Tarangita, you're a tool. stop with the spam already. every thread does not need your personal entreaty to privately recommend your company.

oh please. any writer is essentially an independent contractor who is responsible for running a business. i'm sure that making writers pay $100 for verification looks great on your end since the work is minimal, but it's a very bad business decision from a writer's point of view since no assignment of work is ever guaranteed. you acknowledge that no writer has agreed to pay for verification, which would appear to support my side.


wire transfers cost the writer money if out of the country, as you explained - no writer should have to pay that. paypal will also charge a writer a fee to be paid. do you offer any payment method for your writers that does not require them to pay to receive the money that they earned? is your company's bottom line such that postage and paper checks really aren't an option?


julie and i have disagreed quite a bit on this board. i don't have any strong personal feelings that would immediately lead me to side with her.

however, in this case, I do appreciate her decision to make this issue public. it's the holiday season and your company delayed payment to its writers for weeks. you made no reasonable accomodations to fulfill your responsibility to pay your writers in a timely manner.

but let's talk a bit about your 4 year+ company, since you keep bringing it up. your company is affiliated with the following sites:
a-level-coursework.co.uk, academicanswers.co.uk, degree-essays.com, englishessays.org.uk, essaybay, essaysafe.com, essayspace.co.uk, howtowriteessay.co.uk, law-essays.com, law-essays-uk.com, lawteacher.net, markmyessay.com, oxbridgegraduates.com, oxbridgewriters.com, powerfulwords.co.uk, scanmyessay.com, studentgrand.com, studentjam.com, studentlotto.com, ukdissertations.com, ukessays.com, ukessays.co.uk, ultimatebuy.co.uk, videosite.co.uk (list grabbed from wiki - it's basically all the barclay underwood sites).

in the 4+ years and the multiple essay-writing companies that your company has administered, you can't figure out how to pay your writers on time? you didn't anticipate a problem with paypal? you couldn't arrange payment for your writers temporarily through one of these other sites?

this isn't the first time that payment problems have arisen for your group of companies, is it? i enjoyed reading this thread:

forums.writersweekly.com/viewtopic.php?t=3717

it's about Deveraux and Deloitte, another service owned by the group that owns Essaybay. I especially liked the comment from a former writer who had to wait 3 months to receive a paper check and has since not received any further work. but i'm sure that's just a coincidence, right Jennifer? postage must be pretty expensive in the UK.

seriously people, this is Ukessays company. this guy has bragged to the press about all of the wealth that he has accumulated by owning paper writing companies, including his ferrari etc, but his company can't pay his writers on time? there are two possible options to explain such a situation: incompetence or willful neglect.

what a ridiculous attitude. you claim to run a business but you can't even pay your workers on time. the paypal excuse is pathetic. do paper checks not exist in the UK? if you cared about your writers, you'd do whatever is needed to pay them on time. postage isn't that expensive. if you are really part of a 4 year + company, then you should have figured out by now how to pay people on time without experiencing "paypal difficulties." somehow, i doubt that you had to wait to get paid yourself.

firing julie is just a demonstration that you're working as hard as possible to hide the problems with your business. any writer who pays you 100$ for verificiation is a fool.

reading all these posts about writers not getting paid is just depressing. there are companies who manage to pay on time every week. if you really want to write, work for them and stop supporting these losers.

if the two papers are about the same price, send one to each company and then you can compare the work.

most companies will provide editing/proofreading services. expect to pay roughly half to a third of what you'd pay for completely new writing.

did anyone see their verification procedures scam? apparently, the writers in their bank are either verified or not verified by essaybay. Essaybay tells the clients that if their writers aren't verified, then the information about their qualifications may not be correct, which of course means that smart clients should go for verified writers whenever possible.

on the FAQ for customers, they write:

"Which writer should I choose?

You may receive one or many bids on your project. You don't HAVE to accept any of them. Before accepting a writer you may wish to consider:

QUALIFICATIONS: What qualifications do they have? Have these been verified by our team? Writers can ask us to check their qualifications and we'll confirm if these are accurate or not. If the writer's qualifications have NOT been verified, they may not be accurate."

