Essay Services / Scammed by Kenyan thesis writer [5]

@Helpme2022
I find the majority of students are extremely careful not to reveal their university or education establishment so that a writer won't be able to contact them for any reason. Maybe something to consider for the future.

I have just accessed this site with Chrome browser. No issues, no alerts. I have written for this company and can assure students it is legitimate. Better to order an essay on English law from this company than from a USA or other foreign based writer. without a qualification gained at a UK university.

Stop scaremongering just because you don't like the company or my comments about non UK writers writing on English law. The company is legitimate, has been established for years and has a good reputation. If you want an essay on English law why would you hire a writer who graduated from a USA university/Law School? It makes no sense.

Their site has been updated to show their main office is in UAE. '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'.

This is important because it shows they are complying with the new legislation which is only relevant to England and Wales based businesses and bans advertising essay writing services. Therefore they are not affected by such legislation and can legitimately trade. Good news for students wanting essays on law pertaining to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Reputable UK essay companies will not allow you to write on topics in which you don't have a degree. This makes sense, as a qualification in a subject area demonstrates you have some knowledge and understanding of that particular topic. You cannot be competent to write on a topic which you have not studied to a certain level.

If a freelancer is boasting of writing on topics in which he/she has no qualifications you should be wary. Would you take your car for a service to a landscape gardener?

I would never recommend a student orders an essay from a Jack of all trades master of none, freelance writer.

Most degree courses in UK are 3 years long and no self-respecting UK essay company would allow a writer to attempt an essay outside of their sphere of study. Any writer offering to write on subjects they have not studied to degree level and beyond would be highly susceptible to plagiarism. This is why reputable UK essay writing companies would restrict a writer to completing essays in their graduate or postgraduate subjects.

Possible exceptions might exist if someone had wide experience. So for example a nurse who had practised her profession for many years, ideally passing examinations while demonstrating good writing skills might be allowed to write essays on nursing.

Being a good writer, especially in your own opinion, is not sufficient to compensate for a lack of academic studies. .

".........US Law, History, and Psychology. Meanwhile, I've written (literally) thousands of Nursing projects, ~200 UK and Euro Law projects, and hundreds of projects in (each of) Marketing, Education, Communications, Philosophy, and many other project areas; and also dozens of projects in Engineering, Aviation, Zoology, etc. In fact, I just took on a 12K-word dissertation in Dentistry, today".

Students can make up their own mind whether they want to use a writer who announces he can write on just about every topic going. Making unsubstantiated claims is easy and we can all do that on this and other forums.

Your so-called logic misses the point entirely. My analogy is perfectly reasonable.
Writing in an area in which you have no qualification or experience is akin to my reference to a car mechanic and landscape gardener. Your attempt to justify a Jack of all trades and master of none is without merit. The art of writing is important but more crucial is a knowledge and understanding of the topic. If you are not familiar with the subject and not studied it in depth you should not be writing essays.

Your Mercedes versus Toyota analogy is relevant if a writer has a history Degree and chooses to write a history dissertation at Master's level. Although the writer does not have the depth of knowledge required for Master's level, he/she at least has the foundation of relevant knowledge in the subject area. Consider it hill walking at graduate level progressing to mountaineering at Master's level.

Legitimate UK essay companies would rightly restrict you to writing on US Law, History and Psychology.
So students reading this and other posts can decide whether they want to risk using a USA based writer who appears able to write on any topic or a UK one who writes on the topic in which they have a qualification.

So now you have changed your opinion and endorse 'jack of all trades master of none' type writers.

I refer you to a comment you made just last month. Although aimed at a particular essay company clearly you do not rate writers who are not experts in their respective subject matter(s). You call them 'jack of all trades'.

"Nobody that hires this company will get a subject matter expert. They may get a writer who is knowledgeable about the topic, but definitely not an expert. No academic writer will have the kind of profession focused training that an "expert" requires. You can bet on that.

