In all honesty, I have to admit that AI apps are pretty good at editing existing essays and offering ideas on how to improve the content of an essay. That is something that the students can benefit from. However, they still have to do the writing themselves, with improvements based upon the Ai advice because schools use Ai detection tools already and would automatically fail an essay that was written by an AI.

Sadly, this company is still active and still has a registered UK business address. Their reputation as a scam company that blackmail their clients has spread across the forums and threads online so there is a high percentage of awareness when it comes to this company being a bad player in the academic writing field. They still prey on the innocent students who cannot be bothered to do a proper validity check on the company before hiring them. That said, this thread exists for a reason. I hope that the lurkers here know better than to hire that company in the future.

Legitimate writers can still be found at this forum even though they seem to be radio silent when it comes to the threads. I have heard that there are some who still respond to private messages coming from students that reach out to them via this forum. Those long time writers are definitely legit, even though they are no longer associated with this forum in an active manner. While there are still writing services out there and some independent writers can be found via social media, nothing beats a writer with a long standing positive reputation like the writers whose names and identities can be found at this forum.

Everything is designed using Canva these days, even business cards and flyers. You can still order these from printers if you wish to. However, Canva and word processing programs already come with built in calling card creators. Some of these even have downloadable apps so I don't see why people would stop using printed cards and flyers. Let's be real here, not everyone can rely on electronic advertising. You'd have to spend a bundle to make sure your ads are seen by people. Going old school makes sure you are publicly seen where it counts, and in a more community oriented manner.

There is almost a 0 market for academic writers these days so I would not say that there is a best way to earn money as a writer. Not even if you are patient enough to wait a long time. Most of the academic writers have spun off into other fields of work. Some have turned to VA work. Others have become content creators. Some, have used their writing prowess to train AI. Those are the best ways for a highly skilled academic writer to make money these days.

These companies have never contacted any references that were placed in a resume. They don't care about references since their companies do not legitimately exist anyway. So where is the sense in verifying recommendations? The beauty of the online writing job is that it does not require anybody to vouch for you Your work speaks for itself and the repeat clients you have confirms your character as a person.

STEM students have turned to AI for help with their STEM technical writing needs. They find it faster and easier to code using the AI way. The problem is, there are times when the 3rd rate company would have done a better job of writing for them. The students use AI anyway thinking that it produces the perfect technical paper for them each time. They still don't see the negative effects of AI that could be prevented even by a 3rd rate writing company. STEM did not force these companies out of business, AI did that.

I cannot really tell if recommendations are not allowed here. I mean, I've been lurking here for months and always came across a company representative trying to convince me that their company is legit and that their writers are highly educated, etc. but then I talk to the company rep and discover that their post isn't exactly as was described in the thread. They can recommend their own companies and the mods turn a blind eye to it because it is posted in the Essay services section. Which i don't get. If recommendations really aren't allowed, then why is there a Services section in the forum? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of EssayScam? How are we to know if the site being recommended there is a scam or not? Do the mods check the information about those websites before allowing the post to stay?

Based upon my experience, the number of words per page varies greatly depending upon several factors. These include the font type, the font size, the line spacing, and paragraph requirement per page. A standard page can house a maximum of 300 words if done in Times New Roman, font size 12, double spaced, with a maximum of 5 paragraphs for the page. It is not a rule set in stone though. It is all based upon the format requirement of the student. Just remember, no professor will allow less than font size 10 for the text so trying to keep the size small to avoid paying for more pages could be a problem for the student.

I am not sure if the publicity that is attached to the advertising sections of this forum still serves its original, intended purpose of removing the middle man from the discussion. As far as I can tell, the participants of those sections are no longer active at this forum. Even @Freelancewriter seems to have taken a sabbatical these days and is nowhere to be found. I guess the students can still try to contact the writers that advertised at those places before to see if they are active and can still be directly hired by some.

This is a question that seems to hound teachers and students alike well into the 21st century. Students now use AI to generate their papers, do not bother to even double check the sources, and pass these off, without even reading it, to their professors for a grade. So now the educators are facing more than just plagiarism prove of student writing. Now they also have to prove the essay was written by the student instead of a hired hand or an AI program. The rule of thumb remains the same. Regardless of you bought the essay from a human or, if you used an AI to develop the paper, never submit it in its original form. Read, review, and edit to put your writing style into the paper.

I remember when a student approached me, shaking in his boots because he had received a similar letter. How Di not come from the writing company though. It looked highly professional and could have fooled anybody, except for someone with a trained eye. There were so many red flags in the "copyright" violation letter that I told the student to take it easy, block the email address, and forget about it. He took my advice and graduated without a problem from the university without anyone ever knowing I was his academic writer.

This thread reminds me of the heyday of essay writing services. When writers and companies were at each other's throats, trying to gain clients during a time when human writing lorded it over in the academic field. Now, we are faced with struggles that we never thought would exist. I still believe that regardless of the fights that broke out in this thread in the past, the students will still get better service when they rely on a human writer to complete their paper instead of an automated app. Trust the writing companies, trust the freelancers, let's create jobs and income for our fellow academic writing professionals.