(essaybay/faq.php)

how does one get verified by essaybay? glad you asked. in order to become a verified writer, you send them a color i.d., a copy of your diploma and 100$ dollars. yeah, that's right, you as the writer have to pay them 100$ to check your credentials.

again, on their FAQ:
"Verified users have a mark next to their username telling prospective buyers that all their details and qualifications have been checked, and are correct. Verification costs $100, and will be processed as quickly as possible."

so... i have to ask the obvious question... has anyone paid yet to become verified?

chris quick question for you.

did you have any other problems with elephant essays that made you look elsewhere? i was just checking out their site and they charge about 21$ per page for graduate work with a 5 day deadline, which seems pretty reasonable. at that price, the writer would expect to make about 11-13$ per page, which is about as low as I'd find reasonable (from a writer's perspective).

happy holidays. i hope payment works out for all of you.

thanks for posting stuff like this to let those of us not working for ew about the problems.

oh please, you are kidding right? this thread is supposedly about customessaymeister, (note the title: has anyone used customessaymeister?) but both you and that idiot nothingbuttruth have tried to use it to attack WB b/c you don't like what she has to say. which means that you the sexist moron both changed the subject of this thread before i did.


i do. probably others do too but my caring is sufficient enough for me to respond. i happen to think his sexism is far more important to discuss and critique than reading another duplicate post about some company supposedly being a fraud.


a question that has been asked a billion times. who cares? this site is essayscam, not essayfraud. the people saying customessaymeister is a fraud aren't all or even mostly affiliated with essayfraud. or have you conveniently forgotten this because it's on a different page?

both men and women read this site. if sexist moron_009 can't curb his language to at least minimize his pathetic views then he should be able to defend them or (preferrably) just not post. sexism is a hell of a lot more important than the 10 billionth unsubstantiated attack against company_0008. if you don't agree, then i suggest that you reexamine your priorities.

depending on the size of your paper, the writer may not have even started on it since the due date is so far off.

most writers check their work email at least once a day. i'd suggest sending another email if you are at all worried.

i've stayed on subject, the subject being that you're a sexist pig. a subject that you reaffirm with every post. it's no surprise that you refer to me as a weasel, since you've made it amply clear that you believe in objectifying women, in judging them upon their appearance and in relegating them to prostitution as their most viable means of employment because of rampant gender discrimination.

i am not affiliated with any of the "big three" groups that you're trying to attack, so your attempt to connect me with them just demonstrates your twisted, pathetic agenda.


always a strong rhetorical move. i doubt it's true but we'll see. i'll enjoy quoting this the next time you come to the forum to stir up nonsense for no reason.

out of curiosity, do you all pay fees for the use of these different electronic transfer/payment methods? I stopped accepting paypal payments for writing work a few months back because the fees charged to use the service added up quickly. using paper checks means waiting a couple of days for payment but for me it meant no fees taken out of my pay.

wow you are dumb... keep boasting about the fact that your nation's women are trying to attract foreign men to get them the hell out of your bassackwards country. why are foreign men going to the Ukraine? Because your women are soliciting them! guess you big strong "real" men can't keep them satisfied. lol.

you claim to have no agenda but you clearly have an axe to grind. so sorry no one is interested in playing your silly game.

if you didn't want to talk about gender, then you shouldn't have brought it up. hiding behind a less than perfect grasp of the english language is disingenuous.

