Ousbourne, I wasn't "attacking" you or your suggestions, but just pointing out some obvious inherent contradictions and inaccuracies. I've admitted to being openly suspicious of your motivation and of your self-identification as a "student" and "customer" because some of the information (such as about how writers are "assigned") to specific projects is not something that a customer would typically know with any degree of confidence, while being perfectly consistent with some of the marketing rhetoric typically advertised by essay companies. Major has made the same observations about your motivation and identity on this forum with a much greater degree of relative certainty.

As far as my business goes, I believe the last project I ever completed for any essay company was in September of 2014, because that's when my business finally became 100% supported by private clientele after hard-earned gradual progress in that direction for approximately five years. I believe that the biggest and best company for which I ever wrote still allows me to maintain an active account because I regularly refer work to them anytime a project comes my way that I'm unable to accept. I also happen to maintain a very good relationship with several other legitimate writers on this forum (including a couple of honest openly-ESL writers) against whom I compete fairly and without disparaging them or engaging in any "guerrilla" tactics. In fact, we often refer clients and projects to one another and we provide one another with emergency backup on occasion.

I have never professed any knowledge or said anything negative about any specific essay companies here other than my truthful and accurate comments about the low quality of some of the writing evident in their public websites and/or in their publicly-available writing samples in threads already discussing those essay companies.


Finally, let me suggest that: (1) If you choose to post on this forum, other members have the right to respond to your posts as long as they don't violate any of the TOS established by the forum, and (2) By referring to another member's opinion or contribution as "retarded," you're the one inviting others to join you at the lowest level of discourse rather than being "dragged" there by anybody else.

You don't have to apologize to me for using other service providers. Major's suspicion is exactly the point I was getting at.


I understand that this is something that many essay companies represent to customers on their websites, but in my experience, it's just untrue. Generally, companies simply post all of their orders with specs, due date, and payout on their online assignment board to which all of their writers have equal access and from which any writer can take any order on a first-come/first-served basis. They don't "employ" writers in the traditional sense that would allow them to "assign" any orders to writers; we're all just independent contractors working from our homes, so it's always up to us which projects we choose to take. That includes projects for which we're specifically requested. That doesn't mean that there aren't some writers who allow themselves to be bullied by their companies into taking certain orders, but most of us just decline any order that we don't want.


I'm thinking it's a pretty safe bet that all three services are owned by the same entity or are closely "affiliated" with one another.

This makes perfect sense. So, why would you have used two more of those three companies you listed if you received such good work from one of them?


Actually, the problem is that a company is only as good as its worst writers unless and until you can be sure that your project is being done by the specific writer of your choice. Even if a company allows you to request a specific writer, no company I know of requires any writer to accept a specific project and I used to decline certain requests for me, quite routinely. In my experience, if that happens, your order is simply posted publicly for all of their writers and made available to whichever writer decides to take it off the board. You can't really do anything about that if you're not happy with the work you receive unless you specify very clearly in your order that you want a refund if your chosen writer is unavailable and/or that you do not agree to accept work from any other writer unless you expressly agree to accept a different writer proposed by the company.

In fact, that's exactly what I used to suggest to my company clients who expressed an interest in having me do their future projects, precisely so that they couldn't get stuck with work produced by some new and inexperienced writer of unproven abilities in the event I was unavailable or chose not to take the project.

I just received two spam emails from this company. The emails were definitely ESL and full of grammar mistakes and awkward word and idiom usage. They might be harvesting emails from here, because they sent me prospective-customer-solicitation emails despite the fact that my email address should make it more than obvious that I'm a writer and not a customer. They also claim that their prices start at $8.00/pg, which pretty much guarantees a garbage product since they're probably paying their writers less than half of that.

First, I really don't understand your adversarial tone. I've detested DJT for decades, going back much further than his relatively recent entry into American politics, although (admittedly) much more so since 2011 when he started his nonsense about Obama's supposed foreign birth. Unless your last name happens to be Trump, you shouldn't be insulted personally by that. Likewise, my comment about amount vs. number wasn't intended (or phrased) as a personal insult to you, either. It happens to be a grammar pet peeve of mine that I've mentioned previously on this forum.

