If they clearly stated that the company has a no refund policy, then it may be difficult, but not impossible to get a refund through MC, that's Mastercard. You may be able to convince the card company to do so based on acceptable grounds. The only problem I see is that credit card companies entertain questions and refunds within 30 days of bill posting. If you have already paid for this bill. Then it might be a bit difficult to prove the basis for returning your money or getting payment credit.

Make sure you never use any of the material they sent you. Not even as a model paper. Ignore everything they have said and done. There is no legal basis for their claims and they know it. To stop the bullying, bkock their email address or, even better, delete the email address they have on file qith regards to contacting you. Thwy won't be able to reach out to you anymore to harass you.

You were not a fool to cancel the dispute. You did not know any better and you did not have anyone to advise you at the time. Don't be too hard on yourself, you did what you thought was best.

The email you received is a template. The content is standard and establishes the start of blackmailing you more than anything else. Since you never gave them real data aside from payment details, ignore them. Proceed with the refund request. In response to their letter, have your lawyer respond to it. It will be a one time expense on your part but will be worth it to shut thwm up. They don't have a legal team owing to the structure of their business. So receiving an email letter head notification from your lawyer will do wonders in removing what you perceive to be a threat.

That website actually traces back to a psychic online reading. A business that has been in existence since 1999. So I am wondering if the OP did not make a mistake in posting this inquiry. I asked the members of my network and they have never heard of such a writing company. My guess is there was error in the way the OP remembered the url. Or perhaps the company, at one time, lost their domain name to a writing company which shuttered so they were able to get the name back for their legitimate business.

This is a policy that I personally believe in and have applied for several years now. Well paid writers produce excellent work. Reasonably priced work that still results in acceptable payments for the writer results in client satisfaction. It is a delicate balance that is highly difficult to achieve. However, if one has been in the business as long as I have been, finding the right balance becomes second nature already. Everyone is happy and satisfied in the end.

Then what is the use of working for them? People work to earn a living, not to lose it to fines. The company pays slave wages and engages in slave labor and you are recommending them as a writing company someone should work for? That doesn't make any sense. Are you a recruiter for the company? Do you get a referral share for every schmuck that they hire? I ask because that is what it looks like to me.

You can check out the Academic Writers section of this site, as well as the EssayBrand and EssayChat services. The reliable independent writers are found there. They are vetted and have a proven track record when it comes to client satisfaction and exemplary services. You can't go wrong when you go with the listings that the owners of this forum have taken great pains to collate for you. That is the form of reference that is allowed here.

However, the verified payment account can still be rigged to show a fictitious address. Fictitious in the sense that the address if legitimate, the person who owns the account is legitimate, everything is legitimate. The problem, is that the people do now know that there are people fronting for the actual owners. These fronts get a share of their income from the payments that come in through the fraudulent payment channel.

Considering the sacrifices that your parents went through to get you a college education of some sort, I would not have expected you to waste the chance by not working on the paper yourself. There are times when a student should pay for a paper to be completed, and there are situations where a student should show some gratitude to his parents by actually doing the work himself to avoid any misgivings or failures that have long reaching effects later on. You chose the wrong path to walk on as a college student. I hope you can somehow fix the problem you gave your parents in the future.

-Just because the company is recommended by ES through one of its sub-sections, the potential client should not take that as the only valid recommendation and believe it immediately. Though a recommended company, it is still important that the client do the keyboard and mouse work with regards to interviewing the company representatives and getting opinions regarding other people's experience with the company. You did well asking for a second opinion.


- Rather, Paypal refuses to work with academic writing companies these days. Which is why these scam companies that still manage to somehow use Paypal, do so by deceiving Paypal itself through fraudulent registration papers that make them seem like something other than an academic writing company from a 3rd rate country.

You thought wrong. They hire writers on the cheap. The writers are 3rd world ESL, which means grammar will be a definite problem in any paper that they produce. I am sad that you got scammed by this company. I guess you were pressed for time, which led to the decision to hire them, without enough background checking on the company profile and writer reputation. I hope you learned a lesson and will do better next time when choosing a writing company.

One, the other, or both. Nobody can really tell what kind of scam the company is going to run on a student. It all depends upon whether they were able to assign a writer to the paper (just a real bad paper) or, if they just let the timer run-out on the server (you won't receive anything). Now, if they found a lousy writer to do the job within a short deadline, expect to receive a paper that reflects both contents. These are the scenarios that will dictate the kind of lousy paper that you will receive.

