There is no company known as Oxfordbridge Essays. A company look up shows that the only listing is for oxbridge essays.com. I find it strange that someone on sitejabber has claimed to have been able to visit their London office when they are not acknowledging any location for the company on their website. They are very careful about avoiding any actual location identifiers. The most they admit to is being a family owned company, nothing more. It is difficult to deal with a company that has a big secret. They are not exactly building goodwill here since even their phone number is a VoIP number which prevents the identifying of their actual location.

This is one company that should be within the target range of @a1writer since it is obviously making a false claim that it is located in the UK and have UK based writers. Since that law was passed, the writing companies in the UK, both online and offline have starting diversifying their businesses into consultations. They know they will face legal ramifications for writing academic papers of any sort. This is a company that is bold faced lying about who they are and where they are located. The company formerly had a Facebook page that screamed accolades of their services, as well as another review page that was also taken down. No doubt the company was receiving negative reviews for their work on those pages and they were being kept busy deleting said comments.

Based on the fact that they are not familiar with the legal problems that a .uk address could rain upon their heads based on offering writing services openly, it is safe to assume that they are not based in the UK, do not have UK based nor educated writers, and they are trying to fool the student into working with them. Remember, there is a reason they refuse to give their actual physical location in their About page. That is the red alert sign if ever there was one.

This is an aim that I share with you. I try my best to share information to the best of my abilities but am often challenged by his likes simply because he believes that anybody who says anything on this forum is working against him. There is a problem with the way he views the other participants here.

He is not working along the lines of the forum objectives because he views other freelancers at this forum as competition. He sees this forum as his personal hunting ground just because he pays to advertise. He is not one who believes in fair play nor fair competition. Which is why he is pointing the students towards the companies he used to work for, without actually naming them. He can only hope the students stumble across his companies and he gets the work order that way.

I can only presume that he has gone back to company attached academic writing because he is not getting any clients for himself based on the way he has been acting and actively lying at this forum. Of course he will not admit that and will instead attack yet again based on "unfounded claims", showing he does not understand what "presume" means.

Students know better than to trust a person who retracts his statements for recalibration when he realizes his exaggerations will and have gotten him into trouble.

The company makes this ridiculous claim that "Freelance writers are not properly trained to research and write quality academic essays". They also claim that they have a regular staff of writers that produce papers only for their company. Both sound like BS to me but I would like to focus on the first BS reference from the company for now. They claim that freelance writers are not capalbe of writing academic essays, which we all know is a bold faced lie because all freelancers are capable of writing any sort of paper as dictated by the client. I am not talking about ESL writers here but the true academic writers who have at least a 4 year college degree. They also make claims that other company writers / freelancers are not trained for the job, yet they fail to qualify their writers by indicating what sort of training they provide to their "in-house" writers. There are too many flase claims in their presentation that, if I were to take a fine tooth comb to, they would have actually provided evidence of their fraudulent services by their own words.

Wow! That is an amazing discovery. If you want things to calm down, then call his bluff. Name him directly in this forum (to warn other students) and link to the reviews that speak of his bad intentions and services. If you are using a pay as you go number, then I suggest changing you number or blocking his number/s as they come in. Never answer unknown numbers. If possible, change your email address. Delete the current email which I hope, is not a school related email account. By naming him, you will be able to push him into a defensive corner or make him stop totally. You have to reverse the tables on him somehow. Cutting him off is a start.

Do not be afraid to fight for yourself. Do not be afraid that the university will find out. They never will. That is the con of these scammers. They play the long game of threats and blackmail hoping to wear you down into giving them what they want. Sometimes, you just have to fight back. This is one time you should consider that.

Not that you are asking me but I thought I would throw my ten cents into this latest post of yours. It sounds like you were scammed by the company and writer. They are one and the same. You were dealing with an independent writer who was using a company name as his cover. He is both the writer and the consultant you are speaking with. Now you have let him know that your email is active and that you were just ignoring his previous messages using a fraudulent email account. I believe you have gone from bad to worse in this situation.

If you would like to listen to other advice, I believe it would be best for you to not coordinate any efforts with the writing company at this point. It will serve no purpose. They will ask you to pay the writer a lower fee to stop the blackmail. He is trying to negotiate something with you under false pretenses, a new false alias. Stop dealing with this person and let it go. Ignoring the person is your best defense. Communicating in any way just gives them a new venue to try a new money fleecing tactic on you.

There is no need to disclose your actual location to us. All that matters is that you are not in the UK and you are not covered by that particular law. I wish you had done more than just corrected grammar issues in the work you paid for though. Actually rewording a majority of the content would have negated the paid work. Allowing you to reference it as a "model paper" if you were asked about it.


