Still doesn't answer my question--bad writers shouldn't get to step one.

True.

No, nothing really proves anything, and you can't prove a negative at all (its one of the most basic logical fallacies).

Exactly.

First of all, whether or not you've made this mistake elsewhere, adding two letter to a word (especially two letters on the opposite side of the keyboard from the letter you should have stopped with) is a highly unusual.

o.O? I don't think that your clients would appreciate you making these mistakes on your writings as well, right? Even if it's true that my error was because of my having English only as a second language (and I'm not saying that it is), that still does not discount the fact that I do know that I made a mistake and that I could have corrected that mistake easily if I proofread my work which is precisely what I do when I write for my clients. What I find peculiar is how you say that you're not against us competent foreign writers taking our share from the market and yet you continue to associate my mistake with my being a foreign writer. I can easily argue that your mistake of not putting an apostrophe where it should be is also a common ESL mistake.

"I'm a good, ESL writer."

Wow... 0.002% huh... see here's where all the evidence showing stops and the tall stories begin. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the ONLY good writer that ew has. Anyone who reads the Chronicle article you provided would know this.

That way your business will be perfectly legal around the world and WB will have to take up a real job again.

Hey... don't diss her.. being a hatchet worker is hard work and she's been at it for 3 years without any results. Give the girl a break. XD

This is an error in grammar that an educated native English speaker wouldn't have made in the first place.

Really? Did you see me using the wrong plurality of a verb elsewhere in this forum? ^_^

Why are they hired in the first place?

Heck yeah, why do you think they end up crying their hearts out on this forum after a few weeks?

Yes, anyone may apply. But only qualified writers will be hired.

What do you have to back this up, personal experience? Does this prove that American companies have significantly more qualified writers than foreign companies? Nope.
EW_writer   
Jun 09, 2009

But I never said that American companies would never hire foreign writers

But they don't.

I am not trying to take money but of your hands (assuming you are a decent foreign writer), but most of the people working for foreign companies AREN'T. Customers should be aware.

o.O??

Tit-for-tat? :)

U.S. companies could do the same thing, but it is also much easier to get a refund out of a US based company due to legal restrictions on the company and the lack of international red tape.

Agreed, but this still doesn't mean that all foreign companies scam their clients, does it?

I didn't imply that you should apologize for being American. All I am saying is that we foreign writers work for foreign companies because we don't have other options. I'm gonna get back to work now. Have a good day.

Jun 09, 2009

I'm sure the customers appreciate that you "does not scam" them

Hey.. my bad. I don't really proofread everything that I post here. :P I think we both know that this one error does not overshadow the writing prowess that I have so far demonstrated on this site.

How many writers work for American companies? Has anyone bothered to check if they are all as qualified as their site boasts them to be?

I am sure there are good foreign writers, but there are also many bad ones, and the companies hire them all and pay them the same. THIS IS DISHONEST.

True. However for essaywrtiers.net (and bestessays), the bad ones are usually booted out or discouraged almost as soon as they are hired. That's why so many of those losers end up bawling their frustrations on this forum. On the other hand, how selective are American companies in hiring their writers? The fact that they only hire Americans does not mean that everyone they hire is competent. As I understand, the hiring process for many of these companies is also set online so that makes it easy for ANYONE in the U.S. to apply.

You keep trying to turn the issue into one of nationality-based prejudice, which is simply not the case anyone on this forum is making.

No, I'm not. I was only trying to clarify this statement from you to which I already preemptively responded with the following:

Oh, and if you insist that it's because off-shore companies are much more well-hidden than "legit" companies, you support my argument that "legit" companies are more likely to give up students when questioned by authorities.

All it really takes to stay in business in this industry is money to run a website.

There you go again with the blatant assertions that you imply towards foreign companies. What prevents the same stuff from being perpetrated by sites in the U.S.?

I won't deny that there are scam sites who do this but essaywriters.net simply isn't one of them. They do hire indiscriminately but new writers have limited order selection powers and when they botch it up, they get kicked out as fast as they got in. Overtime, this has led to poor writers not even wishing to engage in working for essaywriters.net because they know they won't earn anything from them anyway.

Most legitimate companies--which pay taxes and report payroll expenses to the federal government--hire writers in the United States or the UK. Most writers at foreign companies are foreign.

I think peace meant the quality of writers and not the actual writers. You're right though, and this is precisely why us foreign writers have no choice but to work for foreign companies. Hey, if ET and other American based companies were willing to hire us, why wouldn't we sign up for the prospect of better pay? Let me ask you, given that your American companies would NEVER hire off-shore writers like us no matter how competitive we are, what do you expect us to do, quit writing homework for money altogether?

Having enough money to keep a website running to attract these first-time customers, however, allows companies to stay afloat without necessarily delivering a decent product.

