Obviously the business plan that was being developed did not become a reality. Probably because of the lack of support from the people in the business and, the in-fighting that existed at the time at this forum. The OP was asking for some help. Instead he was pelted with accusations and suspicions. I am glad that the phase of forum fighting is over at this forum. The disappearance of those users brought for focus of the forum back to where it should always be, on helping the students avoid getting scammed.

The company website could have been better designed. It looks like my 2 year old nephew threw up on the page. The fact that they do not have any actual photos, not even stock free pictures of men and women to pose as writers should tell you how much of a scam company this is. How can you hire anybody from a company that looks like it was designed by a kid learning how to code? I would not trust this website and its writers regardless of the affordability of their prices.

dissertationdom.uk is no longer an active domain name. It has been taken down from the server although the anchor page seems to still be active. The other 2 domain names also have handshake problems in relation to anchor page loading. It is safe to say that all 3 domain names lead back to only 1 company, which is now officially offline. It is not something that students need to worry about anymore. They can do no more harm.

They did something or not?

Not. They did not do anything because the student knew better than to let them scare him into submission. Also, students who resolve the situation successfully prefer not to talk about what happened after out of fear that the situation might be reopened and they would have to deal with it all over again. Confirm the information that FreelanceWriter provided above. DM the student directly and talk about it. Keep the information to yourselves.

@Mirax1 Relax. It is definitely a blackmail attempt. Any academic violation that occurs in the UK passes through proper channels related to academic integrity. This means, the university will be the first one to contact you regarding this situation so that you will have a chance to explain your side. A thorough investigation will accompany this, along with evidence presentation on both sides. The university will make the academic decision regarding your actions. You will never receive such lousy and obviously unprofessional communication from the concerned government departments. They would talk directly to your school since your school will be the one to contact them.

Pharmacy papers are specialized papers so you cannot just hire any writer from a company or an independent writer who writes various types of papers. What you will need to do is find a writer who has a medical background, and can prove that background before you hire him. While any writer can probably get by writing a general pharmacy research paper, it will take a specialized writer to deliver the proper keywords and explain the intricacies of the topic. Scientific essays are some of the most difficult essays to write so do not take chances with a general skills writer.

General Talk / CaNexus or Dr. EVE is a scam [12]

For the students who use Word 365, they may have found that using a plagiarism checker is no longer necessary. That is because the system now comes bundled with a similar content checker which the student can run each time he finishes editing a document. It does not require an additional subscription and, it allows the student to check for any possible similarities of his writing with previously published content as he completes the work. By doing so, he can completely write an original paper with proper cited sources and 0 chances of plagiarism.

Since the domain name listed above is now for sale for almost USD 3K, I bet that the negative review written in this thread was based on fact. The company was incapable of delivering on their promise. The first posting in this thread was badly written by a company representative for sure. It was too leading in the way it was worded, regardless of how the OP did come across as an ESL student who really needed help with his writing and homework completion. I would not be surprised if the OP was actually a writer for the company at that point in time.

Well, the url now comes back with a 404 Error. It is a dead link. The company is no longer in existence I guess. Either that or they forgot to pay for their domain name registration, causing the broken link. The latter is unlikely though since they were using it for business. I am guessing they went out of business instead. What with the company not having grown since the time of its launch, it was simply not properly managed and the writers never improved during the time of the company. It was a shut-down waiting to happen.

Beware of UVOCorp as the international owner sold the company, or perhaps decided to register the company, in the Philippines. Their writers are, from what I have heard, already local based and have an office somewhere in the first class area of the capital. They try to come across as a legitimate company employing "researchers" without givign away what they actually do. Not that a country like the Philippines would ever question what business they are in and who is running it. Did you guys hear about the POGO scandal that rocked that country? Seeing that, I can understand why fraudulent essay writing companies would want to register their business there.

