If you had a degree in the topic you were being asked to write about you should have the confidence and ability to write on every aspect of that topic. The fact that you have to humiliate yourself by admitting you're not up to the job says everything about you.

You hold yourself out as being a competent writer in a wide spectre of topics when the truth is that you are incompetent and out of your depth by having to admit you can't take on the work. Why waste students valuable time? We only have your dubious word that you have any qualifications anyway.

@FreelanceWriter
The boaster needs to showcase his/her accomplishments. The sense of inferiority at the heart of constant recitation of their great lifestyle, elite education .... are attempts to convince themselves that they are ok.(counsellingconnection)

Still waiting to hear more details about the degrees you claim to have. An honest writer would not hesitate to divulge such information on this forum or their website or both. Students beware.

UK Essays would not allow a graduate to bid for assignments in every topic they post. Their reasoning is clear. Only a graduate who has studied a subject for at least 3 years has the depth of knowledge to write an assignment in that topic. It stands to reason if you think about it. But if you want a cut and paste hack then by all means stick with a boaster with an inflated sense of his worth but only a smattering or zero knowledge in the majority of topics listed on his website. We all know the sensible option.

Why do I spend so much time correcting garbage written by you in your desperate attempt to justify your self inflated ego.
Only writers qualified in the areas in which they have studied can bid on those projects in reputable UK essay companies. Someone with a degree from a British university in History would not be able to write an essay on Nursing, Engineering or Psychology for obvious reasons.

Reputable UK essay companies would not allow a hack like you to write academic essays for them. So stop spouting lies. The essay company will insist on seeing your qualifications so that they can validate the subject(s) before they will take you on their books.

Someone who claims to have three degrees and refuses to specify which NY City Law School they graduated from is indeed suspicious. You must have been a late starter if you spent 12 years gaining all these (Bachelor) degrees unless some were associate ones. You are not specific about the grades or institutions you studied at. You forensically reply to posts in which you are criticised and we are subjected to a War and Peace explanation when you are wasting your time as your reputation has already been shot down in flames and rightly so. Quite frankly your website should be scrutinised for lack of transparency and possible misrepresentation.

This is a good idea as writers professing to be expert in multi disciplines should not be trusted. Their so-called expertise will be called into question when they have to express their confidence or lack of it to potential clients.

Much better to let a student who wants an essay in history select a writer with a qualification in history. There's a novelty! Even better to select a writer qualified in the same country as the student is studying since they will be familiar with the standard expected.

Degree Essays

"Just got my results back for my 5000 word essay from UK company Degree essays. I have ordered from them a few times before but never really praised the company as i was paying for the service they advertsed and were just doing thier job, i.e if i had ordered a 2.1 i would get a 2.1 on my essay and would receive it on time and the staff were very helpful. But this time i was a little short of money and ordered a 2.2 instead of a 2.1. However the mark i received was a high 2.1 and am very happy. If you want a legitimate UK company order from degree essays who are part of All Answers, however i have not ordered from any other company of AA, Just DE."

Seems to me that LazySkeptic is based in the USA.

I offer no apology for repeating myself. 'A premier New York City law school" is not the name of the institution. Why are you hiding the name of the Law School and your qualification on your amateur website?

@FreelanceWriter

"A premier New York City law school" is not the name of the institution. I studied at Manchester University (rather than a premier red brick university in north west England). Spot the difference.

I think even you would agree that a writer based in New York city is safe from a visit by students based in London or indeed other parts of the USA.

The fact that you have to admit to some students that you are not confident of writing their essay to their desired standard is a red flag. If you stuck to topics in which you have a qualification you would not have to admit your unprofessional ineptitude.

Unfortunately for you the lies and deceptions you have wielded on this forum have been exposesd by myself and others. Students, beware egotistical hacks.

@FreelanceWriter

But you hide full details of your qualifications, phone number and fact that you sub contract work out on website. That's what dishonest writers do too.

@noted
I find myself agreeing with you on several issues but will bear in mind your difficulty in accessing all pages of UK websites for the future. I think it is helpful that you appreciate the high standards expected of the UK student.

I think both of us are intent on protecting students from scam essay companies and freelance writers who profess to be a professional and competent writers in multiple subjects. I have a particular interest in pointing out such writers to UK students for obvious reasons!

