Fraudulent dimwits always try to justify their fraudulent practices by claiming that their customers deserve to be defrauded because "they all cheat the system."

WRONG

The only hard evidence exists, in black and white, in the docket of the "Boston University v. The Paper Store (et al)" case of 1995-7. BU's attorneys obtained from the term paper sites, via subpoena, records of all students from BU that had bought papers in an attempt to establish direct damages sustained by the university. Of the eight (8) BU students found to have purchased papers, seven (7) of them referenced the sample papers properly. This was BU's own evidence that the victorious defendants ultimately used against BU!

Now, unless you cowardly dimwits have equally legitimate, relevant, trustworthy evidence, I invite you to shut your traps.(WB)

Before I systematically and emphatically dismantle WB's hollow and biased convictions that American students buy essays for reasons OTHER THAN cheating, I find it prudent to introduce myself:

I am an Ethiopian lecturer, 31 and teaching economics at a private university in Nairobi. I also teach two other UK universities via teleconferencing. The sole reason for joining this site is to consistently emphasize the need for students to be undertaking their own work instead of relying on 'genuine' companies or imposters.

When I was undertaking my graduate degree, I was horrified to discover that in a class of 37 students, at least half of the student used to buy essays from the numerous essay mills around and turned them in for grading.

The class had about 11 American students and 8 British students.

Turning to WB's deeply flawed argument, I want to state the following:

a) The 'evidence' she presents is based on flawed and 'outdated' data, much like using 1970s statistics on TV ownership in US to explain 2012 TV ownership patterns!

b) WB's skewed interpretation of the Boston University case is clearly based on insignificant data sample and, consequently, all her interpretations are rendered void and statistically misleading.

c) Her lack of understanding of the extent and magnitude of the lies and pretensions that drive the essay 'industry' is frightening; it defeats logic as to why American students would spend millions of dollars every year on essays and term papers only to use them as a 'guide' for writing their own essays. In fact if , for the sake of the argument, one assumes that the students indeed use the essays as guides, then one would be forced to conclude that the students are too lazy and lack the expertise needed to conduct academic research- a mass 'illness' that will soon flood the American corporate sector with disastrous consequences.

As a lecturer, I always go an extra mile in teaching students how to conduct their own research . If students can be equipped with the appropriate techniques, all essay companies would cease to exist. It'd be the best thing to happen across all academic institutions in the world.

Queen Sheba

If I were a student:

a)I'd invest my time to exhaustively learn the skills necessary to undertake my research.
b)I'd utilize my time well(No meaningless partying).
c)I'd keenly listen to the expectations of my tutors.
d)I'd realize that cheating is both immoral and short lived.

In short:

a)I wouldn't trust qualified albeit arrogant writers like pheelyks with my assignments.
b)I wouldn't trust sadist and deranged essay 'high priests ' like Writersbeware to provide me with 'advice' as to who is genuine or not.

c)I wouldn't trust lamentably unqualified, unskilled, unethical and anserine 'writers' like Meokhan with my assignment(I'd dread the thought of having my assignment done in a Pakistan dungeon that experiences power blackout every three minutes).

d)I wouldn't want to live my life with disturbing feelings of guilt at having cheated the system.

I'd do my assignments and live in peace.

i love the way pheelyks and his gang try to vainly justify their 'careers' by claiming that they are a) honest about their location and b) honest about their 'qualifications'. The greatest deception in the essay industry lies at the very core of the purpose behind helping students with their assignments-----helping them to defeat the system.

It doesn't require an Albert Einstein to discover that most writers are willing accessories in helping perpetuate the deceptions that are the hallmark of modern education systems. Students buy essays to defeat the system even though WB and her conniving stooge pheelyks would want everyone to believe otherwise.

That a person like pheelyks would rather sit in his dungeon and perpetuate a cyclic fraud is deafening especially keeping in mind that if he is qualified, it wouldn't be hard for him to get a real career that is shaped by ethical principles.

I long for the day when US corporate scene will be littered with semi illiterate managers who will play a crucial role in totally destroying the US economic system.

Members, there are 2 resident writers in this forum who needs an objective comparison. The reason for this is obvious: both appear to be friendly to each other and, of course, they claim to represent the best writing talent from our old US of nonsense.

Lets go:

Pheelyks: Sounds quite arrogant and unsure about himself
Freelancewriter: sounds ok and one of the more rational writers around

Pheelyks: He is always battling genuine complaints from scammed students-hence his ever presence in this forum. Something about his quality definitely needs improvement
Freelancewriter: I am yet to hear a single complaint against him

Pheelyks: He lacks a sense of confidence and independence and has to constantly seek WB's approval. Sometimes he appears a bit juvenile.
Freelancewriter: Very very independent and sounds like a true gentleman, even when offline

Pheelyks: He is constantly at war with ESL writers which only solidifies our perception that he is very insecure about his writing abilities and hence has to attack ESL writers to feel good. Poor writing skills((out of a ten point index, I'd give him 2.5)...just check some of the 'quality' essays he's posted online

Freelancewriter: Good writing skills(out of a ten point index, I'd give him 8.5)

Pheelyks: It has been consistently reported that he'd have no qualms reporting a student to his university.
Freelancewriter: I never heard of such a complaint.