I have to agree that the American educational system is really fast becoming one of the worst in the world. What with some states requiring that teachers teach in 2 languages, Spanish and English, at all times, and the weaponization of the educational system, America is not producing students of even the lowest quality these days. Their colleges and universities of note have turned into nothing but legacy diploma mills at this point, allowing the rich to continue to breeze through their education, without having learned a thing. America is no longer running an educational system that can produce future national and world leaders. Australia? Well, their educational system is also getting messed up these days. It is just a matter of time before they follow in the footsteps of America.

Essayjedi is actually offline already. The company has been offline for several years now based on what I have found out. The lack of work quality and their inability to pay the writer's on time for completed orders proved to be their undoing. They tried to not refund the students for their failed orders, but eventually had to start refunding the students as the lack of quality began to affect their ability to get successful client sign ups. They tried to sell the business but could not find any takers in the market so they closed shop instead.

Essay writing companies will always overcharge the students for the papers they order. You have to remember that. They are not even paying their writers half of the amount they collect from the clients. The writer's barely receive 10% of the profits are all times. Yes, students are paying highly for company writer written work when they can get even better work by directly negotiating the price with the independent writers, who will charge fairly at all times. You pay for the skill of the writer in that case, rather than the upkeep of the company. Personally, I would rather pay a higher value for a writer whose quality of work I am sure of instead of overpaying a writing company and having to deal with revisions ad nauseum.

I really cannot understand how this company manages to stay in business. How do they manage to keep the students fooled with regards to the actual quality of work that their writers provide? It is all because the website is shiny and looks class? So the students equate the gloss of the site with the quality of work? Should students be to blame for the continued existence of the company? It is beginning to look that way.

Not only that, but sites like SiteJabber now allow them to pay for positive reviews. As long as they pay to advertise, they can also have their negative reviews removed while increasing their positive reviews through paid writer testimonies.

General Talk / Essay Writing Mills Illegal? [18]

I wonder if by "essay mills" they also mean authors for hire / freelancers?

Yes, they do. As long as one is involved in the academic writing business, the law covers you. It does not selectively apply. Rather, it applies to all of those involved in academic essay writing and research. A consultancy, if it is a legitimate one, is a different case.

Writing Careers / Should I bother with Academon? [39]

Not everything is published freely online.

Agreed. However the essays they were selling had a lifespan. The information was valid only for 5 years at the most, making it difficult to sell the older papers. As TurnItIn became more and more used by the schools, the pre written essays started to become a problem as universities began uploading essays to the system. Plagiarism became a real problem for the students, who thought it better to hire a writer to create a fresh essay instead. So the pre written essay market "died".

They went out of business with the dinosaurs. When the market for pre-written essay sales dried up, they tried to change their business model several times and failed big-time each and every time. There was just no way to sustain their business since they were not run by business minded people. They were surviving based on an outdated business model that could not be revised to generate income for them once it came time to evolve the business. They would not have survived the onslaught of AI in essay writing anyway.

@FreelanceWriter
These are factual information coming from you. I have asked students to try and ask AI to give them their resources information and properly format the page in terms of expected writing formats, AI failed to do both. Then I asked the student if, based on that sample, he could finally understand why AI is simply never to beat a paper written by the student himself, or a writer hired to complete the work. The human factor is of huge importance in developing class papers these days. Teachers are on to the AI wave and know how to spot an AI written paper when submitted by the student. I do not know which is worse, plagiarism, or AI written papers. Whichever, it is the student who will pay the price in the end.

@formerstudent
Sadly, the student will not be graded on grammar alone for their papers. The papers still need to make sense and show a degree of actual research in the presentation. That is what the professors grade on. That is also why AI is easily spotted by the trained eye. AI can produce 250 words of unusable information in some instances because it cannot produce a logical thought on its own, nor analyze the information it finds online. It is not gifted with the sense of reading comprehension the way a human writer is. That is the main problem with AI written essays at this time.
noted

I have read that plagiarism detection tools are now being tweaked to sense when a paper was quite possibly written by an AI. I find this laughable since there are times when an ESL writer churns out papers that read like badly written AI output.
noted   
Aug 07, 2024

Plagiarism detection tools are capable of picking up on copy pasted sections of any paper that is submitted to them. So it is important that these sections are either rephrased or rewritten, with proper citation, so that the detection software can get past it. The degree of this detection happening is higher when an AI is used to write or research any sort of paper.

