Is anyone else getting a security warning that goes like this: Sorry, you have been blocked from accessing this site. What gives? Why would they be blocking certain IP addresses from accessing their company site? That does not make sense. Academic writing companies are supposed to be an open access platform because they never know where their next client and payment will be coming from. Blocking IP addresses does not make sense when you run an international client base company. You limit your access to potentially paying clients that way.

When a company offers a 15% discount on your first order, regardless of what time of the year it is, I would have to ask why they would discount their writer's work that way. The amount that they charge reflects their confidence in the abilities of their writers to complete any paper that is assigned to them. This discount does not help build confidence in their writers, it only serves to harm their writers reputation since they are not going to be paying the writer full price for his work. As far as I am concerned, those discounts for first time orders should be a red flag that tells you that they are not going to have an ENL do your paper.

I have a problem with an obviously Chinese owned academic writing company that would hire a writer without a college degree, provided he can prove that he has above average writing and research abilities. I mean, huh? How can you expect a writer to produce high quality papers if he was never educated to the level that would allow him to deliver at least a basic college understanding of the topic he is supposed to be writing about? If that is one of the criteria the company uses for hiring their writers, then I would advise students to stay as far away as possible from this writing company.

Only non-English speaking writers and non- US or non - UK educated writers would struggle to write Philosophy papers. That is because their educational systems do not have a focus on Philosophy when the students get to the college level. Only Psychology students would have serious courses in Philosophy owing to their potential line of work and chosen college major. So, just make sure that you hire a writer whose educational system pays attention to Philosophy classes, at least on a primary level so that the paper you will be ordering can properly discuss whatever philosophical discussion you need.

. 100% payment should come up front. Drafts are a useless way to charge clients more for nothing, and they exasperate writers.

Actually, there are some academic writing companies that have installment plans for their clients. Academia-Research is one company that comes to mind with regards to this policy. They ask the writer to provide a draft of the paper 3 days after the order has been assigned, then the client can review the paper and decide if he wants to continue with this writer or have the writer replaced. He pays a deposit to receive a draft version, then the rest of the paper is paid for as the sections are submitted for the review and approval of the student.

The domain name of this company has been up for sale for some time now. It has not been able to sell the url simply because of the negative feedback that precedes the image of the company that once held the name. Add to that the fact that the writers that were formerly in their employ was not of the highest quality to begin with. Those writers have since moved on to other companies or, have taken the independent writer route via social media. It is important to remember that the companies that go out of business may resurface under a different name, but I do not believe that is the case here. The owners simply could not sustain the business given the type of writers they hired for the business.

The company has changed courses since the last useful post was made in this thread. Apparently, they are now selling themselves as a per semester academic aid company. That means that they enter into academic all around work with student clients for all the services they need, including test taking whenever possible. They charge a sizeable amount for this service, which guarantees the student the same writer for all of his writing needs to provide uniformity in his paper submissions. Their client of preference are now well moneyed Chinese students, which is why they have a WeChat translation for their website. Consider them at your own risk.

This company is over promising in so many levels, it is impossible to believe that they can actually deliver everything they are promising. For one thing, a PhD level professional will not be working at an academic writing company for pennies. They would be too busy with their actual career which pays far better than a pretend PhD academic writer can imagine. Do not expect to get a real PhD writer for your paper because even a PhD student will not have the time to churn out an academic paper for someone else, when he is busy trying to meet the deadlines of his own research work. This company is lying through its gritted teeth.

The UK domain name is already offline while the .Com url is up for sale. The business is still currently active. The owners are keeping it online to show the potential buyer that the url is active and bringing in clients. So they have the For Sale sign at the very top of the page, while the rest of the anchor page tries to sell the services to the students. I would be weary of any company that is trying to find a new owner even as they are trying to ply their trade online. What if they sell and the company shuts down? What happens to the orders in the pipeline then? While I do not wish for that to happen in this case, I know that is sometimes does happen based on the experience of some friends of mine.

