Students can make up their own mind whether they want to use a writer who announces he can write on just about every topic going.

Apparently, enough of them already have, according to a UK-educated and UK-based writer who doesn't think very highly of US-educated and US-based writers, generally:

Nobody who has written (literally) thousands of academic projects for a living for 20 years ever plagiarizes by accident;

Actually, I'd like to rephrase that for accuracy: There is exactly one way that an honest writer who is extremely experienced could accidentally plagiarize himself; but it has nothing to do with whether or not someone has a degree in the same field as the project. About 10 years ago, I had a project that I knew I'd seen before. I think it was either about Word War II or Constitutional Law, but I don't remember. When I was done writing it, I searched for and found the essay that I'd written for it the last time, and I was really shocked to see that I'd just written an entire paragraph, strictly off the top of my head, that was nearly word for word what I'd written several years earlier. That was a real eye-opener, because I wouldn't have thought that I could even memorize an entire paragraph and remember it years later like that if I tried, let alone recreate it verbatim without having purposely memorized it.

Obviously, I learned to check for that, ever since, by reviewing my old related projects as part of my proofreading process. I purposely don't look at them while I'm writing the new project, because I don't want to influence my writing subconsciously. When you write these essays full time for years, you do sometimes encounter the exact same essay prompts multiple times -- especially in English, History, Nursing, and Political Science courses -- and a less experienced full time writer, such as I was when this happened around 2012, might not realize it. After the first time you become aware of it, you adjust your processes, precisely to make sure that it never happens again. That's the only way that a trustworthy experienced writer could ever plagiarize something accidentally; and honest writers with decades'-old reputations to protect under a single ID that functions much like their "brand name" would never plagiarize anything deliberately. Either way, relative familiarity with the material or having a degree in the field plays no role whatsoever, regardless of whether it was deliberate plagiarism or accidental (self-)plagiarism.

Any writer offering to write on subjects they have not studied to degree level and beyond would be highly susceptible to plagiarism.

High school students and (some) college students might plagiarize accidentally. Nobody who has written (literally) thousands of academic projects for a living for 20 years ever plagiarizes by accident; it would have to be by deliberate choice by someone completely lacking integrity. No writer who declines projects outright if he can't take them in good conscience would ever plagiarize anything, ever.

Allow me to address some of your other logically-flawed arguments in this thread:

If a freelancer is boasting of writing on topics in which he/she has no qualifications you should be wary. Would you take your car for a service to a landscape gardener?

First, simply listing the subject areas that one routinely handles (or one's degrees) isn't the same thing as "boasting." Second, that's a ridiculously bad analogy. Landscapers don't necessarily have the skills to do mechanical work on any types of cars. A logical and more fair analogy to someone with a US law degree writing UK law projects (or other projects outside of his own degree areas) might be to suggest that someone who owns a Toyota shouldn't take his car to a certified Mercedes master mechanic who does car repairs as a freelance mechanic, because his formal training is on Mercedes vehicles, not Toyota vehicles. That would, at least, be a sensible analogy to the issue of writers with different types of degrees and what types of writing projects they should or shouldn't be trusted to take on.

Whether or not I'd trust a mechanic whose formal training was on Mercedes vehicles with my Toyota repairs would depend only on whether or not I had confidence that the mechanic in question is honest and could be trusted to know what mechanical projects (on any type of vehicle) he can take on with the expectation of doing high-quality work. So, if there were a forum called "MechanicScam" where a particular Mercedes-trained mechanic had been posting under the same ID as "FreelanceMechanic" for 14 years, and where all of the other legit mechanics (also) posting for a decade or more had repeatedly vouched for him over the years and referred to him as being the best freelance mechanic in the business, and repeatedly posted that they send their clients to him for mechanical fixes beyond their own abilities to handle, then, yes, I think I'd feel quite safe trusting that particular Mercedes-trained mechanic with my Toyota if he indicated that he had high confidence in his ability to do that repair very well.

Being a good writer, especially in your own opinion, is not sufficient to compensate for a lack of academic studies. .

This is obviously a reference to my earlier point that being a good writer is, in principle, one of the criteria that determine whether or not someone can be trusted to produce high-quality essays on a much wider range of subject areas than his own formal degree areas. However, I'm perfectly comfortable allowing my posts on this forum to demonstrate my basic writing (and reasoning) ability and style and to allow your posts to demonstrate yours.

If I could only write projects in the areas of my own degrees, I'd only be able to write about US Law, History, and Psychology. Meanwhile, I've written (literally) thousands of Nursing projects, ~200 UK and Euro Law projects, and hundreds of projects in (each of) Marketing, Education, Communications, Philosophy, and many other project areas; and also dozens of projects in Engineering, Aviation, Zoology, etc. In fact, I just took on a 12K-word dissertation in Dentistry, today. To date, I've had more Nursing clients than clients in any other field; and some of them have used me for over a decade, from the time they were undergraduates through their dissertations and even some of their applications and formal correspondence after they completed their studies. I have two different nurses who actually referred their daughters to me, who were children when their mothers first started using my services. Likewise, I have a retired Navy Lieutenant Colonel and an active Navy Captain, both of whom referred their sons to me for academic work in Military Science; and I've never taken a single course in either Nursing or Military Science, let alone holding a degree in either field.

Basically, someone who has the requisite writing skills to do this job well, in the first place, the intellectual ability to synthesize information from sources, and a decade or two of experience writing in a gradually-expanded range of academic areas can handle almost any project at almost any level. That doesn't mean that we know as much about the field as our clients, or that I'm qualified to be a dentist after writing this dissertation; but I can write almost anything that almost any degree program requires of its degree candidates. Obviously, the less knowledge or experience I have in any particular field the more careful I need to be before taking on the project in good conscience and the more I (may) need to rely on my clients to provide me with the source material; but that's about my only limitation as far as writing outside of the areas in which I actually hold a degree. As a client, you just need to be sure that you're dealing with a conscientious and honest writer who knows his limitations and who will not take on any projects if he lacks confidence that he can do them well.

Understand that this is something you only learn to do very gradually. I recently posted in threads revived here by others that illustrate exactly what that means. For one example, in a thread about UK Law projects, there are posts dating back to 2011, when someone who only became a client of mine later described how I flatly declined his UK Law project, precisely because I had not yet had sufficient experience with UK Law to take on his project at that time. In that same thread, I posted my (redacted) email screen showing that I eventually ended up writing that same client's UK and Euro Law projects from 2012 through 2015, and that he contacted me again much more recently about another type of project.

The last time I checked, there was no certification giving body for this occupation.

True. Those of us who have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to do this for a living are just good writers who have acquired sufficient experience over time to expand our range and depth of the areas that we can handle with competence. The two biggest problems in this industry are: (1) companies and writers whose actual intention is to scam customers by providing either nothing or nothing but copy/pasted garbage, and (2) writers (including those working for companies) who might have honest intentions, but lack a realistic sense of how good they are and what kinds of projects they can actually handle with competence. There is no such thing as any formal licensing body for academic writers, which is why prospective customers need websites such as this forum to help them identify qualified honest providers.