How can @formerstudent say that the company is still doing the same thing today when Ivy Dissertation seems to have gone out of business some time ago? Does this mean that you are a writer who actually knows that the company is still existing but under a different name? If that is so, then do the right thing and warn the students here. Give us the new company name so the students can avoid dealing with them in the future.

There is a reason why Google and other AI development companies are frequenting forums and social media. They are releasing the AI in these circles in an effort to help it learn how to sound more human and less mechanical. The companies actually employ human beings to help develop a more human sounding AI. Do not be fooled. These companies know exactly what they are doing. They know exactly how to increase their profits using AI and they know they can use humans to acheive that automated goal. Yes, I believe that the time will come when humans and AI will be living and working side by side, whether we like it or not.

The type of service that the OP ordered from them is irrelevant at this point. All that matters is that he was conned and he lost while the company that he trusted gained financially from him. The OP lost not only money, but a chance at a decent academic grade as well. There is really no reason for him to say anything more than he has already said. He was warning the other students so they would not suffer the same fate that he did.
noted   
Aug 06, 2024

Yup. There is a tool these days. The claim is that there is nothing that AI cannot write for an office, which is why bosses no longer keep their executive assistants busy with such mundane tasks. They just input the information for the letter or proposal into the app then hit enter or generate. Then they wait for whatever crap the AI will spew out. Now, automation is good for quick jobs or drafts of these proposals or memos. For the actual, professional, and informative stuff, you will always need a human writer to edit, revise, and rewrite whatever it is that the AI created.

I think Kenyans have moved on from their academic writing scams. The industry has tried to create a semblance of legality and professionalism in its trade by asking writer applicants to qualify themselves with valid documentation. They also require transcripts of grades already and proof of college graduation, at the very least. These are documents that Kenyans do not easily come by anymore and not everyone is willing to sell their writer profile anymore to a Kenyan scammer since it is quite difficult to get into the academic writing companies these days. It is almost like applying for a regular job at a company. The process is quite fierce and cut throat. Kenyans would find it difficult to qualify already.

The reason why there was no available information for this website way back in 2020 was most likely because the company was in the process of being taken down. The domain name is actually up for sale right now and the server it is attached to is no longer accepting the handshake. I am pleased to know that these sorts of fraudulent companies are taking themselves offline. If they do come back as another incarnation, we can only hope that they will do so with a more legitimate business presentation that will actually help, rather than damage the students psychologically.

The only active company from the list previously provided is Custom Paper. I assume that is the more responsible of the 3 writing companies? The other 2 companies are officially offline using their listed domain names. Or, we can hope that they are officially offline. I keep forgetting that these companies can just let their domains expire, change servers, then get a new domain name and server to get back into the business. Same bad service, same crappy writers.

Well, I did a quick search for the company as stated above and it appears that the company went out of business ages ago. It is no longer active, nor searchable online. So the students have not had to deal with this problem company for at least several years now. Consider ourselves lucky. We did not have to deal with the negative experiences that this company would have provided the students had they lasted long enough to run a con on the poor students. Things worked out for the best in this case. The students were saved from any potential problems dealing with this company would have produced.

Thank you for bringing this academic writing company to our attention. The students here will definitely benefit from reading about your experience. The fact that you included screenshots lends more strength to your claims that they do sloppy jobs. The fact that their agent would not even acknowledge that their writer did a bad job leaves me quite angry. It is obvious that they knew the assigned writer was not skilled and yet, they could not refund your money even though it is within reason to ask for a refund. Please keep us informed about your refund plight with them and also, please consider hiring an independent writer next time to avoid problems like these in the future. You can easily source independent writers here.