Second, your own cited sources contradict your rhetoric. They suggest that even if some students from the Middle East might now be somewhat less inclined to study in the US because of Trump, many students from Russia, China, and elsewhere might actually be more likely to do so, now.

Third, and most importantly, I don't understand your underlying premise that this industry depends substantially on in-person attendance by international students at US colleges and universities, in the first place. Again, your own cited sources suggest that the most likely result of any reduced enrolment of international students at US academic institutions is that they will simply enroll in UK or European universities, instead.

Already, more than half of my clients attend academic institutions abroad. As you probably know, transactions in this industry are generated remotely online, making it completely irrelevant where clients are actually situated or where they attend school. So, while you seem to have intended your comment that "it probably won't matter much" sarcastically, I'd suggest that it's really quite accurate.

In any case, none of that is intended as a personal insult to you and I'm sorry if I offended you unintentionally.

I'm not really too worried about "alienating" anybody who believes that Trump isn't a foolish lifelong conman and a sociopath who lies pathologically about things that are easily-provable as lies just about anytime his mouth is moving without food in it.

If you really want a serious answer to your question, then no, I don't think anything proposed by that fool will affect this industry because relatively few international students who utilize these services are actually seeking physical entry into this country from "terror-prone" regions of the world. Most of my international clients who do come from the regions at issue are studying abroad.

Yeah. You can now start citing "alternative facts" sourced from the National Inquirer and RT.



This is just a grammar pet peeve of mine, but it's number of students and clients, not amount.

So, for example, you'd refer to the sheer number of lies and the incredible amount of nonsense coming forth daily from the mouth of the foolish conman sociopath we now have as POTUS.

So, non-native speakers of English is now a "race"?
(Can't people of every race be native speakers of English?)

Native-language fluency isn't the same thing as race.

There's also a very understandable reason that a company would choose to reserve orders for native writers. You don't have to look any further than this forum for examples of ESL writers who think their horrible English-writing abilities are good enough to write professionally in English despite being unable to put together even a few simple English sentences in their forum posts without mangling the language. Even most of the very few who might write fairly well in English are still recognizably ESL. No native-speaking customer wants to pay hard-earned money for that, especially, without agreeing to accept work produced by ESL writers. In the last 10 years, I've encountered exactly THREE whose writing in English is passable as native-English writing.

What's so hard to understand about that?

Holding up their IDs in the photos?

Wouldn't their last names be enough for that purpose in most cases?

I don't know. It doesn't really seem like that big a deal to me if it's just for their internal use. Does your sensitivity about this have anything to do with your choice of forum User Name?

First, you should probably ask someone who reads English better than you do to explain what I wrote.

I know absolutely nothing about that company and I didn't "state" anything about where they're located. I simply asked what your concern is about the issue you raised to start this thread topic.

Here's a quick free lesson for you: Whether you quote verbatim or just present those ideas from the source in your own words, you still have to cite it as the source. Let me suggest again that if you don't even understand something that basic about academic writing, you should be reading this forum to learn about these kinds of things and to ask questions instead of arguing about things you obviously know very close to nothing about.


Maybe reading comprehension isn't exactly your strong suit, either. Try to follow along and I'll help you:

The topic of discussion here is the accuracy of plagiarism scanners. I've explained that if you want to use them accurately, you have to delete your Reference page and your quotes and your citations before you do the scan so that the only thing being scanned for plagiarism is the actual writing and not anything that's already understood not to be written originally in your essay.

Nobody's suggesting that you don't need a Reference page or Bibliography. After you scan the copy with all of your quotes, citations, and sources deleted, you delete that copy of your work and you go back to your saved file that (presumably) you were smart enough to save before deleting all that stuff. Then, if it's a project that someone else wrote for you, scan only the Reference page to make sure that particular list of sources is also original in that combination. Nobody's suggesting that you permanently delete the rest of your project and submit only the Bibliography, either.

Understand now?

What's your concern, exactly? I suppose it's one thing if you thought they might be publicly posting your picture with your ID; but it's just for their internal use, right? In this country, they need our Social Security #s and they're the most sensitive personal ID info we have.