@noted
Sorry but just have to put you right on a couople of points.
I have said it elsewhere on this forum so will copy it.

Excerpt from Oxbridge Essay website

Can I use your services in my country?

As an international company, we offer a wide choice of academic services: editing, marking, proofreading, tutoring, application assistance, copy-writing and model-writing services.

Nearly all of these services are permitted universally, including in England.

In June 2022, England introduced regulations which limit English companies from providing some essay-writing services to students at English institutions.

English students CAN continue to order from us if they are:

· Ordering a permitted essay-writing service (e.g., private research)
· An international customer
· A student in Scotland or Wales
· Studying abroad
· Ordering editing, marking, proofreading, tutoring, application assistance, copy-writing or model-writing services.

When ordering essay-writing materials, all English customers are required to confirm that they meet one of the above exemptions. So they can write custom essays for English students as long as they are using it for private research.

----------------------------------

Their website states "© 2022 Icarus Education Ltd. (UAE)" so indicates a middle east presence.
They also state they are a private company Icarus Education Ltd in London.
It looks like they are covering both bases as it were.

I do agree with you that their website is intricate to put it politely. However I have never written for them so students can make up thir own mind after doing their own resarch.

Always better to stick to reputable essay companies or freelance writers who have a UK qualification than those from USA, Brazil, Turkey, India, Nigeria (other countries are available)......!

FWquote "it's irrelevant whether it was exactly 50% or closer to 30%". If you can't see the difference between the two figures it really is a good job you outsource stats!

FWquote "I work alone and I write every project that I accept..." The lies just keep on coming. You have admitted you use other people to write stats and I bet that you are incapable of writing competently on each subject listed of your website without resorting to outsourcing parts.

It just shows that you are not capable of writing on the majority of topics you list on your website. If you are incapable of witing at Masters/Postgraduate level why not just state it on your website. Or as long as the client is what you term an 'easy' (I would say 'gullible') client rather than a 'difficult' one you might take it on. For what it's worth if you are as competent as you claim to be it should be a fairly easy step for you to progress from undergraduate to postgraduate writing and the fact that you have a lower level of confidence is a red flag as to your overall competency.

FWquote "... to disparage me because we're direct competitors". Give it a rest. I no longer write as I have told you numerous times but I am concerned to protect unsuspecting potential clients (usually cash strapped students) from being conned. In particular I want to alert UK students to the wisdom of using a foreign freelance writer with a cavalier attitude to essay writing.

Your aversion to an online order form is because you have to filter assignment requests based on your knowledge or rather lack of it. I doubt you are even aware of the machinations of the UK higher education system let alone differentiate between the different types and grades of "degrees" without resorting to a Google search.

The stench of BS is wafting across the pond for all in the UK to smell.

This admission should ring alarm bells for any potential clients. 'Relative confidence' is not a term I have ever seen a professional academic essay writer use.

There is no statement on your website that you may have to sub contract areas of work. You mention 'stats' on this forum but I doubt that is the only element of a project you may have to outsource. Nobody can have the expertise to write competently in each and every topic listed in your fanciful manner.

As for 'honesty' you have made claims that are obviously false, for example the ratio of UK projects you have written. You clarified the deception when even you realised that it was too far fetched to be credible.

Any transparent essay company or freelance writer worth their salt would provide an online order form.

[quote=FreelanceWriter](quote) or I let them know that I can't take the project if I'm not confident about being able to do it well.

This is yet another instance of you not being honest.You have admitted that you do take work and sub contract parts of it out so that doesn't make you the fount of all knowledge you like to think you are.

The rest of your post comprises your usual indignant ramblings in a desperate attempt to restore your tarnished reputation. I'm pleased you avoided accusing me of being Ellie and/or Blake!

The purpose of this post is to show that you are not sufficiently transparent or competent to publish a website with full costings depending on number of words, qualification, grade and delivery time. This failure prohibits you from displaying an online order form which would enable customers to know exactly what they were paying while providing equality of treatment.

@noted

Their website states:
"While most of our academics are Oxford or Cambridge graduates, we do consider strong applicants from other leading universities, particularly those with a subject specialism not taught at Oxford or Cambridge."

