Don't do anything yet. Ignore them. Sounds to me like they are bluffing as you did not submit the essay and they don't know your university.

I need to look at them in more detail and will report back shortly.

@noted
This shows your integrity as a writer.
Some unscrupulous writers don't give a damn what the students do and never issue warnings about not passing the essay off as their own. That is just encouraging cheating.

This remains the $6 million question. Read the views of people on this site particularly those with nothing to gain from giving objective advice. Self-serving opinion is easy to spot.

Also, as you rightly point out, such writers should only write within the actual realm of study in which they matriculated.
I will never tire of repeating this guidance in order to assist students looking for a reputable academic writer.

@noted
It is also illegal for foreign based companies and foreign freelance writers to write custom essays for British students to be handed in at British universities.

As for legitimate editing, proofreading services, students should choose a person with a British qualification. Otherwise you will end up with a foreigner with no respect for laws of another country. who uses essays banks, like markedbyteacher, makes some alterations before submitting it to you.

Hiring someone with a qualification in the same subject as the essay should be paramount in respect of any essay writing service, unless you are seeking purely grammatical changes.

It doesn't look like this company ever got off the ground in any event.

Exactly, reviews are worthless but you keep banging on about them.

Your mates want to support you hoping you might bung those still active some work as you have done in the past, helping each other out. So probably with a bit of persuasion from you they all jumped on the bandwagon.

Your attacks on me which have been vitriolic are basically centred on the premise that I am not retired and am seeking work. Wrong again. It suits your narrative to say this but I am no longer working in any capacity. You won't ever find me on Essay Chat or anywhere else looking for work.

FW quote 'Finally the only thing I "encourage" my clients to do is to use my projects however they think will benefit them the most'. What surprises me is that you still don't get it.

Plagiarism is ideological theft, when a person takes an idea that is not their own and represents it for credit. You offering to 'write the worst essay that I'm comfortable writing' is the most blatant example of someone writing in a specific style knowing the client is in all likelihood going to pass it off as their own. This is cheating. But you couldn't care less.

The jealousy remark doesn't wash for reasons I've given before but as you are slow on the uptake I'll repeat them just for you. I have no affiliation to any company and I am retired. Therefore my presence on this forum is as it should be, namely to help protect students from scam, unscrupulous, dishonest essay companies and freelance writers.

One definition of a braggart/boaster who is basically insecure.

@99Essays quote referring to FW 'with a very "professional" approach to dealing with clients'
FW offering to 'write the worst essay that I'm comfortable writing' is as pathetic a comment as I have seen anywhere. That has nothing to do with his confidence and everything to do with writing an essay capable of being passed off as the student's own.

FW has been criticised for ages on this forum yet suddenly there is a rush to defend him. Is he incapable of defending himself? Or more likely that he, even you, and everyone reading this forum knows that encouraging cheating is wrong.

I don't think a bunch of FW's mates coming out the woodwork to offer support fools anyone.
My so-called 'attacks' highlight the legitimate concerns I have about him.
Honest scrupulous writers don't encourage students to cheat.

@ProfessorVerb


If only that were true, wishful thinking. I have written for a top UK essay company and then as a freelance writer so I don't qualify as 'unscrupulous'. I have nothing to be scared of. Encoraging students to cheat is unscrupulous and that is why FW should be avoided.

@noted
No, this is not the company I used to write for so can't really comment on the accusations. However when I type their name in my browser it takes me to https://royalessays.co.uk/ so they have changed their name.

Quote ' I believe writers should take pains to guide the students they work for and care about how the model papers are used. After all, it will not serve the student a purpose if I write or wrote the perfect paper for him but he was caught using the paper dishonestly and he was removed from school because of it'.

This is true which is why I would avoid any essay company or wriiter who tells clients they can use the essay as they like. That is totally unethical.

@noted


Yes this is what it was designed to do and to stop students from cheating. It does of course apply to all foreign essay companies and writers.

Anyone can write this and the fact that you have to keep on repeating this staement shows you are worried about your reputation. Who is going to admit that they have been accused of being dishonest, get real.

Your attitude of allowing clients to do as they like with the essays you write is tantamount to encouraging cheating and you know it and don't care.

Any writer who offers to write his 'worst essay' in order that the (probably ESL) client can pass it off as their own is not a writer of integrity and should be avoided.

@FreelanceWriter

Your lack of consistency is breathtaking. You do not care how your clients use your essays.

