WB, I think it's great that you go out and find these things, and fight these battles, for whatever reason. I'm just saying, this is some bunk ammo.

they don't want to bring down a company anyway-- ffs, it's the morning news.

joe-- a know-it-all, hack, or, if you prefer, "pet nerd."

look for my next a-c article about the connection between Martians, the government, and ancient Mesopotamian ziggurats.

I'm sorry that you think that I'm ignorant, WB. if you ever actually worked as a researcher, you would know how laughable and dangerous it is to take board posts, wikipedia, associated-content, etc., and try use them as verifiable sources.

you should get into it.

it's better than writing those fish wrappers.

a journalist is nothing but a hyena-baiting purveyor of **** imho.

<--- associated content author

along with, like, everyone else who signs up

really; an associated content article as proof? I'm ashamed...

asif,

I respect your right to your own opinion, but I disagree that America (where I'm from), Pakistan, and China somehow have the lock on scams.

a lot of the scam sites don't really seem to have a home country, because they are scams. they have to move around a lot, incorporating, dissolving, and re-incorporating, often in totally different countries, and not as a reflection on nationality in any of them.

in other words, there are scammers in every nation. this includes India, especially with the recent nature of the post1991 capitalist explosion there, and the relatively short time of deregulation, or quasi-deregulation.

to me, the very fact that you are on the site actively sort of precludes any kind of proactivity about its being useless, but I understand your frustration with personal agendas, etc. however, I think you are blaming Pakistan for its history with India, America because it's popular to blame America, and China... maybe because China is growing faster than India, and has a better educational system.

that said, again, I do agree with you about the utter disregard some essay mills have, regardless of nationality, of their writers, by daring to fine them, after already reaping over 50% profit from their labor.

the spell of crazy nationalism is so strong. let's hear from WB on this subject-- where have they been, recently?

they should go in with a film crew and film when we take control of the company's local mafia rivals, and use them to drive a forklift through their offices.

asif, where are you from?

thanks for the reply, and for being specific about your organization. speaking of scams, isn't that what an internship is?

anyway, I won't be contacting you, because I'm a writer, and I think you're looking for a pro- customer angle on this. I don't want to be demonized.

but can I give you some advice? focus on one company and really nail them to the wall; don't just do a general interest whitewash.

oh, yeah-- and that company should be, essaywriters dot net

crap. all those prayers for a class action lawsuit rep, and I get a smear-doc producer.

essaywriters.net has 200% fines, and arguing with their staff is a nightmare. they act like their own writers are scum, and always favor the customer.

all that fuss...

of course there's no blanket policy-- it's more about catering to each customer's needs. some ESL customers don't want it dumbed-down at all, depending on their skill at English, and/or level of realism about class/paper discrepancies. I'm just saying, if someone can't match their verbs, and doesn't get any prepositions right in English anyway, why not let them hire a writer who matches their (lack of) skills?

has it ever struck anyone that 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 from them in the first place. some places even tell writers to "dumb it down." my point is, why is this even an issue?

wow, thanks for telling us all again about your Wiki adventure.

Nurse--

how much I know about the Council of Nicea is irrelevant-- I just think it's funny that you had to look up Christology on Wikipedia.

you: "Christology-- what could that mean? I better make sure, w/Wiki."

that's so Wiki-wack, it makes me smile. and if you want to call me Kreskin, that's fine-- just don't you dare call yourself witty again.

you couldn't figure out what Christological meant, and you're throwing stones?

are these papers you did recently, or last month?

I don't mind working for a company that's constantly trying to steal from me. a lot of the companies I've worked for have done that. it's like a game-- it feels good catching them doing it...

provided that they, when caught red-handed, are like, "oh, ****, you caught me, here's your money, won't happen again..." and then you watch them even harder.

essaywriters.net is defintely not like, "oh, ****, you caught me," when you catch them red-handed trying to siphon your account (this only started happening to me after about 2 years working for them). they are more like, "how dare you?"

that's great for them-- I'm sure they're raking it in. if you write for them, though, it's a real headache-- not worth it, imho.

yes, my advice is to just chill for a couple of days. I can only speak from my own experience, but they usually paid pretty close to the end day of the cycle (today, in your case), sometimes a few days after, sometimes a few before. my issue with them was never non-payment; it was the siphoning that got to me.