The url for Paper Due comes back with a note that it is Help in Development Mode. I have no idea what that means. I am guessing it relates to some sort of site redevelopment though. A&B Term papers on the other hand, is still quite active and is trying to convince their site visitors that their writers are as intelligent, if not more intelligent that Albert Einstein. If you fall for that con, then you can expect to get what you deserve. I do not understand how an internet service provider like AOL, a highly respected name in the business, can allow this company to remain in a service relationship with them. I guess that is what happens when the company does not do a background check on the company hiring their services. So beware. It is up to the student to protect himself in this case.

S2papers no longer exists as an academic writing company. In fact, it does not exist in any form at the moment. It has been taken down and the domain name has not been resold. The domain name is not listed as for sale anywhere online or offline so I can only assume that the owners have either kept the name paid for under their care or, the name has not expired yet which is why it is not searchable, but not for sale either. Eitherway we should be thankful that the company is no longer around to add to the troubles of the students who are looking for an honest writing company to help them with their academic work.

The company has been rebranded as MyExamHelper.com and claims to have "A legacy of excellency in the academic world". Something that I find hard to believe since even this new company is known for scamming the students and yes, doing the unthinkable to make students worry that they would lose their academic future if they do not cave in to the demands of the blackmailer. They claim to help the students in all aspects of study, including taking exams for the students. That is the biggest red flag. No student should ever pay to have someone take a test for them. When caught, the university definitely takes action. Steer clear of this company.

They are using composite photos on their website to represent their writers. Note that they do not provide any usable information about their writers such as their actual name, location, educational degree attained, among others. There is no way to confirm the writer identity and location, which makes it dangerous to hire their services. You do not know who you are really hiring unlike some writers at this forum whose identities are long standing and verifiable. Since you will be paying good money for the service, you should at least have the confidence of knowing that you are hiring a writer who actually exists and knows his job. Since the writer is supposed to be writing a personal statement for you, the very least this company can do is allow you to interview the potential writer so that you can be assured that he knows how to write in coherent English and, actually understands the job you want done based upon the credentials you will be providing.

When it comes to quality writing and excellent client service, custompapers seems to be at the top of their game. I have yet to come across a client of theirs who had any complaints about the work of their writers. However, I have heard of clients that have cheated the company out of their fair income by placing one order and they totally changing the instructions after the paper had been submitted, forcing the writer and the company to take a pay cut to satisfy the bait and switch client. When you are dealing with an on the level company, you should treat the company in the same manner. Do not take advantage of them or their writers.

Please note the way that the company blurb is all messed up. It is missing punctuation marks in some sentences and paragraphs. It also sounds like it was written by an ESL writer for the most part. Either it was written by an ESL writer or, the poor writer was forced to write SEO keywords in a very uncomfortable manner. It was probably uncomfortable for him not being a native English speaker. Anyway, they offer unlimited revision services. This is an offer that I have begin to question lately. Shouldn't there be a limitation the revisions to be applied to an order? I mean, if you have done 12 revisions and you still haven't delivered as expected by the client, then you have no business working in the academic writing field. You should be getting it right the first time.

The URL directs to a hiring page. Even though they are one of the few academic writing companies that can somehow still manage to hire writers, I would not advise that any academic writer looking to break into the market apply at this company. Their rates are simply too low for them to hire quality writers. I am sure Freelancewriter will back me up on this. Their rates are not realistic for a talented and experienced writer. These are the prices normally paid out to 3rd world writers who would consider themselves lucky to be working in this field. Not that they would be very good at it.

Both websites contain a tremendous number of red flags if you stop to consider the way that their anchor pages are written. UK-Dissertation being the biggest culprit in this case because their copy is written to form a click bait for the SEO algorithm. The way the keywords are used haphazardly tells me that they had this copy written by 3rd world writers. The evidence is right there. The writer had no idea how to smoothly use the keywords in proper English, without sounding like it was written by the worst AI app available. Do not hire either website. A-Writer is only slightly better than the previous one, but not to a great extent. They are not the time it will take to read their outrageous claims.

This company seems to be in some sort of financial trouble. The main url redirects to a Not Hiring page. Which tells me that the company is about to go under. They are not hiring for a reason. Perhaps it is because they are not receiving enough orders to warrant new hires or, they are planning to shut down the company because they cannot bring in clients or, they end up refunding so much of their accepted orders that they have spent their capital already. Where there is no revolving capital, they cannot be an active business. Consider yourself lucky to not have been hired by this company. It sounds like they were scamming the students and the writers simultaneously.

