thegrademaker@hotmail (SCAMMER)

Beware of this e-mail id - thegrademaker@hotmail, aka Keith Russell. I had assigned him a Stress Analysis work and he missed the deadline for the same. After continuous follow-ups, he kept buying time with his lame excuses. I again tried him for a Project Management Assignment (I am cursing myself for doing this), and gave him a sharp deadline of 12 hours and a budget of $150. As expected, there was no show from him after the stipulated deadline. He sends an e-mail to me that he would charge $220 given the complex nature of the job after 24 hours. As I was desperate, I said yes but had very little hopes that he would actually deliver. He started pressing that I must pay advance before taking the delivery. As I am experienced, I decided not to pay him without delivery.

The above is still something that one can absorb given that it happens in the industry that we operate in.
However, what he did after this is beyond any justification, the second work had the e-mail id of the client given the nature of the work as it was a Project Management work and the client's e-mail was required to be used at multiple places in the work, the scammer emailed the client and demanded $500 for completing the work. The innocent student paid him $50 in advance only to realise after talking to me that this guy vanished after getting the money. Stay safe people.

Would you like to share the details of what exactly happened? It is better to get information about a particular company before placing an order.

Why don't you try EssayChat for a start? You will find plenty of writers and their contact under Services Offered section. Hard to comment on their credibility though.

I don't think so, I will try pasting his terms here if I get it in my mailbox.

[Moved from]: iwanttutor DO NOT TRUST

Dear All
This is to let you know that LAYAK SINGH +91 9901968352 using the E-mail ID: writeessay.2013@gmail is a spam and is thriving on making a living out of cheating innocent writer's work.

He would showcase stringent and filthy policies in a quest to avoid paying his dues. I urge and appeal to one and all in this industry to stay aware and not entertain any of his scamming endeavors.

Also Join this Group and share your experience as I am more than sure that this scammer has done something wrong with you as well:

So, it's not fixed. I mostly ask the writers to quote their price for every project. One of the primary reasons for that is the fact that I get a lot of technical orders, so per page cost is not something I can fix with writers. However, yes, for non-technical orders, it can range between $5-$15 per page contingent upon what the client has paid and also the reputation of the writer that include factors like:

* Response time
* Quality of delivery
* Feedback received
* Result obtained
* Number of revisions
* Instructions adhered
* Deadline met
* Others depending upon the nature of the project

QS, Sorry, if you are having a bad day. However, as I wrote in my post "this is what I do, and it might not make sense to a lot of experienced people here and I am more than willing to learn from you."

I have had very bitter experience with writers, and I am trying to do whatever I can to find reliable writers whom I can count upon. If I need an urgent revision in a couple of hours, then I must be in a position to reach out to an expert and hence I expect a variety of channels. This also applies for faster communication with an expert and that is the crux of this industry.

Let me answer your post now:
I won't degrade you (like the way you have done, "idiot; F?*k off & imbecile ") as I am a busy person. If I use the same language and tone, you will stretch this post, and there would be a deviation from the objective of this post. I am also not a frustrated person; I am looking to learn from experience of other members here and getting into altercations is not something I believe in.

Which $35 project are you referring to? Some of my writers are taking $9 per page from me at the moment. (I just assigned a Research Proposal today at that rate).

Yes, I do expect people to impress me, especially if they are approaching me for being included in my team, rather than the other way around, as I get about 5-10 applications (average) on daily basis from different writers.

Could you suggest me some ways as to what I should exactly be doing? I don't mind learning from you.
Second last line - There are plenty of them working for me already, so don't worry about that, and I'll keep looking for more.

$5000 per page - I really don't need to answer that.
I reiterate that I am looking for open suggestions, and I am sharing my experience, and I would not reply if your next post is a personal attack involving abusive language.

So, what is the conclusion here? I wanted to know the website so that I can visit to get some possible insight.

I believe there is no specific way to find a good writer. However, these are a few steps that I follow, before trusting someone with a job:

1. Ask for their CV with contact number.
2. Getting connected with the person on different IM's or social network (Example - Facebook, Skype, WhatApp, Google Hangouts, QQ, WeChat or any other)
3. Talk to the person and ask a few generic question about Referencing Style, etc. Also, asking an expert about what will they undertake in a given task (if they can provide a brief outline)

4. I do not mind paying advance, but I appreciate if 10% can be shown to me before the payment (Example- Screenshots, Remote Desktop Viewing, etc.)

I also believe that there are a few attributes which a good writer will always possess:
a) Meeting the Deadline (in case, extension is required, then communicating the same properly with a valid reason and the expected time of delivery)
b) Flexible enough to understand the requirements of different clients
c) Specialization in a specific unit (or related subject), rather than being a jack of all trades.
Now, I can understand that a good researcher or writer would be able to handle a variety of theoretical subjects. But, it's hard to swallow that how can one accept both Advanced Nursing and Engineering.

I do all this as I am always on the look out for long term relationship rather than using an expert for one project. Again, this is what I do, and it might not make sense to a lot of experienced people here and I am more than willing to learn from you.

So, what is the URL again ? Good to see positive reviews and I intend to use their service as and when required.