What sort of writer will you get then? A jack of all trades, master of none will be more like it. If you get a competent writer at all from the company. Do not pay for a "subject expert" writer because is just a blatant lie meant to part an unsuspecting student from his money."

Just make sure your chosen freelance writer concentrates on a subject in which he/she is qualified and has an appropriate qualification. If someone claims to write competently on diverse subjects ranging from Economics to Dentistry give them a wide berth.

Your English grammar is incorrect. I would hazard a guess that English is not your first language and you are advertising a specific company in breach of the forum rules. Students have several reputable UK essay writing companies to choose from. Students studying for a UK qualification should beware of using a writer without an appropriate UK qualification to write their essays.

Being registered overseas is not necessarily a red flag. As someone else has posted on another thread, it is now illegal to advertise essay writing services in England and Wales. As a result many reputable UK essay companies have been forced to register overseas in order to legally circumvent the legislation and trade legitimately. So for example ukessays is trading name of a company registered in UAE.

@FreelanceWriter
With very little respect you do spout drivel in an attempt to justify Jack of all trade writers.

I know of a reputable UK essay company which advertises its projects and invites writers to 'bid' for them. A writer with a degree in Politics could express an interest in a Dentistry project but the company would not assign it to that writer. As a writer you can adjust settings so that only projects relevant to your qualifications are visible which saves time trawling through all the projects listed.

The company will assess all bids from writers and assign the project accordingly based on the chosen writer's ratings and his/her suitability for the particular project. It is simply not true to say that a writer can grab any project he chooses. Assignments of projects is not a matter of first come first served basis with reputable UK essay writing companies.

Are you deliberately misunderstanding the point of offshore companies so far as English essay writing companies are concerned. No one is overthinking offshore and neither is it irrelevant.

In order to operate legitimately in England and Wales, essay writing companies must now be based overseas. So offshore company registration is critical in this respect.

Hope you can now grasp this point.

We all know there are disreputable essay writing companies but there are also plenty of reputable ones. The important point to grasp is that a reputable UK essay company will only permit a writer to take on a project within their sphere of expertise which is based on their qualification(s).

"Even legit companies typically employ more bad and totally inexperienced writers than good, highly-experienced writers;..." Where is your evidence for such self-serving baseless claims?

It doesn't matter if they have offices in England or the website is registered in England since the services they claim to offer do not breach the legislation.

Like you I think it is possible to circumvent the legislation which lots of smaller essay companies are doing since they can't afford to set up an offshore entity.

Regarding such English based companies it seems to me that a student could write a terrible essay of very few words and ask a company to proofread and edit it which is permitted under the law. In practice this would result in an almost complete re-write of the work but would be passed off as editing services. This seems like a massive loophole but would require a test case at some stage.

However larger reputable companies, like UKessays.com are part of Bliss Consultants FZE registered in United Arab Emirates so can carry on advertising essay writing services as English law does not apply to their operation.

Regarding competency I would not order an essay from any freelance writer who does not have an appropriate qualification in the relevant subject area. You have to ask why reputable essay writing companies will not allow writers to take on assignments outside the sphere of their qualification(s). It is ridiculous for a writer with a degree in Ancient History to write essays on Dentistry.

Life experience gained over many years in one job might enable that person to write on the subject area relevant to that job. But where a writer professes to be competent to write on just about every topic going is another matter and I would avoid such writers.

Similarly I would not recommend a student studying in the UK to use a writer from Brazil, USA or anywhere else where education standards are lower.

Interesting that you concentrate on the number of pages to calculate costs.

In UK the cost is normally based on the number of words required (plus level and grade). The number of pages is irrelevant. References/bibliography are not part of the word count and provided free of charge. OSCOLA footnotes are often included within the word count although not always.

"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.

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.

"For the benefit of those who claim to be UK writing company attached or otherwise, could you explain what this standard means?"

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%)

What you say is incorrect and I intend to correct it as you as you state their services are illegal in UK.

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.

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.

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.

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.
