There is a misunderstanding that only academic writing companies host essay mills. In truth, an essay mill is a service that aids in the actions related to academic fraud as completed by academic assistance companies and freelancers. These activities are not limited to essay writing alone but, essay writing will be my primary focus since that is what this forum is all about.

Freelance academic writers, just like the companies, are provided by the students with all necessary writing instructions for the completion of the paper. They pay a hefty seem for this original research paper. This is the primary basis of academic froud based on the academic oath that students swear to uphold asa member of the school. Simply put, it is a violation of the academic code to pay someone to write your paper and submit it for a grace. Proven violators face a failing class grade, suspension, or expulsion as punishments depending on the severity of the violation.

These non - company affiliated writers complete hundreds of papers, some would even say thousands of papers every year. Papers that they claim to transfer rights to the student so they can use the paper in any way they want, including submitting it for a grade. Note that neither the company or writer ever tells the student that the intellectual transfer falls under a perpetual basis. There is an unspoken expiration to that which is only known to the company or writer. There lies the danger of this type of deal.

The original digital paper remains in the possession of the writer. A writer who must advance his business by any act necessary since his income is seasonal based on the academic calendar. The dry seasons mean a meager income for the writer. The solution? Make money out of the collected, intellectually transferred papers. He can and he will since it was not a perpetual transfer of rights. That private collection of expired papers are then repeatedly resold to new students. Most of whom do not understand that there papers should not be submitted for a grade. Don't just take his word for it when he says it is a permanent transfer. There is no such thing in this business.

Sometimes, the writer, at a loss for time to complete a quick turn-around could even resort to using cut and paste information from his secret stash during the regular academic year. Yes, it is a common practice among independent writers since there is no QAD to check his paper quality. A writer who does QAD himself on his own work isa dishonest writer. He can only hope that the minimal corrections he makes would be enough to pass plagiarism checkers. Does a student really want to take that chance?

Essay Mill papers should not be used as anything more than a writing starting point for the student. Do not overpay for any paper from either source since you can never be sure of the content and uhkown deal factors. Most importantly, never submit an original or model paper for a grade. It would be safer for you to just ask for a listing of related citation sources, which is half the job done, then forming the paper yourself. That is a true original paper you cannot be blackmailed for by the company or writer.

I am slowly realizing that Europe, the UK, Asia, and other parts of the would educate the writers differently. Though there may be some educational similarities, there is still a greater difference in the curricula, teaching style, learning curve assessment, and relevant learning coverage for the student. These are but some of the reasons why most writers come up short in terms of content relevance and quality.

They are writing for an educational system they think they are, but in reality, are not familiar with. So they revert to essay banks and cut and paste information to hopefully meet the content and relevance requirements. They have no idea how the grading works in these countries nor of the importance of the written homework, research project, or opinion paper to your grade. They do not care about how their negligent work affects the grade and credibility of the student.

Be sure to hire writers who were educated in the same manner that you are receiving yours in order to actually learn from what was witten for you. Do not submit their work just to complete the course requirement. The relevant educational system is meant to just help the writer meet your instruction requirements. It has nothing to do with the content quality. The writer does not care if you pass or not. He just wants to get paid for half the job done, if at all. So do not trust that original paper for a passing grade.

There have been at least 2 students who are still being blackmailed by an unscrupulous academic writing company. They are being forced to pay for some fake academic certification or risk being reported to (non-existent) academic authorities.

This is a situation that can be easily avoided if proper measures are taken to protect the student's privacy and information before placing the order. Here are some steps students can follow to prevent this from happening to them. The rules apply to both writing companies and freelancers.

1. Use a throw-away email address. Never use your school email account for any reason. The email address should be a different one each time you work with a company. Make sure you can delete it after the deal so any emails sent after will bounce.

2. Use a burner phone to reach out to them. Pay as you go phones will allow you to use a new number with each company. Trash it as soon as the deal is completed.Do not wait for the harassment starts.

3. Never order a cover page or header that contain any identifying information. You can do these yourself.

4. Revise the paper yourself if you have problems with the paper provided. That is as long as the paper is actually usable.

5. Be aware of information you are typing into their chat screen when inquiring or on their writer PM board. Never divulge any school or student number information.

6. Never reach out to these companies via chat apps like Viber and Whatsapp. Be extremely weary of FB, Instagram, or Twitter promoted / listed academic writing companies or writer profile links.

7. Do not hire writers found on Tiktok. There is no way of verifying their credentials or trusting them to be on the level with their business.

8. Ask for opinions at trusted sites like Essay Scam before hiring any company or independent writer.

9. Investigate the company and writer backgrounds before hiring. Never assume that self promotion or glowing reviews are on the level or not paid for. Ask the right questions of independent parties before hiring any service or person.

These are the protective or preventive moves I have thought of so far. Everybody feel free to add your own helpful advice. The students will really appreciate it.

* Remember, they cannot blackmail you if they cannot reach you through readily available internet, social media, and phone channels.

It appears that Yahoo will do anything to make a quick buck.

The company now sees nothing wrong with allowing essay writing companies to advertise in their Finance section. I've just seen them allow for the endorsement of " The 10 Best Writing Services in Australia ".

This is no doubt paid advertising in the guise of an independent article. It is so easy to find that out since the name of the writer and his url leads to the main order page that binds together all 10 writing companies under one system.

The supposedly investigative writer? It is more than likely he owns all of the companies. Transparency rules dictate that I divulge that at least one of the companies mentioned shows up at this forum under several complaints.

Do not hire any of these companies without proper vetting first. Ask the right questions through this forum during your assessment process. We can help you decide the right course of action to prevent future problems on your part.