Students have been known to resell their own papers to their classmates and fellow students which is why there are some companies, who have experienced such incidents, tend to charge for a revision when the student wants too many alterations done to the paper. The assumption is that the student is asking for these specific changes to make the paper different enough from his first order so that he can sell it to a buyer. While it is incorrect for companies to charge for these revisions, the fact that some students tend to abuse the free revision policies makes it necessary for some companies to do so.

The first few listed websites are offline already. The only one that connects to one confusing Malaysia based website is premiumhelp. The website seems to be a placeholder for something. I cannot be sure about what business it is actually engaged in. It first appeared to be a blogsite for receipes, eventually evolving into a casino and adult entertainment blogging instructional site. Whatever. At least it is no longer involved in the academic writing business. The other partner corporations are either trying to sell the domain name or, have gone totally offline, without a domain name sell in place.

Right now, writing companies are bleeding "freelance" writers that they are partnered with. The writers are opting to not use their accounts with these companies as their minds are now coming to the realization that they can actually cut out the middleman and become true freelance academic writers. They are strongly utilizing the power of forums such as EssayScam and social media channels, advertise their trade. Those who are good at their job find great success as independent writers. Those who are mediocre, end up leaving the business altogether because their only option to make money is to blackmail the students who mistakenly hire them due to their cheap prices and out of this world quality promises.

Essay Services / Edusson.com - FRAUD! Beware! [6]

Edusson.com is now out of business. Entering the URL into the address box returns an "Address Not Found" message. So the company went out of business. I am sure a lot of students are happy that the company is no longer in existence considering how fraudulent their business model is. I believe that the company was able to return such fast responses to the OP because they were dabbling with an earlier form of AI at the time. It is not that the writer's did not exist, it is that the company had a list of preferred writers who get first dibs on all orders. The system was designed to get the orders for their "best" writers, which would have then been assigned as a "Special Request" order with the actual writer.

Clients in the academic writing world, or any business for that matter, is considered a valuable gem. Without them, the business would cease to exist. So I do not understand why the OP asked this question. Why would the client not be the gem of the writer? Why would they be treated other than that highly important person upon whose mercy the income of the company or freelancer is dependent upon? It doesn't make any sense. That was perhaps meant to be a rhetorical question?

When the first thing an academic writing company hits you with is a page computation, you already know what their business model is about. They are all about the money, not the quality of the paper. They want to know what they can get out of you, not what they can do for you. Then, as you read on, you will see that they are offering discounts on the first paper you will be ordering. That is a red flag. They will do anything to get your business. As far as I am concerned, a discount on the first order is a red flag because you have not even tried the writing acumen of their writer yet. A discount should only be provided by a writer or a company for repeat clients who show a high degree of satisfaction with the papers and client service interaction that they have had with the company.

Do not be fooled by the glossy website that this company has. They charge in British Pounds for work that is done out of a 3rd world country. There is nothing in their blurbs that would prove their ability to accomplish the complex type of writing that the UK educational system requires. They are not using UK educated, or properly educated writers, for that matter. That is why nobody can expect their output to meet the grading standards of the country. It is important to hire a company or a writer that can prove a track record of writing complicated UK academic standard essays or research papers. As for evidence of these accomplishments. Make sure that they meet the UK standards and can actually deliver the grades that you require.

It's a dead link. It does not exist. I am not sure why you are building up that site considering that you have listed yourself as a freelance writer. You do not want students to use such links and resources, which would defeat the purpose of your being at this forum. The purpose being that you are trying to attract clients for yourself as a writer. Or are you an academic writing site promoter who messed up his advertisement posting? You sound more like a salesperson actually than a writer who is looking out for students and their academic writing welfare.

There is always the vocational or technical school alternative to college. You still get a degree but you do not have to waste too much time in the academic world, which can truly be costly for most people. Getting a license in a technical job can actually be seen as more value for the money spent studying and training in this case. Those who have a vocational or technical license tend to start earning faster than their college counterparts. It is also important to mention that companies have a preference for those with trained skills these days as opposed to the intellectual college types.