These days, Linda could easily come across as an ENL writer with the use of AI. That is how some of the 3rd world writers are getting by these days, much to the dismay of the students who eventually learn that they were duped into paying someone to simply use AI to write the essay. Something they could have done themselves, for free.

It is important to note that ESL writers do have their uses, when servicing ESL students in need of an essay. An AI can also sound like an ESL student if asked to write in that manner. However, it is still best to have a human being write an essay for you since an AI cannot equal the writing skills of a real person.

Freelancers: Be cautious with freelancers; check their credentials and request samples.

Personally, I would be more weary of company based writing services and their writers. That is because these companies often engage in the practice of bait and switch wherein the quality of the sample they provide does not match the actual output of their services once paid for.

Quality Over Cost: Investing in more expensive, established writers often yields better results.

Again, I have to disagree with this. This is a rule that supposedly works only for the academic writing companies. Established independent writers who have a track record with their clients could offer discounted fees for repeat clients. Prices per page may also be discussed with new clients depending upon the number of pages and difficulty of the work to be provided. Never assume that expensive will remain expensive.

Just continue to ignore their emails. They may harass you all they want but if you ignore them, they will eventually stop. They are trying to wear you down and get a reaction from you. Ignore it. Stop being so scared of them. There is nothing they can do to harm you. They cannot file any charges with your school and emailing you at your office address does not serve a purpose. Do not respond to them and they will stop. Do not be afraid of them and they lose their hold / power over you.

@Baba84
They sent an email to your work email address or they sent an email to your boss? Those are 2 different things. If they sent an email to your work address then block their address from your office computer. You are not supposed to be giving out your work email address to people unless it is work related in the first place. There is nothing you can do now except block and ignore. Send it directly to spam.

As for the image that you posted here, there is a time frame given than allows you to delete or edit the post you made. Since that time has passed, you should contact the forum moderators and admin, requesting that they assist you in deleting the image from the server. You cannot do it by yourself at this point.

That's very good to know. It shows that you are willing to build the trust factor with the students in any way that they wish to. It also gives the students peace of mind knowing that you are on the level with them to that extent. There would be no reason for them not to hire you other than the price consideration I think. If they can afford you or not becomes the vital question in the end.
noted   
Jul 29, 2024

A very useful tip is to hire a writer who is willing to talk to you in person. It could be a phone interview although a video conference call would be preferred. Sometimes, you have to see the writer to believe what he is saying. His body actions in relation to your questions and given explanations are very important when considering hiring him. You can pretty much tell if he will be a legit writer or, be the lord of all headaches, once you see the writer in person. Information may be hidden by oral or chat interviews. Nothing beats a conference call interview before hiring the writer.

There is no need to discredit any company at this point. The company has ceased to exist for some time now. The information that relates to the company is no longer connected to a server although the domain name remains active. Therefore, the company was in existence some time in early 2024. It has only been removed from the academic writing game this year. That is good. The paper that it was made to produce sounds too complicated for the skill level of their academic writers. An AI would have probably done a better job of writing any model paper for any student based on a variety of topics and sources.

Both domain names indicated in this thread have come to their end of life cycle. These are no longer being kept active by the company. I am guessing that they are still existing under a different domain name because I have it from reliable sources that the company needed a change of image, along with a new domain name to avoid the problems that their previously hire writers created for them. I hope they learned their lesson and now hire writer's that can actually do the job.

While most of the writers no longer actively post here save for a few, that is not to say that you can no longer find good essay writing services through the forum channels. You will actually pick up a few who are still active, but no longer feel a need to post actively at this forum because their client base has not gone the AI route so they are recession safe at this point. I would still recommend that any student looking for a dissertation writing service start their search at this forum. At least they will be haggling with actual writers who know the job and not some 3rd rate AI user from some 3rd world country.