I am not even sure if these idiots realize that they are offering to write a paper for free for the client. Which is a fantastic come-on, but questionable for a thinking client. What kind of paper would they get if it is a free paper? They thought they were writing excellent blurbs when in reality, they were feeding the potential clients more and more reasons to not hire their services due to doubt and almost exposed fraud within their blurbs.

Just like all other writing companies that promise refunds, collecting from this company is a problem. No, not just a problem, a migraine inducing, pocket emptying problem. They simply pretend to be working on the refund and then, they keep the client hanging until the poor student decides to just give up and consider everything a nightmare. If you do not want to risk having sleepless nights and a huge loss in your bank account or charge on your credit card, do not hire these people. They are professionals at the scam that they do.

The company support staff is unreliable. They are not responsive to client emails and do not respond to voice mail. It will be a cold day in hell before they answer the phone as well. While there are some clients who told me that they were willing to put up with the lousy client support because the writers mostly deliver on time and on the mark, I do believe that students should not use the service because, if client support isn't working and you have a problem with your writer, then you are in a load of trouble.

Funny how this company actually belittles its own services even before the client hires them for a job. I mean, just read the following and you will understand what I mean:

Power writing service offers customer satisfaction guarantee, so if you are not happy with the paper we provided you with, we will either review it and correct all mistakes or return you the money.

Duh?

It is your friend who is not being paid. What is it to you? Are you sure you aren't the one who wasn't paid? There is no reason for such measure of anger to come out of someone who is only posting for a friend. For that matter, why didn't your friend post at this forum himself? Is it because you were paid to pretend by a competitor company? You really sounded like the one slighted in this case, not someone you know.

@seabear You should have done more than just claim to have been a victim of the company. The forum works by informing other students about what happened to you. Whether it was a positive or negative experience, what happened to you will serve as a lesson or information for the students considering their service. As it is, your post is nothing more than a useless comment that did not help the students here at all.

The service of this company is so bad that there was a time the abused clients were considering ways of contacting Interpol just to track down these scam artists and bring them to justice. The company is, in the opinion of the complainants, run by an international ring of crooks who have managed to evade justice to this very day. It seems that they are the worst of the worst as far as these people are concerned. I feel their anger and frustration. I have never come across a set of people so angry at the company as I have now.

@tinkerman What exactly were you thinking of hiring the company to do? Was it a mere rewrite to meet the word requirement of your tutor or to add extra details? Each of those work descriptions require a different pricing quote so you would have received a price proposal that would have been quite expensive. It would have been better for you, and your pocket, to simply order a fresh paper from a reliable independent writer. Not from a writing company because those 3rd world writers will definitely destroy your original work and, even worse, not know what to do with your original work in terms of integrating it into a fresh paper.

The company seems to be shut down at the moment. I hope it was shut down permanently and not just moved to a different URL and company name. That is what these companies do you know. They just keep changing their skin like the snakes that they are. They never stay put under a single name because of the speed by which they garner a negative image among the student clients. They need to keep moving so as not to get caught as being the same company as before that scammed a student, who suddenly recognized the writing company modus.

- Wasn't it a bit too late for you to do that? I mean, considering that you placed the order and everything. Your information is already in the system and you can bet copies of your card information have been made so deleting the information from the server that you can access means nothing and does nothing to protect your privacy and potential for blackmail in the future. I hope this wasn't the case for you but I have my doubts about it.

Well, at least there was a student who was able to stop the company from robbing their account. There is something about this company that just reeks of being a scam. I guess it is the fact that their client care department could actually care less, if at all, about the client. All they care about is the payment information, which they may decide to use at a future date, after non-delivery of the paper. The OP dodged a bullet. I hope he came of the experience alright. We never did hear from him again.

The best writing service is the one that delivers what you need, without considering their promises as stated in their website. The best writing service is the company that delivers as instructed by the student. The best writing service, is the one that you feel confident using after having interviewed several of their company representatives through chat or messenger services. There is no assurance that the company or writer you choose will be the best, just that they "might" deliver as you need them to.

How should you choose a writing company? Well, you can start by looking at the DND list located in this forum. All the companies on the DND list should be avoided without question. After that, consider the discussion threads inquiring about company services or, to save yourself the trouble, just use EssayChat, EssayDirectory, EssayBrand, or some of the other vetted and recommended services by the people that run this forum. Those companies and independent writers are usually your best bet when it comes to work accuracy and reliability.

Or, you can go directly to trust trading sites like sitejabber and trustpilot, input the company name in the search field, and look at the ratings related to services. No ratings for a site should be the main red flag regarding its trustworthiness, reliability, and other factors for consideration.