You seem to be a classic example of the pervasive sexist attitude toward women that scholars have documented in the Ukraine since the fall of the Soviet Union. You know, stuff like this:

(From Oksana Yakushko, ambivalent sexism and relationship patterns among women and men in Ukraine, Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, May 2005)

"Recent figures indicated that 75% of the vast unemployed segment of the Ukraine's population are women and that women have not been systematically included in the political structures of the new country (Pavlychko, 1997). During the break up of the Soviet Union working women experienced an increase in "women unfriendly experiences," and they reported high work stress and low job satisfaction (Kauppinen-Toropainen & Gruber, 1993, p. 445). In fact, the failure of the Soviet system has been repeatedly blamed on women's emancipation. Thus, women are told that they must return to their traditional place in the home, the domestic sphere, whereas men should become entrepreneurs, in order for the society to recover economically (Kay, 1997; Marsh, 1996). In a recent study, Levant and colleagues (2003) found that both Russian men and women tended to endorse traditional masculinity ideology and that their gender role beliefs were more traditional than those of their American counterparts.

This "aggressive remasculinization" of former Soviet republics, such as Ukraine and Russia, has resulted in the rise of new attitudes toward women that would be best characterized as profoundly sexist (Attwood, 1996). Ukrainian women today are being locked into the patriarchal images as "Hearth Mother" or "w*0re" (Pavlychko, 1997, p. 233), "Christian virgin" or "pagan goddess" (Rubchak, 1996, p. 315). New emphasis on domestication, nurturance, and reproduction may be succeeding in making women blind to gender stereotypes and causing them to embrace the conservative gender views. This phenomenon can be explained through the system-justification perspective of Jost and Banaji (1994), which explicates how subordinate groups integrate the inferiority ideology promoted by the dominant group in order to maintain a sense of group and personal dignity."

Keep reaffirming that new sexist economic order! No doubt that will help your country recover from its communist history!

/wave

riiiight... b/c if WB self-identified as a man, you _would_ have said "you should be ashamed of yourself not only because you're a man," ??

BS.

You brought WB's gender into it, try to justify your comment in a way that isn't overtly, obviously, ridiculously (insert a few more adverbs just to make sure you get the point) sexist.

any update Westd?

wow, someone has a problem with strong women...

never heard of them.

not getting a response may not always be a bad thing. how long have you been trying? if it's just a couple of hours, that's not a reason to stress necessarily. did you try to call customer support?

however... why did you order from them? less than 8$ / page is a pretty good warning sign and their samples feature atrocious errors in grammar and format.

WestD, even if you don't totally agree with Major's logic, you are probably better off contacting all three as Major suggested because of the time of year. I know a lot of us are seriously booked during busy season and companies do have to turn down requests when they can't find writers. they could all three be great but if only one can meet your demands and deadline, then the choice is sort of easy.

remember too: contacting them doesn't obligate you to use their services. there is really no harm to sending out queries.

awww major... you missed category "E" : cool writers who hang out on the board b/c this is what they do and who try to give realistic assessments of the industry overall.

westD, in reality, it's nearly impossible to find a company with zero negative comments. if you haven't found one, then you probably haven't looked hard enough. but finding one bad comment wouldn't make them a bad company either.

every business is going to make some clients mad, it's inevitable. boards like this one are best for pointing out egregious problems involving a history of bad experiences and fraudulent activities but the recommendations or lack of criticisms won't ever guarantee a good experience. angry lurkers can shred a company's reputation but a positive comment or two doesn't rebuild it and invariably end up suspect. of course, how many businesses can you think of with 100% customer service approval?

i have never worked for EW.net but i wouldn't hold my breath hoping to get paid... some posts you may want to read...

ok, i'm probably the last person to criticize the writing style of others since my lack of proper capitalization rankles some but...

jassrosy i have no idea what you are trying to say lol.

heyas. there are reliable sites for writers seeking work. things are really busy right now so it's probably a good time to apply. i'd suggest going through boards like this one, seeing sites that are not universally panned (and occasionally even praised) and then going to that company's site. nearly all writing companies will have a site devoted to hiring new writers and you can contact them through the site.

good luck.

