I tend to disagree with Cite's assumptions. While the Ukranians may have been the first employers of Kenyan writers, they are not the first to scam people. I believe that it was the Kenyans who began the scam game early in the 90's, when postal mail scamming became the norm for Kenyan and Nigerian citizens who were looking to make a quick buck with as little investment on their part as possible. They were one of the earliest scammers in the business. The advent of the internet helped them improve their game by allowing them to create a legitimate persona, through the writing companies, with which to scam people. I know there will be disagreements about who started what and who does it better. I would like to hear other opinions, if there are, from the other members of the forum. What do you think? Did the Ukranians just learn from the Kenyans in this case?

Writing companies and freelancers will automatically consider the level of writing the client needs. This will actually be part of the pricing basis of the paper. However, only a freelancer will actually focus on the writing quality of the client. A freelancer will provide the writing requirement as needed, the writing company will not. The 2 are focused on different things. The company will focus on payment collection only. They will put the order on their server and indicate the need for a masters level writer. That is not an assurance that the client will actually get a masters level writer for his paper though. It just means it was indicated in the order form, which means nothing to the 3rd world writers who are just out to get the job, regardless of whether they qualify to write it or not. It is not like the company will test the writer before assigning the order. That part is pretty much automatic. The writer needs to only click a button to get the order or bid on it. The freelancer? He will consider all aspects of the order before accepting or declining the client. I believe these are the reasons that set apart the 2 types of services. Anybody else agree with me?

There are some instances when this does happen to the new writers of a company. One of these instances is when the company is undergoing a server upgrade or adjustment. It is not something to worry about. It is not an indicator that the company changed their mind about hiring a writer. Rather, it is just part of "housekeeping" as one might term it. The server needs to be cleaned out of junk every so often and retired data needs to be deleted due to server space considerations. While these actions will not affect the regular writers, the new hires may need to wait till their information is properly placed into the system for access. That means, removing old data to make room for new information.

It is the highly technical nature of the crime that appears to make these companies brazen when it comes to scamming the students. It is difficult to file any case against them that will hold up in court. I wish there were a legal loophole that can help the students sue these criminals but there is none. I swear, we need a digital crime court that covers just crimes committed online. The nature of the law must be updated to keep up with modern times. If we have the ICC and International Court of Justice for international crimes, we seriously need one of the international organizations to step up and create an International Internet Court, or something like that.

Make sure that you have clear evidence of the paraphrasing done by the writer. Screenshot the original essay and submit that as evidence once you file your complaint and demand for a refund. If you have not paid for the full paper yet, then do not proceed with the final payment. They definitely betrayed your trust and confidence in this case. The best thing you can do for yourself is file for a full refund and hope you get it as I am sure they have a refund guarantee for the academic papers, specially those that can be proven to be plaigiarized.

As you deal with them, make sure to come back here and start a new thread. Tell us your story. Make sure to indicate the company name and writer identity (if available) to serve as a warning to future students who may wish to procure their services. Making the issue public often results in the company becoming more cooperative towards refunds. Do these simultaneously. That way the company will know you mean business when it comes to your refund demand.

You may also post the original essay and the paraphrased on when you post here to serve as hard evidence of their criminal act. The only way you can deal with them is to try and do damage to their reputation. You can do that only by going public with what happened to you when you used this company.

Unlimited Free Revisions Until You Are Satisfied with your assignment

This is the most obvious red flag about the writing services of a company that I have ever seen. The wording is almost an assurance that the student or professional who hires their services will not be satisfied even after several revisions have been made by the writer. A competent writer will not need to make assurances about revisions because he will get it done right the first time he works on the paper. All he needs to do his job are the accurate instructions and materials from the client. He can work with these, and add his own information if need be, to meet the requirements of the assignment, research paper, or whatever. The guarantee client satisfaction the first time they submit the paper. Any company that immediately assures the student of unlimited revisions until satisfaction is achieved will definitely be asking for a refund. Students can feel free to admit it, haven't you had to request for a refund from writing companies because of the unlimited revision promise? They never deliver right?