I understand that in Europe (and maybe in other countries), working in this industry might be frowned upon by other employers; but in this country, nobody really even cares. The most common reaction from people who find out what I do for a living is they're slightly impressed that anybody can actually write well enough on such a wide range of subjects to make a living at it. I didn't even hide it when I applied for my job writing for the U.S. government, and it was for the office of a federal inspector general. When it came up in my interview, the only questions from them had to do with my versatility as a writer and my experience with high-pressure deadlines and fast turnaround time. It couldn't have bothered them very much, because they hired me and there were over 400 applicants for the position, the vast majority of whom came from much more traditional previous occupations and vocational histories.

The reason the question about that poster's native language was asked is that his or her post contains several very obvious indications that the person speaks English only as a second language, despite designating himself or herself as an American "Freelance Writer."

Your response to that question having been asked was to point out that some people who learn English as a second language speak it better than many Americans.

Nobody doubts that even mediocre ESL writers probably speak and write better English than uneducated rural Americans who can't spell the word beer. Presumably, nobody looking for a professional American writer wants to pay hard-earned money for work produced by either of them.

I have no problem with ESL writers who represent themselves honestly and I have a good professional relationship with several of them on this forum. The three principal writing mentors in my life (father, uncle, and high school English teacher) all happen to have learned English as a second language. So, thank you, but I really don't need you to explain to me that some people who learn English only as a second language can speak and write it very well.

According to your profile, you're currently a student. Why are you arguing with people here who have probably been writing professionally since you were (literally) in diapers. My suggestion to you would be to spend a lot more time here just reading and learning and a lot less time pontificating, especially about professional academic writing.

You, apparently, do not know that the vast majority of 10-pg research papers don't actually need even a single direct quote, let alone "lots" of quotes. Quoting text verbatim is a crutch used by students and very inexperienced writers instead of paraphrasing in your own words and citing appropriately. Students often use quotes mainly to cut down how much they actually have to write, or because they think that all research papers are "supposed" to have "lots" of quotes. Unless there's something very important about the specific wording of the original source, verbatim quotes are usually totally unnecessary. "Lots" of quotes throughout an ordinary 10-pg project would be an obvious indication that the writer doesn't really know what he's doing or doesn't think that he can fill the word-count without them.


Your keyboard has all sorts of neat little buttons on it with letters and symbols on them. Hitting two of them in the right combination allows you to highlight any text you want to delete and then hitting one other button allows you to delete all that text you just highlighted. If you're interested in doing a plagiarism scan in the first place, that's exactly how you get an accurate scan. If you have so many quotes that deleting them to scan your paper is really that difficult, let me suggest that scanning issues might be the least of your problems.

If you want an accurate and useful scan, it would simply be common sense to remove any direct quotes (together with your in-text citations and Reference page) before scanning your work. Obviously, practically any source you cite will already have been used and cited many times by others before you. If you're scanning someone else's work, you'd also want to scan the Reference page separately, just to make sure the whole list of sources hasn't been recycled.

Newsflash: The reason the question was asked is hardly because anybody doesn't already realize this.

Do you think the last post on the previous page of this thread represents "very good" written English (and without several obvious clues that the author isn't a native speaker) by someone whose representation of himself or herself as an American is truthful?

Your post (and the copy on your website) were both very obviously written by someone who speaks English as a second language, so I took a quick look at the essay samples on your website. I'm sorry, but the chances that any of those samples was written by a native speaker of English (let alone someone British) is 0.0%.

I don't know about shady organizations, (and I know nothing about any specific companies being discussed here), but legitimate essay companies probably don't have to pretend that new applicants "failed" their tests just because they don't have a lot of business coming in at the moment. It doesn't really cost them anything to maintain more active writer accounts during slow times and they wouldn't want to have to start scrambling for new writers when business picks up. Chances are if a company indicates that a writer failed their writing test, it means you really failed the test. Let me give you an accurate view of exactly what you can expect if you hope to do this for a living:

Earning a fulltime living as a company writer is certainly possible, but most people probably couldn't do it even if they're very good writers, simply because of what's required to get enough choice assignments to support yourself. I did it for years for one of the largest and best companies in this industry and I know from talking to other writers who signed on with that company later that at least one of their representatives used to use me, in particular, as an example to new (or prospective) writers of how much a writer could earn writing for them. (They didn't refer to me by name, but they described a writer in NYC who had a law degree and who was earning exactly what I'd been earning; and I don't think anybody else on their payroll fit that exact description.)