Maria, your latest post should be deleted too. what blatant advertising. if you really just cared about mike_jay's post, you could send him an email privately instead of pimping out your ridiculous services through a public post.

it's the busiest time of the year. if you have to resort to msgboard marketing tactics, business must be pretty slow.

that's hilarious. i guess we know how essaybay turns a profit.

this can't technically be true if the company always has control in the determination of who gets what money, which is exactly what Jennifer claims will happen in the event of a dispute. the escrow account's "advantages" seem entirely bogus.

major-

you are definitely correct that a company can elect to deny you the use of their credit card for pretty much any reason. in fact, a lot of companies are known to have internal blacklists that id people who have, for one reason or another, po'd the company. so if amex (example) were to close your account it would be unlikely that you could get another amex even years into the future.

but that doesn't impact your credit score. the company doesn't report that info to Transunion, Equifax or Experian and so a dispute wouldn't impact your FICO score or any other credit score calculation used to determine lending. the company would report the closed credit card account, but they don't give a reason for the closure. there isn't anywhere on a credit report that says "card closed b/c of disputes" or any mathematical difference betwen a card closed for that reason or another reason. a closed credit card doesn't look bad on one's report. it doesn't look good either, but that's another subject.

you misunderstand me. by "academic researchers," i was referring to university professors researching the subject of cheating. cheating has been studied by members of the academy for years. these are the people who WANT to stop their students from cheating and have zero reason to lie about their results. these studies were published in professional journals which have standards and review boards that check the content of the work being presented. so your crappy indictment of the evidence is, well, crappy.

i am not a Christian, so your appeal to religion bothers me about zero, but that argument deserves a darwin award. if every person who sells a product that has the potential to be abused risks eternal damnation... well... do you really need me to offer a list of the industries that would be included in your moral condemnation? let's start with the agricultural industry...anyone affiliated with food production (because that could lead to GLUTTONY!)...i cleaned my house today and clearly any researchers who contributed to the cleaning products that i used need to go to hell because some idiots may decide to potentially sniff their products...

i am honest and that is your problem. you think just b/c you were unethical during your involvement in this industry that everyone else is. let me guess... you've already admitted that you worked for a company that condoned cheating... i am willing to bet that your company claimed to only hire American/British writers too... maybe you should go say some "hail mary's" as penance.

it never fails... the people who say everyone in this industry is unethical are the ones who were unethical themselves.

NothingbutTruth, your most recent post proves my point. your condescending attitude is based upon personal conjecture and zero evidence.

what distinguishes me and many American companies from what you did? you say...


your answer should be NO, it's not ok. that is exactly what I and my companies say. that is what legit research companies say.

empirically, academic researchers say that 2-3% of the students who buy from companies use their papers to cheat. academic, peer-reviewed research articles are just a tad more authoritative than your personal opinion, wouldn't you agree?

that number is significantly less than the percentage of students who use books and internet articles to cheat. that means any books or articles that i write are more likely to be plagiarized (by multiple people, mind you) than any custom essay i write. so if anyone's concern is producing copy that may be used by an unscrupulous individual to cheat, then the better option is to write essays for a legit company rather than books and certainly rather than articles that may be posted to an internet site. of course, the best way to stop cheaters is to stop writing and publishing, period. so is that what we should do?

don't believe the statistics i am referencing? do the research for yourself. i've posted links on this forum and you should be able to find them easily enough. but my guess is that you won't do the research because it is easier to believe and perpetuate falsehoods about the industry now that you are out of it rather than actually do the work to learn and analyze the available evidence.

don't cast your unethical behavior on the rest of us. you told students it was ok to cheat but that doesn't mean we all do.

rent is such a waste of resources. it's a buyer's market, go buy something =)

i'd have to agree with WB on the credit score issue. disputing does not decrease your score. i think that theoretically the only way that it might happen would be if you dispute, the credit card company resolved your dispute in a way that still required you to pay and then you continued to refuse to pay...

as an avid credit score watcher, i'd be interested to know major if you think the dispute can harm one's score in some other way.

