but are also threatening to contact my uni if I do want my refund which I find really underhanded and threatening.

This definitely falls under the classification of blackmail. Never have I heard of such a requirement to get a refund. What bothers me more though, is how the student, at the time, hired the service without inquiring about the refund process should the deal go south. Knowing what the refund process is and keeping ane-copy of it , in case it is needed, should be one of the main hiring considerations for the student. If the refund policy seems shady, ask questions. Make sure you are satisfied with the refund policy before paying out any amount. Doing so will help you avoid the refund problems that normally occur when dealing with 3rd world writing companies.

Have any of you ever spoken directly to the representatives of these companies? I have on more than one occassion, had the opportunity to have a verbal exchange with them, which resulted in my developing a headache as I tried to wade through the very thick Russian accents to make sense of what they wanted to tell me. They actually get more nervous as the discussion progresses, mostly because they begin to falter with the way they form their English sentences, giving away their ESL roots. Their writers, whom I interacted with in the same manner before, also fail to properly form their sentences as the discussion gets more complicated. These are the reasons why I am not surprised that they would be caught stealing blurbs from other sources for their own. They do not have the mettle to create proper copy to sell their services.

Mightystudents.net no longer exists. In this seenano, the surviving company was essaywriters with it's confusing and busy interface. It was the more viable company to keep active. All original business purposes remain intact. The previous company is merely a distant memory now. Perhaps the owners saw no reason to keep the former active. If its business was notpopular with the students,nothing would stop the latter company from folding in the employees. I do not belive that any relationship erasing took place. It was just a business decision. The made by companies with multiple interests all the time. Nothing sinister was going on at all.

Essay Services / Scam MasterPapers.com / Refund? [14]

Masterpapers.com seems to come highly recommended on the trust rating sites. Does this mean that such websites are corrupt? Do they offer positive reviews for sale? Can their rankings actually be trusted ? From what I have seen, the answer to the first 2 questions would be yes and the last question would be no. For all the shine of their user interface, the ones who have been burned in the past by this company know better. If you believe in their writing screening process, then you are nothing but a fool who will be parted from his money soon enough. Don't say we did not try to warn you.

The fact that they say that ; "Our world-class academics are ready to help." tells me the students who found their work helpful do not know the meaning of quality writing. They are unable to differentiate between academics and academicians. The latter is defined as a member of an association or institution for the advancement of arts, sciences, or letters. Whichis what they were trying to imply / refer to. The former is often seen as relating to a college, academy, school, or other educational institution, especially one for higher education. It is a reference to a physical academic location.

While academics in noun form is similar to academicians, it is the latter noun which is more often used as the descriptive tum in academic circles. This simple difference that they failed to spot tells me their writers are problematic and clients will be caught in an endless revision cycle.

All I know about the website is that it is a domain owned currently by GoDaddy.com. It is available to anyone who thinks that it sounds like a cool name that could attract clients to a new business. From the way thename is being advertised, it would appear that there is more to the purchase than just the name of the company. A serious buyer would have to contact GoDaddy to learn more I guess. I am not hawking the sale here. I get nothing for the mention. I am basically, just thinking aloud here. No forum rules violation intended. I do not have any specific purpose in mind with this post.

Do you think that the people who actually care about this forum want to be inundated with 15+ random posts in old threads

Nobody likes it when someone spams the board. However those are the rules that we all have to abide by. The users cannot contact others privately without meeting the menemem requirements. The problem is the rule, not the spamming. Spamming is a direct result of the forum regulations.