I have a natural tendency to be a hermit, but it would be very difficult to earn a fulltime living doing this if you're not. I had a computer on 24/7/365 in every room of my apartment (including both bathrooms) and that enabled me to jump on new projects the instant they got posted. For years, no matter what I was doing (literally), I was never more than an arm's reach from a screen and I also had a few tricks that allowed me to grab almost all the high-value (mostly rush) projects before any other writer. the main reason that I built a gym in my apartment was because I just couldn't afford to be away from my screens for several hours at a time just to workout and I definitely wouldn't have been able to start playing hockey again as a fulltime company writer. I wouldn't have been able to serve on the board of directors of my building, either, if I couldn't have been checking my writer's account throughout our meetings. Unless you're prepared to be at home to check your screens instantly and every few minutes 24/7/365 except when you're sleeping, you might be able to supplement your other income writing for companies, but you'll never be able to support yourself without other income. You can also forget about limiting yourself to your college major or even a modest number of different academic disciplines, because there just aren't enough projects to support yourself unless you can handle a very broad range of disciplines and subjects, and well. As a company writer, it's critical to have customers specifically request you as their writer and that's only possible when most of your customers are thrilled with your work.

It takes years to build up a big enough private clientele to become a fulltime freelance academic writer. For years, I did both simultaneously, writing as many freelance projects as possible while also taking on about $50,000 to $70,000 worth of company projects a year (gross). I'd still always have a second screen logged into my company account even anytime I was already working on my other screen and I'd grab more (usually short, rush) projects as soon as they popped up. Practically on a daily basis, I'd suspend work on one project to bang out a company project that got posted only a few hours before it was due. Plenty of times, I'd end up writing two or three short projects that popped up while I was working on a longer project due later that night or the next morning. During the busy seasons, the approximate amount of writing I'd get done in between scanning all the new company projects that were always popping up was less than a full paragraph.

This was all before smartphones, which would, admittedly, make it much easier to be untethered from your laptop; but with such small screens, they could also get you into trouble because it's very easy to grab projects too quickly by accident if you can't read all the details and check the posted sources for projects before committing to write them. Many projects seem desirable on first glance, until you check the full details for them and/or the files that customers upload. At the same time, you might only have a few seconds to preview good projects before pulling the trigger or you'd lose them to other writers. Even apart from the heavy competition to grab enough good projects before the other writers, you also have to be prepared to write projects at any time of day or night, which conflicts with any semblance of a normal life. In my experience, it would be impossible to earn a living that way if you expect to work just 8 hours a day, or to plan your working hours in advance.

It works for me because of my peculiar lifestyle and I definitely prefer earning a living like this than going to an office 5 days a week, but if you hope to earn a fulltime living doing this, you should know what it takes to do it successfully.

I remember ads for custom academic writing in the back of Psychology Today in the late 1970s, too.

Any experienced American writer in this business knows how to write British English and knows how to use whatever referencing system is required.

That might sound sensible to you if you're very new to this business and/or you just dabble in it to supplement your other income, maybe writing a project or two every month or so. It also might make sense to you if it takes you several days of work to write a relatively short project the same way it takes students that much time to write their projects. I'm telling you, as someone who's been doing this fulltime for a living, (probably since you were in high school and maybe grade school), that when you write a high volume of projects, what you're suggesting just isn't practical for at least several specific reasons:

1. I write most projects of roughly 10 pages or less in one sitting, or (at most) in several sittings in the same day. I don't have time to sit down on two different days for a short project waiting for payment for the rest of it after writing "at least the first 250 words" and I don't have time to sit around checking to see whether the client has paid for the rest in between writing that 250 words and finishing some little 5 or 10-pg project that I'd otherwise complete in a few hours from start to finish.

2. For every new client whose first project I actually book, I receive at least 2 project inquiries. I'm way too busy writing booked projects to be able to write "at least the first 250 words" for every new client's project inquiry. If I were to adopt (and advertise or publicize) the policy that you're suggesting, virtually every prospective new client would request a "sample" before deciding to use me. If you'd ever actually done this work fulltime for any length of time, you'd know exactly why nobody but a fledgling writer would ever agree to do this for every prospective client who requests it.