That's bull. It may work for some sites but I'm sure that the returns would be meager. Why attribute this activity to foreign companies in general? Students are conscious about their spending money especially if they are working to pay for their education. They won't spend on a site without first checking how reputable the site is in delivering good products.

and now switch to claiming that I am a "paid hatchet worker."

Oh.. I'm just saying what most of us are thinking around here. ^_^

Still can't back up your Toyota argument, I see. Tsk tsk...
EW_writer   
Jun 09, 2009

You imply that the companies care about the quality of their product in asserting that they provide the same quality of service as legitimate companies..

Now whose taking who out of context? :p My exact statement was that you cannot deny that bestessays does have good writers working for it, writers such as myself who does not scam customers but rather provide them with high quality products.

Interesting also how you (EW) fail to counter any of the salient points of my last remark.

What's there to counter? I agree with you about what you said regarding WB. Basically, the reason why I find so much fun posting against her is because of her attitude. I'm honest with my dealings with clients except that I don't reveal my true identity and location. I don't expect you to believe that and I don't really need you to do so. You didn't really elaborate on what I misrepresented about foreign companies so there's nothing to counter and I did address your last statement.
EW_writer   
Jun 09, 2009

EW, before you quote me out of context as if I'm on your side somehow, know that I am almost always in agreement with WB's sentiments, if not their expression.

Err... I'm not the "take out of context" guy, that's still WB. :p

but the companies themselves don't really care, and as a writer for them you must know this to be true.

Errr.. where did I ever say that companies cared? Look up my posts on how I describe essaywriters.net so you can read what I think of them as I don't have the time to elaborate now (gotta finish a few CVs before I get some rest). ^_^ See you tomorrow.

Err.. are you saying that Honda does? :p

Oh, and if you insist that it's because off-shore companies are much more well-hidden than "legit" companies, you support my argument that "legit" companies are more likely to give up students when questioned by authorities. Nifty, huh? Besides that, the argument would still be flawed. Bestessays couldn't have stayed in business for so long if it did not produce decent products in general. Sure there are a few dissatisfied customers every now and then but what company doesn't have them?

Jun 09, 2009

This article also shows that even when a customer (Mr. Tomar) received a paper that was unacceptable, he only got a 30% refund.

Yes it does, I also addressed this in my post.

For writers, Mr. Arhewe's story is also quite telling.

But the fact remains that Mr. Arhewe is a highly competent writer who is satisfied with the pay he is receiving. I work for essaywrtiers.net myself but make much more than Mr. Arhewe does on the average, but that's probably because I take in more work than he does. You can criticize best essays' website all day long but you can't deny that the company does have good people writing for them. What you didn't factor into the equation is that people like Mr. Arhewe work for essaywriters.net because they don't have any other alternatives. Companies like ET don't hire off-shore writers regardless of how good they are.

Writers InvestigationHey students, what does WB's article prove?

"The company, known as Essay Writers, sells so-called custom essays, meaning that its employees will write a paper to a student's specifications for a per-page fee. These papers, unlike those plucked from online databases, are invisible to plagiarism-detection software."

We provide quality papers undetectable by plagiarism software.

"Go to Google and type "buy an essay." Among the top results will be Best Essays, whose slogan is "Providing Students with Original Papers since 1997." It's a professional-looking site with all the bells and whistles: live chat, flashy graphics, stock photos of satisfied students. Best Essays promises to deliver "quality custom written papers" by writers with either a master's degree or a Ph.D. Prices range from $19.99 to $42.99 per page, depending on deadline and difficulty."

We're one of the best at what we do.

"Most essay mills claim that they're only providing "model" papers and that students don't really turn in what they buy. Mr. Robbins, who has a law degree and now attends nursing school, knows that's not true."

All the more reason why you should buy from foreign companies.. unless you want to end up like that student from Boston U. ^_^

"Like Nigeria. Paul Arhewe lives in Lagos, that nation's largest city, and started writing for essay mills in 2005. Back then he didn't have his own computer and had to do all of his research and writing in Internet cafes. Now he works as an online editor for a newspaper, but he still writes essays on the side. In the past three years, he's written more than 200 papers for American and British students. In an online chat, Mr. Arhewe insisted that the work he does is not unethical. "I believe it is another way of learning for the smart and hardworking students," he writes. Only lazy students, Mr. Arhewe says, turn in the papers they purchase.

Mr. Arhewe started writing for Essay Writers after another essay mill cheated him out of several hundred dollars. That incident notwithstanding, he's generally happy with the work and doesn't complain about the pay. He makes between $100 and $350 a month writing essays - not exactly a fortune, but in a country like Nigeria, where more than half the population lives on less than a dollar a day, it's not too bad either."