...these are skills that are developed during your time as a student. The only certification we have is our college degree

I'd suggest that it's not really our degrees that determine our qualifications as writers for several reasons:

(1) Many people who aren't very good writers and who could never do this job have the same degrees that some of the best of us happen to have earned;

(2) At least in my case, writing was something for which I always had a natural talent and about which all of my teachers commented, going back to middle school. As I explained in my profile thread, despite always having been a good writer, I was just as intimidated, as a student, at the prospect of having to write long essays as many of my clients are. In fact, the specific reason that I decided on law school instead of pursuing a graduate degree in a field in which I had more of an interest, such as psychology, was that law schools required comparatively little writing (and no exams except for one final exam at the end of every course); and

(3)If our degrees provided our main "training" for doing this, we wouldn't be able to expand our subject areas of confidence very much beyond whatever our major areas of studies were. Even after I started writing essays for essay companies almost 20 years ago, I avoided longer projects and I only took on projects in a relatively narrow range of subject areas. My confidence grew only gradually as I began writing longer projects and projects in different areas of study than I'd focused on as a student. Today, just for example, I've probably had more Nursing clients (all the way up to Ph.D) than students in any other field, and I've never taken a single nursing class in my life.

As a law student, I worked as a hockey skills instructor for the National Novice Hockey Association (now re-branded as Hockey North America) and as a personal fitness trainer. Nowadays, there are several tiers of hockey coach certifications awarded through USA Hockey; but I don't think there was such a thing back then. There definitely was no such thing as any "certifications" for personal trainers back then; and the situation was actually somewhat similar to the present-day situation with professional academic writers. Many bodybuilders and life-long gym rats who never competed simply printed up business cards and handed them out in gyms to establish a clientele. It was up to prospective clients to figure out for themselves which trainers provided value for their fee and which trainers either knew nothing (because their own success was mainly attributable to genetics and/or steroids) or because they were good self-promoters who didn't actually do very much for their clients besides taking all of them through the exact same workout and counting their reps out loud for them at each piece of equipment.

Finally, certification itself sometimes becomes its own scam run by certification companies, especially when they're in fields that aren't regulated by governmental entities. Nowadays, there are many types of certifications for athletic trainers, and almost all gyms require them for their employees; but that actually illustrates another problem with relying on "certifications." Today, a person who (literally) has never trained a single day in his life can take a 6 or 8-week course that charges $1,000 or more for classes and materials, but that consist of little more than memorizing the names of muscles and exercises and that teach the same CPR that the Red Cross teaches for $20. You can go from knowing nothing about training to still knowing nothing about training, let alone teaching other people how to train, but with a "certification" that allows you to get a job at a commercial gym. You simply cannot learn how to train or train other people from a course, any more than you can learn how to skate from books and lectures. That's why there are now thousands of people wearing shirts that say TRAINER in gyms all across this country who know absolutely nothing of value that they can share with their clients (for $50 or $100 per hour). To date, there's no such thing as any "license" or certification that's actually required, other than whatever certifications gyms and/or their insurance companies choose to recognize.

Rather than just banning the profile and email address, the mods and admin should look into updating their system to keep track of the IP address.

I'm sure that they already do this. The person involved is using a VPN or other proxy to evade identification by IP address; but you're making the same point that I'm making: namely, that the whole purpose of banning IP addresses is to prevent the person behind them from returning to the forum after being banned. Forum screen names and IP addresses aren't responsible for conduct that violates forum rules and that brings down the value of the entire forum to readers; the person who creates them is the entity that needs to be banned permanently. So, once someone is banned under one ID, each and every one of his subsequent IDs should also be banned immediately, as soon as it becomes obvious from his statements and posting habits that it's just the same person over and over again. If a user is only suspended temporarily, then signing up again under another alias should result in a permanent ban of that person, regardless of what new IP address or email he uses to create his 10th or 20th forum ID. Admin should also actively review his private messages, because they'll undoubtedly find that he's using his PMs to direct readers to his website.

I think it's more than obvious that all 5 of the profiles that you've listed are actually the same person, just signing up a new account immediately after his previous account gets suspended. All anybody has to do to see that is click their user names to check their profiles, which display the exact dates that each one of them signed up and got suspended or banned. The fact that they immediately jump in to continue the exact same attacks that they started under their previous IDs also makes it extremely obvious. One suggestion to admin here is to consider displaying the suspended/banned status right next to the S/N on every post so that readers see that they've been suspended or banned on all of their posts. Currently, readers would have to check their profiles to see that and most of them probably don't do that. Most online forums indicate the status of users and banned users exactly the way that I'm suggesting.

Another suggestion is to ban them immediately instead of allowing the same person to spew out vicious untrue attacks on others for weeks before admin finally takes action, one ID at a time. This delay only encourages the same person to continue signing up new accounts over and over and he'll never stop. After all, the whole purpose of suspending user accounts is to get rid of people who don't respect the forum rules and/or use their accounts for nothing but disparaging and defaming legitimate users who do respect all of the forum rules and don't come here to initiate vicious attacks on anybody. The enforcement should be directed at the person, not just the forum ID. If the person doing this used the exact same email to create each new account, that wouldn't be permitted, right? That's why he has to create a new throwaway email account for every new forum ID. So, as soon as it becomes obvious that a new ID is simply the same person under a new ID, admin should ban that new account immediately, instead of allowing several weeks of attacks under each new S/N. That's also something that most online forums do, routinely.

Yes, those 3 are obvious; but I was actually talking about some of my fellow advertisers who've never posted on this forum at all since they posted their paid review threads. I thought you were also referring to them, originally.

Company writers do not have this liberty since it is the company that sets the price and often, do not inform the student that single spaced pages cost more.

In my experience, essay companies always disclose (somewhere) how many words they provide per ordered page. When customers order single-spacing, it's usually their attempt to "specify" their way around the company's word-per-page guarantee to get twice as much writing without paying for it. Whether it's ordered that way deliberately or because they genuinely don't realize that double-spacing is standard throughout the industry, the company will usually simply send a message explaining that a single-spaced 5-pg project is charged as a 10-pg project, but that formatting it in single-spacing is no problem. Then, the customer has the option of issuing supplemental payment, shortening the project, or canceling it.

One may have atrocious spoken English skills but near perfect English written skills because there is time to perfect the witten language.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. It's easier to speak a foreign language -- and, for that matter, even your own language -- than it is to write in it. However well one speaks any language, one usually writes less well in that language. Plenty of colloquialisms and idiomatic expressions that are fine in spoken English cannot be used (or are considered glaring mistakes) in writing. Writing also exposes all sorts of mistakes that don't really interfere with understandability in spoken conversations; and writing also exposes punctuation mistakes that aren't evident in spoken English.

Essay Services / Scammed by Kenyan thesis writer [5]

I agree with Noted, except that it's difficult to know what you should have paid him based on what percentage of the project that 15 pages represented. If you didn't use any of his work, I don't think there's anything your university would do about it, even if he contacts them. Aside from trusting him with such a big project without testing him with something smaller, first, the biggest mistake you made -- from your description -- is not contacting him immediately when he blew your deadline, to notify him that he breached your contract by not making your deadline and that payment would not be forthcoming.

