Hi,
I have been working with Muhammed since 1998, when he started his academic writing career. He has just started his own company and prior to that he was working on an individual bases - just hiring some writers by placing ads and work with them. He was paying me from $4-$10 because he was getting paid only $6-$12 from companies like academia-research.com or uvocorp.com -- I think that's fair enough to get paid even if your in need of that. He didn't force any one to work for him.
But the whole scenario has been changed now. He is paying enough to writers now. I got two assignments right now and one is of $8 per page and the other is of $9/page. I think this isn't fair enough to guess someone's credibility of only previous few weeks. And Fae, I thank you for appreciating him but he was paying you when he didn't own the company and you probably understand that better.