/agree WB. it's funny that Germany gets mentioned as an example for the proper usage of "Ukraine" vs. "The Ukraine" when Germany continues to use an article to describe "The Ukraine" (Die Ukraine). While "The Ukraine" may no longer be technically proper, it's a relatively new change and one that is still contested by many in English and other languages.

and Nothingbuttruth, your criticism of FrustratedWriter's poor researching skills is hilarious when you try to make stupid American generalizations (bad teeth? seriously? a more accurate claim would be that we care too much about our teeth via whitening and corrective dentistry) and then cap it off with your pompous two percent claim:


That statement shows some incredible research skills... perhaps that is why you are a former writer, eh? or maybe you stopped "writing" since you don't seem to have a problem plagiarizing for customers:


customers should be glad that you are a former writer.

Frustrated: have you decided what to do with your company? i am sorry to hear about the frustrations. i think you are right to think that advertising is a major source of trouble.

i am affiliated with a couple of the larger American companies and we've been extremely busy for weeks. your statement that "we're all hurting" is incorrect. based upon our order volume lately, which has been to the point where we have had to turn away work because of the lack of available writers, it's clear that there is a pretty significant population of individuals who are willing to pay for quality work. my guess would be that you may not be getting to them via the identified advertising problems. i wish you the best of luck in any case.

omg, did you seriously just defend the integrity of a company by explaining that they took a test for you? you aren't capable of studying and passing a basic accounting exam? you think 72 is a good grade?

a recently resurrected thread allows for late response. given the current rash of religious zealotry in the U.S., it's nice to keep the facts clear.


from the Treaty of Tripoli, 1796 international treaty, unanimously passed by the U.S. Senate, enthusiastically supported and ratified by President John Adams:

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion"

this made me laugh out loud.

it's not me criticizing your writing skills, it's your own boss! That's my point! You work for a company that claims to only write American writers and that clearly insults you on its homepage.

follow the link and see for yourself: best essays .com

"They don't use native English speakers!
Nowadays many essay writing companies are either from Asian or African countries or just outsource writers from there. They can pay dirt-cheap wages and thus, they can lower their prices to $9-10 a page or even lower to attract more customers. Don't be fooled! Their papers are written by Filipinos, Pakistanis, Indians, and Nigerian, who can (somewhat) speak English. That's why you should think twice before ordering from the cheapest providers! The quality will be the cheapest too!"

those are the words of the company that you are so foolishly defending.

I don't understand why they refunded your money either.

i decided to look at bestessays.com for the first time and i was really surprised. it's not JUST that they claim to hire only EFL writers but they actively insult ESL writers in order to do so. from bestessays.com:

"They don't use native English speakers!

that's really rude. they could claim to only write EFL writers without insulting ESL writers but they appear to think that's not enough. i checked out a couple of American sites and couldn't find anything remotely close to being as anti-ESL writers on their sites.

eh? i posted 3 academic studies that offered percentages based upon empirical research weeks ago... you know, back when you first promised to send evidence to counter the point...i know you have a tendency to ignore the content of other people's posts but they're still up and shouldn't be that difficult for you to find. i think it's funny that now you claim that the evidence doesn't exist when weeks ago you promised to provide it to counter the studies i cited.


nonresponsive and nonsensical. so i should stop writing books and web content because they may be used by someone to cheat in the oh so distant future? we'd have to ban the written word to prevent all cheaters from acting and even then they would find other ways to cheat, such as by sharing notes in classes and working together on assignments meant to be conducted solo. the solution is better assignments, better detection, and harsher punishments, not demonizing this or any other industry.


you wrote three papers for a fraudulent company and assume that you know all there is to know about this industry's clientele? that is pretty foolhardy. yes, the majority of customers use the products supported by this industry for research and support purposes. tons of folks just use it for editing their pre-written work. to say that all of them cheat, and that all of us writing for them are enabling their cheating, is both insulting and factually inaccurate.

lots of testimonials say otherwise.

palinco you seem sincere but your points of reference are horrible. the other sites that you compare EW to are also known frauds... so saying one fraud is better than other frauds really isn't that powerful.

i do wish you the best of luck. however, when (not if) EW decides to rip you off too, you'll have no one to blame but yourself.