Since you cannot disprove that you submitted the paper for a grade, then you may be brought up on charges of academic misconduct / dishonesty resulting in either suspension or expulsion. It will depend on the way the academic council would view the seriousness of your actions. As a first timer, maybe a suspension will be applied. Nobody can be sure.


Good move. Keep ignoring the writer. Block his email or send it directly to spam. Interaction of any sort will embolden him. He is just testing the waters for now.


Coming clean and admitting guilt is always beat. That is if you are aiming for leniency since you do not have a valid defense. Trying to claim innocence about not knowing that hiring academic writers and submitting the work for a grade was an academic offense will not fly. IMO, the model paper defence would have been the best defense. When cornered, be honest. It should help the outcome of the investigation.

Do not worry though. I sincerely believe it will not come to that. Just continue to ignore the writer. He will eventually quit contacting you.

Are you a UK based student? If you are then there are 2 problems facing you in this situation. The first is possible expulsion due to academic dishonesty and the second, would be repercussions of filing legitimate charges against the company. Either way, if you are a UK based student, you will have to face the consequences of your actions. Do not try to reason with the blackmailer. Come clean with the academic and law enforcement authorities. These defense lines are the only ones available to you, although both could wien your future. Think of it this way, you will be saving future students by allowing yourself to become an example.

Now, if you are not covered by UK law but happened to have hired a UK writer /company then just ignore them. You paid the company and that is Where your client responsibility ends. Other countries do not have strict rules about academic writers for hire and the schools have bigger problems than trying to prove academic dishonesty.

According to the grapevine, this company only has 6 active writers on staff that try to cover all of the bases when it comes to writing assignments. So my guess is they have let go of their writers pool and the owners of the company are the ones left doing the writing jobs. So they can charge whatever they want for the total order, not necessarily per page anymore. It is difficult to say if the company provides good services at this pont. It is good to know that it is a legitimate US registered and located business though. That is a good start.

@a1writer Self publicity may be different from the truth. He may act confident and insist his business is successful when the exact opposite could be the reality. His age old website does not evoke a sense of confidence in a modern student. It is too self centered and does not really consider the client's needs. Specially since no prices are mentioned for even the most basic services he might be offering. Students need specifics these days. They also need more engaging websites to deal with. I do not think his website works as effectively as his self promotion at this forum. Which is why he is more focused here than on heightening the profile of his website or increasing his social media presence like the others have successfully done.

These personal qualifications are what now exclude British born and bred writers from participating in academic writing companies. The current regulations disallow the opening of an essay writing company physically or within the realm of the internet. That is not to say that the writers cannot work for companies that exist outside of Britain, but offer writing services to British or UK based students. The problem, is that working for these companies could be problematic for the UK based writer. Now, while he may not work for companies, I do not believe that the cannot advertise his services on social media platforms as a writing consultant, and figuring a way around the rule that way. A consultant does not write the paper, but he can "advice" regarding content improvement by offering "Samples" to the student.

Neither of the websites are accessible at this point. The .com name is currently for sale from GoDaddy.com. They basically parked on the address, squatting, for want of a better term, to sell it at a higher price. I doubt anybody is interested in buying it because if anyone was interested, the domain would have sold by now. I am inclined to believe that the .us address was somehow related to the .com name since both are now offline. You just cannot keep a lousy academic website up and running I guess. It has to fold shop at a certain point. Regardless of how many url / domain names the company holds.

Okay, as far as I can tell, this company is no longer in existence. It has an error regarding name not resolved when I try it in 3 browsers. I am not sure if I am being blocked from accessing the site (a situation that exists for me with regards to UKEssays that seems to remain unresolved), or if the site is totally offline. Running a Google search of the company name shows cached pages with regards to the information but, I cannot get the pages to load for me for some reason. Are the academic companies blocking certain IP's from accessing their sites? if so, why?

AlertPay is still listed under its original name in Google Playstore, but clicking on the link provides one with its updated company name. It is now known as MySafePay. While I do not question the company name change as most tech provider companies do these days, I question why there are no reviews provided for the company in the app store. Since the original company name was associated with problematic transactions, I do not doubt that they believed the brand name change would help the company better its image. Something that I am not sure about since the old name is still attached to the new brand name. Meaning, the name recall will still be negative in the process. I wonder why Google has not allowed comments for the service at the moment. It is not in beta mode or any status that would prevent comments, both positive and negative, from being posted in public.