The risk of your user information being used against you is very strong and real, regardless of the location and how or why you gave the information. the length of time that a person / writer has been using his name on the website does not provide any degree of comfort when it comes to whether that person will use that information to blackmail you or not. There is always a first time for everything. Bitcoin is a dying currency as far as I am concerned and there are enough security measures in place through legitimate payment channels that will protect your personal information when paying for services.

I find this thread laughable. it is reminding students of why they are coming to this forum, while trying to get students reveal information about themselves. All I can say is, beware of identity fraud. It is important to keep yourself private in the academic writing world. Do not be too open about your experiences because too much information could be used against you by unknown players.

The focus of these so-called journalists have moved on from trying to prove con academic writing sites and writers, to trying to discredit Gen AI essay apps. The "journalists" were never really in that line of work. They were pretenders who are working for the writing companies. They were competitor representatives hoping to dig up dirt on one another. They disappeared fast. Alongside the fake research that they did for fake companies. They were never legitimate, they were using legitimate company names though.

Well, students need to learn that the responsibility of finding a reputable writing company for them to work with relies on their ability to read between the lines when they are negotiating with the company or the individual writer. It is not up to the participants of this forum to point out who is the good player and who is not. You should learn to trust your gut feeling. If the negotiations are not smooth, you are more than likely dealing with a scam company or writer.

Oxbridgegraduates.com has since pivoted from being an academic writing website to a professional training website. They now deal with professionals who need coaching in their line of work. That is a far cry from the original intent of the company name. I guess the domain was sold by the original owner and the new owners successfully transformed the image of the domain name to one of a more professional and thus, higher image value.

Well, China has become one of the leading educational hubs in Asia since the pandemic ended. They have been sending their graduates overseas to study and they come back well accomplished. It is because the Chinese are not very fluent in English that the OP probably thought it would be a good idea to buy an already existing academic writing service to assist the Chinese students with their studies. Since China is now doing their best to give their children an early English education, I can see why the writing company business may flourish in their country.

Well the students definitely have a reason to complain about being scammed these days when they hire an academic writing service. They are promised that a human being will do the writing of the paper, only to find out that they paid a premium price for AI writing, which they could have done themselves. That is the only definition of students being scammed by an academic writing service that I will accept because the companies and writers are misrepresenting the service they will be providing.

Demographics do not matter in this case. There is no reason for us to keep track of the gender of our clients because as academic writers, we should be able to write using the male or female voice. It is a requirement of this job to be able to think as both a man and a woman, depending on the client perspective as stated in the order form.

This forum is in the business of helping students stay away from problem websites and writers. However, the owners of this forum still need to make a living out of their advocacy. That is why they have recommended services and writers for the students. They allow advertising from these sorts only after they have personally investigated the background of these participants. I have heard from reliable sources that they have actually caught some bad players through this method and have taken the initiative to take down the said website or writer, regardless of the potentially lost income. For them, it is a matter of staying true to their advocacy to ensure that the students end up working with only legitimate sources of academic papers and editing services.

While it is still important that students know how to do their own college research work, it is not really so much of a priority anymore these days. The students will rely mostly on an Ai generated sample paper, with link inclusions, and then work from there. I have even come across some students who actually send the full AI generated paper and had the writer "humanize" the writing for them. I guess that isn't a bad think considering that they actually want to improve on the AI work.

However, the fact that they are too lazy to research their own paper is what worries me the most. Someone or something needs to inspire these kids to start doing their own research again. Otherwise, they will be totally unprepared for the workplace when they graduate.

There are strict academic rules that prevent students from hiring a writing service in the UK. In fact, the rules are so stringent, that only advisory companies exist in physical form. No writer or company would dare face litigation by writing a custom paper for a student. The repercussions are just too much for the writer and the student to risk. Any company that claims to be writing custom assignments with a UK location is lying and will not deliver a good paper to the student.

The students may tend to notice that the forum as become quiet these days in terms of writer participation and advertising. I am not sure why that has happened. Even the ever active Freelancewriter has been MIA for a month or so at this point. So I am worried that the students that hope to use the services being advertised here may find their messages ignored, leading them to the criminal writers out there that prey on the students that rely on this forum for useful writer advice. I hope that is not the case and the forum will come to life soon enough because students need this forum to help protect them from the bad writing actors out there.

It is kinda difficult to accept referrals at this forum these days. While that endorsement is already against the rules, it also fails to consider that these writing sites, editing services, and other related entities could be relying on AI for the work that a human should be doing. These companies have begun to spin off into AI writing services for students, claiming that their paid AI service would result in a better written paper for the student, making it a better option if the student does not wish to opt for the more expensive human counterpart writing.

Like I previously mentioed, Turnitin is trying to spin off it's plagiarism software business because it is becoming irrelevant in the modern age of AI writing. While some schools still require their students to register with turnitin, the professors have found that the plagiarism problem is something the students fail to address even after they are flagged for it because the students trust AI to write the paper properly. It even gives them links to the information sources online for the students to double check the citations, rendering turnitin useless when it comes to plagiarism checking. The students can easily edit the paper to avoid that problem, without having to use turnitin.

