well, what i have gathered - from reading many posts in this thread and from our investigation of essay mills - is that many people have been screwed over by these sites. what i seek is someone who is willing to share their experience of being scammed - an experience that would seem to represent a larger trend.

but i would certaintly be interested in speaking with a "genuine client" as well...

send me an email:

CNN is looking to speak with a student...

Hello everyone,

I'm sure most of you have seen some of our posts over the past couple of days.

I work for a producer at CNN and we are putting together an investigative piece on essay mills. I have been in contact with a couple of people already but we are looking for more stories, more accounts, and more experiences.

Specifically, we are looking to speak to a student who has used the services of an essay mill to complete an assignment. Since we'd like to eventually speak to someone on camera, logistically, it would be preferable if the student lived in the US (the story is for AMERICAN Morning).

But no matter where you're from, we'd love to get your story. This issue is truly a global one. PLEASE post back and let me know if you would be willing to speak with us.

I can assure you that this is legitimate.

I can be reached by email at: amintern@turner.com. Or you can contact my producer directly by phone at 212-275-7816.

Thanks.

Email amintern@turner if you'd like to share your experience with essay mills.

We are not attempting to vilify anyone or anything.

We are hoping to speak to student so that we can learn about his/her experience, good or bad.

CNN is also interested in speaking with a writer. We've had some contact but we'd love to get more info.

We're not coming at this with any kind of angle; we're not looking to demonize anyone. We're simply looking to hear your story.

Email @turner.com or contact a senior producer for American Morning.

Hello all-

Some of you might have seen my previous posts. I work for CNN and we're putting together a story on essay mills.

We have been able to contact a few writers who work - or have worked - for some of the essay companies but we are still looking for a student who has purchased a paper.

If you are a student and you are willing to share your experience of purchasing a paper with us, good or bad, we would love to speak with you. We can guarantee 100% anonymity.

Email amintern@turner.com if you are interested.

Thanks.