Perhaps the mods and admin failed to consider that outcome when drafting the user rules. The users who respond to old threads assume they are following the usage guidelines. Sure, others find it silly and illogical to revive old threads. Did they ever stop to think though that maybe, just maybe, the people that run this forum have a reason for encouraging it that cannot be shared with us? Perhaps the mods can be encouraged to share that purpose publicly?

the company owners are simple people who do not look for publicity in their field of work. They know that the line of business they have chosen tends to be on the questionable and often times, problematic side of the academic service spectrum. They figure that by keeping a low profile and just making sure that their company delivers and their writers are happy, that their business can avoid all types of negative considerations. It seems to be working for them so far. Their simple website and honest pricing scheme are the main reasons why the students come to them for service. In fact, they are oftentimes referred to as an open secret in the academic writing world. Their clients do not complain because there is nothing to complain about.

Essay Services / "UK" essay blog gets suspended [9]

Actually. the new error message is no longer connected to the WordPress server at this time. The host name canot be resolved yet again. So the blog was not archived, it was removed from Wordpress in totality. It has everything to do with the user himself, or, in this case, the company itself, taking the blog. It was a voluntary action on the part of the company and has nothing to do with lawsuits, community guidelines, or what have yous. It is just the company realizing that their blog was doing them more harm than good and adjusting their actions accordingly. By taking down the blog, they limited the other areas of negative comments or publicity that may be aimed at their company. Perhaps they were suspended at the onset, but that is not the main reason the blog is now deleted permanently from its Wordpress connection.

All of these brands are actually in the process of consolidating under the Academia umbrella. Their reputation for having some of the worst writer's in the business is now known on a worldwide level. None of which they have bothered to deny. They cannot vet their writers because they barely have anyon staff. The orders in their system aare also few and far between. Considering their current state of business, I can see why they continue to spam previous clients and those simply making order inquiries. The criminal names attached to the companies are incapable of learning lessons since they somehow manage to keep evading international laws.

There is no such thing as a free term-paper. Not even if it is a model paper in a database. The bastards will always find away to part you with your money and your personal information. What the OP read was not a recommendation by a reputable general reference magazine. It was meant to be a warning to students. The article was misunderstood, to the benefit of the company. It saddens me to read of such experiences, regardless of how much time has passed.These cautionary tales must be kept alive to serve as a lesson to the current students. This is not the only company to have done this. Students should take what lessons they can prom it to help them with their future decision making in relation to the hiring of academic writing services.

Both URL's are now disconnected from the internet. So the warning can be ignored or applied as a cautionary reference for other sites. A disconnection is indicated when the name has just been seperated from the server. This is indicated prior to the domain name being put up for sale again. It is no longer owned by the deceased famous boxer namesake at this point. Whoever decides to buy the name will have a chance to start with a clean slate, free of the previous site and owner's image. The name has been disconnected long enough for students to have forgotten about the previous company already.

Talk about direct writer recruitment. I never heard of launching a company without essential staff onboard before. Normally, the writer's pool is staffed with at least 12 writers before the launch. Then the company allows the SEO to work its magic in recruiting additional writers. These guys did it in reverse. Which is probably why nobody wanted to use their services. No writers on staff means no papers delivered on time. They tanked their oven business in the process. The wrong word of mouth information filtered to the students, and nobody bothered to correct the misinformation. Thatis the more believable reason for the company that never was.

The website currently has an account suspended lock on it. This could be related to several issues including:

- Non-payment of services
- violation of server use guidelines
- Reports of data mining
- User complaints

Such issues are not uncommon among companies that try to access more than the legally allowable user data through electronic means. Host companies tend to suspend accounts under litigation aswell. Something that will not surprise me if it is the main reason this company round itself suspended. When a court order is recieved, the server host shuts down the problem site to protect itself from inclusion in the lawsuit.

Why would anyone willingly post a message that they know has libelous content to begin with? Nobody accidentally commits libel, not in this very litigious era that we live in. Everyone knows libel repercussions are swift in coming through community guidelines, even before the lawsuit is filed. There is no SM form that protects its users from libel suits. This forum is no exception . Think before you type, review before you hit Post. If you feel whatyou wrote maybe seen as libelous, delete it. Do not expect others to protect you from shooting yourself in the foot. Protect yourself from libel. If you do not have anything nice or useful to say, then keep quiet. That is how you protect yourself from libel.