Not really, justice has a way of catching up with criminals. They can only get away with their crimes for so long before they finally trip themselves up, allowing the law enforcers to finally catch up with them. When that happens, justice will truly be served. We may just now publicly know about the way the ax finally falls upon the heads of these companies, but it does. Afterall, evidence exists of these companies going offline permanently in some cases. Not because they ran out of money, but because of the international lawsuits filed against them.

Maybe FLW, being a law school graduate, or anybody familiar with international business law can clarify a point for me. I have been wondering about how effective the lawsuits that have been filed are in terms of bringing the company owners to physical court. In the case of online companies with international addresses, does the rule about filing a case where the crime was committed hold true? Does it result in any action on the part of the defendant who, in this case, could be facing a case filed in the UK while the office of the company is supposedly located in Greece (for example)?

It appears that the owners of the company are now finding themselves on the receiving end of a DDS attack. The page is impossible to load. The server is not responding. Since an Err: Hostname not resolved page is coming up when I try to access the site, rather the page keeps trying to load, it is highly possible that someone is trying to take the company down. This could be a personally instigated attack on their own server to prevent the students whom they have fooled into hiring them from getting refunds or, they are truly being taken down by competitors or their own upaid writers who happen to have a knack for the dark web. Whatever is truly happening at the moment is none of our business. However, the turn of events prove to be a blessing for the students who might still stumble upon their active url for potential service consideration.

Students looking for a reliable writer who can actually complete research papers based on the most complicated topics, such as the art of war, need not beyond this post. Freelancewriter is the writer to beat at this forum. He provided this free essay to help students immediately assess his skills as a writer. This paper is definite evidence that he can perform well as a research writer, regardless of the topic. Just imagine what he can do with your paper when he can turn in such a high level of writing for a simple research proposal. This essay is proof positive that you will get more than what you expect out of a paper that he writes for you.

Thanks for explaining that it is possible for that to happen here. I never thought that anybody would actually be taking on multiple identities just to promote a business. I do not see how that is beneficial when all it does is highlight the problems that the student might have if he ever hires a writer from the company. I would not put much stock in the intelligence of the writer if I were to base it on the aforementioned post. The one thing good about having regular exchanges at the forum between writers is that the ill equipped ones tend to easily give themselves away. They cannot really carry on an intelligent conversation nor post intelligent statements within the threads.

The company is misrepresenting their writers as being actual college professors. That is a complete lie ! None of their writers are professors and none of their writers are ENL. As for the photos of their "professors", these are nothing but stock footage that is freely available online. Some are part of copyright free photos and the others, are part of package stock photo purchases. These people do not exist. They are photoshop creations. These are frankephotos that are meant to mislead the potential client. These 2 lies alone should be enough for any student to decide not to hire their services. If they can lie about their professors, what they look like, and who they are, what else can they lie about? What else are they lying about?

Having read through several posts of a similar nature, it appears to me that these people who are paid to post positive reviews for the companies work on a schedule. The company hires them to post only when certain academic breaks are upcoming. The idea being to highlight their company in the forum and quite possibly, allowing them to gain new clients. The problem is that their shills are not very effective because they have no idea what it is they have to do and how to do it. They are given a few lines to repeat throughout the forum in relation to the company. They are allowed to vary their text presentation as long as it is close to the script. The problem is that they are not creative enough and their vocabulary is to limited that they cannot accomplish that task.

@Kivito so you admit to working for the company as even as you try to pose as an observer at this forum? Your post was a really dumb move. We can spot the shills a mile away. Specially when they are so clueless about how to perform their job. I present the above post as evidence of your lack of qualifications for the job you were hired to do.

@Kivito what part of the explanation of the poster did you not understand? He tried to call them, the line was always busy. He tried to reach out via email, no response either. It is their lack of client service that led the OP to this forum. Did you even read the full thread before posting this idiotic question?