@unknown1 All the more you can ignore them in this case. If the company has a new domain name and email address then they have no right to continue to harass you. They are not a legitimate business whose losses were purchased by the new owner and as such, they have a right to collect on. If the original company no longer exists then, the debt is erased. Am I right @Freelancewriter? So their blackmail demands can be safely ignored and disregarded. They cannot harm you in any way.

I do not see the need for a professional writer to come up with a creative way of writing a resume for an applicant. There are way many more ways to accomplish that without having to spend for a creative way of presenting the information. Templates comes in free and paid forms for resumes, Even AI can generate a creative looking resume for someone who provides it with enough information to create one. It would be a waste of money to hire someone to create a resume for you since you are the only one who can appropriately and accurately represent your credentials in written form. It is not something that requires a writer to work on it. The formats that Canva comes up with for resumes are very creative and engaging.

The fact that this company does not even pretend to be authoritative in the field of academic essay writer is a definite red flag. The minute the anchor page loads, you will be met with the price calculator and several other cost related information. There is nothing about the actual quality of work or similar related information until you scroll down to almost the bottom of the page. A person who scrutinizes what they have written will see right through their lies and know that engaging the company to write their paper will be a problem in the future.

There is no need to spend hundreds of dollars on previously written papers when you can enter a few keywords in Gemini, ChatGPT, or some other app, and have it come back to you with a proper overview of the topic that you want to learn about.

Before things get out of hand in this thread, it is important to take note of what academic writing websites could still pose a problem for students and those that no longer pose a threat to them. Papers4you.com is one of the writing site that is no longer a danger to them since the domain name is now up for sale and seems to have been on sale for almost a year or so now. There are no takers for the domain name for some reason. I have sponge to some domain name sellers who believe that the reason writing company domain names are not selling as briskly as they would before is because the investors know that AI have cut into the business and the students tend to shy away from using writing companies in favor of AI. So while we are glad that that students are now safe from crimes that these companies normally engage in, we are saddened by the fact that they cannot tell the difference between a well written paper by a human and the trash that AI produces.

Pre-written papers have totally lost their value in the time of AI. It is understood that students can get a pre-written paper via the AI app, which will give them a somewhat originally written draft that they can base their actual essay, research paper, or thesis on. The AI written work is not to be submitted for a grade because the professors can sense that a mile away. The main problem with the pre-written AI paper is that it will most likely return plagiarized content, without ever telling the student where that bit of plagiarized, cut and paste information came from.

If it oftentimes not even necessary to use an app to detect AI. Sometimes, it is just so obvious to the seasoned teachers and writers. The fact that AI tends to write in a more casual, rather than academic tone is always a dead giveaway. Then, there are the redundant statements that the program uses to meet the word count as specified by the student. it is really becoming easier and easier to spot the difference between a paper written by a human being, and one written by an AI. The problem, is that students are so lazy that they do not even want to edit the AI manufactured paper to give it a more academic feel.

The cost for the ghost writer should also be based upon the writing experience of the human being. While there are some people who rely on AI for ghost writing these days, they have found that it is not always a good option because "I could have done better writing it myself". Let's face it, AI is manned by people on the other end. They are the ones that feed information to the AI. So what benefit does AI give you that a human being cannot deliver in a better and more accurate form?

Nobody said that traditional business models or, whatever works for you is wrong. It is just that the students these days look at other venues that are more fun and interactive for all things, including hiring writers. Audience engagement is a big deal and that is normally how the scam companies get hired by the students. It is not a reliable method of vetting writers but sometimes, the students get lucky in terms of writers they hire. Old school has its benefits and always will. Sadly, the students tend to laugh at the old ways these days, but will use it when pressed for time or if they truly trust the person doing the referral. Lucky you to have an old promotional channel that still works for you.

Even in the age of AI, students still come here to look for information about actual companies and writers. Yes, not all the students are relying on AI at this point. They are becoming cognizant of the shortcomings of AI and need guidance when hiring writers. So I agree that we need to still be strict in terms of validating the members of this forum.

We need more participants here to combat the AI trend and bring liveliness to the forum, even if it means having fights in threads like before. That at least proved writing abilities on the part of the writer member.