You can get a good good writer only if you put in the time needed to find one. You are the only person who knows what writer qualifications can help you develop a paper to your liking. This entails that you personally take the time to research, interview, and consider both the company and freelancer writers. . We cannot be expected to second guess your needs and, forum rules do not allow us to even point you in the right direction (I really believe that Cite violated a forum rule in the response provided). There are indeed tools available here to make that task easier for you. Use it. That is all you have to do to find a good writer who can provide you with a good paper.

I would not say that one webinar is more important to view than the next. There is something to be learned even from the shortest web series available. It is the content that matters here. You are trying to learn from the exposure of others in the field so, go ahead and do that through various webinars. Sure you can focus on certain topics you feel you need help with, but by doing so, you might accidentally miss out on relevant and unexpected content in the other teaching series. Learning cannot be done on a need to know basis. Specially, not when you are preparing to take, and hopefully pass a certification exam.

It would appear to most users that the OP was trying to do nothing more than libel the company owners. Why do I make this claim? Well, the companies in question are still doing brisk business with international students. some of whom are repeat business clients. So the companies must be doing something right. They still carry a high confidence level among the existing clients. Most of whom have notable positive feedback and leave recommendations for company services.

Think what you will of the company owners, it will not erase the fact that they deliver satisfactory services for the most part. There will always be negative client experiences but, it appears that in this case, it does not really affect the status of the aforementioned companies in the eyes of their patrons.

General Talk / Discussion about subjects [5]

Students should consider how the pandemic has changed the world when considering their subjects. I have seen an emergence of interest among students when it comes to the vaccine debate, projections regarding the eventual endemic and how the pandemic has changed heathcare services worldwide. In the field of Science and technology, Elon Musk has inspired new ideas in relation to Al research, space exploration tech, even electric car improvements or, what comes next after the EV tech is fully developed. When this post was orginally opened, it was based on the topic of interest to the student. An overwhelming academic redirection has taken place since then. More students are now interested in medical research, medical service, and remote activities. I believe these will be the research areas of interest to undergraduate and graduate students for at least a decade.

It certainly looks like the shill was fired at the end of that workday. This was one totally messed up post that wasted a veiled promotional opportunity. The company up obviously lacked guidance from the PR department of the unnamed company. This was certainly a post done blindly. I cannot blame the company up though. Being an obvious ESL member of this forum, she would definitely have a hard time figuring out what character to use for the post. There are no second chances for the paid to post company representatives. This post was obviously a hiring test, and the OP failed to deliver.

Writing Careers / How to get direct clients? [3]

Do not underestimate the power of networking. Social media presence does bring up your profile as a writer but, does not guarantee base client development. Utilizing networking channels such as ES guarantees exposure to other clients. Making friends with other freelancers here often results in useful referrals between contacts. From what I understand, Freelancewriter is one of the pioneer members here who does not mind helping out newbies as long as they are honest, friendly, and willing to learn. Writers should look for such types of mentors who not only can be a great adviser, but can also unselfishly help writers build their client base.

It would appear that Ben Roberts or BR for this thread, did not keep his business under this domain name for too long. Perhaps it had something to do with his cover being blown or, too many ufund requests and negative publicity in relation to this company. Ben Roberts is a well- known academic scam artist. He is a chameleon in the business who moves from one domain name to another faster than he changes his underwear. Which is probably why he was never able to build his wealth like the others who dabble in the same con that he does. He remains in the lower middle-class bracket to this very day.

Last I heard, both companies were having difficulties fulfilling their order commitments because they were being strict about writer credentials in relation to client writing requirements. They were causing themselves more harm than good buy over-vetting their writers per project, and still assigning the wrongor unqualified writers in the process. Withholding writer access to the complete server line up is their undoing. The process prevents potentially qualified writers from accessing the orders. Leaving the writers frustrated with the order assignment process, forcing them to abandon working with the company. Neither company can be relied on, niether is authentic in dealing with clients either.