We have the best foreign writers on board. ^_^

"Mr. Tomar, the philosophy-and-religion major who bought a paper for his New Testament class, still doesn't think students should have to do their own research. But he has soured on essay mills after the paper he received from Essay Writers did not meet his expectations. He complained, and the company gave him a 30-percent refund. As a result, he had an epiphany of sorts. Says Mr. Tomar: "I was like - you know what? - I'm going to write this paper on my own.""

It doesn't always turn out well but hey, nobody's perfect. What you should do is find a writer that you're comfortable with and stick with him/her.

"Some institutions, most notably Boston University, have made efforts to shut down essay mills and expose their customers. "

And they did. It ended up with at least one student getting caught. Where did this student by his paper? Well.. NOT from a foreign company. THAT'S for sure. ^_^

"Their paper concludes that because there is almost never any solid evidence of wrongdoing, catching and disciplining students is the exception."

It is you who are in gravest danger, not us. So make sure you cover your tracks well. American companies won't let you cover your tracks because they are bound by law to keep records of their business. Your credit card numbers or paypal account names may stay with any company, but it's the U.S. based companies that will give you up when threatened.

Snaps to WritersBeware for providing anotehr excellent article. (Ready for another "business trip" to hatchet worker school? :p)

'Prepare' does not include the mere typing or assembling of papers, nor the mere furnishing of information or research."

According to... you. :P

The fact remains that The Paper Store, a "legit" American company was forced to give up at least 1 student to authorities because of these laws. That student would most likely never get to finish his degree.

You're wrong. I could elaborate in precise detail as to why that is the case, but I've already done so.

Like so?

EW_writer's argument is that Toyota is criminally responsible if one of its customers uses a Prius as a weapon.

We both know how pathetic your Toyota argument is so why don't you do everyone a favor and just shut your trap like you have for the past couple of days after your latest humiliation? :)

Much worse - they get people's votes based on their speeches.

Riiight... I'm betting that you don't exactly live in the U.S.

Not being a forum pro, I don't know how to do the nifty quote boxes,

There's a quote button that you can click after selecting the block of text to be quoted. The button is found at the bottom of every post.

Why do you think WritersBeware and the others before her were ever created (if you aren't familiar with WB, feel free to use the search function to read on some of her posts)? The American companies are suffering from the rise of foreign operations which have taken away and continue to take away a significant portion of the market from them. Sure, such foreign companies do play dirty by masquerading as American companies themselves but hey, does it matter to students if they get the same quality of work anyway?

But in my experience, they treat their writers and customers a lot worse than US/UK-based enterprises.

Here's a question for you, do these US/UK based enterprises that you're talking about hire foreign writers? :p

I never made generalizations about foreign writers, EW, and I understand that $10 is a lot of money for you.

See this statement shows that you still don't understand. Foreign companies pay foreign writers lower rates than "legit" companies do because foreign companies offer lower rates to clients, something that American companies cannot do which therefore gives foreign companies a strong competitive advantage. Foreign companies can afford to do this since like you said, $10 is big money for me already. You can buy a cheeseburger with $10, I can buy about 30 of them. Can you see the economic logic behind all this now?

I never made generalizations about foreign writers, EW

When you say that foreign companies generally churn out inferior work, isn't this what you're generalizing?

Yes Boston lost but not before the company who won gave up one student who submitted paper bought from the "legit" company for credit. The point is that these companies can and do give up students when mandated to do so during a lawsuit. That students could be ANYONE and so students should stay away from "legit" companies if they intend to submit the work that they buy as their own unless they want to risk getting expelled or worse.

I am a passionate researcher, I do it even for free :D

Cool.

I would share some strategic insights based on my experience and judgment. If anyone is in problem in the next 5 years it is the legit companies.

In the words of the fabled Michelangelo (the turtle, not the artist), "Exactamundo Compadre!"

Hey pheelyks, I think that the others would agree that we foreign writers who post regularly on this forum also do not wish to build any animosity against you. I personally just don't like it when a person generalizes that foreign companies who hire foreign writers are all scamming pieces of crap because they're not.

"According to Smith, 17 states--including Massachusetts--have made itillegal to sell research material knowing or having reason to believe that it will be submitted for academic credit."

'nuff said?