Some students get lucky when using EssayChat. They find themselves specialized writers who are highly capable of delivering their scientific paper writing needs. The only problem, is that these writers charge a premium that not all students can afford to pay. However, those who still believe in human academic essay writing do not mind the premium placed on human writing as it beats AI when it comes to scientific analysis and research presentation.

Turnitin is less focused on proving students plagiarized papers these days. The focus of the company is more on how to beat AI writing in the modern educational system. They cannot figure out how to accurately flag a paper as being AI written, or that the citations in the paper are incorrectly provided by the AI. The professors are at their wits end in trying to get students to write their actual papers so that they will learn something because "At least AI does not get me flagged for plagiarism." Turnitin is now refocusing its business strategy and trying to learn how to beat AI at its own game.

While we were able to recover from the effects of the pandemic on the academic writing business, we never expected AI to hit our business as fast and as effectively as it did. There are even less writing orders in 2025-2026 writing season then there were during the international lockdowns. Students adapted well to AI writing and found it far more economical and less of a risk than when they pay actual writers for their paperwork. They fail to see the crap that is produced though but that is another story. The reality is that students are becoming well versed in developing the human aspect of AI writing by combining their skills with the AI, resulting in less work for human writers this season.

I believe that PayPal now offers refunds for problem essays under their Digital Services option. This is for the non tangible systems such as electronic piano pieces, online lessons, and, without a doubt, academic writing orders. I know that there have been a few students that filed claims successfully under this service because they have spoken about the experience openly at other forums. The claim is that PayPal asks to see the paper in question, compares it to the discussion instructions, then makes a decision about the refund. Simple and straightforward.

I do not believe that writers will find any "best essay writing agency to write for" these days. Most of the good companies have gone belly up, those that are treading water are barely making payroll, and the ones that claim to be doing well enough base that claim on not being caught by the students as having AI writers onboard yet.

A high definition website could be more problematic to deal with than a company that uses a more basic looking website for its representation. The quality of work cannot be found in the way the site looks. That is found after the order is placed and you have received your paper. Some websites have not changed their UI in ages, but their company remains stable in terms of client number and influx because the quality of the work their writers do speaks for the website itself. Glossy does not always equate to good quality.

I thought UVOCorp was Philippines owned and based? That was what I gathered when I last checked on the registration of that company. Was it originally Kenyan owned? Anyway, I realize that the post is about Kenyan writers and I have to add a warning to what has already been said, Kenyan writers are now relying heavily on AI for their personal and business writing needs. So if you have a Kenyan writer working on your paper, be prepared to receive a heavily AI authored paper from that person. It is not going to be worth the money you paid out and it will be hard to get a refund from them for something you could have used AI yourself to complete.

KP Writing, as far as I know, is a registered company name for a specific independent writer. This person specializes in all sorts of writing services and has had success at his online writing services company. It does not appear that he has a pool of writers working for him either. He is an independent writer, similar to Freelancewriter, who works for various companies and individuals, depending on their writing needs. I sincerely doubt that he is the same KP Writing being mentioned in this post.

The essay writing websites often get fraudulent registration papers. Some of them actually falsify public documents because they claim to be located in an office space that does exist, but for a completely different business. Even the ownership papers can be easily faked, as well as forwarding phone numbers. Addresses for hire these days are such a large business. Some companies are in the business of renting virtual office addresses and office spaces. Setting up your office space as you need it for meetings and phone conferences. Freelancers can also do the same thing. So it is no longer a matter of having a credible office location. It is a matter of having faith that the writer, or the company, can actually deliver what you need without a problem.

There is no legimitate way of filing a case in the country of registration of the company that will allow a complainant to shut it down. Such a process would require international lawyers and a hefty amount of money on the part of the complainant. I have never heard of a company shut down using such a process as of now. However, the companies have shut themselves down for other reasons as far as I know. While the client may wish they could do something to shut down the company, it just isn't possible when the client and the company are located in 2 different areas of the world.

The rise of digital payments has made it quite difficult to implement the equivalent of cash payments or no refund policies on orders since the payment companies have refund policies in place for all their clients. All writers can do at this point is contest the refund once the claim comes to their attention. While it is difficult to prove that we actually delivered the service that was paid for, there are instances when the refund is not provided once the evidence required by the payment channel is satisfied. The evidences required are now more fair than before so the final decision on the refund is often as fair as can be.

There were some writing companies that loosened the reins on their writer-client interaction when AI first emerged. That is because the clients were demanding more direct contact with the writers, which led the companies to create specialized PM systems that would allow them to read, but not participate in the chat between the two. It was something that worked well for a period of time, but is now no longer important to the service as the companies also use AI to facilitate the said communication lines these days.

The remaining online freelance writers can pretty much write anything that you need them to. The writing that come from the human writers, not necessarily academic writers, ensures that the client will get a paper that contains heart, rather than a polished paper that was generated by an AI and is aimed at ticking off expected boxes, instead of writing from the heart that allows the paper to surpass the expectations of the reader. Independent writers come up with better papers because they are not controlled by a program that limits how they write the paper. We are not just about content and keywords, we are about the humanity that a paper requires to get its message across.