In this case, the company advertisers need a benefit that should be exclusive to their advertising tier which is far higher than yours and uses a different set of legal agreements and business regulations.

Actually, I used to purchase those exact same banner ads periodically when they were available, and the process was identical to the process for purchasing the advertising that I pay for here, right now. The only difference is that there's no longer a blank banner space up there that says "purchase a banner ad here" (or something like that) right next to those two that are always up there. There was no difference in any legal agreements involved and there are no business regulations that apply. (If there are, please just post a link to those regulations for my edification.) The payment recipient was also identical; I don't recall it off the top of my head, but I can look it up if you'd like.

The ONLY difference is that the company that runs this forum has made the decision not to make those opportunities available to anybody but those two companies. The only reason I'm bringing this up at all or commenting on it is because your earlier comment about this implies that companies that advertise through banner ads are, somehow, more trustworthy than anybody who advertises here in other ways, which is definitely not an accurate implication. If it's a matter of any kind of objective criteria about prospective advertisers, the forum could simply publicize them and then require prospective advertisers to meet those criteria for banner ads. The only difference seems to be the decision by the forum to reserve those banner ads to those two companies, exclusively. I've never seen any other companies up there, either. Any idea why that might be?

a company with a banner here needs to be considered on a deeper basis since they can afford to spend big to keep their image positive when it might be negative otherwise.

I used to buy banner ads here; but they haven't been available to anybody for years, except for the two companies that have them up there 24/7/365. Any idea why that might be?

I don't believe that Noted deliberately posted anything that's inaccurate, much less because he's "afraid of competition" from your site. He probably went to the website and, for whatever reason, it just didn't load for him. There'd really be no point to falsely posting that a site isn't working if that's not true, because it would be far too easy for anybody else to simply try the url for himself. Noted, I also want to apologize for our recent misunderstanding: I wasn't looking to pick a fight with you at all. Your wording in that post where you were only attempting to defend me against this (same) perpetual nuisance just didn't read to me like a defense; it read to me more like a complaint about my promotional efforts that are perfectly within the rules of this forum. Anyway, I think you provide a valuable service identifying fraudulent and unreliable essay sites, which means we're actually on the same side of things here. While I'm here (admittedly) mainly to promote my own totally legitimate business, there's really no reason that we should have a conflict when the real enemies here are the fraudulent essay companies and those whose representatives think that "competition" means fraudulently defaming and posting completely untrue fabricated accusations about other companies or writers that have been doing nothing but providing reliable high-quality essays to readers of this forum for close to a decade and a half. For my part, I'd like to bury the hatchet with you.

No kidding, Sherlock. This nonsense again? I already responded, fully and in great detail, to this false implication (that I can't handle UK law projects), and about as directly as possible, right here (in Post #17), in which I actually uploaded a screen shot of my email history documenting how many UK (and EU) law projects I provided, in between 2012 and 2020, to the forum member who started that thread: https://essayscam.org/forum/es/academic-writing-providers-orders-refunds-2897/#msg85797

As usual, you ignore all substantive responses to your false accusations and defamatory characterizations and either simply repeat them again elsewhere, or you deflect to commenting on how busy I must not be to be able to respond to you, or how long my response is. Never a single word of counterargument actually responding to any substantive point of argument. Same goes for the extensive point-by-point explanation about exactly why I choose not to post my phone # publicly (and explaining that I do provide it to my actual clients). Since then, nothing of a response from you other than more identical accusations that I must be "concealing" it for some fraudulent reason.

Not only does the post to which I just provided a link above prove that I wrote numerous UK law and EU law projects for that particular client, but another much earlier post (# 22) from that same (eventual) client of mine in that same thread actually proves that I'm always extremely honest about my relative confidence level, because I'd previously declined his UK law projects (more than a decade earlier), precisely because, at that time, I hadn't yet had enough experience with them to take on his project with sufficient good-faith confidence that I could actually do it well: https://essayscam.org/forum/es/amons-2176/#msg41552

I asked him to do a fairly complicated essay on uk law, but he would not take it because he was more familiar with US law. Any scam writer would have taken it, which proves FLW is legit, people use him.

Since then, I've probably handled as many as 200 projects on British, Scotish, Irish, Welsh, Australian, and EU law on topics including constitutional history and law, contract law, criminal law, intellectual property law, free speech, tort law, and counterterrorism. I've also handled at least a dozen timed projects that had to be scheduled in advance and completed within a speciifc time frame (ranging from just 2 hours to 2 or 3 days), with nothing but tremendous appreciation from those clients.

They believe that the students will only trust English natives from the US and UK.

Americans and British tend to be more trusted than people from the former Soviet Union and Russia.

This is true; but when it comes to academic writing, in particular, it's more that US and UK customers don't want their writers to be ESL, simply because their writing is always recognizably ESL, especially to NES teachers and professors.

I don't know what provoked that kind of animosity, because I haven't insulted you or said anything personal about you, at all; and I thanked you (least twice) in this thread for your stated intention of supporting me. I strongly disagree with what you said about me and I simply explained, strictly in objective terms, exactly why.

You must always have the last word and will never accept opposing opinions.

It has nothing to do with "having the last word." You erroneously announced that I "had a positive testimonial of [my] service deleted recently" when that thread is actually still right where it's always been; and you also announced your conclusion that I must have done that because it's "something [that I] do not wish [my] clients to provide for some reason." Obviously, I'm going to respond to that by pointing out that it's totally incorrect and by providing the link to that thread, which is exactly what I did. What should I have done, instead? Leave that erroneous statement and false accusation out there without any response? For the record, none of that relates to anybody's "opinions," either; it's about simply responding factually to your false accusation with a link that proves it was totally inaccurate.

The only thing clear is that it is impossible to have a normal interaction with you.

To me, a "normal interaction" between two people who disagree about something consists of addressing each other's points, directly, with objective counterarguments and/or statements of fact and proof, and without resorting to any nasty personalizing of the issues or insults, or with pejorative comments about each other's character or motives. Frankly, if I had erroneously accused you (or anybody) of having done something that you proved you didn't do, I'd immediately apologize for that mistake, not lash out in anger just because you pointed out my error. That, also, strikes me as a very "normal" approach to a conversation.

I will not apologize because Meo and you have chosen to take my words out of context. .... It was written in a manner that I hoped the other side would understand since they are averse to you.

I understand that and I do appreciate your intentions; but nobody is "choosing" to take your words out of context; the way you phrased that post doesn't sound supportive at all, even if you genuinely meant it to be supportive.

I believe that claims of excellence and skill should be supported by actuaI testimonies by the said students. something you do not wish your clients to provide for some reason since you had a positive testimonial of your service deleted recently.