I wonder if fast papers still has a severely limited writing pool at this time, or if they have increased their on hand writers since 2018. At the time, they had 50 writers. Due to current UK laws, I am guessing they would have had to release the 11 UK based writers that they had in their employ. I do not believe this company is worth a shot. Their CPP is spoken of in general terms and you have to do a thorough search of the site to even find out the prices. They really buried it in their about page for some reason. Anyway, if I company cannot tell you what certain papers will cost upfront, expect that this secrecy if for a reason. It would be better to look for an alternative while you still can.

CustomPapers seems to be one of the more reliable writing companies that happens to be openly advertised at this forum. I've read both good and bad reviews for their services so I guess that the client experience is more of an individual satisfaction / dissatisfaction consideration. From what I have read / heard, the company has done some pretty good / reliable work throughout its existence. Rarely do they have writer complaints but when they do, the complaints are quickly addressed. They specialize in masters and dissertation writing from what I have heard and often get recommended by word of mouth.

If I am not mistaken, the company was dissolved in October 2013. Based on available records, the company was bankrupt at the time of dissolution with less than 200 pounds to split between the partners. The information about the company is publicly available online for anyone interested in learning more about it. It seems the company lost money during its existence rather than making money. There are 3 other companies existing at the UK address they chose but I am not clear as to whether these are shell companies for academic writing services.

The company almost had me convinced of the legitimacy of their existence up until the point where their bluff was called about a face to face meeting. Liz suddenly shut up after that. Her bluff was called and she knew it. Silence, as they say, speaks a thousand words and in this case, she ultimately proved that her company was nothing but a scamming con.

I can only assume that this company deals with numerous complaints regarding instruction adherence from their students. Most of the time of the writer is most likely spent on the revisions which may or may not be the student's fault. Regardless of these problems, I do not see the Platinum service of this company as being beneficial to the student at all. Why would a student need an audio version of his research paper? Why is the company issuing a paper report card? That report card is not going to be related to the final grade the professor will be applying to the submitted paper. Why all these extra "services" that should be coming from free as a part of client services / interaction? Do not be fooled. The Platinum service is just a way of making you part with more of your money for what will still be the same mediocre services.

So, I just found out that this company is the sister of UKessays.com. The latter website is still inaccessible via Chrome, Firefox, and DDG. So do not tell me that my information is wrong or I am targeting the company for attacks. I tried 3 different browsers just to avoid that precise accusation. Anyway, the company claims to have moved its writing services to UKessays instead of allanswers. All 3 sites are related and fall under the same umbrella company. These all carry UK addresses as well with businessteacher and allanswers openly acknowledging their direct relationship as affiliates in the UK. I would not trust these companies to develop my paper since they use a UK address knowing very well that their services are illegal in the UK. If the student still opts to use this service, then they do so with their eyes open.

The student more than likely did not get his money back since the website went offline within the year. The domain name is currently for sale so the company owners more than likely pulled out of the academic writing business in totality. Otherwise it would have redirected to a new company anchor page rather than a domain name for sale reference.

The company no longer exists although the url seems to be owned by a Chinese pornography company. Mods, please take down this thread as it poses a danger to the students who might try to access this website based on the discussion in the thread. There is no sense in leaving up a thread that has the potential to damage the students computer/tablet/laptop. Who knows what the Chinese have embedded into that site to autolaunch once it is accessed by an innocent user? Let's not have ES liable for any damages that might occur in the process.

TotalEssays.com leaves me wondering as to their actual location. The way they have framed their anchor page indicates that they are trying to avoid any legal responsibility as warranted by the new UK law that criminalizes and penalizes those who use academic writing services and outlaws the existence of such companies within the UK. They claim to be a consultancy and editing service only. Yet, when one reads the services as provided in the TOS, they indicate that they write original papers and offer limited editing / revision services as a part of the original paper service. It is also clear that they wash their hands when it comes to how the person that hired their services will use the paper. So, this is an admission that the student may submit the paper for a grade, they just cannot refer to the company as the one that developed the paper for them. Since they have a non-refund clause for dissastifactory service, it appears that the company is trying to scam the students by confusing them when it comes to the necessary information.

The problem is that the students themselves do not understand what the writing instructions are. The ESL students are the most guilty of this crime since they prefer to restate the instructions in their own mangled way. They rewrite the directions to the point where the writer will have to ask for clarification regarding the original guidelines. They often confuse editing with proofreading and rewriting with original content writing. The poor writer is left trying to decipher what service the client actually needs before he submits a paper that creates a disgruntled student who will leave a bad review for him and demand a refund. The more detailed the instructions these ESL students provide, the more they confuse themselves as to the final product they actually want.