Maybe not. There will always be some sort of paper or digital paper trail to follow. That is the trail that could connect the two companies. There is no such thing as covering your tracks these days. In fact, it was a lot simpler to cover tracks when nothing was digitized and documents could pass through a paper shredder. If there is a connection between these two companies, I have no doubt that a skilled researcher would find it. These sorts of companies are not very careful about their registration information. I think they believe that the net will eventually bury the information anyway. Sadly, there is nothing that truly remains deleted on the internet. Their connection will eventually come back to bite them in the b**tt

I believe that he has not been as successful in his new career as he claims. Otherwise, he would not have any reason to still be lurking here, waiting for a chance to pounce on anybody. I mean, anybody who is quite satisfied and extremely successful in his new job will have no reason to come back here to brag, or try to make trouble for any newcomers every so often. His mental state makes me sad. He is not capable of moving on and finding happiness for himself even with all of his supposed material wants being fulfilled. He still needs attention from the people here, but as enemies rather than friends. Sad, it is easy to make friends and keep the peace at this forum if one only strives to always do so.

Nothing has improved with this writing company. The problems remain the same because of their cheap prices and little educated ESL writers. The company is not focused on delivering quality products to the students because the ones that hire them do so without considering how the cheap costs may affect the final product. Just like any item you buy these days, anything below a certain amount should be considered disposable. The same applies to writing quality. The cheap costs entice students to sign up for the service. I can only assume that they know that no professional ENL writer will agree to work for such low CPP rates. The rates are the first red flag that warns the students of ESL writers being employed.

I was not expecting to receive, nor did I need an explanation when I made my comment. Your explanation did come as an appreciated surprise though. I got to know your background better. Anybody who is looking for an honest writer at the forum will also benefit from this explanation as it directly refutes all of the negative allegations made in the chat about you. Something the other writers here cannot claim. I saw that there are 2 new freelancers that joined us here. I doubt they will be successful in gaining clients though. Their language use alone should make anyone looking for a writer ignore them. Thanks for the explanation again.

goodwriters is no longer an active domain name. Well, technically, the domain name is still active, but not connected to a working server at the moment. So I consider the domain name inactive. I mean, what is the use of having a domain name that isn't connected to a server right? It is a company that did not manage to stay active for long. Aside from mismanagement and non-payment of writers, the company was horrible at client support and the writers were never good at keeping the client informed about his paper or responding to queries. All major reasons for clients to only try their service one, never to return again.

I wonder why this company over emphasizes that they have a legal business address in Cyprus. What's the big deal? I take it that they have been in trouble before with regards to their actual location? Perhaps this legal address is not legal at all either? Their customer support also seems to be a problem. They assure you that the get all the emails. It just takes long for them to respond. Not exactly a vote of confidence if you ask me. They also try too hard to convince you that you need their services. More reason to doubt the company. Skip this one and look for a more legitimate company if you can find one.

Redundancies are the go-to reason for these criminal companies to sack their prolific, popular, and high cpp writers. They would rather keep the trash writers on staff since they have a better chance of not paying these writers and keeping the rest of the unrefunded money for themselves. They want the lousy writers to serve their profit plans. That is why the good uniters get the unceremonious boot most of the time. It isn't about quality work, it is about paying low and penalizing whever possible.

Oops. Looks like the jealousy runs deep in this one. Now why would he be trolling the board if he wasn't still interested in what was going on here? Obviously, the forum is not as dead as he thinks it to be. By the way, not everyone who attends law school decides to take the bar exam. Some graduates choose to change their career slant after graduation. That may have been the case here. Whatever the real reason, FLW is under no obligation to explain himself. Much less, is our right to judge his personal decision regarding what career would be most personally rewarding for him. His may be a complex situation that may be misjudged by most, myself included.

@FreelanceWriter in all honesty, I have been monitoring the attacks on you in the chatroom and wondering why you had not defended yourself yet. I was particularly happy when I saw that you finally responded to the unprovoked attacks on you and your business. I just want to assure you that I have nothing to do with those postings and never will have anything to do with the likes of those people. If I have a problem with you, I will take it up with you in this forum, I will not hide behind anonymity. Like I said, we have our problems but it will not affect the appreciation that I have for your work and your integrity as a person. If you will permit me, I would like to join you in EssayChat as a defender. I know you do not need it and you can fight this battle alone. However, as as sign of friendship and unity, I would like to go there and have your back anytime I see someone attack you.

Why do students keep hiring this company? Their website continues to mislead students into thinking that a leading UK newspapers has actually endorsed their services, which cannot be further from the truth. No respectable newspaper will ever endorse a company that deals in questionable academic practices. The newspaper could file a negative article about them, but never a positive one. A newspaper will never agree to be an accomplice in a scam. That is what this company is running, regardless of the polish of their website. They say exactly what the students wish to hear, but their words can never be taken as an assurance of receiving quality work or, receiving the work at all.