First, here again, I think you're being very careless with your words, even if unintentionally, because I believe this is the thread to which you're referring, and it's still right where it was originally posted, right? https://essayscam.org/forum/es/experience-nycfreelancewriter-6683/ Second, I have absolutely no way to have any post or thread deleted; and third, what reason could I (or any writer here) possibly have for trying to have a positive testimonial like that deleted? So, after first having to defend myself against one very vindictive competitor who falsely accused me of having authored that positive review, myself (which isn't true) and, incidentally, also accused me of being you, (which is, very obviously and verifiably untrue, at least to you); now, I also have to defend myself against your careless erroneous announcement that I "had a positive testimonial of [my] service deleted recently."

...Evidence of which can be seen in your post above as you are now instructing / dictating upon the mods regarding how you wish to have them treat this discussion.

I'm hardly "instructing" or "dictating" anything. After 14 years here, I'm simply very accustomed to their habits and tendencies; and if I waited until after they sent my post to Off-Topic and complained by email that I was only responding directly to you, it would be too late to change anything. So, I was simply pointing out, in advance, that your post and mine are equally either ON or OFF the topic of the thread, and that there's no justification for treating them any differently.

Premium user does not translate into owner of the forum. Do not get confused by how for you can go with your paid priveleges.

Actually, you're the only one here who has repeatedly referred to "premium users" and you're the only one who has repeatedly announced that paid advertisers have posting "privileges" here that other members don't have, not me. I'm unaware of any such privileges, which is precisely why I've never solicited any of my clients to post their reviews of my services here. If that is allowed, I should definitely start doing that. To my knowledge, the only benefits of my paying to advertise would be that: (1) I'm listed where all advertisers are listed, (2) I'm not required to post as often to maintain my signature, and (3) I'm allowed to respond to inquiries through the messaging system. That's it. Otherwise, I believe that every rule that applies to everyone else here applies to me, equally; and I have followed every rule of this forum, without a single exception, for well over a decade.

I have referred my clients to him for many years because I have known him ever since I joined this forum MANY years ago. He stands as one of the most competent, honest, and trustworthy writer who, I know, will never disappoint my clients.

Thanks, Meo.

I have been on Freelancewriter's side all this time, trying to explain to his detractors why he can openly advertise his services. I try to explain why he has not violated any forum rules through his posts since he is a premium service user.

While I do understand and appreciate that you've defended me against the recent series of unprovoked malicious and untrue recent attacks against me, Meo is right, because your previous post doesn't really read that way, at all. Perhaps that was entirely unintentional on your part; but that's not how it sounds.

He may be straightforward in doing so these days but that is only because of the cut throat nature of the business and the upcoming dry season as the students start summer vacation.

I don't promote myself any differently depending on the time of the year. My only (year-round) promotional efforts on this forum consist of: (1) paying to advertise, and (2) posting in active threads approximately once every two or three days, unless I have to respond to vicious, malicious, and totally untrue unprovoked attacks on my character and legitimacy by one rival (using several different forum IDs) who chooses to engage in cut-throat tactics to disparage me. That's the entirety of my self-promotion; so just out of curiosity (and fairness), what would be a single example of my ever having initiated any kind of "cut-throat tactics" against anybody in my ~2,300 posts on this forum in 14 years? "Cut-throat" means cutting someone else's throat, not protecting your own throat against the knives of others, which is all that I've ever done. The way that I've always approached competition against all of my legitimate competitors is actually the exact opposite of "cut-throat" tactics. I've always defended them against untrue and/or unfair attacks, just as Meo did, on my behalf, above.

While I may not always agree with his professional promotion tactics,

What would be a single example of my "professional promotional tactics" with which you disagree? (This is exactly the kind of thing to which, I believe, Meo was referring.) In fact, I'd ask you for a single actual example of any of the "promotional tactics" to which you've referred, because if you can't do that, I believe you owe me an apologize for the way you phrased that post.

It sucks but we just need to accept what we cannot change. Only the mods can force him to make that change if they insist that he do so in the name of fair competition among the forum participants.

Exactly what would be a single example of something that the mods allow me to do that you think "sucks" and/or that someone might want to ask the mods to change out of "fairness in competition"? (This, in particular, doesn't sound like you're defending me, either.)

I advertise on this forum in ways that are equally available to any other writer or company and I haven't broken a single forum rule of any kind in roughly 12 years, when (admittedly) I used to contact prospective clients via the messaging system, just as all of the other totally legitimate writers here also used to do on a regular basis, before paid advertising opportunities became available. The paid advertising here, of which I happen to choose to avail myself, is an option that's equally and fairly available to anybody who wants to purchase it, isn't it?

To the Mods: This post is simply a direct response to several very specific comments about me in Post #18; therefore, it is no more and no less on or off the thread topic than the post to which I'm responding directly. So, either both of these posts are "off-topic" or neither of them is. Thank you.

From what I have heard, it is possible to take these courseworks and tests online with a reliable completer.

I actually do these on a fairly regular basis. Clients just need to coordinate a specific date and time with me in advance so that I can schedule that time on my calendar. Then, they just paste me the questions in an email and I return the answers to them within whatever time period is allowed. Typically, whatever amount of time they allow for students is much more time than I actually need to do them; so there's plenty of time to spare, even with the back and forth by email.

FYI, MeoKhan is another writer who has referred his clients to me for projects out of his depth for years, most recently, about a month and a half ago for an LLB client. No need to take my word for it, either. Just ask him yourself how satisfied his clients have been with my work.

Easy to say isn't it

Yes, it's quite easy just to say; but it would be nearly impossible to prove if it weren't 100% true.

I'm attaching screenshots of my email history with this client as a PDF file (viewable at the bottom of this post), documenting that everything I've represented about having written UK and EU law projects for him from 2012 through 2015 is 100% true. (Obviously, I've obscured his entire email address except for 2 letters that will enable anybody who's curious about this to see that all of the displayed emails are from the same person, and that those emails are the same as that of the person whose first emails came to me through the forum messaging system, displaying his forum ID in the subject field.)

As you can see, Lazy Skeptic first contacted me about his UK LLB project on March 19, 2011, using the forum messaging system, and I've circled the subject field of that email displaying his forum ID. At that time, I'd only written a few UK law projects, and all for clients who had been able to provide me with all of the necessary course material and case law. Lazy Skeptic wasn't able to provide me with all of the material that I would have needed; so I declined his project, because I just wasn't sufficiently confident that I'd be able to do the project well without it, and because I always err on the safe side when it comes to accepting projects if I can't take them with very high confidence that I'll be able to do them well. I'd much rather pass up that one project and earn the client's trust for the future, which is precisely what happened in this case.

On April 26, 2011, Lazy Skeptic posted in this other thread to share his only experience with me, to date: https://essayscam.org/forum/es/amons-2176/#msg41552

I have never used FLW, But i can tell you he is the real deal. I asked him to do a fairly complicated essay on uk law, but he would not take it because he was more familiar with US law...

This quote had to be edited for length to fit within the maximum length allowed; but it appears in its entirety, both in the original thread linked above and in my Review Thread here: https://essayscam.org/forum/rs/nycfreelancewriter-info-users-reviews-5579/

Subsequently, in July of 2011, LS contacted me again with a different UK law project that I was able to take with high confidence. As our entire email history documents, I wrote various UK and EU law projects for him in between July of 2012 and March of 2015, exactly as I mentioned earlier; and he contacted me again in 2020 about an application (whose specific type I've also obscured on subject field of that email on the image, for his sake), also, exactly as I mentioned earlier, truthfully.