Independent writers who have talents far beyond simple and advanced academic writing have a future in the direct writers for hir business. While I cannot mention the specific companies that allow freelancers to sign up for these opportunities, I can say that a simple Google search will return the wanted results when the correct keywords are used. Multi talented writers should find themselves within the qualifications needed by people who hire ghost writers for blogs, speeches, journal writing, among others. The academic writing field is too crowded these days with many independent writers breaking away from company relationships. It would be better for any truly gifted writer to get out of this field and go into another, more professional, and less of a gray aread field of writing.

Well, the last positive review this website got from any client was in 2019. The negative reviews started pouring in through various rating sites at the start of 2021. That was during the peak of the pandemic. The students complained that the papers were just compeleted using the Wikipedia cut and paste method, the preferred writing style of third world writers who have no idea what they are doing. The writers also started complaining about not being paid well over a quarter of that year. So they definitely have financial problems over there. There were no resolution posts from the writers or the clients so it is safe to assume that the problems still exist, even as they try to ignore the negative reviews on their actual website. When a company takes to posting positive testimonies of their own services, you know they are trying to cover something up.

Right now, there is no website to speak of when one tries to access this domain name. In DDG, the message is that the name is not resolved. When entered into FF it returns an address not found result. The same goes for Chrome. So the company obviously let go of this domain name soon after the negative reviews started coming out. The question, is whether they totally pulled out of the business since they are using a UK based domain name or, if they just changed names to get around the UK law against essay writing companies of any sort. Does anybody know if the latter is what the company runners decided to go with?

That url now redirects to yonipp.com. It is obviously still owned by the same people since the old url directs to the new company. They do not directly solicit academic writing jobs anymore. Nor to they claim to hire academic writers. They have rebranded into a lifestyle writers pool company that specializes in blogging, vlogging, copywriting, among other alternative writing jobs. Do they still dabble in academic writing? There are no signs that would point to that. However, they never said that they do not offer that service. So maybe sending them an email will prove just how honest their current anchor page content is. I am not confident that the company can be trusted based on a simple rebranding. Maybe reviews of their work under their new target clients will also hit this forum in the future.

Based on the current searches that I did for both companies, the only returns I got were for non-related institutions that happened to use the same keywords as the url name. Having used several browsers to make sure that I do not make a mistake with my claim, I found that neither Chrome nor Firefox could find the said websites. Therefore I believe that both companies have scrubbed their internet presence prior to either completely leaving the industy or changing their company name. Since both sites claim to be working out of the UK, where their services are now illegal, it would be important for them to remove any online evidence of their writing company. I do not doubt that these were questionable companies before, which led to their company demise later on.

I still have a problem accessing UKEssays.com from my DuckDuckGo browser. The same access denied problem still exists. It may not seem important to the company owners but they may have some potential clients who use DDG who are unable to access the site. I suggest making the site compatible with as many browsers are possible to make sure the students will be able to access the site using any browser app. As for the other company, the site is down at the moment. It is not offline. The url license just expired. The page comes up with an advisory for the site admin to renew the domain name. Maybe they do not plan to do so anymore. Good for the students who do not have to deal with the problem site right?

The company could either be a fraud or simply meant for the use of Chinese students alone. The website is written in Chinese characters which tells me that their target audience is not the general studentry. While the non-Chinese speaking students may consider the company a fraud, the pure Chinese students may deem it otherwise. Just because we cannot understand the text of the site does not mean it is a fraud. It just means it does business with a specific audience. Nothing wrong about that. Let the Chinese students have their own exclusive academic writing circle. Who are we to say that they will not benefit from such exclusivity right?

I am not sure what business this company is actually in. Is it a company involved in housing development? Or does the company deal with academic writing? If one looks at the anchor page, it looks nothing like a writing company site. However, clicking on the Contact link sends one to a form that allows one to inquire about writing services. So which is it? I think the confusing presentation is meant to mislead educational institutions and the like. It is meant to help get around ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT RULES 2014 which was passed by the Australian government in 2020. It prohibits the hiring of academic writing companies or the setting up of such companies in Australia and carries stiff penalties for violators. Why they simply did not take down the website is a mystery. They left their Australian address on the site and retained the obvious essay writing company name. They claim to not be in the business but everything they are doing proves otherwise.