I work for a foreign company (essaywriters) but I only take orders that pay at least $10/page (or $8/slide for .ppt presentations). It may not be as high as what "legitimate" companies like ET supposedly pay their writers but in my country, US$10 is much more than the daily minimum wage. Plus, I can command even more than double that rate at essaybay. You don't have to be a math whiz to figure out how well-paid I am and I do provide my clients with top quality work. I won't say that my employers are saints because they simply aren't but your generalization that foreign writers working for foreign companies provide substandard work is just plain false.
EW_writer   
Jun 07, 2009

Does he? If he does then he is noble, indeed. We all know that students who intend to submit purchased papers from ET as their own should think twice before doing so as the company does strongly prohibit submission of their products for academic credit and will give up students who do so when questioned by proper authorities in the same way that The Paper Store Enterprises, another genuinely American company gave up one of their clients to academic authorities to escape a lawsuit as narrated in this bulletin below:

eschoolnews.com/news/top-news/index.cfm?i=31843&CFID=8419205&CFTOKEN=27456135

Students should be aware that buying from companies such as ET is fine so long as they do not submit what they bought for academic credit. Any material taken directly or paraphrased from works bought from ET should be properly cited in order to avoid being questioned by academic authorities and facing possible suspension or expulsion. The reason why ET is this strict in upholding its regulations which are in line with relevant U.S. laws on academic fraud is because they are physically based in the U.S. and can easily be held accountable by the courts.

I wouldn't say that it's that beautiful (didn't proofread since it wasn't a paid-for work so as I read it now, I can see a few things that I'd have changed such as the double use of "Battle" at the start of the second paragraph and the double use of "actual" somewhere down the middle). Still, I really appreciate the compliment. :)

Day 778. ^_^

I'm betting that the people who are actually paid to do hatchet jobs on writing sites over the net are very few. Most of the individuals who set out to destroy a site's reputation are site owners themselves who do not need to get paid to be properly motivated to make attempts at ruining the competition. Still, I believe that there are "professionals" who have above-average writing skills that some companies use to take on the perpetual duty of launching campaigns to mar the competition. These select few devote a ridiculous amount of time gathering "evidence" while hiding behind some practically unbelievable cover story such as being some sort of successful philanthropist just making contributions for the common good. In order to make the cover story believable to lesser thinkers, these people utilize their above-average writing skills to make them look credible.

The battle fought in the message boards which are the battlegrounds of these professional hatchet workers is far more simple than they make it appear. They boldly proclaim that they are out to take down particular sites by presenting one supposedly damaging evidence after another but in a span of years, these evidences fail to do anything. If people would look into why this is so, one thing would become apparent. This is that all these evidences are virtually unverifiable unless actual authorities move in to verify them, something that authorities would not do because what they are really concerned about is not that some writing sites are off-shore or that these sites lie about where they are based but rather the fact that writing sites provide homework that students submit for credit. Anyone can verify this by trying to find any evidence that the United States government has actually made any attempt at all to bring down off-shore companies for being off-shore and lying to their clients about it. Despite the overwhelming evidences and confessions made on this message board, no official move has been made because this matter is simply a non-issue. Instead, what people would find are academic institutions trying to get the government involved in clamping down on writing sites in general that provide homework to students. But if this is the case, does it mean that professional hatchet workers are fighting a lost cause? The answer to that is no, because the actual cause of these people is not actually to close certain sites down but to make it seem like these sites would not provide quality work for students by making legitimacy equate to quality. In effect, what these people constantly do is create straw men. In logical fallacies, straw men are arguments constructed to look like they are relevant to the issue when in fact they are not. Hatchet workers construct straw men and then tackle and destroy them, making the illusion that they have won legitimate arguments when really, all that they have one are arguments that they themselves created. Thus, when unsuspecting students looking for a place to buy homework read these people's work, they are automatically made to feel that the sites that hatchet workers point out will scam them out of their money because these sites lie about their location and their writers' academic qualifications when these two have virtually no proven correlation with writing competence (how many great writers actually have MAs or PhDs?).

Still, there are occasions when these professionals are forced to cease their efforts and bluntly speaking, are made to shut up. These occasions occur when they commit mistakes that make them look inept or that invariably hurt their employers' interests. For example, if such a person establishes himself or herself as an excellent writer, proving that he or she is also prone to mistakes and hammering on these mistakes constantly would make the person's employers pull the hatchet worker out temporarily to let the issue die down without the worker ever addressing it properly. Another example is when a hatchet worker inadvertently presents solid evidence pointing out that it is more likely for students to get caught cheating if they buy from the companies that the hatchet worker supports. These things are likely to get the worker suspended for some time and perhaps seriously penalized.

The bottom line is, customers should always be wary of what they read on the internet regardless of how well it is written or how convincing it seems. They should focus on the key questions when looking for a writing service rather than being lured to watch the straw man spectacles that hatchet workers offer. Would the service provide me with papers written in the quality that I desire? Would I be safe in using the papers that I buy for whatever purpose I have? These are the only questions that matter.

EW_writer claims that it's all "unsubstantiated" and "in my imagination."

Verifiable evidence of what?!? Again allow me to paste the statement that was so sorely taken out of context.

You can't claim that they're having money troubles because you don't have ANY evidence on that.