If you want to become a writer you must have:

"A native command of the English language
A Master's degree from a reputable red-brick university, or other leading English language institution
Advanced expertise in your specialist subject"

'Red-brick' refers to prestigeous established universities like Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bristol, Birmingham.

So a student only has to confirm they need an essay-wriitng service for private research which is a permitted exemption.

@noted quote "Unless the writer or company uses a formal order form, it is best not to trust that the deal they are making will be trouble free".

These are wise words indeed and prospective students whould be wary of using any essay company or freelance writer incapable of compiling a proper order form. A quick look at respective websites will elicit those essay companies or freelance writers it is advisable to avoid.

@Lovest0ned

Not sure if you are studying at a UK university or similar education establishment in the UK. If so I suggest it is better if you stick with reputable UK essay companies which offer proofreading and editing services too or a UK based freelance writer offering the services you want. They will be familiar with the type of dissertation you have nearly completed and be aware of the standards and requirements of UK education establishments.

If you are not studying at a UK university then I suggest you are very careful before approaching anyone who is obviously touting for work.

Apologies for the delay but I was glued to the TV yesterday for Queen's funeral.
@noted has done a thorough job in giving you options.

I'm not sure about turnitin as I understand they may keep copies of submitted assignments. Someone on this forum mentioned Plag Tracker which claims it does not retain copies.

However as @noted has indicated my preference woud be to use any popular search engine (Google, Bing) or just use your browser (Chrome in my case). Extract middle sections of each paragraph of the written assignment and copy and paste it into the search engine or browser. The search will mark any sections if the assignment was posted anywhere else before, or, if the assignment has instances of cut and paste. Remember that if one section is highlighted as plagiarism you need to check whether it has been correctly referenced with the source being credited. Several instances of highlighting will be a red flag.

@FreelanceWriter

You need to ask some of the many students purchasing them. The practice where professors hand out free sample assignments is not that prevalent in the UK but may be popular in USA. If you understood the UK higher education system you would appreciate this. Stick to your own country.

@noted
I cannot find any information about Degree Essays let alone a website. I doubt UKEssays would be affiliated to such a dubious organisation as they maintain high standards in UK essay writing business and I have directed clients towards them without any hesitation since my retirement. In fact I wouldn't direct them anywhere else as non UK writers are not up to the grade.

Pre-written essays are helpful in many regards.
Some students use them as a prototype on which to base their own essay. The structure of the essay can be useful in helping students write their own essays. Most students recognise the perils of plagiarism and will take account of that in their attitude towards and use of pre-written essays. Such essays have a place in the repertoire of reputable essay writing companies and I would never discourage students from buying them.

@noted
I think we've been here before so I've taken the trouble to successfully search the site UK Essays using the followng browsers:
Microsoft Edge
Firefox
AGV
Chrome

Please note I am not affiliated with this company in a formal sense.
I have not worked for this company for many years as I branched out on my own until I retired. I would suggest that the vast majority of their clients are within the UK since the company has a good reputation using writers suitably qualified in the topics in which they write.

However I can pass on your concerns to the company. It would be useful if you could list the browsers you are using and which country you live in.

Alternatively you could contact them directly with your concerns: enquiries [@] ukessays.com

When I was writing I only ever accepted payment by bank transfer. The essay was only sent once the client's money was in my bank account.

I wouldn't be so stupid as to give any client my home address.

Most of my clients were careful to remove any information from which I could identify their university.

@almostbradpitt

So sorry to hear about your experience.
I've just had a representative called Larah on Live Chat admit dissertationwritinghelp.uk is based in the UK but she had no idea about any new legislation!

Despite your bad experience, if you need any more essay services please use reputable companies or freelance writers who comply with the recent English legislation. Do not be tempted to use foreign based companies or freelancers in particular, who did not study in England or have not been awarded a qualification from an English university. One company which has a good reputation is uk essays (no blatant ads allowed) but others are available.

@spacemic

Thanks for clarifying that despite FW's endless nauseous claims that anyone who criticises him is the same person going back donkey's year is a pathetic lie and goes to his honesty and credibility.

@FreelanceWriter

Interesting how you persist in name calling in order to detract from the valid points raised in my earlier posts. Most people can see through your tactics.