More generally, I don't lie about anything on this forum, whether about my own (US) law degree, my work experience as a writer/editor for the US federal government (in NYC at 26 Federal Plaza), my experiences and internal reputation as one of the top essay-company writers for one of the biggest and best legit US essay companies from 2003 to 2013, and as an independent freelance writer from roughly 2000 through the present. I don't lie about my policies or about my reasons for what information I choose to include and/or exclude from my website, either, contrary to your accusations and insinuations.

plus more self publicity.

As I've explained before, "Jeannie," there are really only three main categories of people who read and post on this forum:

(1) Students who hope to avoid being scammed or being scammed again;
(2) Writers and Essay-Company Reps who admit to being one or the other; and
(3) Writers and Essay-Company Reps who don't disclose or admit to being one or the other and who pretend to be here for some "other" reason, such as their altruistic desire to "help" students avoid scams.

Unfortunately, there's also ONE very nasty and vindictive former essay-company writer who lurks here but posts (here and on Essay Chat) for no other reason than to launch totally unprovoked attacks on one of his competitors and who is obviously so consumed with his hatred that it doesn't seem to occur to him that there's really no point to changing his gender and creating a new ID exactly one day after one of his other (many) IDs ("UKLawEssays") was suspended, if he's going to use that new ID just to pick up his unprovoked attacks right where he left off in some of the exact same threads as his previous attacks (as "UKLawEssays, "OrchidGoblin," and "Editor75," and under about 6 other IDs, most of whose posts can now only be viewed in the OFF-TOPIC area, to which only registered members have access).

There are no altruists here. I understand that part of your mantra (and excuse) for constantly disparaging me (falsely with what you know are outright lies) is that my "promoting" myself violates your strict sense of ethics and morals. I've provided quite a bit of very useful information to students in the 14 years that I've been posting here under this one S/N; and yes, I do take every possible opportunity to promote myself in that process. I do so without breaking any forum rules, by demonstrating that I can write well, by sharing my insight into the industry, by providing very good advice about how to avoid getting scammed or disappointed by essay companies and writers, and, yes, by paying to advertise here.

The fact that I choose to advertise here has always been a particular source of your bitter hatred (mostly as "RustyIronChains" and "Editor75"), which is baffling to anybody sane, because it's really none of your business that this forum chooses to provide paid advertising opportunities and that I choose to avail myself of them. Perhaps, you should consider just living within your means and driving a Toyota, as I do, so that you, too, might be able to pay to advertise here (since you've obviously been monitoring this forum quite closely for years, despite bragging about not needing to work in this industry, making "real money," "shopping Mercedes," how you live in a "pretty big house," and about being a "published author.")

https://essayscam.org/forum/wc/fraud-galore-academia-research-1287/2/#msg22726

I'm the ace in the hole of several prominent companies, a successful published author, and I am shopping Mercedes on what I have earned backhanded in this lame and corrupt, unsinkable shadow industry.

https://essayscam.org/forum/gt/thing-paper-1619/2/#msg61212

I'm a published author with a pretty big house ... although I do moonlight in this cess-pit ... *[so, I'm not] jealous of an ex government hack's ability to churn out dreck for kids who can't do their homework, isn't it?

... clients like to talk to the person doing the writing. ... [and]* would rather deal with the one person they know will be writing their essay. ... I would never order from a person not displaying a contact number on their website.

It's perfectly fine for you to have that preference, Jeannie; and it's every client's prerogative to decide how to choose a writer or essay company according to whatever criteria he or she chooses. Just for the record, when my clients choose me, they are always communicating with the person who will be writing their essays; I just happen to prefer email for client communications.

It might be worth buying a phone specifically for client contact so that they don't bother you when you are socialising for example.

Thank you, but I'm perfectly happy doing business exactly the way that I've been doing it for about 20 years, now. If there are some clients who choose not to use me just because I don't publish my phone number, that's fine and I accept their choice without any resentment. My preference for email over phone actually has nothing to do with my work, in particular, either. I prefer email to phone in general, and it also applies to my communications with my fellow directors on our co-op building board of directors and with any shareholder-tenant who needs to reach me, as well as to coordinating with the guys with whom I play hockey. All of them use the phone (and text messages) much more than email; but they all know that my preference is to do everything by email. I respond to emails pretty much 24/7/365 unless I'm sleeping and my cell phone often stays off for days at a time. It's just my personal preference and nothing more.

Someone who has nothing to hide would publish a phone number.

While your criteria for choosing what writer you decide to use are entirely your business, this is a declarative statement that's simply neither fair nor accurate. I have absolutely nothing to "hide" from my prospective clients; and my actual clients are welcome to my phone number if they'd like to have it, just for emergencies. I detailed 6 perfectly sensible reasons (in Posts 29 and 31 of this thread) that a totally legitimate writer might simply prefer not to publish a phone # on a website. Nowadays, anyone can obtain an additional phone number at a nominal cost. As I already mentioned earlier in this thread, every single essay company that has been implicated in scams detailed elsewhere on this forum, as well as the essay company whose telephone conversation with the OP appears in transcript form in the first post in this thread publishes a phone number on its website. So, objectively, the availability of a phone number actually provides absolutely no guarantee of legitimacy, whatsoever. It's none of my business how you choose what writer or essay company to trust; but you have absolutely no basis for implying that I must have something to "hide" just because I don't want phone calls at all hours of the day and night from anybody and everybody merely consideringbecoming a client before he or she actually is a client of mine.

Welcome to the forum, Jeannie. Are you a student currently looking for a writer, a student who's already been scammed or let down by a writer or essay company you already tried, or are you involved in this industry somewhere on the provider side of things?

Have you ever considered posting a message or notice somewhere in your...page about it? Maybe it will end the unsolicited applications submissions that waste your time.

Actually, I don't think most of them ever bother even reading my website, because that's usually not how they contact me. Most of them probably find me right here. I'm just saying that's another type of phone call that I definitely don't need. There's nothing on my site that suggests, even remotely, that I'm an employer of any kind: everything about my services on there is in first person and nothing there refers to "writers" or even my "company." The same ones who email me again after I respond once letting them know that I'm not an employer would just ignore anything about it on my site and call my phone # if it were available to them. Most of them seem to believe that they're such good writers that their resumes and samples will convince me to hire them, even after I tell them that I'm not an employer. Meanwhile, their emails are full of idiomatic and other mistakes that nobody who has any business considering himself a "writer" would ever make.

Totally Legitimate Reason #6 That Honest Writers Might Choose Not To Post a Phone Number

6. I've mentioned before that I already get about one email every month or more from other "writers" (and almost always, obviously ESL) asking about "working with" me. At first, I used to just delete them; but they'd often follow up a few days later with another email. So, now, I usually respond just to tell them that I work alone and that I'm not an employer and I wish them the best of luck, but ask them not to email me again. Some of them actually respond to that by emailing me again, trying to convince me to review their resumes and writing samples and to give them a "chance." If I posted my phone number, I'd be getting phone calls from all of them, too.