Regarding ESL clients in particular, you state:
'After I let them know that I can provide higher or lower substantive analyses and/or higher or lower levels of writing, it's up to them to ask for what they need from me'. ]So you will write in an ESL type fashion knowing full well the reason you are doing so allows the client to hand the work in as their own.

FW 'If new clients provide me with their own essays, I always caution them against ever trying to submit anything written by me for the same course in which they've already submitted any of their own writing....'Your tacit advice is that if a client has not used you before then it is in order for him/her to submit the essay as their own as they will probably get away with it.

FW 'Once in a while, they send me such bad essays of their own that I have to tell them that I just cannot "match" that level of work. In those cases, I'll offer to write the worst essay that I'm comfortable writing........' All decent essay companies and honest freelance writers would proofread and edit such essays. Dishonest ones would see it as a money making exercise by writing the essay from scratch.

You have aleady admitted elsewhere that your clients can use the work you provide in whatever way they choose.
Now, you have written your usual elaborate drivel in an attempt to hide the fact that your philosophy encourages cheating.Your pathetic attempt has failed.

@noted
No not exactly. By collaborative services I mean the writer advises the student on their essay such as how to structure it, develop arguments and write a literature review. In other words it is similar to online tuition but the student will be writing the essay. However proofreading, marking and editing services are allowed under the law.

@noted


Submitting essays as your own work is cheating and writers who don't care whether or not a student passes the essay off as their own are a disgrace.

@noted
I know nothing of this company which professes to be based in London. However the service they offer are phrased in such a manner that they are not offering to write custom essays which is in breach of Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022 . The company offers collaboration type services which are aimed to help students write their own work. As such their services are lawful.

Foreign based essay companies and freelance writers, including those advertising on this forum, should also comply with UK domestic law and not write custom essays for students studying at British institutions affected by the change in law.

This is such a good point to make.

@StudetatUK
You will have difficulty claiming for your 'time'.
A quick look at the website leads me to believe they are scam merchants.

FreelanceWriter "My website makes clear that my work is intended to be used as a model; but my clients are all adults who are fully capable of making their own autonomous decisions about how they choose to use the projects that they receive from me."

"FreelanceWriter "Once my projects are delivered to my clients, they own them exclusively and they can decide how to use them in whatever way they think will benefit them optimally."

Not sure your website is specific about that. Perhaps you need to amend it. Encouraging students to hand in the work as their own is aiding and abetting cheating. Basically the customer would be committing plagiarism and therefore cheating. By 'encouraging' I mean that you do not forbid it. Do you understand that plagiarism is a double edged sword. 'No' is the answer which is worrying in itself.

Contrary to yet more of your lies, reputable UK essay companies state that custom essays will not be resold. As befits a law abiding organisation they also make it clear that customers who hand in an essay as their own commit a breach of copyright. The essay should be used as an academic research tool/study aid. They do not leave it to customers' discretion which at the very least points to indifference as to whether students cheat.

Reputable UK freelance writers follow the same rules so that customers are clear that the essay is a study aid and not to be passed off as their own.

Only disreputable essay writers geared towards coining it in would have such scant regard for their customers. Totally irresponsible.

@noted
Such sound analysis and advice. I appreciate all your contributions in helping to protect customers from scam, dishonourable, incompetent essay companies and freelance writers.

If I were a customer seeking a competent writer, I would use a reputable UK essay writng company without the need to test the writer. Alternatively I would be comfortable using a freelance writer with a British qualification if that writer restricted themselves to writing on topics in which they were qualified.

FreelanceWriter says "That, of course, means you'll be receiving something custom-written specifically as a part of your new project that fairly represents the quality of the work that you'll be receiving from that writer if you choose to order the rest of your new project from that writer after reviewing the short prepaid section. That remains the best "test" of any writer or essay company, except that with an essay company, it also depends on getting the same writer for the rest of the project, which may or may not be the case, at all".

(You can request from reputable UK companies that the same writer completes the essay. Of course a customer would not normally request a "taster" since the assigned writer will have a British qualification in the same topic as the customer's essay so they can order with confidence).

Above as I already quoted you said " I also agree with this and have suggested that clients using a new writer for the first time always do this. Ideally, order a short, less-important project with a long deadline before you take the risk of ordering a long critically important project with a short deadline".

So what is it to be? Order a paid excerpt of the essay the customer intends to place or order a full if short unrelated project?