The full website is witten in Chinese with only its location details listed in English. This isa niche company that obviously caters to Chinese students only. I do not believe that ES should get involved in problems associated with non-English speaking writing companies. I am of the opinion that we cannot be of much help in this case since the rules that govern the company would have differences with English speaking ones. Though registered in an English speaking country there is no direct admission of having an England based office location. While the scam may have similarities with what we know of, it is best to not get involved in situations where there will be obvious miscommunication between parties.

You know that you are in trouble with a writing company when one of the praises they cite in their blurb is an award they gave themselves. They gave themselves the "best online essay writing service" status based on their simple order process. Funny, I never thought of that recognition as being attached to an order process. Doesn't that normally come with the work quality and services assessment? Well, it is not an official recognition anyway so we can forget about that. I will admit, the order process is simple, but contacting a human being or an AI on the other end for inquiry services is impossible. I guess they do not consider before and after sales services a part of being the "best essay writing service". What fools they are.

Unjust claims aside, the company definitely required too much information of the OP for it to be a mere "security check". If you ask me, all of the copies of the information could result in a chance of identity theft. Like you said, this is an international criminal operation already. They only need the bare minimum to produce authentic looking ID's for anybody willing to pay. What with printer and photo editing technology what it is today, it is important that your government issued information remain with you unless you have to submit it to a recognized entity such as a school credit card company, bank, government agency, or any other institution that is traditionally recognized as always requiring the submission of a valid ID for their transactions. Writing companies do not fall under this category. If any of them ask for these information, cancel the order. Nothing good can come of submitting these data to them as proven by the events that unfolded throughout this post.

The company actually decided to leave the writing business because they found it to be too pressure filled. They believed the students to be whiny and spoiled. The belief of the writers was that the students were being unreasonable in asking for revisions, even as the writers obviously followed the instructions provided. The company was constantly battling between the writers and the students, leaving the support team confused and exhausted. Those that ran the company were nowhere near ready to run a business of this scale being barely adults themselves. They closed shot when the business problems began to take a mental toll on them. The url's no longer connect to their server but the data is still there. Do any of you think it is probable that they are trying to sell the collected information to the highest bidder? Something tells me that is what is going on here.

I believe that the question posed is incorrect. The question should be if the educators consider the papers written as valid evaluations of subject knowledge. Since I know that there are several ways that the professors and teachers actually grade the amount of knowledge that a student has learned in class, I do not believe that they use the essays or research papers as the sole basis of what they have learned in class. The papers are used, if we consider academic writing, as the basis of knowledge evaluation more than anything else. The research papers provide the professor with a sense of what the student has learned in class, as it translates to the way the lessons are reflected in the academic paper.

Not necessarily so. I mean, the ones who provide the addresses do not go beyond just that. Delivering fake information used to fool the students. However, the companies carry majority of the guilt since they are the one who offer services to the students that they have no intention of fulfilling. While both are fraudsters in my opinion, the academic writing company does more of the fraudulent service to the students. Hence they have more guilt in this case. The one actually / directly running the con on the students should not be given less responsibility in this case.

While I am glad that this company is finally offline and unable to inflict any more damage on the students, I cannot help but wonder what the student was thinking when he agreed to the asking price of the company. A decent academic writer who knows his worth will never haggle his asking price. That is set in stone. He knows the value of his skills and will charge heftily for it. A self respecting writer will never lower his price because that demeans his reputation as well. Either the client is willing to pay his price or not. There is no midway point. The first sign of a potentially problematic deal is when the writer is willing to lower his prices just to get the job.

I can believe that the companies indicated are one and the same. While they douse different anchor pages and there is no relation between the other pages as provided, they use the same job opportunity application page. There is absolutely no difference between the 2. A clear indication that the recruitment is for the same company, regardless of how one ended up there. That means that if a writer was hired by one, he will be rejected when he unknowingly applies for the other. It is definitely a scam they are running so that if one company is taken offline , they will remain active since the other is still accessible. Has anybody here tried to apply to both companies in the past? What was it like for you? Were you made to choose which company you want to work for or. where you rejected due to double applications being filed?