3. When you do this fulltime, you already have to spend a lot of time responding to new inquiries and answering questions from new prospective clients. To add the task of providing free samples for all (or many) of those inquiries would be impossible without cutting into your work time and income.

4.Your suggestion doesn't even provide any safety for the client. Anybody devious enough to create a whole scam website that works to attract customers in the first place is also quite capable of coming up with 250 words on most projects; or they could easily outsource that task to a real writer and pay for a single page to send prospective clients to trick them into paying for the rest of the project to steal their money. Anybody who's actually been writing for a living for any length of time can tell you that he or she has definitely been contacted many times by apparent scammers of exactly this variety. In fact, I've previously described on this forum how I knew someone was trying to do that because he slipped up and forgot he was pretending to be the client in his emails to me (asking for a free sample page or Introduction chapter) or because he accidentally included some of his communications with his (other) intended victim in his emails to me.

5. As Major pointed out, a clever client could easily come up with 4 or 5 different sample requests to try to get as many writers to provide much of a an entire project for free. If you'd ever actually done this for a living, you'd know that sometimes it's the clients (or people pretending to be genuine prospective clients) who try to get something for free from legit writers.

I'm not saying this to insult or belittle you, but it's very obvious to me from your 10 posts here that you haven't ever actually done this kind of work, much less at the volume necessary for a fulltime living, and that you're very new to this, at best . Let me suggest to you that you're just not in any position to be arguing with or proposing your theories about how you imagine this works to anybody who's a bona fide veteran of this kind of work as a fulltime occupation, because you have no real experience doing this for a living. Your profile here is less than a month old and I imagine that represents the approximate amount of time that you've been dabbling in this profession. That's fine; but you should be reading and learning from your much more experienced colleagues here instead of presuming to tell any of us how you imagine this business works.

As I've already tried to explain, someone has to take a small risk initially and that's unavoidable: it's either the client risking payment for a very short project or the writer risking wasting his time and energy writing a free page for clients who might just be testing the waters or sending the same email to several writers. The way for clients to mitigate that risk sensibly is to use resources such as this forum and its search function, as well as other online resources, to research the writers they're contemplating hiring instead of expecting any writer who already does this successfully at a high volume to provide free "samples." I've also already explained (many times) that clients should try out any new writer with a very short project before commissioning a longer project from a stranger. You could even offer to prepay for just 1 or 2 pages if you're that worried, but unless you want your project written by a very inexperienced or very desperate or strictly part-time, fledgling writer, asking for "free samples" is a non-starter and a very quick way to weed out most of the very experienced writers who most clients want for their projects. Frankly, most of us are often too busy to provide a single prepaid page for every new client; but at least that request is more realistic and appropriate because it limits the client's risk to a single paid page and doesn't require busy writers to put in time working (possibly) for free. It also probably eliminates the possibility that the client has sent the same email to several writers and hopes to try to "negotiate" prices or go back and forth with several writers after each writer has already spent time writing a sample page.

I vaguely remember the inquiry and I'm glad you were satisfied with the paper, but I don't know who you are. However, that can't possibly be an accurate account of whatever exchange we had, which you'll see for yourself if you go back and check your emails to and from me. There's no "they"; there's just me; and (ordinarily) there are no "writers" besides me (unless I have an emergency, in which case, I do always have reciprocal emergency-backup arrangements with several other good writers). There's no doubt that I'd have responded that I'm way too busy to provide any "samples" for all the reasons explained previously (above); however, I'd never have said that it was because any "writer" was "popular," simply because I'm a one-man shop. You're either misremembering the exchange or you might be confusing me with a writing company if you had a similar exchange with them before choosing me for your project. Nevertheless, thank you for your business.

This pretty much guarantees that only the most inexperienced and desperate writers will even consider taking on your projects. Most writers who've actually been doing this for a living for many years just don't have time to write "at least 250 words" as a "sample" for every prospective client. We're busy enough just managing our work schedules and responding to incoming inquiries from clients who already understand how this works.