The only thing consistent about you is your inconsistency.

@noted said "Have him write a short portion of the paper you are interested in placing with the writer. See if he can meet your needs".

FW replied "I also agree with this and have suggested that clients using a new writer for the first time always do this. Ideally, order a short, less-important project with a long deadline before you take the risk of ordering a long critically important project with a short deadline".

From FW's website "I won't refuse to send a sample if you just want to see my writing style, but otherwise, it's useless to you because really you have no way to be sure that I really wrote whatever I send you.Any sample I send you will always be on a totally different subject area than your project inquiryand sections and some citations/references will have been deleted so that it can't easily be reused."

Another example of your dishonesty, saying one thing on this forum and then contradicted on your website.

@Cite
Exactly. The OP should take advantage of the fact that he obtained his qualification from a British university. This will give him an instant advantage over other non-British educated writers. The UK university system is acknowledged as requiring some of the most rigorous and exacting academic standards in the world. My advice to students is to adhere to a writer educated in the UK. The OP should be able to post details of his qualification(s) including the name of the respective education establishments on his blog/profile or website as appropriate.

I wouldn't trust a writer who doesn't provide such details and is ambiguous about the type and standard of degree(s) obtained.

@FreelanceWriter 'My customers own the work that I provide and it's totally up to them how they use it and what they choose to do with it once I've delivered it'.

I believe that's called encouraging students to cheat.
A reputable essay company and freelance writer will normally insist that the essay is to be used as an academic tool helping customers to draft their own essay. Anything less is cheating. Essay writers have their own style and by merely passing off the essay as their own the customer is taking a big risk. Responsible essay writers would have the customers' best interests at heart and not promote cheating; in fact they would warn against it.

@Cite

Having written for a top UK essay writing company I can vouch for them during the period I worked for them.
They are rigorous in their vetting procedure and will only take on writers who have a British degree of 2.1 (minimum). This means that your essay will be written by someone who has a depth of knowledge in the topic pertinent to your essay. It will not be sub-contracted out in an amateur fashion. After all if someone admits to sub-contracting out one topic they are probably sub-contracting out other areas.

So far as the company is concerned the writer will be qualified to take on the assignment. Someone with a degree in Geography would not be allowed to bid for an assignment in Economics. Familiarity with the topic enables the writer to comprehensively answer the question in a thought provoking manner which someone without knowledge of the subject cannot attain.

@FreelanceWriter

I imagine your use of 'legitimate writers' is a veiled reference to me but as I have reiterated I am retired. My sole interest in being on this forum (used exclusively by you as your propaganda machine) is to help all students identify scam and incompetent essay companies and freelance writers. Being British I have a particular interest in protecting the UK market. Your nasty characterisation of me is totally false since I am not your competitor.

However my comments on this forum are having some effect. The former client I mentioned before has British friends who say they would not touch you with a barge pole. Their reasoning is the same as I have set out on many occasions.

It is not defamation if what someone says is true. Your memory for telling lies is very short. Suggest you refresh it below:

It would be interesting to know if the OP has started his own company. Sadly it looks as if he hasn't been on this forum lately. It is some years since his idea and if he hasn't set up a company yet I don't think the present economic climate is particularly conducive to setting up a company although he could do it in such a manner that it complies with the recent changes in English essay writing law.

Interesting to note that #26 is another opportunistic instance of self-promotion, completely irrelevant to the start of this thread.

@FreelanceWriter
"Contrary to what some essay companies want their customers to believe, projects aren't "assigned" to writers. Projects are simply listed on a bulletin board and writers take whatever assignments they want from those boards. Essay company writers are all independent contractors who take only the assignments they want. Projects can only be "assigned" to employees".

You spout drivel. Your assertion applies to all essay companies. This is a lie based on your lack of knowledge of the UK writing industry.

Considering I worked for one such company I should know! A writer with an LLB will not be allowed to bid on projects in other topics. An LLB is a Bachelor of Laws in the UK just to enlighten you. There is a good reason for this approach. A writer with an LLB will have the depth of knowledge in Law to fulfil the requirements and will be qualified to write to the standard required.

@noted
I think the trouble with essay companies is that there are several scam ones as a quick scan of this forum will show. It is true as you have said that you won't get an immediate answer if you have an amendment to make since the company will contact the writer and will not allow the client to have any contact with the writer. The reason is obvious as the company could be cut out of future business. Well this is what happens in the UK but it may be different elsewehere.

