Just found this site. Best Essays ****** me over, terrible essay, terrible service, never go near them again with a barge pole. Take my advice or learn the hard way.

No surprise you got screwed. I tried bestessays and ukessays and both of them let me down. I eventually found a good site no im not going to say what site other than they advertise here but if you want my advice it takes trial and error to find a good one and sadly some of these posts are not very helpful because its full of people screaming at each other! x

Ones eto avoid in my experience:

bestessays.com[DND*]
ukessays.com
*********.com

probably lots of other bad ones too but those are the ones that got me in

(im a customer by the way not a writer)

Yes, ant them, quickly :)

Not scams just bad quality work. theres a difference.

God save *********.com!

For sure it's the only genuinely honest custom essay site around.

In case WB doesn't understand sarcasm... this is sarcasm. It is PITIFULLY obvious that you have a vested interest in posting *********. I have NO IDEA if ********* is fraudulent or not, but your PATHETIC attempts at using CAPITALISATION to get your points across are rather weak. Think about your methods, come back, try again. You're not the only front on this forum, but you're one of the most obvious. Credit us with some intelligence :)

I would think if they're offering to put you on TV, they're genuine.

So what does that make someone who writers students' essay for them?

You're not the only one who's wondered that while briefly skimming the mountains of crap that spew out during the latest WB vs. whoever slanging match.

As a neutral observer, I think Carly was just answering the question, and at least she was honest about her links to that particular site...

which is blatantly a million billion times better than *********, by the way :) la la la *walks down dark alley*

I sometimes wonder what kind of machine WritersBeware is hooked up to...

WB, please take the time to realise I'm capable of forming my own opinions. Cheers

Yes, you did prove that.

In your head.

Fortunately I don't live in your head, so your powers are useless here!

If I'm the disturber, you must be the...

Sorry, that was a bad comeback. I'll try to do better next time...

ARGH! No idea what the problem was. Probably shouldn't put this on an open forum, but what the hell: @gmail.

It will definitely get there :) (if you can be bothered to send it for a third time...)

One of the main things to consider is: how good is the English on their website? No matter how 'flashy' it may be (probably off-the-peg, mind), poor spelling and grammar on the website is a big sign that you're dealing with fraudsters who have no chance of writing a decent essay for you.

Also, are they making unrealistic promises? If they're charging you £10 per page, the writer is probably getting around £5 per page, and no good writer would work for such a low price.

This site is useless in terms of getting actual recommendations. If someone says X-site is great, they're probably the owner of that site. If someone says Y-site is rubbish, they're probably one of that site's competitors.

You'll probably be deluged with private messages - I know I was when I first posted here. I'd suggest ignoring them, taking some time to look at various sites (i.e. not just the first page on Google) and go with your instinct.

The sad truth is, many in this industry are non-English natives (nothing wrong with that) pretending they can write academic English (something very wrong with that). Try to talk to them, that way you can get an inkling for yourself.

It's too late for that. Most IT suites employ certified telepaths. They knew you were going to order an essay before you did!

The honest truth is: they could, but they probably don't.

Like Pheelyks says, they don't have time to monitor every site visited on a campus computer.

The only thing you really have to watch out for is the fingerprint detection system in the mouse, which they can use to verify who was using your account, but they'd need to get a sample of your fingerprints (with your permission) first, which I assume they haven't done? You should be fine, but like Pheelyks said, maybe use a library computer or something next time, just to be sure...

The uni where I work part-time (lecturing, dontcha know?) DOES have the capability to monitor this kind of thing, but doesn't implement it because they're scared of getting sued for invading students' privacy.

Let me post my thoughts:

Two words:

Ball prints.

Three more words:

From your chair.

Summary:

NEVER use a university computer while naked.

Apparently scrotal prints, as they're known in professional circles, are between 30 and 50 times more unique than fingerprints. Like snowflakes.

Fair's fair, he's clearly an idiot, but I think you're misrepresenting him a little there. And anyway, he's an idiot. Oh, wait, I already said that...

As a lecturer, let me say: you have no idea what you're talking about. As is so often the case, you are plain wrong. There is NOTHING to stop a university lecturer with Turnitin access working for an essay writing company. NOTHING. What you're talking about is institutional purchase agreements and licences, which I dare say Turnitin would refuse to grant for custom essay sites. But your central point is dead wrong, and I'm sure anyone with half a brain on here has already sussed you for an egotistical moron. Plus, you can't spell for toffee.

Not ukessays, they're not.

I agree with WB, poor web copy on a writing site is like having maggot-infested meat in the window of a butcher's shop, but a sign saying 'We've got good stuff out back, honest, but I can't show you until you've paid'.

The thing is, webcopy isn't rocket science. Everyone makes mistakes, but I've set up websites before (not writing ones) and I always go through and check for those mistakes, and fix them. It's called professionalism.

Yes, it was **** and they scammed me.

Any others you're wondering if anyone's tried?

Jesus Christ, Chacha, you don't actually charge people for your writing services, do you? If you can do it, maybe I should give it a go!

So there actually IS a moderator?


So true.

Hmm, I'd definitely pay you NOT to write my essay...

I totally believe you, but why would anyone falsely claim to own a bunch of scamming websites? Not an obvious glory trip...

True. I just don't get why anyone would go on a website and brag about owning a site that does kids' homework for them.

I wonder, will anyone else anywhere in the world ever use those words in that order again?

In France we eat spam a lot for lunch :)

What about a professional thief? I think professional just indicates that you make a living from it (or try to)...

How does that help? Genuine question, I mean anyone could make up an order number and claim to have ordered from a site? I could say my order 358 from best essays hasn't arrived, make up some details, most people would believe it hook, line and sinker!!

Wow! That's pretty thorough. Did you actually pay them?

I don't always agree with WB, but I think she's right on this. You wouldn't believe the propaganda surrounding this industry, I think they spend more writing spam than writing essays for schoolkids

Call me naive, but I always thought if a company like essaywriters was consistently accused of fraud, then its payment system (i.e. the company that processes its credit card payments, perhaps incl. its bank accounts etc.) would refuse to do business with them. If they're really Ukrainian and hard to touch legally, would it be more effective to target their (maybe American?) payment processors (did I spell that right, it looks wrong)?

I used to teach part-time at undergrad level (up until June 08) when I lived in England, and the standard of English was quite worrying at times in the essay I'd be marking - grammar, punctuation, spelling, pretty hopeless in some cases. I actually find EFL students in France write better English than my old UK students.

But Fracturegang, anyone who gets paid to write in English should have very good writing skills. The odd mistake here and there is inevitable, but the majority of complaints on this board are from people with poor levels of English complaining about not getting paid for the writing they've done. Without supporting essaywriters.net & co., I can see why...

I didn't say that!