Live support for most of these companies have been experiencing problems since they decided to switch from live to a customer assistance board.The idea is to limit actual interaction to reduce the response errors on the side of the company representatives. Their reps tend to be lose cannons in terms of responding in real time, causing the company to go the AI way as an experiment. The problem is that even that part of the site is down there days. I opted to try and get a human being via chat and never got anyone online even as I waited an hour. If they cannot communicate then they have no right to be in this line of business.

Wow ! This domain name is way overpriced for its asking price. Since the company did not really last long enough to overcome any negative impressions it may have created, we can assume that the company name does not have any recall among current and past students. The price does not reflect the type of image, service, and accountability that comes from having a company name that already created an online client base. $3395 should be the asking price for a company that has a positive name recall. Not a company that left the business without anything proven in terms of quality and service. I mean seriously, would anybody here pay that much for what is a seemingly worthless domain name?

Hey, how dare you say that! My apologies as I know I should refer to the OP in past tense, but the post remains currently active so I figure it is ok to do so.

The work that the writer does is but a fraction of the actual academic work a student has to complete during a semester. Writer's work on a portion of studies that do not, will not, and never will comprise the full grading consideration for the sem. Why do some people insist that it is otherwise ?

The Op's lack of knowledge when it comes to how actual grading works betroup his claims of a high level of education and his academic attendance status to the point where one might consider him a high school graduate (or not) only.

The company does not appear in search engines under this name anymore. Perhaps it has gone the way of the dinosaur? While I will agree that the company filings do not have any relevance when it comes to the services provided, it may have had some sort of effect on the existence of the company just the same. Consider that the company had to spend tremendous sums of money in order to constantly change their location , their registration certificates, and other documents, all just to stay in business. Then add the problems they may have had with client satisfaction and refunds. Add everything up and it will appear that staying in this line of business was costing them far more than they were earning. So it is understandable why they would decide to just fold up the business. Who knows, maybe they went into a different line of work afterwards?

I am not sure how long GoDaddy has been trying to sell this domain name at this point but that is what I found out when I tried to connect to the url. The company no longer exists under this name and there are no indications that they have resurfaced under a new company name, so far. Since the domain name reverted to GoDaddy, it is safe to assume that the company owners ran out of money to keep the business going. Based on its actual location, I can understand why. Anyway, students can rest easy. There is no way that the company can still steal from them. As for their writers, maybe they work with other companies, maybe they left the business. I hope the latter is what turns out to be true.

I do not understand the logic of the early participants at this forum. Why were they always coming after anybody who established a new company? It wasn't even friendly competition. It was "destroy at all costs" instead. When I was invited to join this forum, I thought I was going to help promote a good cause. I truely believed that the goal was to professionalize the business by supporting old-timers and newcomers. Posts like these show me how wrong I was in that belief. Rather than tearing other down, we should be aiming to unite everyone towards the goal of setting an international uniting company standard for everyone to follow. By everyone, I mean the legit, non-legit, and freelancers in the business.

It occurred to me while reading this post that the only problem the writer may have is when he publishes the work as his own. The risks involved in that instance will be far different from academic dishonesty. He could risk being blackmailed by the writer or company if he tells them that he intends to publish the work in a journal or periodical. While he should oven the intellectual copyright to the content since he paid for it, that copyright is a bit vague. IHe should make sure that his contract contains some sort of release that allows him to use the material in anyway necessary for him to do so, and that the company and writer cannot come after him in terms of blackmail once the work is published.

That url now redirects to a company called tutoriage.com. Seriously, try typing in the above url and and watch it trigger an automatic redirect to the new url. The company is flashy, user friendly in terms of interface, and does it best to impress upon the visitor that the work they provide is of top-notch quality. The problem, is that by using stock images of their "American writers", they oly prove one thing, they know where to buy the images. The testimonials are too scripted to be believable and oftentimes, do not sound like it could have come from the person represented by the accompanying image. I normally do not take these stock representations as valid. That might just be me though. Does anybody here often get enticed to try out a service based on the writer photo and writer testimonials?