The previously mentioned company went totally outof business some years ago. The domain name, owned by godaddy.com is now up for sale to anyone who wants to enter the business. The pro of buying a used domain name? Client recall. Most students from the old days of the previous company may tend to recommend the company at present due to positive past experiences. The con? The exact opposite of the pro. The previous company owner's negative image could adversely affect the new owner, since the students will not know about the new management at first. Personally, I would avoid any potential pitfalls and not buy a secondhand domain name for my new and unrelated company's use.

Both urls are now inactive. Anybody that tries to access the sites will receive a message about the host name being reviesolved. I think that it means the domain names are active, but no longer receive server direction. It no longer has a host l P address. So both problem companies were taken offline by the sewer owners. This is a situation that happeres when the server payments are not kept up. Obviously, the servers are not company owned. The company owners were just space renters. Making it easy for them to run off with the clients money when it suited them to do so. Well, they are no loss to the business. In fact, they are 2 less scam companies for students to worry about.

Never payout to a personal writer's account. Freelancers have duly registered single proprietorship businesses that come with a business bank account under the registered company name. This adds to the legitimacy of the person as a business owner.It establishes a professional relationship between the client and the writer.

Company owners also know and understand the importance of having clients pay to a legitimate bank account. It would also help students if they pay through channels that have refund options in case of problems.

Do not be trusting of individuals and companies that have payment guidelines that make you uncomfortable. That is the biggest red flag a student can get during the negotiation process.

Enjoy your fraudulent sites while they're still in Google's index.

The last time I checked, both sites are still appearing as a part of Google search results. One of the two even has a position of honor as a top ranked page since it pays for advertising within the search engine. I guess contacts that can actually help students over at Google turn a blind- eye to the problem websites when these are sites that bring money regularly into their financial system. Google is, afterall, a money-making business. They could care less about the activities the companies that advertise with them engage in. It will probably take a court order for them to give upon listing the paid academic writing company listings.

The company is out of the essay writing business and are now into marketing " free sample papers". They claim to supply plagiarism free papers that students can simply revise, rewrite, or paraphrase to create their own paper. The idea is supposed to be that students will learn to write their own papers based on the sample, which is to be used as a template. While I applaud their intentions, I also adhere to the school of thought that says, "nothing in life ever comes for free". I just can't put my finger on what their scam game is. Personal data collection for third party sale? Academic blackmail ? It is somewhere on their site. I just did not have the patience to look for it. Just don't trust their free service.

Then again, save for FLW, I don't think the other names are still active in the business, hence their absence at this forum. The atmosphere is peaceful and pretty much helpful. The posts are informative and mostly updated. Is this now a friendly place to be? Perhaps.

I see this forum as having more of a live and let live atmosphere these days. Related perhaps to the fact that the cover of the questionable sites and sites having been blown long ago. All that is left now is for the surviving companies and writers to figure out a way to get along. I guess ignoring each other would be one way of doing that?

When faced with an almost impossible deadline of 4 papers in 3 weeks, it would be best to assemble a team of reliable independent writers to complete the work for you. I am not talking about a ragtag team of writers though. The idea is to create a team of writers, led by a head writer. This can be accomplished by approaching say, Freelancewriter, and asking him to put together a writer unit specifically for your purpose. He can act as the team leader, who will supervise the proper completion of your papers, by writers he knows can accomplish the task. Thus, freeing you the attend to other academic requirements. Be prepared to pay for such a premium service though. In the end, such a set-up would be worth the price.

The hold policy should only be good for 2 weeks, which is the standard wait time for a grade. It is within this period that the student passes or fails the homework. That is why the payment is given during the next payment cycle. It is not strange to put a hold on the payment till then. Penalties will be applied to the salary as needed. If penalties are applied due to low quality, the writer is informed before hand, giving him a chance to appeal the penalty before the salary is paid out. Obviously, the writer did not appeal the deductions. He just accepted it, figuring complaining about it in public would get him somewhere.

