If the company uses a wordpress address, then it should not be trusted. It is nothing but a fly by night company that is preying on clueless individuals, hoping to fool them into giving up their money, without delivering any service. Wordpress is good for most things, but definitely not running an academic writing company from. If they did not even bother to buy a proper domain name to cover the wordpress address, then they have no clue what business they are trying to run.

Essay Services / GUYS, is uk-assignments good? [11]

They appear to be overall good guys in the scheme of things. They have managed to keep their clients happy during their academic days and, have proven to deliver on professional services as well. Their student clients turn into professional clients once they get gainfully employed. Their writers are pros when it comes to helping deliver on data analysis and reports. Yes, there are some clueless professionals out there who need the help of a professional writer to achieve promotions on the job. Silly right?

here was really poor communication between the admin and the writer I was using.

You do know that you should be communicating directly with your writer through the PM system located on the company server right? If you are communicating with your writer through a middleman, then you should expect lousy work results. Something will always get lost in the translation of things. Either talk to the writer directly, or cancel your order to avoid any headaches stemming from miscommunication issues.

Writing Careers / A post from a "Pakistani" writer [58]

I wonder why the companies do not inform their customers about the origins of their writers.

It is not that the companies are trying to deceive their clients. It is just a sin of omission on their part. They opt not to tell the students about where their writers are from because it (1) does not come up in the conversation or (2) the clients do not ask, so why tell? The bottom line for the companies are simple:

- Fill the vacant writer seats
- Maintain a regular writer pool
- Have the writers produce quality work

The last part is the main reason why these companies tend to hire writers from the third world. If they can produce good work at a lower cost, then the company makes a hefty profit, while delivering what the client needs, but underpaying their writers, who think they are getting a good CPP.

is it unethical for a freelancer to let a client contact him directly, even if they actually met through a middle agent?

Since freelance writers do not have binding employment contracts with academic writing companies, they are free to contact a client directly. Just not on the official platform of the writing company. Since you managed to come across this writer using independent means, not related to his service agreement with the writing company, then there is no problem regarding your employing his services directly. Now, if the two of you were openly discussing direct services using the communication platform of the writing company, then that, would be considered unethical and downright disrespectful of the company that acted as the middle man.

Do all writing companies pay miserably, in India ?

Yes. They barely pay their writers. It won't even be enough to pay your monthly internet bill. The India based writing companies are mostly scams that do a hit and run on the students. They turn around and hit their writers with fines so that they can run with the income they do not have to pay their writers. Work for an India based academic writing company at your own risk. You would have to be insane to even consider working for them anyway.

This forum fails to provide any recommendations.

That is because it is against the rules of the forum to do so. Didn't you read the fine print when you signed up? No promotions allowed, unless the powers behind the forum think your veiled recommendation passes their requirements. Do not expect the writers here to recommend any services other than their own, when it is possible for them to indirectly do so. If that is not what you are looking for, then you are in the wrong forum.

Negative SEO attacks are more commonplace these days. Due to the limited client base, created by the pandemic school lockdown, the academic writing companies have found that their orders are dwindling, their writers are taking off for other writing jobs that pay more regularly, and downscaling of their company expenses, the negative SEO attacks are the only way these companies see and know how to compete. By tearing each other down, they hope to be the last academic company standing when the pandemic smoke clears. That, will never happen.

These two companies have turned the act of non-refunding their clients for sloppy work into an art form. They truly take the cake. I have heard of clients who have filed for refunds, forcing the company to do an "internal" investigation, which then results in "no refunds", months after constantly being followed up by the client. They are a scam. Do not believe their 80% approval rating. They made that up. Paid for the survey and everything.

I will not actually be able to send or place the order until the day of the exam

Never hire a writer to take a test for you! That is where I draw the line. My company ethics include refusal to have my writers participate in such deception. Not to mention the expense that taking an exam for a student entails (VPN, for one thing) for which I would have to charge a premium price that most students would not be able to afford. More than that though, is my personal belief that it is one thing to help a student with his homework and research papers, but it is definitely academic dishonesty to help him cheat the system via taking a test for him. That is just... NO!

outsource to a range of other other companies

It isn't outsourcing. It is still the same company, under a different name. The companies do this so that they can claim innocence in case problems arise with the order. Anything from delays in refunds, to missed deadlines, these can all be blamed on the "outsourcing" of the service. If you find yourself at an "outsourced" page, do not proceed with the order, there is something criminal going on for sure.