You may want to try applying at writing companies first. The work experiences you gain there are the training wheels that you will need to help you decide on 2 things:

1. If academic writing is something you would want to do full-time;

2. If you will have enough skills and ability to build your own client base to launch an independent writing career.

Advertising your services won't be a problem since you can easily advertise at this forum and other places that independent writers frequent.

I have yet to come across a scam company that actually followed through on their blackmail emails. They won't gain anything by reporting academic dishonesty. They are only after the money they can fleece from the nervous student. They bank on the fear of the student regarding being reported to the university for academic dishonesty. The thought of this and the possibility of expulsion are usually enough to make the student pay for the "silence" of the company.

Since they steal images and use images without the consent of the original owner, tgen you can expect that they plagiarize essays too. Their web copy is enough evidence that thier writers will not, cannot, and should not be expected to deliver work of any quality or, to produce an academic level compliant paper.

That is because they do not ban comoanies or websites. Trustpilot is similar to ES in function. The students and other clients are free to post their comments about the company services and experiences with them, both positive and negative. The only difference being that they use a star rating system to drive the experience narrative home. Students, just like any other online saavy users, trust the stars far more than the actual text reviews when considering any purchase.

You do nothing. There is no existing evidence of an academic violation or breaking of the student honor code. He is playing a psy was on you. You were right not to cave. He never started work on the paper. Note that hw took a screenshot of a form filled out but not sent. He has nothing on you. An academic investigation will prove that if necessary. Rest easy. You are not in any sort of trouble with the university.

And here I come 9 years later posting something to respond to the OP. Yes, I know I am almost a decade late with my response, but what matters is that relevant responses are given right? I am pleased to say that custompapers.com has never portrayed itself to be anything but one of the most low key, reliable academic writing companies out there. Their website is actually unassuming and simple compared to the others who use bells and whistles to get clients. Custompapers does not do that, relying instead on the quality of their writers pool to prove that they are at the top of their game in the academic writing arena.

You have provided them with too much private information that could be used against you in the future. All the bank and credit card companies will tell you that you need not present additional ID's to prove your card ownership. The presentation of the signed card is more than enough to verify your identity. It is up to the bank or credit card company to inform you if your car was fraudulently used. Not the other way around.

Sometimes these students don't even bother to check if they are ticking off the right boxes when placing their orders. Or they carelessly check boxes just to make the gray turn clickable on the page. Even worse, some students try to get a lower price per page by choosing the options that would deliver an affordable computation for them. However, I do not think that PhD papers fall under the affordable column.

Sometimes the company does not have any choice. The writers on staff start slacking off, causing chargeback problems for the company so adjustments to the way the writers are treated have to be made. Fines and other penalties are sometimes the only way to make sure the writers keep caring about the quality of their work. Without the threat of penalties, the writers would just do what they wanted, leaving the company holding the bag for bad service they had nothing to do with.

If you are looking for a job in this industry that will not ask you to sacrifice your morals when writing "model" papers, then you have another thing coming. A majority of the students who pay for "model" papers will automatically submit these for a grade. That is why the companies promise that the writers will develop fresh, new, and never before published essays for the client. If you cannot get over such a thing happening then it would be better for you to stick to a teaching job. You never know in the academic writing business, when you might come across a student from your class who just hired you to write a paper for him. True story. It has happened several times.

They practically admitted to offering mediocre services. How stupid can they get? I mean, any student who reads such a declaration should move on to the next company. One that does not admit to the incompetence of their writers right off the bat. Talk about having bad business sense...

Just remember that they will require your credit card information as a part of the sign up process. If you want to get your paper "for free", you have to give up vital information that nobody should freely get their hands on, such as your credit card or bank information. Nope. Never sign up with any services that promises such things. They are not in the business of academic writing. They are first and foremost, data miners who will hold your information for ransom if it will suit their purposes.

Kulita sounds more like a paid poster at this forum. You know the kind. The ones that pose as a student and bad mouth a company just to help the other company try to steal clients or intercept order inquiries. The post was too long, too detailed, and too informative of the negative aspects of the writing company in question. It just feels too staged in writing as far as I am concerned. I cannot shake the feeling that the admin allowed a shill post to remain as they were unable to identify it as such when it was first posted to this thread.

One thing that the pandemic proved to everyone is that this particular field of work is recession proof. While schools may have been closed for a while, online learning helped create a new venue for the academic writer. Allowing him to continue to make a full-time living, even as the the price of everything around us succumbed to inflation, the income of the academic writer managed to adjust to the cost of living. Sure it meant working longer hours, but because of the mode of work, the longer hours were equivalent to commensurate earnings. So, as far as I am concerned, this is the only job that can help the worker have realistic income based on his financial needs.