Students own research will reveal the reputable companies available.

If you can find a freelance writer qualified to write in a particular field that can also prove fruitful. If you contact one who has a degree in Law as an example you will be able to ask them any question on Law and they should be able to write on that topic without saying: "Sorry not sure if I'm good enough/confident enough to write it to the standard you require." The caveat as always is that a student studying at a UK education establishment restricts their search to UK essay companies or UK freelance writers. It makes sense.

@FreelanceWriter
"Many of my clients are UK and European students studying at some of the best UK and European universities..." So easy for any essay writer to make such claims.

"If UK students want to be sure that an American-educated writer can provide high-quality work on UK projects, they should simply test that American writer with smaller projects or smaller portions of longer projects". Why would or should a student bother having to do this when they can use an essay service provided by a UK qualified and vetted writer working for a reputable UK essay writing company. It's not worth the hassle or taking the risk to ask for a sample when the alternative is to place an order where you know exactly what you are paying for via an online form. Why order a burger from Pizza Express when McDonalds is available.

"I then searched for something that I could upload to prove what I'd said; but the only record I found......" This admission by you shows exactly how you operate and why you should never be trusted. You make claims off the cuff and then you scrabble to look for evidence to support your claims which are not there. So what does this say about your honesty and whether anything you say should be taken at face value.

This in itself makes it more sensible for UK students to use reputable UK essay writing companies or freelance writers who have the qualifications, knowledge and experience of the rigours of the UK essay writing industry.

@FreelanceWriter
quote 'I've also had clients tell me that they received a 1st even though they asked me to try for a 2.1.' Students would not ask a writer to 'try for a 2.1' unless they didn't have confidence that the writer would achieve it. I guess this shows how you operate, always hedging your bets with UK students, never sure enough of your writing abilities to write at the level they want unless it is at 3rd class level.

It's so easy to make up outlandish claims, fake reviews and unfortutunately as you have exaggerated before (50% revised downwards to 30%) you have shown yourself to be careless with the truth. Most writers can flippantly say that a student has received a higher grade than the one they asked for. I have written at 2.1 level and former students have received a 1st class grade but this is easily dismissed just like your claims.

Excerpt from UKEssays: 'Ever since we started back in 2003, we've led the industry from the front, setting trends and smashing expectations. We were the first company in the world to offer you guaranteed 2:1 and 1st class work.' UK students take note. The choice is clear: a writer who 'tries' but is uncertain if he can meet students' brief and a transparent, reputable UK company using competent, vetted writers with UK qualifications.

@FreelanceWriter
I note that not all UK students reappoint you. Probably once bitten twice shy. As someone who boasts about his abilities this is not looking good for your rapidly diminishing reputation.

Have you ever written at 2.1 ot 1st class level? Do you even know what that means and what the precentages are for the various classes of undergraduate degrees in the UK? I suggest you do a Google search now.

FW (quote) 'Maybe you'd like to address the substantive merit of your argument directly, instead of just providing convenient excuses for refusing to do so,..' (quote). I know this aimed @noted but I'd like to refer you to one of many legitimate questions addressed to you which you avoid answering.

Reference https://essayscam.org/forum/es/oxbridge-graduates-seem-legit-tell-137/2/#msg86364
'Why do you persistently ignore reasonable requests to give details of the 3 degrees you claim to have? Why do you hide this? Students can make up their owm minds about your dishonesty.' The forum awaits your reply.

My views are well known on this. Reputable essay companies restrict their writers to taking assignments in topics in which they have graduated. There is a good reason for this. Only a writer who has in-depth knowledge of the respective topic has the depth of knowledge and confidence to write essays in that topic. Can you imagine a graduate in Law from a UK university saying 'I don't feel confident that I can write an essay on gross negligence manslaughter but I can write one in mechanical engineering'. Hilarious!

Thanks @Noted, found the above extract particularly interesting.

@FreelanceWriter
quote 'The topics in which I have lower confidence obviously tend to be subjects that I never studied and in which I never had any interest,' quote. Students note, this dishonest prankster advertises his expert writing service in subjects he has never studied. Red flags everywhere.

quote 'I never took a single Tax course' quote. I know that such grammar is reserved for sloppy, incompetent, writers. Where did you take the tax course? To the movies, to the Empire State Building to the imaginary law school? The word you are looking for is 'studied'. The sort of mistake an ESL hack makes.