A Public Phone Number Says Absolutely Nothing About the Legitimacy of Essay Providers. Here's why:

Almost every fraudulent scam essay company ever discussed on this forum prominently features a phone number right on its website. There's no need to take my word for this: Just use the search function right here on this forum for terms like "blackmailed by" and "scammed by" and "plagiarized" and then check all of the websites that correspond to forum threads in which they're mentioned in connection with ripping off or blackmailing their customers. Every one of them, except one, I believe, displays a phone number. So, one thing you can be sure of, and without just taking my word for anything, is that it means absolutely nothing in terms of the probable legitimacy and trustworthiness of an essay provider that there's a phone number on the website.

Isn't It Helpful To Be Able To Reach an Essay Company or a Writer by Phone?

Essay companies that do provide a phone number do so for several reasons, all of which are intended to benefit them, not their customers. The main purpose of providing a phone contact option (as well as a chat function) is for their sales reps to sell you a project the first time you call them. More specifically, their job is to sell you a project that you'd otherwise not commit to just yet, during your very first phone inquiry. Their job is to turn as many initial phone inquiries into immediate sales as possible. So, they cheerfully assure you that they have the "perfect writer to assign to your project" who, coincidentally, "just completed a PhD. dissertation" in the exact area of whatever your project is about. They reassure you about their money-back satisfaction "guarantee" and/or "unlimited free revisions"; and if you're ready to order during your first phone call, they can "get you" a 20% discount. The other part of their jobs is handling complaints. Again, no need to take my word for anything: simply search terms like "chat" or "phone" or "scammed" or "blackmail" and read the accounts (and full-text chat logs) of some of the same company reps who sold them their projects refuse refunds for way-overdue projects, ignore legitimate complaints about unusable ESL gibberish and/or clearly plagiarized content and/or about projects that fulfilled none of the major requirements in the project specs, and, eventually, just terminate their communications and "ghost" complaining clients, thereafter. Many of those threads (including two or three very current ones) provide detailed accounts of being threatened with exposure of their transaction to their schools in connection with completely bogus legalese word salad threats and justifications about "recovering copyrights" and other fabricated nonsense. What's the one thing that all of those sites have in common? A contact phone number on their websites.

The other common purpose of displaying a phone number is simply to misrepresent the real physical location of the company by rerouting phone calls from phone numbers corresponding to landlines in whatever country and city they want you to believe they're located.

Are There Totally Legitimate Reasons That Honest Writers Would Choose Not to Post a Phone Number?

I think so. I'll just list some of my reasons and you can decide for yourselves:

1.I want us both to have a complete written record of our entire communications history so that there's the smallest possible opportunity for any kinds of misunderstandings, miscommunications, conflicting memories, etc.

2.No matter what we could discuss by phone, it will also have to be memorialized in written form, such as in email, anyway. Why would I want to spend time doing both, unnecessarily? I'm not going to keep a notebook of what clients tell me by phone; and I'm certainly not going to spend my time taking written notes of phone calls of projects that never even get ordered. Roughly half the people who contact me actually become clients. I have no idea which ones will become clients and I want written records going back to that first inquiry. So, the only thing a phone number would do for me is waste my time having to take notes of what should simply be in our emails where it's easily searchable and where inquiries that don't become orders take as little of my time as possible.

3.Phone calls need to be answered in real time or recorded, listened to, and returned. Emails are transmitted and received in real time but they allow you to multi-task. One of the reasons that I'm a writer in the first place is that I'm really comfortable being home almost all the time. I monitor my emails on at least 3 screens in different rooms pretty close to 24/7/365 unless I happen to be out or sleeping. Emails at all hours of the day and night don't bother me, because I can deal with them while I'm doing other things. If I'm working out, I can monitor and respond to emails while I'm resting in between sets. If I'm writing, I can check emails as soon as I make my deadline or whenever I take a break. Either way, I decide when to spend time on customer service when it doesn't interrupt whatever else I'm doing. Phone calls at all hours of the day and night and anytime while I'm already doing something else (which is almost always) are a totally different matter and just not right for me. Same goes for sitting on the phone taking notes of conversations with clients instead of just referring to their prior emails.

4.I'm just one-person with a simple website, not a company employing phone sales reps or customer service reps. I don't need a phone call to give you my confidence level with a project and the price; more importantly, I can't possibly provide either without seeing all of the specs and the deadline, length, any and all instructions and any sources you'll be providing and/or requiring for the project. So, you're going to have to email me all of that, anyway.

5.I'm never going to try to talk anybody into ordering a project before that person is ready to order it (unless you inquire about an already-borderline-ridiculous rush deadline for a ton of work that would require me to start reorganizing my whole work and non-work schedules for the next 2 days immediately). So, I don't need any phone calls about projects, especially before they're ordered. Once someone is client, that person is welcome to my phone number; but even then, the only purpose of it is in case of some real emergency or something like an Internet outage that makes emailing impossible. The last thing I ever want, even from someone who's already a client, is a phone call that's unnecessary, for me. In 20 years and over 10,000 projects, I've needed to talk to clients about (academic) projects on the phone maybe 3 or 4 times. Almost everything that prospective clients would be asking me by phone is either: (1) already very clearly addressed in my FAQs; or (2) something that I'd need to look at and/or an exchange that I'd want to have in a written email record, anyway.

What If Some People Just Want To Talk To You Before Placing an Order?

That depends. It's only about 3 times in 20 years that I was the one who needed a phone conversation about a project; but if I had to guess, I'd say maybe one client per year asks me something that makes as much sense for me to discuss or explain by phone, and maybe one or two clients per year have wanted just to hear my voice and (non) accent and/or to confirm that I'm really located in NYC, where I represent myself to be located. I have no problem with providing my number for any of that if nothing about the exchanges with that prospective client makes me uncomfortable providing my number. But I will not have substantive conversations about projects by phone, because I won't remember them and won't have a record of them. Clients typically have to worry about one or two projects at a time every few weeks for a few months or so. I have projects and due dates on almost every day of my calendar 30 days a month and 12 months a year. If you call me with a question a week after you received your project, that's probably a dozen or more projects in my past. I'd need to review our email history to discuss your project and I want all our exchanges before and after the fact in writing. Finally, I've been doing this and answering emails about work for long enough to know that the vast majority of questions that would come from new inquirers calling my phone if I posted my number on my website would be the exact same questions already very clearly answered in my FAQs that I now get all the time by email, which is annoying enough. I'm sorry, but I just don't have the patience for that by telephone.

@FreelanceWriter Can you provide any details with regards to the order completion?...Would you happen to know if the client was satisfied or more than satisfied with his work?

I confirmed that the order was actually posted on the company board and that it included the client's request for PV under his company ID. Apparently, he was happy with his work, because I know that he continued using PV for many projects, afterwards. Both PV and I tended to receive many requests from company clients and both of us typically retained our clients from the time they received their first projects from us until they completed their courses of study.