Pheelyks: Most likely, he suffers from severe inferiority complex due to his constant assertion of his skills and his 'earnings' . You know, wimps always want to sound strong.

Freelancewriter: Sounds quite contented.

No price for guessing who I would use if I were a student.....

Whenever I talk about US and its fabled opportunities, I do so with lots of authority since I spent 3 years there(between age 9-11) and, once again, I did 3 years in college when I was undertaking my 3rd degree in Texas.

What baffled me during my study is the sheer number of opportunities that exist in the country. From my extensive travel across the country, I discovered that there are millions of unexploited opportunities that can literally make one a $ millionaire with reasonable effort. For example, in my college years, we formed a business partnership with a US citizen and at one time, I was making close to $10,000 net per month. Needless to say, I lived like a queen and carted away substantial amount of my income to my home country where I invested in hotel business. Today, I know of a guy(a former classmate) in Spain who operates 4 websites that offer software service to US citizens INSIDE US. Last time I talked to him, he was raking > $25,000 per month(net). He puts about 15 hours per week and pays US taxes as he has a day job.

What then surprises and irritates me is this: why would an educated person that RESIDES in US opt to help students cheat the system when there are so many opportunities that one can exploit there?. Don't tell me ' I love writing ....blah, blah .................. Yeah, if you have EXCEPTIONAL writing skills, you would make a fortune without resulting to unethical business so if you plan to fix me on this, st--u.

I can only conclude the following:

a) if you are a US national who engages in 'academic' writing, you are incompetent in the first place to be a writer; otherwise you would rake much much much more as a, say, copywriter or something.

b) if you are a US national who engages in helping students cheat, then something must be wrong with your personal character- either, you lack the skills and the personality necessary to steer you up the corporate ladder or you are simply a wimp who has to hide behind a screen to earn a living. There are no two ways about it.

You may ask me: what about the ESL writers?........without wanting to sound like I am defending them, I assume these are young men and women who lack opportunities in their home countries and have to resort to any avenue to earn a living. BUT I MUST quickly state that I don't endorse what they engage in.

I HATE any American who CANNOT see the extent and magnitude of the opportunities in his/her country. But I don't blame them either; the US media has fed these people with garbage like the color of Angelina Jolie's underwear and at the end, you have lazy and docile Americans who have sold their countries(to the Chinese and co) for a pittance. It is not surprising that the Americans who patronize this forum can only boast of their linguistic 'skills' but no any technical knowledge. They can only excel in level 1 arts.

No wonder, MADE IN CHINA is more common in New York than even in China.
Good points to think about..................................

All students:

Let me give you a piece of advice. As you casually or critically navigate through this forum, you will obviously come across a notorious member going by the name WritersBeware. In all her threads/posts(over 8000 as of Feb, 2012) you will notice that 'she'( I use the pronoun she to generically represent her as I don't know whether she is male, female or otherwise) consistently pretends to protect students from the zillions of scamming websites. Particularly, she will insist that all her opinions are backed up by 'evidence' which, in real sense, amounts to nothing more than querying Who IS database to reveal a site's registrant(s) details- something that my 7 year old son has already mastered.

HOWEVER, if you take a patient look at her general intent in EACH and EVERY post that she makes, you will notice a disturbing trend: She considers all essay websites/writers scams with the EXCEPTION of a US based essay site which she constantly and madly defends whenever it is under attack. Additionally, you will notice that all conniving writers who align themselves with her are seldom the target of her vicious and baseless attacks.

In fact, as per my detailed research, she uses an 'elimination' strategy where all essay companies(genuine or otherwise) are labeled as fraud, thusly making sure than only one company that she vigorously defends remains 'genuine'. The same case with writers who are members of this forum(for as long as you sing to her tune and lick her insecure ego, you are a 'genuine' writer- at least in her skewed way of thinking).

Further, any thread that touches negatively on that 'holy' company is usually removed- of course at her persistent instigation.
When, for instance, genuine clients complain about the sub-standard work from WrtiersBeware's league of writers, she will remain mum. For example, if you look at a thread titled 'pheelyks is a bad writer' where one of her associates WAS RIGHTLY chastised by a scammed customer, WB chose to conveniently ignore that thread as it touched one of her spanner boys in the forum.

Another WB's associate called WRT- owner of Oxbridge/ essayist(sp?) or something has an ongoing scam case against her which, I guess, has to do with her failure to honor her part of the agreement. WB, the sole 'defender' of writers and students has, once again, chosen to bury her foxy head in the sand.

And so many other examples.....................................................
My message to all students: DO NOT take her advice seriously. She clearly has interests in this 'industry' and while purporting to help you, her only interest is to see you use the services of a certain company.

If I were a student, I would give her 'advice' a miss.