It is not acceptable to come on a website and write Libelous defamatory comments about a company which are entirely untrue.

Don't make empty threats. Take the case to court and disprove his claims there. Otherwise, you sound like you are just looking for excuses to not pay him. I always tell people who come here with accusations to present evidence of their claims. Without even the simplest evidence to present, one should not believe even the minutest claim coming from the accuser. The OP, should post evidence and Dave, should take him to court so they can settle this in a legal manner. That would be the best way to end this finger pointing situation.

Any business located in the virtual world of the internet can claim to be anywhere in the world. They can prove an office address, a country specific phone number, or any other form of fake evidence to support their claim. That is why I do not give too much weight to the location of any company anymore. All that should matter, to the writers, is that they get paid on time and are treated fairly. What matters to the students, is the work quality and the ability to provide their requirements. If a company accomplishes these two things, I could care less where they company is physically located.

Being afraid of flying just made a lot more sense.

Sometimes, the pilots do well in practical tests, but don't really perform as expected during the theoretical part of their studies. I would rather have an excellent practical pilot than a theoretically excellent pilot. Being by the book, as a pilot, is usually what ends up crashing a plane. Gut feelings and taking chances are what land planes in emergency situations. Just my thoughts...

Their PR department has always been known to work overtime. They actually use students to write their promotional posts, thinking that the professionals will not identify a paid blurb when we see one. I guess they paid this forum bigtime to get permission to promote a series of promotional discussions on this thread. I hope that students will remember that if the person posting the accolade uses "big" words, that person used a dictionary to write the post based on SEO requirements. Never hire any company based on positive reviews read anywhere. The positive reviews should serve as your red flag instead.

I came across this forum after I ordered my essay.

That is no excuse for not properly vetting the company prior to setting up your account and placing an order. You should make sure that the company you are dealing with is not a scam. You don't even have to do the search here. All you have to do is run a basic reverse IP lookup or, use one of the other review sites out there that have actual student comments and ratings accompanying their testimonials. No, I am not talking about testimonials on the website of the company. I am talking about independent testimonies such as those found at across the web on various open forum platforms, not just ES.

Essay Services / Pay After You get Your Essay. [35]

Ahhh... if only all of us could work on a pay after service basis. While that would be the most ideal for the students and writers in terms of gaining work satisfaction on both ends, it opens up the writers to student fraud in the process. Students who do not pay upfront for the paper could opt not to pay for the paper anymore upon the submission of the completed work. then where would the writer be? This just sounds like bad business sense to me. At least get half the cost of the paper before you start working on it. The writers need that assurance.

They send me the order 2 days after the deadline

There have been cases at my company where the client makes a mistake in entering the deadline for the paper, which causes the late submission issue for the writer. I wonder if the OP was absolutely sure that he entered the correct deadline for his paper. I normally leave it to the writer to confirm the deadline date with the client since they are in direct communication with each other. The OP should have contacted the writer with a gentle reminder regarding the deadline as the deadline he remembered was approaching. Otherwise, I cannot blame the writer for a late submission, nor penalize him for it.

Do you think there is any point in waiting until deadline or should I start the procedure for claiming my money back ?

When a student has a gut feeling he has been scammed, then he should begin chargeback proceedings immediately. After having read all of the information that is contained in this thread, you should have a pretty good idea of what is going on with your paper in the background. Go ahead and file the refund. You may stand a better chance of getting the money back if a writer has not been assigned to work on it yet.

@Zoha Khan is deceiving the students at this forum. He is not a student but rather, a paid hack who has tried, using several profiles at this forum, to promote various companies. He pushes the highest payers at the students, since he gets a percentage for every successful referral, regardless of whether the student is satisfied with the service or not. He is a freelance promoter who does not care if the companies he advertises fight amongst themselves because of his negative way of promoting each company's services.