Every writing company has at least 3 affiliate companies. However, these companies continue to disavow one another regardless of the evidence that clearly proves the relationship of each company. It would be impossible to list the umbrella companies here as their listing changes everyday.

It could be more or less in member depending upon the current status of the network. Company sites are taken down, depending on the need. The faster a tentacle becomes problematic in terms of client relationship, the faster that company is taken down from the internal list.

This is what makes it difficult to apply for jobs with them. You apply at one company and get hired by the other. Don't bother trying to keep the companies straight All the orders and up on the same writer server anyway.

Essay Services / I Got Scammed by Custom Writings. [48]

Fully plagiarized the English level was ridiculously low even I can write better essays!!

When someone says that an essay is fully plagiarized, that does not leave much room for low level English writing. I mean, a fully plagiarized essay means the witter did not write a single word in the presentation. Rather, he just did an inaccurate cut and paste of previously published papers. There is a difference between lousy editing skills ( cut and paste method) and unacceptable English writing ( low-level English). While neither clarifications earns the unskilled writer a pass, it is important for the student to differentiate as the errors are of different basis and degrees. Neither is excusable, but, I believe that lousy editing is more forgivable than lousy writing.

You took a great risk in doing that. I sincerely hope that the professor you used was not from the university you were attending at the time. Even if the professor was from a different university, these teachers tend to move in the same circles. You were very lucky he did not report you to your department dean or to the professor, after taking your money for the paper he wrote for you. Well, maybe he wasn't going to being crooked himself. He is the kind who would obviously take a bribe from a student just to not fail a class. So, what grade did you finally get and were you finally satisfied with the work?

One should consider the educational background of the writer as well. If the ESL writer attended an English speaking school, one that uses English as the medium of education during his educational lifetime, then, there is a possibility that the writer will be able to create papers in the manner of an ENL writer. The upper crust schools oversaeas pride themselves in following the IB format of education, which they believe qualifies them to attend school anywhere in the English speaking realm. This is also one of the qualification that some of them use when applying for online writing jobs. While the educational system may be the same, there is still the manner of writing and speaking to contend with on the ESL side. They have a unique way of structuring their English sentences that give away their actual English background. That is not to say that they are incapable of delivering a good paper because of this difference, it just makes their submissions unique in a way. Some students do not have a problem with this, others do. While there are a few IB educated freelance writers out there, they do not have enough of a number to become the norm for ESL writers.

I believe that all essay writing companies would like to pay their writers on time.They start their businesses with this intention. However, as the business becomes more difficult to run, their personal financial needs begin to take precedence, leading to their writers experiencing salary delays. That is not to say that there are some companies that fully intend on defrauding their writers. So, the payment experience cannot be assured regardless of the company. We are not mind-readers who can tell what the company intends to do with regards to their writer's salaries. So we cannot address this question directly.

No. Academic writers who do not come from the same learning environment as the client cannot accomplish this task. Let us get real here. A UK or Us academic institution for higher learning has for more excellent educational sources than say, a P h D graduate from India. The learning accomplishments alone of the Indian counterpart will be fear lower than that of his English equivalents. The analytical training is night and day in most cases. Thus, disqualifying them from the job. Sure they can try and probably achieve a semblance of Western quality after several rewrites, but the student does not have that kind of time to spare.

I am not sure what the GBP-BACS option is but, there are some companies that still accept bank to bank and Western Union money transfers. Though no longer the norm, the companies accomodate old school money transfer methods upon the request of the writer. Though a bit of an inconvenience, they do this as a favor to the long employed writers of a good track record. I have not heard of a company that will not transfer to a UK bank account. The thing is, they will not cover transfer and conversion fees. Before applying at any company, check their payout method first. Make sure there is a payment channel suitable to your banking needs first.