Was PV one of their "industry experts" ?

I figured you already knew that there's really no such thing. Bona fide experts in specific academic fields don't typically become academic writers for hire, except, perhaps, very briefly until they secure jobs in their respective fields or while they're in between real jobs in their fields; likewise, there really are no "unemployed professors" (or, especially, employed professors) writing academic projects for hire, either. I don't consider myself an "expert" in US law, just because I happen to have a degree in the field. PV and I just acquired enough experience after writing thousands of projects in hundreds of different fields that very few subject areas are outside of our ability to write projects at least as well, and almost always much better, than just about any students assigned projects in any academic field of study that we cover. That doesn't mean that we know more about nursing or political science or marketing (etc.) than students on track to receive degrees in those fields; but written academic assignments don't test substantive knowledge, unless they're expected to be written in real time and without consulting any materials, as is the case with in-class exams. After as many projects as I've written, there are actually plenty of underclass college classes in which I could probably do as well on live exams as most students, even in real time and without any sources; but writing projects with sources and a deadline is much more dependent on one's ability to research and to write well than it is on one's knowledge or expertise in the field.

What was the paper about?

I wouldn't want to publicize the details for the client's sake, notwithstanding that this project was ordered 13 years ago; but it was a 12-page section to start a dissertation about Dell Computers and their supply chain. Actually, this is an example of how a good writer can become proficient in more subject areas from experience. In 2009, I could not take this particular project in good conscience, because I just wasn't sufficiently confident that I could do a good job on it, especially at the post-grad level. Today, I wouldn't hesitate to take that same project at all. That was also once the case with UK Law, because I just wasn't familiar enough with the differences between US and UK law and I used to err on the safe side by declining most of those projects. Today, I feel very confident with UK law (especially if clients can provide source material for them) and I handle them quite routinely, and well enough that all of my UK law clients become regulars until they receive their degrees.

Is PV still an active writer who can be directly contacted by students here (as an option if you are unavailable?)

PV was the most experienced, prolific, and successful academic writer I ever met. We competed against one another directly for company projects as well as for freelance clients for many years; but we always did so honestly and honorably, and above board, and without ever trying to undermine one another's reputation with lies or personal attacks. We used to refer clients to one another in certain subject-matter areas and we also provided emergency backup for one another, on occasion. He retired about 3 years ago and he referred all of his regular clients to me, for which I'm still very thankful.

The OP of this thread contacted me about this project back in 2009, through the forum's direct messaging system. I wasn't able to take it so I referred him to the essay company that I was writing for at the time and told him to request Professor Verb by his company ID, because that was before I knew him on the forum. I just knew that he was one of the only company writers who received as many customers requests on the company project board as I did. He placed the order and I confirmed that it was actually posted on the board.

I get unsolicited emails from Kenyan writers all the time asking to "work with" me, complete with their resumes and writing samples. Sometimes, they're honest about being Kenyan; other times, they use one of those obviously fake American names, like "Mike Rogers." Whether they're honest about their nationality or not, the one thing they always have in common is that it's immediately obvious, just from their emails, that they can't write English well enough to provide high-quality academic writing.

As FLW can attest, proper organizations have writers on staff who job is to complete their written work. Any "organization" that would hire outside of the org is definitely questionable.

The companies are usually where the writers who lack skills and/or misrepresent their skills are to be found.

I'm currently working on a 9,000-wd semi-rush project that my client already ordered from a company with a much bigger advertising presence than mine. After she got a price quote from me, she said she was going to try them because they gave her a lower price. I tried to warn her about only ordering the first 1,000 words before trusting them with the whole project; but my email went to her spam folder and by the time she saw it, she'd already placed the order. The work she received was, quite predictably, totally unusable, and she ended up paying me my original price after wasting approximately 60% of that amount on my competitor. It was a shorter deadline, obviously, but I just didn't have the heart to charge her more for it.

Then there is a high likelihood that he was also the person who started attacking you in the chat section.

I realize that. His life must not be going very well for him to continue stalking both of these forums and to start launching these totally unprovoked attacks all over again out of the blue, after years of relative silence. It's always the same mantra: I'm abusing the forum by promoting my service and by paying to advertise, I never really graduated from law school, my website is horrible, I'm a braggart (even though he's the only one ever bragging about his house and cars and how much he "doesn't need" to work in this industry), my writing is boring and terrible, and everything I've ever said about having been one of the top 3 or 4 writers out of the hundreds at the biggest and best American essay company is all a lie). The only new element is that he's now also accusing me of having multiple IDs on the forum, including yours. I don't believe there are two different human beings on this planet busy stalking my website and my posts on these two forums. It's all the same psychopath who used to post here as Editor75, and before that, as RustyIronChains.

@Noted
Thank you, but it's neither your fault nor the fault of the OP, who is a legit client of mine and intended only to leave an honest review of my services.

I do ignore him as much as possible; but when he makes specific accusations, such as about my having multiple aliases in this thread, I can't allow them to go without a response. As you know, many readers of this forum aren't even registered members, and they have no idea what to believe when someone makes those kinds of accusations. My responses are never actually for his benefit, but for the benefit of anybody reading this who might actually believe his nonsense if I don't respond to it.

"LawEssayUK" is obviously the same person who used to post here as Rusty Iron Chains before he created his Editor75 persona. As Rusty, he used to claim to be a published author who only moonlighted in this industry, which he called a "cesspit." He also bragged several times about the size of his house and about "Mercedes shopping" in addition to saying that all customers of essay companies "deserve to be scammed" and he admitted to re-selling old essays that belonged to others. He also wrote a book (which he self-published) that detailed how he was a successful rip-off artist in several different industries.

He then reinvented himself as Editor75, and under that new ID, he suddenly became a white knight, policing this forum for perceived rules infractions and instigating many totally unprovoked attacks on me. The last thread to which I linked makes it obvious that it's the same person: stalking my posts, stalking my website, referring to how bad my writing is, accusing me of "promoting" myself for just posting in threads, and claiming that I never really graduated from law school. About the only thing he left out so far as "LawEssayUK" is calling me "old" and an "ex-jock." The similarities between his specific accusations make it obvious that it's the same person. The only difference is that he's using an ID that he created while still active here as Editor75 and that he's pretending to be British. The ridiculous overkill in how many times he specifically refers to being British and (especially) the way he repeatedly calls me a "yank" makes it conspicuously obvious that he's trying a bit too hard to sell his new "British" persona.

Editor75 was obviously the same person whose last dozen or so IDs were banned with all of his posts (mostly attacking you and Cite) sent to the Trash/Off-Topic areas. The other day, when I mentioned Editor75 in this thread https://essayscam.org/forum/es/genuine-companies-outsource-esl-writers-personal-473/#msg85599

he immediately reappeared under a new ID the same day as "OrchidGoblin" and resumed his usual attacks on me. Obviously, he's been lurking and monitoring this forum like a demented stalker, even though his main ID was banned years ago. Since then, he's been periodically rejoining under new ID after new ID and getting banned for trolling the Admin, Cite, and you. Anybody who bothers to check the last few threads I linked will spot the unmistakable similarity immediately.