I cannot recall accusing of you and @noted of being the same person; another of your frequent lies. The damage to your reputation has already been done all by yourself without any help from me. Exaggerating and stating false information do not equal trust. Your attempt to make me out to be a stalker shows your frustration and delusion.

It seems I cannot even retire in peace. Maybe you are too dense to appreciate the new legislation that has been mentioned and fail to understand this is why I have given up writing. If you comprehended the recent change in law you wouldn't need to question my reasons. Your failure to grasp the law is a good example for people studying in the UK to stick to qualified writers who have achieved relevant qualifications in the UK.

I didn't realise that 'retiring' meant I shouldn't be allowed any views in this forum. I am not familiar with Pheelyks or Professor Verb (well before my time) but I might not have had cause to comment on their respective writing ability.

Unfortunately for you I only comment when I see the need to protect students from unreliable second rate essay companies or freelance writers. I have a particular interest in protecting and alerting students studying at UK education establishments but will also do the same for global students where I can.

It's a shame that you are so blinkered by spewing hatred towards anyone who dares to criticise you instead of revising your website after my (free) advice.

@noted
I have an email from Robert of oxbridgeessays.com.
"Oxbridge Essays is not an English company and as such is not bound by English law; thus the Department of Trade has no jurisdiction over our enterprise.

This said, we do not conduct in England any advertising for services prohibited by English law - with which our operation is in full conformity".

The company claims to be part of Icarus Education Ltd (UAE).

@noted @bethlila
As @noted has said this essay company acts as if it is based in the UK. Website server is based in Amsterdam
They are trying to comply with the recent legislation by not stating that they are writing essays for students.
Excerpt from website:
"Dissertation Eden believes in making student independent and empowers them to produce a top quality dissertation on their own with our dissertation help".
They are not one of the major players in the UK essay writing industry but their offer of "freebies" makes me suspicious.

@bethlila
As @noted has said this essay company states it is based in the UK. The company is actually located in West Michigan Avenue, Amsterdam, Holland.

Needless to say I would avoid this company like the plague as they are misrepresenting themselves.

@FreelanceWriter

When someone has to resort to preposterous claims that the same person has been "stalking" him over many years creating successive aliases I think that speaks volumes about them. It screams insecurity on your part that you lash out with pathetic accusations against anyone who dares to criticise you even when their reasoning is justified.

FW quote "Obsessively stalking a competitor and constantly instigating vicious totally unprovoked one-sided attacks full of totally disingenuous purported criticism and outright lies."
Have I hit a nerve? I am not a competitor since I am a retired writer. As usual your comments are inaccurate.

As for "outright lies," that is your domain (50% revised down to about one third of writing for UK market). Is that the correct figure or maybe it should be 25%. By posting lies you dent your credibility. I would like you to point to any outright lies that I have posted against you. Delusions of grandeur can lead to paranoia.

FW quote "Essay companies with many writers don't have to worry about that, because if some of their writers are too busy to take the project, plenty of others might take it off the assignment board." This is an endorsement for clients to favour essay companies over freelance writers since any unforeseen situations can be easily addressed by other writers.

Your excuse for your lack of transparent pricing doesn't stack up.
If you had a decent website clients would complete a contact form, state the essay question in full, number of words, deadline, grade, referencing, required sources and any other relevant information. This would permit a definite price to be given to the client assuming you put the pricing information about qualification, word number, grades, and deadline on the website. Reputable essay writing companies and freelance writers have no problem with being transparent in this way.

My aim, as per the purpose of this forum, is to protect students from freelance writers and essay companies whom I deem unreliable for various reasons. Being British I have a special interest in helping students studying at British universites and am keen to call out writers who can't even produce a website fit for the 21st century.

@noted
Having checked out his website I agree with you 100%.
Writers whether novice or experienced should display a standard pricing structure so clients know the cost before ordering. Haggling over prices is unseemly and unprofessional.

@FreelanceWriter
Rather than giving hope and encouragement to novice writers you trash them. I was not suggesting that experienced writers make way in the crowded marketplace by removing themselves. A novice writer who concentrates on writing essays on topic(s) in which they have an appropriate qualification is to be preferred to someone who brags about writing on topics in which they are completely unqualified. Self promotion at every opportunity smacks of insecurity.

