it hasn't really changed - just a tax scam. if you go through their records you'll find that the first company was dissolved and then another company stepped in - however, the owner in both cases is thesame ukranian guy

2 weeks is the general rule. we, however, sometimes make exceptions. Provided that the Quality Control Department approves the piece, we will pay writers asap :)

One thing I know is that we never treat our customers that way. Wouldn't want our name appearing on any negative posts. Generally speaking, if we can't do a piece of work we inform customers before they make payment :)

Just my two cents here but I tend to agree with WritersBeware. Before anyone accuses me of being affiliated with any of the websites in question, just want to tell you that I own and operate a company affiliated with none of the mentioned. I just do not see the point in calling a piece of writing which is good, bad. What purpose does that serve? WritersBeware is right.

I used to work with Academia-Research. Do not go anywhere near them. They are nothing short of a scam operation. Just want to clarify that I am not a disgruntled writer but was one of their top rated writers, having earned over 500 reward points from satisfied customers in under one year. In the end, I had enough and resigned. They underpay writers and scam both writers and customers. Stay away from them.

I know have my own company and the 1 lesson I learnt from Academia-Research is never to treat writers as they did and continue to do. I consider writers the backbone of our company and always fairly compensate them. During the low season, we even put top writers on a salary so they wouldn't suffer the market slump :)

Do your homework by carefully researching a custom writing site before you hand them your money.

I like that :) Problem is that students really do believe them

WritersBeware has really exposed you ... good job

An interesting investigation! What people - both students and writers - need to understand is that any website which hides behind a false identity has something to hide. If they are upfront and honest, why don't they just say who they are? From my point of view, the students and writers who affiliate themselves with these websites are `enablers.'

Stay away from premium-papers. They do not check writers' qualifications prior to hiring them, never check for plagiarism and, in general, are incapable of giving you anything other than shoddy work (assuming that they deliver your order)

You have to conduct your own investigation but, as a general rule, you can distinguish the frauds from the honest few by
1) reading through their website ... is it well-written or are there grammar and language issues?
2) call them and listen to the accent on the other end of the line ... if it's foreign, stay away
3) how much do they charge per page? if under 17 or 20, stay away. Writers generally get 30 to 40 percent of what you pay (scammers pay less). would any qualified writer do the work for 5 or 6 dollars?

It is easy to evaluate the websites if you put in the effort :)

Despite the name, I am not affiliated in any way with Oxbridge Essays. They are not honest and their writers are not qualified to write at high school, let alone university, level. Stay away from them ...

hats off to the producer. Masterpapers and all their websites (essaycapital, customessays.co.uk) are nothing short of scammers.

did you ever get therefund?

Considering that Academia-Research writers are often told that their payment for one order or another could not be processed as the company had to refund the customer, I think it is fair to ask this question of all Masterpapers, Capitalessays, ma-dissertation and customessays.co.uk customers: When you request refunds, do you receive them and if so, are they for the full amount paid (as the company tells its writers)?

I joined this board because I mistakenly thought that you guys were doing something constructive here - giving writers and students a forum to express constructive criticism. Goes without saying that I was horribly mistaken ... all you guys do is attack and insult one another and hardly anybody stays on topic. Really sad when one thinks that some of you are supposed to be educated and mature writers.

I launched my own company about a month ago and am currently looking for good and reliable writers. If any of you are interested, please drop me a line and we'll take it from there

So, am I to understand that
1) all what has been written here is on-topic?
2) insulting others constitutes constructive debates?

Why do you assume that I was singling you? If you point out where, in my previous post, I did that, then I owe you an apology. I did not, however. I was addressing the majority and not you.

no, not the same owner. They were partners at one time but fell out a couple of years ago. A-R and EW are separate entities but both are scammers

i like your sense of humour - really do :)

What I am saying is really very simple. A little while ago I launched my own company (all-round academic help centre, including tutoring). I joined this forum because I want to know what it is that writers want (and, of course, customers) so I can provide it. I want to make sure that all our writers are treated fairly and honestly. That's why I joined this forum - to learn from you guys. I think that you'll agree that discussions tend to veer off-topic and what is supposed to be a civilized debate or exchange of ideas often turns into personal attacks ....

Not at all, actually. We have a rather unique system in place and hope we can maintain it.

Were we only providing half a dozen essays, we would be out of business ... Also, we do not just provide essays but an entire range of academic services. Whatever made you jump to that conclusion?

Stu4: I would like Academia-Research to track my IP and take me to court if they can. They are fraudsters and deliberately misrepresent themselves. I have the evidence and it'll stand up in any court. A-R can bring it on if they can. They are fraudsters, scammers and liars ....

that is certainly more than evident :) Accordingly, I follow your posts and read your threads

Another academic research website did secure a site stoppage order against HES which, according to court docs.