The day I take lessons from a Yank who uses the phrase 'and I fix grammar in the stuff' will be a long time hence

No, you'd rather just ignore what every authority on English (on both continents) knows about the obvious difference between imply and infer exactly the same way WB once tried to defend referring to the "amount" of mistakes instead of number of mistakes rather than simply admitting to being wrong in that old thread I linked before. Are you sure that YOU aren't actually WB? In any case, you should spend more time worrying about your own grammar and word usage instead of worrying about mine.

No need to take my word for it:
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/grammar/british-grammar/imply-or-infer
Imply or infer?
Grammar > Easily confused words > Imply or infer?
from English Grammar Today


We imply something by what we say. We infer something from what somebody else says. The main difference between these two words is that a speaker can imply, but a listener can only infer. When someone implies something, they put the suggestion into the message: Are you implying that the team cheated?

When someone infers something, they take the suggestion out of the message. In order to underline this difference, infer is used with the preposition from: Then I think we must infer from what they said that they believe we should reapply for the job.

Typical error: We don't use infer to refer to what someone has said:
Are you implying that I cheated?
Not: Are you "inferring" that I cheated?

-----------------------

You are desperate now. Your website says 2009-2021 but in case you hadn't noticed it's 2022.

Look who's talking about being "desperate": You're spending your time (and requiring me to waste mine) stalking a competitor's website and scraping the barrel for mistakes to attack, such as the fact that I haven't gotten around to updating the copyright notice to 2022. Regarding my use of "stuff," anybody rational understands the difference between a mistake and the informal use of colloquialism in a forum post. I believe I also once used the word "ain't" right in the title of a thread that I started; that wasn't a "mistake," either. https://essayscam.org/forum/gt/thing-paper-1619/

I'm also going to "infer" from the content and style of your hatred and unprovoked attacks on me that you're also just another of Editor75's endless list of identities on this forum. The only difference between this one and your other dozen or so is that you apparently created this one while your main ID was still active.

If you paid any attention to Noted's earlier content on this forum, you'd see that he spent months vouching for and specifically recommended a totally different essay company that's a direct competitor of mine. In fact, that was my only problem with him. If I were going to adopt an "alias" here, I obviously wouldn't have used it for about a year recommending only one of my competitors instead of my own services. The same goes for your dishonest accusations about me "policing" this forum as WB. That particular forum member repeatedly accused me of "stealing" from his/her essay company because I'd simply mentioned which essay companies I was writing for when I first joined and introduced myself here in 2008. According to him/her, my mentioning those websites amounted to "stealing" their customers every time any forum member decided to use me instead of one of those companies. Your accusation that either of those members (or the actual client of mine who left the positive review that seems to have provoked your attacks) is an "alias" of mine is ridiculous. Nobody needs to take my word for that, because a review of their posting histories would make that quite obvious.

Exhibit A:

You introduced yourself as a "writer for *********," therefore garnering consumer confidence through *********'s name recognition. You then admittedly received several orders from EssayScam members who would have otherwise gone directly to [those]* sites you listed as employers. Therefore, you stole money from the company.

You seem to have overlooked the grammatical errors I pointed out. Are these the type of errors a genuine non-practicing attorney would make.

Actually, you don't cover grammar in law school, and I fix grammar in the stuff I edit for practicing lawyers all the time. For example, it was about 10 years before law school when I learned the difference between "infer" (which only the reader or listener ever does) and "imply" -- which is the word you actually want in this latest unprovoked diatribe of yours -- as well as in another thread, while you're presuming to evaluate the grammar on the website of the competitor whose website and forum posts you've decided to spend your valuable time stalking, instead of building up your own business by simply providing excellent work to clients, as I have for 20+ years.

putting that image directly by your bio infers that the person is you.

Passive aggressive is your technique.

Kindly provide a single example of my passive-aggressiveness.

Your insatiable need to justify and forensically examine everything is worrying.

I'm not going to allow you to post outrageously false accusations without responding to them. So far, I've directly addressed each of your false accusations and either provided evidence sufficient to disprove your claims -- at least to any rational objective reader -- or I've asked you to back up your false claims my providing an example. In every case, you've simply ignored the evidence and repeated your accusation and you've ignored the request to provide any example to substantiate your accusation. For example, you've implied that I've been a "bully"; but you ignored my request for you to provide a single example of my ever having "bullied" anybody. Likewise, you've also accused me of being "Writers Beware"; but when I provided links to old threads (and examples of threads started by WB that no freelancer would ever have started, because they only steered customers away from any freelancer) to demonstrate why this is a ridiculous accusation, you've simply ignored that and repeated your accusations, as you just did here, by implication, in relation to "aliases" and to "policing" the forum.

You and your aliases police the forum and have a pathetic need to have the last word on nearly every post.

Again, I have no "aliases" and you can check directly with forum Admin if you don't want to take my word that I'm not associated with Noted or with Writers Beware (or with Writers 2 Beware, either). Nor am I associated in any (dishonest) way with the OP of this thread that seems to have set you off. Kindly provide a single example of my ever having attempted to "police" this forum anywhere in the 14 years that I've been here under this one ID. The OP of this thread is a genuine client of mine who can be contacted directly through the messaging system and his experience with my work mirrors the experience of just about every client of mine for 20+ years.

You confuse stalking with someone who calls you out. ... If you were that busy you wouldn't have time to police this forum on a full time basis.

I'm not the one initiating vicious and totally unprovoked attacks or making totally untrue accusations against a competitor who has never directed a single word at me, before. I'm not the one spending my time picking through your website and posting about your writing, your prices, or your (obviously) stock photos that you selected for your site. My posts contribute substantively to the actual topics of threads; your posts don't address any thread topic and consist of nothing but personal attacks against me. I post here, on average, about once every 2 or 3 days and always directly on the topic of existing threads. This is the (only) way that I actively publicize my services here. You add nothing of substance to any thread and, apparently, come here for no purpose other than to defame me with completely fabricated accusations and lies.

blatant example of your self-publicity machine

I "publicize" myself here in exactly two, and only two ways: (1) by demonstrating my writing ability in forum posts and (2) by paying to list my profile and website. Both of those are completely within the rules and totally above-board. As I have suggested many times, there are really only three types of forum participants on this forum: (1) writers and company reps looking for clients who openly admit to being writers and company reps, (2) students and other prospective customers for essay-writing services, and (3) writers and company reps who don't admit to being writers and company reps, and who pretend to be "observers" interested in this forum for "other" reasons, despite having no financial interest in selling essays. Obviously, nobody sane who doesn't sell essays in some capacity or who doesn't need to find someone who does would ever have any reason to waste time here.

... I can command £350 for 1,000 words. I wouldn't get out of bed for $30/pg although It might be the American way, cheap and cheerful.

Right. You'll only get out of bed (for free and right smack in the middle of the busiest essay season all year) to stalk someone else's website and to launch totally unprovoked vicious personal attacks in multiple threads and to make ridiculous completely false accusations against someone who has never directed a single post toward you.