The realistic and practical way to try out a new writer is very simple: Just don't wait until right before your deadline on a long and critically-important project before you start contacting writers. Pay for a very short, non-critical assignment with plenty of time before your deadline. If you're just slightly lucky after making the best use of resources such as this forum's search function, you'll probably find your long-term writer on your very first try. Anytime you purchase a service online, there's always going to be an element of trust-building involved, and yes, some risk on the part of the customer. This is how you mitigate the risk, not by shifting the risk (of wasted time) to the experienced service provider.

If you think about it, It's the exact same way a smart person identifies a trustworthy auto mechanic if you don't know someone who can vouch for his mechanic. You don't take your car to a busy mechanic and ask him to change your oil for free as a "sample" of his work and trustworthiness; and you don't ask a total stranger to overhaul your engine 2 days before you're scheduled to drive that car across the country if it's the first time you're using him, either. After you're satisfied with his work and timeliness on one or two small jobs, you try him for a larger job. An already-busy, experienced professional auto mechanic who has been successfully earning a fulltime living fixing cars for many years doesn't need any new business enough to spend any of his time providing free "samples" of his work to every new prospective customer; same goes for good, experienced freelance academic writers.

Which ones do you consider trustworthy and accurate?

Just out of curiosity, what information did you rely on when you first decided to try the provider you used for these essays?

1. What other companies did you consider?
2. Why does your profile say that you're a "freelance writer" if you're a student looking for an essay provider?
3. Why did you choose an American-flag icon when it's so obvious from your English that you're not American?

Just curious.

I know nothing at all about the company involved. However, if you receive plagiarized content and any company's response is anything but 100% apologetic and outrage at their writer, that should be conclusive evidence that you've been scammed and that this is simply business as usual for the company rather than the fault of one "rogue" or soon-to-be-fired bad writer who somehow slipped through the cracks by violating the strict no-plagiarism policy at a reliable company.

A "free future essay" from the same company is worthless. More importantly, anytime you find yourself in that unfortunate position, you should not agree to or even entertain any kind of "settlement" discussion, because they will use that against you in your chargeback claim. Just copy & paste the part of their website guaranteeing original content and send that to your credit card company or PayPal along with the essay showing the plagiarism highlighted, links to the plagiarized source, and their first email response to you acknowledging that they failed to provide the original content that their website promises. Good luck with this one.

I've actually had prospective clients receive my quote, respond with a lower "counteroffer" (despite the fact that my site clearly explains that I don't negotiate prices at all), and then demand a "referral" to someone cheaper by claiming that I'm the one who "declined" their project by refusing their counteroffer, and then accuse me of reneging on my promise to refer clients to someone else anytime I decline a project.

Every single one of the others listed 101-108 has happened to me within the last two weeks.

101. Don't bother reading the FAQs on my website and ask me half a dozen questions already addressed there very clearly.

102. Read my FAQs after I politely direct you to them in response to your initial inquiry (because it was obvious to me that you hadn't yet read my FAQs), and then ask me to change my business practices that are clearly explained there or ask me to do something for you that directly contradicts what's clearly explained in my FAQs about how I do (and don't) do business.

103a. Send me an email asking me how long I'd "need" for a project and then tell me that "it doesn't matter" or ask me (again) "how much time do you need?" after I respond to your initial inquiry asking you to just tell me your due date or the deadline by which you'd like me provide the project.

103b. Compound the problem and waste even more of my time by finally giving me a deadline and then asking me for the price of a different deadline after I respond with a price instead of just telling me when you'd like to receive it and when you must receive it in your initial inquiry, as requested in my FAQs.

104. Pay me with an e-check that won't even clear by the time I'd have to start working on your project.

105. Tell me that you were referred by another client (or writer) and then totally ignore my question when I ask you who it was. (You don't need any "referral" but if you tell me someone referred you, it helps me to know who it was and it's just annoying, in general, when people ignore direct questions as though I never asked them.)

106. Ask me for a quote on a short or relatively short deadline, burn off half the time available (or more) before you decide to place the order and issue payment, and then express shock and disappointment (or accuse me of "changing" the price) when you find out that the price of a project due 2 days after payment is higher than the price of a project due 6 days after payment.

107a. Resend me all the same files in subsequent emails about the same project so I have to spend time looking through them again to figure out whether there are any new ones or changes to the ones I already downloaded and saved.