Go to Westlaw and check it out. There are countless articles on the case. HES was not able to secure a site stoppage order against research site but it was able to do so. Why argue facts? I am affiliated with neither and never had dealings with either ... one way or another, I really do not care. Am just stating the facts

Are you kidding me! Log onto Westlaw and check it out. There were two cases. By the way ... in another post you told me that you were the only one who engages in constructive discussion. How? by attacking and blowing a billion fuses? Essay for School may be a personal and touchy subject where you are concerned but not for me. Therefore, I will not even bother to discuss this with you ... I have nothing to prove but you obviously do. Facts are facts. From now on pls do not address any of your posts to me ... I simply will not reply. Not only can't I be bothered but you obviously aren't one for rational and objective discussion.

Yes - i do admit to my true identity and the reason why i joined this site - high time you did the same. And if you are Custom Essays for School, you are doing them a disservice with your attitude. I would never want you in my corner.

I have a law degree so your empty threats do not scare me. Pls follow up on them ... take me to court for defamation. Have your ambulance-chasing lawyer email me and I'll put him in touch with my lawyers. Put your money where your mouth is.

I've taken a screen shot of this thread ... in case you decide to delete it.

You are such a waste of time.

Looking forward to hearing from your lawyers because I will not take you up on the golden opportunity you've given me ... what a joke!

Could it be that I'm with Custom Research (whoever they are)? Or maybe I'm involved in this global conspiracy against Essays for School and you?

Give it up (whomever you really are) ... you think that by shouting the loudest and throwing insults, you'll somehow prove yourself right. Maybe ... if we were in a bar room brawl.

This is all so very very sad ... I could weep for you (croc tears, of course)

Will have to log off now ... not because I'm quaking in my boots, as you'd like to think but because I have a life outside of the forum you've transformed into a mud-wrestling ring.

On a more positive note - you are hugely entertaining

good for them ... why should they put up with plagiarists?

No, not the one you mentioned. But i don't think i am allowed to post our company url :(

As far as any sane person can tell, EW did not take the discussion off-topic. You did, WB ... you did so by personalizing the whole issue.

Well, in the absence of a life, I guess this forum can become a person's raison d'etre.

WB - as long as you believe what you say, good for you!

I was one of those people who believed that Helpful Essays was a solid site ... I never had any cause to believe otherwise ... THEN YOU CAME ALONG. Poor School Essays, you are really demolishing their rep with your attitude and the sad thing is that you really do not see that.

But, I must admit, you have provided me with priceless Comic Relief - thanks

Being you must be wonderful. In your mind everyone is a liar ... if they dare disagree with you.

As i said, pls bring it on. Contact the companies and contact your lawyers ... no empty threats pls, I want action. Or do you want me to take action first? I really am more than willing ... you know what, I most probably will. So, have your lawyer go over this thread and have him/her explain exactly where you stand. I really am not the kind to lay low so you have picked on the wrong person here

EW - why do you guys put up with it?

you will find out soon enough

don't bother deleting and editing your orignal posts WB - I have screen shots of them all

No comment here - reply will be official

I wrote for several companies over the past few years (don't anymore as have my own). What I can tell you is that a great many specialize in ripping customers off. They hire writers without checking their qualifications and, in a great majority of cases, ones who barely speak English. The Best Essays for School (at least during my period of association with the company) is not like that. Admin are on the case and customers are the priority. I don't know how much, if at all, it has changed since then but if you really do need that paper, I certainly hope that you get what you paid for. Good luck and looking forward to your update :)

is that letter geniune?! It is absolutely shocking - both in terms of writing and content. Isn't that Paul character worried about his company's reputation? He is actually advising writers he hires on how to plagiarize - that is absolutely horrid.

it seems that stu4 was right. As you said, however, they treated you honestly, told you where you stood and gave you your money back.

Under any and all circumstances, do not copy and paste. Your prof won't even need turnitin to detect similarities. All s/he need do is search for sections (couple of sentences here and there) of your paper through Google and any similarities with previously published texts will show up. Nothing is worth that kind of risk :(

Precisely! I believe the server where my websites are located are in the US but the actual business isn't!


You are completely right. Anyway, since when does nationality determine quality of service? I am British but, by no means, is that a guarantee of anything (at least to my thinking).

EW - you really have a way with words :)

I am not judging anything here as I really do not know your situation. All I can say is that if these papers were prepared for clients and you were paid for them, it is not right to sell them. As I said, I do not know your situation or whether you were previously paid for them or not. Supposing you are a student, however, there are a lot of essaybanks to which you can upload these papers and when they are purchased the website gives you 50% of the sale price. Do a Google search ... you'll find plenty of essaybanks

then i advise that you pick out sentences here and there and search for them on Google. If any matches appear, pls paraphrase them. That way you will avoid possible problems.

Do that with the essay you bought (search for it on Google). After it comes up clean, make sure that your entire essay reads consistently and that it is not evident that two people, not one, wrote it :)

1) Plagiarism check and if that comes up clean:
2) writing style - does it match your own?
3) content - is it far more advanced than what is expected of you
4) familiarity - are you familiar with the contents and can argue them? Many students submit papers which they have not thoroughly read ... don't make that mistake :)
