I wish I could PM ProfessorVerb so I could try to shake him down on what companies he works for, but the email I attached to this account doesn't go anywhere. Or were these mostly private clients?

Are you talking about mistakes using English? Granted, it's a hard language to learn, and persistent errors plague even native speakers.

Here are some grammar and usage mistakes you should not repeat again. Your punctuation is also very poor, but, then again, so is everyone's.

Before you include yourself under the moniker of "we professionals" (a dubious one even for those well-versed in the language, considering the fact that this was never, and will never be, a respectable profession), you should brush up your English.

I think you're the one who's missing the point-- of this forum.

And what about "my story" doesn't add up to you, Dr. Dick?

Is it the part where I'm not here to turn vulnerable suckers who come seeking advice into clients?

You obviously know better than I do about my email. To tell you the truth, sometimes I get curious, but I don't have the password anymore. I didn't write it down on purpose.

Let's do some math, too. You have made a whopping 500 posts since July 5, 2014, coming here "once a month." I'm not great with numbers, but just using my fingers, that would give you about 1000 posts/year, if you continue to vomit half-baked theories at your current rate.

In six years, I have under 2K posts.

I wouldn't even make it an issue, except that none of your posts are constructive.

You know it's busy season, right? Maybe the competition is too tough for you over there.

Expect to make about 30-50% less than promised, which gets old pretty quickly, unless you live in the developing world. When you ask exactly what needs edited, don't expect a clear answer. Also, don't expect Critical Essays (or whatever its incarnation is next year) to give you any direct line of communication with your clients, so that you can verify complaints. This latter move is actually used by some companies to reduce the potential drag of nightmare customers (quite common in this industry) on busy writers. If used honestly by a company you can trust, this can save time. In Karen's case, you can trust her about as far as you can throw her.

Sure, sure... on with the nth bumbling takeover attempt. Have you found Essaychat yet?

I worked for this company. Get out of the thread, troll.

Says the resident dick-rider.

Keep my SN out of your posts.

I don't think you are familiar with the type. It's not specific to any company-- except those getting business.

Wtg, Prof.

You're missing the point. There are no editors.

So you still have "editors:" good for you. Let me know if any positions open up, since the way I remember it, your "editors" make much more than your writers.

The sad truth about this mad cow is that editing positions never open up, because the "editors" are actually just hungry ghosts in her empty pockets.

Prospective writers: don't make the same mistake I did; don't believe a word she says.

If you are a writer, and the company you are doing work for fines you as a matter of policy, but does not offer commensurate rewards, it is best that you quit that company immediately. They are laughing at you while they steal right out of your cut. You may lose the short-term money, but save your pride and yourself from some long-term frustrations. There are plenty of companies that don't fine at all.

I'm afraid you won't find much of a market for already-written essays in this post-turnitin.com environment.

I care about two things regarding you, and nothing else. I care about your butchery of English, and your lies. As I said, I could care less if you're from Jupiter. Your racial roots mean nothing to me, and furthermore, I happen to like Russia. I strongly suspect that you're Ukrainian, though, but come to think of it, most Ukrainians I've met (although this was before the recent unpleasantness) have considered themselves to be Russian, speak Russian, etc.

My issue is with your lack of English language skills, while you try to set yourself up as a purveyor of Essays in English. Nabokov, RIP, you are not. I don't think you have any editors or colleagues who are native English speakers, either. I think you are BS.

She was right. You're just here trolling her for the umpteenth time under your personal vendetta, and she's right a lot more often than you are. What's your biggest contribution, advice to "write your own papers?" I don't know if WB's right about you, too, but her batting average is a hell of a lot better than yours.

Thanks for keeping whatever place you're so ashamed of's anti-US propaganda down, though. I appreciate it.

Do you have anything to add about Critical Proof?

Critical Proof, now Critical Essays, is now advertising on this forum. Considering that the mods are something like 6/6 at accepting ads from blatant scams, maybe Karen will be back to spam some more, too... or, since anything is possible, she may also answer some questions, just to reinforce the perception that the law of averages isn't against her. I have some questions myself.

The deal on this company is not just about spam. If she comes back, I can't wait to ask Karen about her "editors' fees" structure, which is essentially the exact same thing academia-research.com does with "writer penalties:" whittle down a payment that is average for the industry to virtually nothing, and pocket the rest. Way to go again, mods.

Childish trolling, it would seem-- but no, it is actually on-topic. The same question I asked this speechless dummy here goes for you, too, QS.

Caustic or mock-offended, the level of reticence such a simple question causes astounds me.

And yes, I do a lot more sleuthing here than you do. I enjoy exposing the idiocy of company reps here who claim to have legitimate business addresses in the US, UK, and Australia. Go ahead; stomp your feet and throw garbage. You know nothing about me, and attacking me only exposes, and increases, your own misery.