I do wonder why someone who spends so much time stating how great they are feels the need to advertise on a forum rather than relying on their website.

@noted

Since the new English legislation came into force earlier this year it is illegal to write custom written essays or similar for students studying at an English education institution.

The new law does not apply to other services like marking, editing and proofreading.
It does not apply to students who want a custom essay for private research purposes
It does not apply to students outside of England i.e. Scotland and Wales are not affected.
It does not apply to English students studying abroad.

So a big loophole is for a student to state the essay is for private/personal research and then an essay company or freelance writer can write the essay within the law. As long as the student writes that this is the purpose it will be sufficient evidence.

@FreelanceWriter

All writers start out as novices and so why shouldn't a client hire them? Everyone starts out this way and it is churlish and petty to deny them a chance.

Your second para is off topic autobiographical irrelevance to people using this forum.

I would advise clients to use a reputable essay writing company providing qualified writers specialising in the subject(s) relevant to those qualifications(s) or freelance writers who write only on subjects in which they have an appropriate qualification.

I always recommend that a writer qualified overseas should be avoided in favour of a writer qualified in the country where the essay is required. This way clients avoid writers professing to write competently in all topics in "a Jack of all trades master of none" unprofessional manner.

@noted
UKEssays,com is still fully accessible by chrome.
What you say is incorrect and I intend to correct it as you as you state their services are illegal in UK. No they are not because the company is registered in UAE so it is operating outside the UK in a perfectly legal way. I do wish people would check their facts before rubbishing perfectly legitimate operations. This company is a well-respected writer of essays.

Copyright © 2003 - 2022 - UKEssays is a trading name of Business Bliss Consultants FZE, a company registered in United Arab Emirates. Registered office: Creative Tower, Fujairah, PO Box 4422, UAE.

@Ellan
Sorry you have had this bad experience.
For future reference there are plenty of good essay writing companies which you can find on this forum. Just beware anyone who is touting for your business directly.

I will set out the graduate grades for you.
First-Class Honours (First or 1st) (70% and above)
Upper Second-Class Honours (2:1, 2. i) (60-70%)
Lower Second-Class Honours (2:2, 2. ii) (50-60%)
Third-Class Honours (Third or 3rd) (40-50%)

quote "This is an amazing count" (50% claim by FLW).
Off-topic or trolling=ban

@noted
I'm afraid I am sceptical about his 50% claim. Doesn't ring true in my eyes and as others have said on this forum, self promotion is his speciality.

With all due respect I don't think you know the first thing about how the UK education system operates. If such a system as you outline existed in the UK I doubt FLW would make the grade. I am not talking O and A level standard here but rather degree and postgraduate level. UK educational institutions have years of history and tradition and as you say they don't deviate from the way they do things. This helps maintain the high education standards for which the UK is renowned..

Reputable UK essay companies such as ukessays and Ivory Research (both registered overseas to comply with the legislation) stress that writers must have a degree in the subject(s) they want to write about. Some companies require that the degree is a minimum standard of 2 (1). Naturally apart from the qualification, writers need the ability to write in a way which satisfies the education establishment's requirements. Generally speaking a graduate with a 2(1) degree will have the ability to write in the correct format or they would not have been awarded the degree in the first place. But not every graduate wants to be an academic writer. Those who fail to meet the standard required will be dismissed by the essay company.

Reputable UK essay companies and some freelance writers are transparent with their charges, setting out the cost per 1,000 words which varies according to the grade required. They do not state £? per page which may vary between 285 and 300 words as this would be seen as amateurish.

So you will understand why I would always recommend that students studying at a UK education establishment use a writer who has been educated at a UK education establishment and gained an appropriate qualification there.

@FreelanceWriter
"but that I'm confident about writing their project to UK standards and in UK English." Self praise is no praise.

"Sometimes they decide to use me and other times they don't." The discerning ones will prefer a UK educated writer or some will go with a cheap writer but will soon realise that you get what you pay for. Generally speaking USA writers charge less than UK writers.

"just as approximately 50% of my clients are UK students". Is this across all of your vast array of subject areas in which you profess to be an expert.