The company is known for giving students expensive lessons in the art of the scam. They work best in not delivering on their overpriced papers. There are other cheaper scam companies out there that students willing to part with their allowances could work with. Things have gotten so bad for this company that they set up an alternative company, charged less, then went around telling people the other company, which charges less, is the better deal. All while telling people why they should not go with the mother company for their orders. They don't just screw the clients, they are screwed up themselves !

You get the picture. You know your business is doing well, and you have a reliable client base when you have savings in the bank that can more than cover any dry season, or in this case, get you through a pandemic lock-down. Other than that, you can't really predict the length of time needed to grow the base.

both these sites look different but most of the information on them is virtually identical.

That is because it is one and the same company. The reason they use 2 company names refers to the fact that their companies are frauds. Not popular frauds, but frauds nonetheless. They are trying to keep under the radar by confusing the students. However, they set up their server so badly that the writers themselves are the ones who tip-off the students to the truth about the company. Yes, their writers take the clients with them when they reveal the truth about the company. More money for the independents !

This company is also in the business of illegally collecting personal information through the guise of their sign up page. They request countless verification documents for both the order and payment process. They demand valid government picture ID for some reason. These demands to me, reek of privacy invasion and possible identity theft for possible credit or financial fraud. Never submit your ID to them for any purpose. No company will require you to submit ID when your identity is easily verified during the payment process in a safe and digitized way.

Do not deal with this company. They have students agree to a Terms of Service, without providing a link that would tell the students exactly what they are agreeing to. They could be asking the students to agree to sell their kidneys for all they know. Client response is non-existent, and you rely only on intuition when dealing with them. Not exactly the vote of confidence that a student would hope to get from such a "reliable company" that has been "more than 12 years " in the business.

I once had a similar experience with a business associate of mine who I partnered with at the start of my business. He was the one collecting the fees and sending me my share of the earnings every quarter. There was one quarter when he was late, as in 3 months late sending me my half of the earnings. As we negotiated the payment deal over several months, he finally said, "Look, I'll be down there next week. Why don't we meet at... and I can give you the share of the earning up to the current month then?" Of course I did not believe it but decided to give this person the benefit of the doubt. Lo and behold, he kept his word, making me extremely happy in the process and cementing our business partnership for years to come.

The owners of those companies will change their claims regarding their actual location depending upon the trend of the business. If they sense that most of the orders will be coming from Europe and the western hemisphere, then that is where their company will be located. They want to appeal to the cultural sense of the student. They hope the student will want to support a homegrown business, so they pretend to be what they are not. Their location will change over time, depending upon how the wind blows. They might have taken lessons from Mary Poppins at a certain point...

The companies never lived up to their names because they never had the writing staff to get away with it. The talent of their writing pool never went beyond kindergarten as far as I am concerned.

Yes, the company is good. Their writer pool reads like the most impressive list you would ever find online. They do not hire third rate writers from countries whose educational system rank lowest in the world. They are upfront about all their dealings and do not make any false claims just to get business. Instead, they probe the client for more information, just to make sure that the writer will have more information than he actually needs to complete the paper. They are the best at their job and, even though they compete with me directly, I am always happy to lose out to their company in the end. I don't mind being in second place to them.

Professay used to be run by people claiming to be professors. They claimed that their writing staff was composed of tenured professors at some point in their scam.

You can read user reviews, problems, their quires, responses and rating about the site in webutation.net

That is the worst way to verify the validity of an academic writing company. These people have upped their game. They now have PR departments whose job it is to simply go around the web singing the praises of the company on social media, or countering any negative reviews found on rating websites. Company rivalries are all too common in this field, with each company trying to tear the other down. So the information read on those sites cannot be trusted completely. It is still best to do your personal research by reaching out to the company and asking the right questions, based upon your writing needs. Then you can decide based on personally collected information.

The company has gone inactive. The last FB post they made was on May 16. I guess they were affected by the Covid - 19 lockdown, just like the rest of the academic world was. Companies that survive on scams are the equivalent of pyramid scammers in our field. Once the field dries up, or shuts down, that is the end of the company. I suspect that they shut down owing their writers money. These are not the type of people who would honor a financial deal, even on a handshake agreement.