I think this sheepish mute is also "CypherFromAszhole." It's never going to fly, Ivan. Hit the books; study advanced capitalism, and learn how to treat your workers.

You still haven't answered my question. I've given you my rationale-- I don't care if you're from Jupiter, personally, just that you speak English well, which you don't. If your editors and the rest of your team are native English speakers, why are you here dragging down their marketing and brand image?

What is your role in this proto-organization? And how can I have issues with your origins when you won't tell me what they are? When you say "based in Cali," does that mean you have an office that people can visit, or a payment processing center that is closed to the public?

These are not difficult questions. Try paying less attention to your assumptions about my "issues" and answering one or two of them, if you want anyone to take you seriously.

If I were your potential customer, I would be very off-put by that answer. Of course it matters. You're presenting yourself as a purveyor of essays in English. Your awkward phrasing and deadened, repetitive adjectives remind me of several companies I worked for out of Kiev, so I thought I'd ask. Why does answering make you uncomfortable?

You mean "take their toll," or "take a toll." For a would-be academic and full-time troll, your use of articles in English is pretty poor.

It's also funny, because out here irl, I'm neither little nor sad. And yet you're somehow convinced, without ever having met me, that these things are true. Could it be that you're filling the void with your own inadequacies?

I'm not going to make any assumptions about the state of your finances or physical features here, but judging solely by your posts, you have a screw loose.

PS-- Can't you even answer where you're from? What's the matter?

This isn't the place to get recommendations.

Are you saying iwriteessays.com isn't a scam, or are you just irresponsibly trolling? You seem to know a lot about the US... in a "saw it in a movie" kind of way.

Use of the search function turns up a few threads; they are likely located in Pakistan. Hope your bank protects you.

Where are you from?

This place is supposed to be about warning people where not to go. Although those two sites tend to shrug off bad press and accusations here pretty well, this isn't supposed to be a place for explicit recommendations.

Yeah, apparently she replies to everything except direct questions. Troll, know-it-all... six of one, half-dozen another.

You maybe had a point long ago when WB was acting as a CSR on this forum, but advocating American services is in no way "shilling."

Why do you think so many fraud scam companies claim to have phony US addresses?

It's because the USA has consumer protection laws that are enforceable-- and enforced.

Check out queensheba's other messages on this forum-- most of them are in the "random chat thread."

I don't get why anyone would have a signature claiming that they bust scams, if they're just here to troll.

And if you're going to troll, get your terms right.

The USA doesn't have a monopoly on the global essay biz, but it is a major player... where are you from?

Now you know what to look for.

Poor English in the web-copy-- check. "Only we give you the chance to see how your order will look like before your pay!"

Web-copy no one in country with an advanced legal system would use, due to inherent risks-- check. "We'll Do Your Assignments For You!"

Signs of a system that keeps low-skilled, low-earning writers in fealty-- check. "Ask the write for regular progress reports, request for amendments and only pay when 100% satisfied."

Crappy stock photos-- check.

Their Live Chat is down right now, but I'll be back to post a transcript when I'm able.

I will bet you dollars to doughnuts they're not going to be comfortable with anyone visiting their "US/UK office," though.

I love prospective ESL teachers who can't speak English. It's like, what exactly were you thinking? It boggles the mind.

Precious.

Thanks to fiasco for posting the paper topic. Sane, self-respecting writers will now know to avoid it like the plague.

I hate this kind of customer, too. It's great to see a would-be, frivolous, trifling little tattle-tale publicly exposed, though. Maybe she'll think twice about being such an entitled brat in the future.

Any free or student-accessible version of Turnitin is not the full version. Access to the real Turnitin is very cautiously guarded and handed out to professors only. I have seen papers make it through Turnitin.com and Writecheck student versions, and get red-flagged by the professors-only version.

Turnitin is horrible. They had their day in court, and won, and now we all have to deal with the train-wreck those palm-greasing, thieving b-tards created.

Viktor here will be no better for you than "James" was; don't be the same fool twice.

Do you also give free English lessons?
Why don't you just post in the "Random Chat" thread directly, and save the mods a step?

Okay, enough guessing. Where are you from, then, Cypher? And this "same old integrated control panel;" where is it from?

Isn't this also "Vaddon?" Vaddon? Hello?

It sounds like you're desperate for work in the middle of a massive busy season. You can't even reach the low-hanging fruit, so you may want to consider another profession.

ENL? You should know your prepositions. Nice job with "whom," though. One can tell you really took the time-- and still failed.

Do you know the purpose of this site? WB called you a spammer for a reason-- it's because you're spamming. This isn't a commercial site or a place to offer worthless "free samples."

No, Major, that is wrong. Turnitin.com is a much more extensive database. I have seen it catch material that made it through Writecheck.