107b. Attach a file that contains nothing that's not already in the body of your email.

107c. Email me "how much for this project?" without telling me anything at all about the project or when it's due and expect me to sift through attached files just for that most basic information because you didn't feel like spending 30 seconds to include it in the body of your email.

108. Ask me for a quote and then ask me to recommend someone cheaper after I give you my price. (I'll help you find another writer or refer you to a reputable essay company if I decline the project, not if you decline to have me provide it just because you don't like my price.)

Regardless of how you narrow down the candidate field, you should still start with a relatively small order and a sufficiently long deadline for you to make that deadline in the worst-case scenario. You might have to try more than one, or you could get lucky and find a reliable writer on your very first try.

The writing itself is actually pretty good for ESL, but I'd agree that it wasn't written by a native English speaker, just from the bolded words in the very first sentence.

He's not going to affect the industry directly and actually has no realistic plan for "bringing jobs back," but the inevitable reduction in the strength of the dollar and the tanking of the entire US economy are going to be huge problems.

I don't know anything about Writerbay, but there's a pretty simple solution to your problem: just register a new email for the misspelled one and then add it to your PayPal account. From the company's perspective, they really don't know that you're not trying to collect twice by tricking them into issuing payment to both emails and then waiting to collect Payment #1 until they also issue #2.

Are you insane? Your chosen S/N here intentionally implies that you're a ghostwriter for students, doesn't it? That's as ridiculous as someone with a S/N "BestCocaineDealer" ranting about wanting all drug users locked up.


You have all of this information in the first place because (supposedly) you took their money to help them cheat, and now that you have their money, you want to use their info to ruin their lives because you have a moral problem with them for purchasing what you sold them?


If that's what you believe, why would you take money to help them do what you consider to be so wrong?

Aren't you, yourself, a freelance "writing service"?

Hi. Why do you guys always choose a British flag as your icon when English is so obviously not your native language? At least use an American flag; admittedly, a lot of Americans butcher English as badly as you do, so it might be a little more believable. You could conceivably get 2 or 3 whole posts in before it becomes obvious to anybody that you're misrepresenting your nationality.

I know nothing (good or bad) about this particular company, but if you got your refund, that's obviously a good sign. However, this illustrates one of the reasons that you're sometimes better off using a legitimate freelancer than (even) a legitimate essay company: specifically, at essay companies, your order can be taken by whatever writer chooses to click "Accept Assignment." Sometimes, it's a very experienced writer who has completed many similar projects before; other times, it could be a new writer who just started doing this, who's never completed a similar project before, and who has no idea how to do a literature review.

It also illustrates why you should always try to start with a much smaller order (closer to 5 pages than 25 pages) until you have a chance to review the writer's work and writing style. That's something you should do whether it's a freelancer or a company; and if it's the latter, never assume that the company's other writers are as good as the one whose work you liked, because, very often, it won't be unless you can get the same writer for your project. In that regard, you should always include the words "If my requested writer is unavailable, I want a refund unless I expressly agree to accept a different writer" in your order. That way, your credit card company (or PayPal) will back you up if the company allows any other writer to take your project without your permission.

Thanks for the incorrect punctuation lesson. If you'd like to educate yourself about when you should and shouldn't use a comma before "because," start with this article: dailywritingtips.com/5-calls-for-a-comma-before-%E2%80%9Cbecause%E2%80%9D/


Ironically, the rest of your post demonstrates conclusively that you cannot possibly be British, as claimed in your profile, because you clearly don't know the difference between past perfect/subjunctive and past/future tenses. What you meant to say is that if the middlemen had been satisfied, they would have ordered more.

Let's consider the clues:

1. Falsified information in your profile about being a "student" whose primary language is English.✓
2. Horrible grammar.✓
3. Too dopey to understand from my prior post that I'd never actually provide work to an undisclosed middleman posing as a student.✓
4. Wishful speculative proclamations about how bad my writing is and how unsuccessful my business must be.✓
5. Delusional.✓✓✓

Congratulations. You lasted a whole 8 posts before revealing yourself as the same crew of disgraced fools who used to post here under the shared S/N "Stu4."
