Don't see a problem posting a full name then - why wouldn't you? In school or class or places like myspace people usually use their real names.

Regarding turnitin - because of such systems people will soon stop posting anything and the Internet will be dead. :|) I still cannot believe they don't pay anything the real owners and are like vultures who make money on people's original content.

Hmm - I don't know.. But if you put your name or something that means you are the author, aren't you.

I could edit your paper - post it here :). It depends what you need. Do you want to paraphrase a paper you borrowed from your colleague? :)

I'm not into essay writing business, but this is what I assumed when I read something like that: "We scan papers using anti-plagiarism software" - after all turnitin and similar systems is in this category, isn't it? Using a local software on your local computer should be "safe", but submitting a paper through an online software would be way too risky.

OK, this is what I've just realized. Assume an essay company writes a paper for me.

Most of these companies claim that "before sending the paper to the client, we scan papers for plagiarism using advanced anti-plagiarism software, including Turnitin".

So yet before they send me the paper, this paper is likely to be in the anti-plagiarism corporations databases and it would be of no use for me! If turnitin and such keeps the scanned papers and then my teacher runs the paper again, it will show the paper is plagiarized! LOL

Is that right?

What?!!?? What do you mean "requires"? It's like your teacher told you "you must buy a X brand laptop to use on my course; otherwise I'll fail you". Turnitin sux and they use your copyrighted work to cash in. Then they store your papers forever to "compare" results of other works with your work. How much commission do they pay you??

Teachers are lazy and think they can "require" the student to do the job for them. What kind of world do we live in?

Forgot to add - I wonder who's "great" idea it was but it was "smart"... As far as I know teachers require the students to submit papers to Turnitin THEMSELVES. Then, when there's a problem, they think they will not be liable for the copyright infringement.. because the student - not them - submitted the paper to the turnitin system.

Smart...

So you guys are selling your assignments?

I wouldn't hire you, Daniella (assuming you write an essay for a company and then try to profit from it again).

For sure, I wouldn't order an essay from any ".co.uk" domain now knowing companies from the UK try to profit twice for doing the same job.

Well, I think you did overreacted. You should know that when you buy a service from a company, they are not your slaves. As they say, s*it happens and the fact that something was not 100% perfect doesn't mean it's always like that. Again, I would appreciate the fact that they were fair enough to tell you it was not possible to deliver a good-quality paper on time; I bet you would have to go thru much more stress if they didn't refund your money.

The above post explained most of my questions.

I've worked with dozens of "legit" companies (are the "500 companies" legit enough?) and they screwed something up so often that you'd even be surprised.

It would probably not make me happy, but personally - if I was a student - I would MUCH RATHER PREFER to get my money back (even in the last minute) than to get a plagiarized paper and jeopardize my education (not to mention having to deal with the company to refund the money). I bet there are hundreds of other companies that would take your money and deliver whatever just to take the money and run.

I think you just overreact in this case.

Nicole, you titled this topic: "Worst Customer Service Ever - They Canceled My Order To Retaliate".

Do you think cancelling an order equals "Worst customer service ever"? I would be very happy if I dealt with a company that refunded my money without mye contacting them several times at least.

It's simple -- you wrote something about the company they have verified that it is legit. They tried to help you by possibly asking the company to assist you. Don't see anything wrong with that - especially that they don't try to hide they may do so on special occasions.

I agree, but that's another pair of shoes... I think it's not legal to post just whatever one likes.

Nicole, my solution would be -- go and set up your own blog (I have provide you with the link in my earliest post). Then describe the situation and post a link to the blog here because I don't think it is allowed to post slandering information (wheather justified or not) on here.

Apparently an essay organization gave my IP address to that company so that they were able to match my IP address to my Personal Email address.

1. Unless you own your own server - your IP address is shared with sometimes thousands or tens of thousands of different computers so in most cases knowing your IP has nothing to do with the ability to "match your email."

My account on an online site is anonymous. It does not have my email address or any other personal information.

2. They don't allow anonymous postings (just like this site) -- before posting a message you must provide username + email address. I'm not sure where you took the "anonymous account" from.

3. They refunded your money (most companies will not do that unless your lawyer calls them) -- it proves they are not as "bad" as you describe it. You got your money back and you still try to slander them...

3. Don't know if you are aware of the fact that posting personal emails on a public forum is considered unethical (if not unlawful).