I worked for essaywriters.net for about 2 years. they never missed a payment. but as time went on, they took more and more off the top.

of course it's their MO. but if you really didn't plagiarize, the first thing that you should do is cry out for proof, because there won't be any-- it will be quotations or works cited, picked up by their stupid computer. you can usually get the fine reversed for this.

more insidious is why and when the fine is levied. essaywriters.net is definitely out to siphon your earnings. deal with the headache and paranoia this causes, or quit.

usually a business either screws the writer or the customer-- essaywriters.net does both.

essaywriters.net-- write a bunch of papers, build up a balance, and then try to keep them from completely draining it.

ask yourself-- are you up to this Sisyphean, Kafkaesque nightmare? if so, good luck running the gauntlet of their capricious, ignorant staff.

at best, a term paper hack is a professional accessory. if anyone is a criminal in this setup, it's the customer.

the same thing that happened to pepi happened to me-- 200% fines-- outrageous! I quit the company after getting into a war with them in emails, threatening to quit unless they stopped fining 200%.

when I heard they had changed ownership, I got my account reactivated-- I'm sure they were using my account still to poach my old papers, etc. but, after working for a couple of weeks, I found the same policy-- 200% fines! there was no new ownership. the people on the phone and the administrator emails were the same-- no compromise, just a flat 200% fining structure.

essaywriters.net didn't have 200% fines when I joined them. I worked for them for maybe a year earning OK money, before they started imposing these excessive fines. I don't understand it. anyway, I work for a few other companies now, including academia-research.com, that don't have 200% fines for anything-- they treat their writers well, instead of effectively robbing them like essaywriters.net does.

so it appears to be.

here is the party line:

"Dear Writer!

The reward points are not useless to you - there is also a first class writer status that gets higher CPP then the premium. And they do matter if you want to get there. Regular writers get lower CPP then the premiums, so your rewards are already embedded in the CPP you see.

Sincerely
Vinny"

I don't believe any of it, from the first sentence.

WB, I am willing to concede that you are the master debater.

I work for a legit (as legit as it gets in this industry) brick-and-mortar paper mill near my apartment, and they have a strict policy of not promising grades. "we can't guarantee how your professor is going to feel that day," is basically how they explain it. it's always made a lot of sense to me. I'm a teacher myself, and if I don't like someone, or I'm in a ****** mood, I grade harder.

academia-research.com promises grades, which is just one of the reasons I use them as a supplementary income, not a main stream.

challenge you? where are we, Medieval Times?

"stop calling me names, *******!"

a pretend-Ukrainian to WB is like chum to a shark.

it would be hilarious if essaybrunch blew up now, and became some sort of industry monolith. get your applications ready... especially you, exwriter, you kissass!

phleelyks-- nothing against the trees, of course! to each their own...

written and spoken English are inherently different. if a good ESL writer is well trained enough in prescriptive grammar, odds are that they will actually write as good or better than a native speaker.

I'm not not OK with any fine system-- but for AR, I am willing to bite the bullet and accept the occassional $4 fine for a late deadline, or a chargeback. what I don't agree with, and what I find absolutely ******* outrageous, is the companies *EW! that fine 200%-300% on an order--outrageous! it's not fining itself that is the problem, it's the companies that are excessive in fining, to the extent that they wind up exploiting the writer. imho, if you run into a company that is going to dock you 3X what you should have made, after you already wrote the paper, the only recourse is to quit... then, support the local mafia who is against them, and then.. get into the forklift, and smash their offices!

all you did was sound inauthentic, racist, totally transparent, and a little bit amusing. no one bought it (except maybe WB).

"all our essays are written by Oxford and Cambridge grads"-- aren't there false-advertising laws in the UK?

the paranoia, the randomness, the preoccupation with brunch... I think that this chacha smokes a lot of that cheeba-cheeba, know what I mean?
