (or any other nationality) student who has studied in Chinese schools and universities throughout his academic career, will have a good grasp of English, although English was not the medium of instruction.

If Indian students are so poor in English then how is it possible that International, peer-reviewed journals are publishing the research papers and hypotheses of Indian students.

I never said that all Indian students are poor in English and, indeed, some have an excellent command of the language. As for publishing in academic journals, pls talk percentage ... what percentage of peer-reviewed academic articles have been written by Indian students and what percentage of Indian students have been published in academic journals?

Indian students and writers are competent.

Certainly not! Not all Indian students and writers are competent, just as not all British writers and students are competent. Furthermore, competency in a language does not make a writer; linguistic proficiency is required, not to mention a solid education and, generally speaking, a "way with words."

Personally speaking, I think you have presented a horribly fallacious argument.

Bash the company if it does wrong but I really don't understand what in the hell is going on here.

And the fact that he/she/it is following me around makes me suspect that it is not a student at all and is somehow behind this.

A customer signs on TODAY, makes a single post complaining that the paper was overdue and that we are a scam company 18 hrs BEFORE THE DUE TIME. And who immediately responds - Bambi! This is not the first time and it is not a coincidence.