The description of a Native English speaker is usually reserved as a reference to the citizens of the following countries:

USA
UK
Ireland
Canada
South Africa
Australia
New Zealand

This classification places the citizens of other countries, but who were born and raised speaking either British or American English, and were educated in international schools where the medium of education is English, at a disadvantage. English tests would classify these people as "Native English" speakers, while those from the countries listed would argue that they are not native speakers simply based on syntax differences and accents. Which does not matter to the educator in the English speaking country since English is acknowledged as a living, breathing, and evolving language that is influenced by various usage eccentricities of differing countries, hence the constantly changing language use that helps the language to grow in international influence.

The truth is that one need not be born in the listed countries to classify as a native speaker. These qualifications that matter so much to the writers at this forum do not matter at all. As long as the person speaks/writes fluently in coherent English, regardless of whether it is American or UK English, regardless of his birthplace, he is classified as a Native English speaker because English is his native language and he uses the language in a manner almost indiscernible to that of one born in any of the enumerated countries.

The company has tried to professionalize their writing service by offering SIMBA, their online writer training school, where writers that complete the course come away with a certificate of completion. Uh, if the company has to teach the writer how to do his job, which is a skill gained by those who attended proper academic institutions, then they have just admitted that their writing staff is worthless. They even openly post links to the third world countries where they claim to have offices, that act as their recruitment agency for their third rate writers. If I were the student, I would not hire any writer from this company, since they had to be taught how to do their jobs, showing a lack of proper education on the part of the academic writer. Anybody who completed a proper college education should be able to do this job without any training necessary.

I was surprised to read that this company actually encourages their clients to sell papers to their classmates through their "same topic but different writer" service. They actually entice the student to order 2 papers. One for himself and the other, to sell to a classmate. I am not sure how I feel about such a service. What is to stop them from reselling the paper I paid for to other students then? Why do they also proudly list their "free" services as something special when in actuality, these are sections that are given for free by all essay writing companies and independent writers? By the way, do not give too much weight to their trust raitings. It is pretty obvious that this company has hired hands to deliver positive reviews at these sites consistently to help with their rating score and trust considerations.

These companies do not hire just African writers. They are actually better known for being the United Nations of third world English writers. They will hire just about anybody from any third rate country who is willing to work at lower than acceptable wage rates. Most them are actually on the DND list of this forum. Evidence that they know they are not reliable writing services so they wish to quash any negative reviews that may come this way. How these companies manage to still stay in business is beyond me. I guess some students really never learn.

All of these url's are offline except for theessayist, which leads to some anchor page written in Chinese. So I am guessing that url is being sold within the Chinese market. All the other site names are officially ofline. There is not even a cached domain to access for any of the remaining site names. Lucky for us the sites are gone. From the looks of it, the owner did not know how to run a business anyway. With all of the lies told, it was only a matter of time before she had a company without writers. Since she could not write the work herself, shutting down the companies online presence was the best move she could make.

The company clearly claims to be based in the UK based on its url extension. For some reason, they did not seem to get the memo that they are not supposed to be writing academic papers, not even model papers for the UK based students anymore. They have not fixed their information to reflect that. I do not believe that saying the following in their disclaimer absolves them of the crime :

Services provided by Custom-Papers.co.uk are to be used for research purposes only.
If you use an assignment written by Custom-Papers.co.uk writers, it should be referenced accordingly.

This is a claim that is countered by their Customer Bill of Rights that indicates:

Custom-Papers.co.uk has proved its reputation of a reliable and trustworthy writing company. No matter what assignment you need - custom essays, custom term papers, custom research papers, etc. - here you get only high quality and non-plagiarized custom papers. Everything we do - we do it FOR YOU to enjoy your FREE TIME and achieve ACADEMIC SUCCESS!

How can they claim to be writing non-usable research papers when their whole front page and other pages assure the students of the definite use of the paper in exchange for a grade? Since they do not indicate where their company is actually registered, students should deal with them with care.

The students seem to prefer posting screenshots or cut and paste chat discussions instead of the order number. I do not know why the have this preference since the chat provides the discussion flow, but does not allow for a thorough investigation of the matter. By posting the order number, the company representatives that lurk at this forum will have the opportunity to defend themselves against unjust claims. I should know, they have come after me often enough for commenting negatively about their company for an unrelated reason. You would think that the students would use this forum to reach out to the company reps or anybody connected to the company in an effort to resolve the issue. I wonder why the mods did not think of using this suggestion.

These days the writing companies make it clear that the company owns the model paper and the client is not allowed to submit the essay for grading under any circumstance. The retained ownership is meant to cover their liablity in the event that the student is discovered to have used a writing service. Unless the company clearly transfers the rights in the TOS, the student should not assume he owns the paper. All he can do is use it as a reference. If the company or writer retains the rights then yes, either of them can resell the paper numerous times.