Yes, This guy approached me as well as a writer. I asked him for his credentials, and he was reluctant in sharing the same. He finally submitted his Resume and a few samples. I have attached his CV here. Thankfully, I did not use him for any of my orders (no wonder he was asking for a deposit). I feel bad for you and I hope that you get a refund from him. Has he replied to the Paypal dispute as yet? In case he doesn't not respond at all to the dispute, you have a very good chance of the dispute going in your favour. I do have some reliable contacts in Kenya though, not sure if that can help :-(

SCAM? freelancewritingservice.com/signup.php

Alright, I have to admit that I have been duped in the past by a website named academic-writers.net.

I got a random message on Google Hangouts from Christina Harris
The message read as follows, "Hello ! I am Administrator and freelance writer at freelancewritingservice.com. I would like to offer you to join our team of writers! Our company offers paid online writing jobs to qualified writers from all over the world. We would be glad to cooperate with you. Please, reply back if you are interested or follow this link to sign up on our website:freelancewritingservice.com/signup.php

Sincerely, Christina

I replied "Let me guess, you do not pay in advance, even if it is for the first task, also, you won't be able to provide your contact number to me.. Is that correct??"

There was no response as yet:

I have a strong feeling that this is yet another Scam website trying to misuse both writers and customers.

I would love to hear from all the experienced professionals regarding this.

Budhesh Chopra

By mistake, I have posted as Company Representative; It should be writer, cant find a way to edit it.

Has anyone used keyessay.com before? essayscam.org/forum/es/anyone-used-keyessay-5096/

I have been writing for Chris (keyessay.com) for over ten months, and I am very satisfied. When I shared this post with Chris, he wrote (Screenshot is also attached)

"Budhesh,
Thanks for the link. I haven't seen that one before.

I want to say this was made by a client who wanted an 11 page paper in about 12 hours and that post was made before I could even ask her for more information about her assignment and the actual length of it as the directions indicated one thing and her details indicated another.

I've since issued a refund to her on 11/5/14 and have not heard back from her.

I'll make sure I monitor that page carefully going forward to see what other replies are posted or if other new forum posts are made. Hopefully I can find out more useful clues as to what people are looking for when they go to make their buying decisions.

Chris"

Hello
I would like to post on behalf of Sample Assignment. This has been posted by a so called expert Andrew E-Mail (andrealewis616 at hotmail dotcom). I posted on EssayChat seeking help for MATLAB Assignment. Following the advert, i got a reply from the above mentioned e-mail that he is interested in taking up the orders, I sent him a lot of orders and out of them 3 were confirmed by him namely

1. Aerospace Engineering
2. MATLAB
3. R Programming

It was only our generosity that we paid in advance to this person trusting his abilities to produce quality work.

Without going into too many details, i would just like to share the performance of this expert below:

I have attached a few files (screenshots from my mailbox specifically)

I would also like to paste some of his e-mail right here:

Andrew: No. I'll send the work within 12 hrs. Thanks

Budhesh :You said 12 Hours, its now been more than 25 hours..

Andrew:Almost done. Thank you

Budhesh: (this is about 12 hours later)
Almost Done ?

Andrew: Yes. I was distracted by the eviction call and unfortunately I have been evicted. I'm looking for a new place. The work willl however be completed in a few hrs. Sorry for the delay. Thanks

Budhesh: Can you please send the solution ?

No Reply received from his side
After 36 Hours, I write again to him:
Budhesh: Can you please send the work for Heaven's sake ?
What happened now ? Client is going to raise a dispute on Paypal now..

No reply for 3 Days:

Budhesh: Do you realise that you are sitting on this task for the last 12 days and you still not have completed it.. Please deliver ASAP

Finally the work was not delivered, similar thing happened with other Orders that he completed for us:

Example: The feedback from the R Programming work that he completed (Screenshot also attached)

Please forward it to your expert budhesh,

Dear expert,

We are highly appreciate your efforts but in this work quality is not upto the mark and finally this assignment is done by the student herself. so we will not be able to clear the payment for it. You can see the quality at yourself in the attached file. It was clearly asked for graphs and results but in your assignment, nothing was there.As we are not getting anything from the client so we are also not able to pay you. Hope you can understand our concern.

We also want to assure you that it will not effect our future professional relationship.

Looking forward for the better performance in future but the same enthusiasm that we had earlier.

Since, i paid this person $100 virtually for nothing and lost reputation, I decided to take back my money, he followed it with some threatening e-mails:

Andrew: I have no choice but to publish the assignments that I did for you. I'm also going to expose you online (Essayscam, essay chat etc) if you don't remove the fake disputes. You have only 30 minutes

Budhesh: Please tell me where am i wrong ? You didnt deliver the Aerospace work, its been 3 weeks since its assigned to you.. We can sort this out.. Tell me how am i wrong ?

Andrew: Paypal just refunded you you cash from my account. Please send me my money $120 within 4 hrs or else I publish all the work I did for you on the blogs of the respective universities where the students study like Deakins. I'll also expose you on Essay chat and Essay scam

Budhesh: Please Tell Me how it should be $120 Brother..

Andrew: It's $92

Budhesh: Please tell me the work that you have delivered completely and for which you need the payment:

Andrew:Those are the holds you placed
Ok. If none then I guess you dont mind if I post them online and give you bad publicity on blogs
Expect the links within 10-20 minutes

Budhesh:What for ? I am ready to pay, why cant you tell me for which orders the payment is pending ?

Andrew: matlab etc

Budhesh: Please send me the exact details with amount deadline and date of delivery. Thanks.

Andrew:Look, I'm not ready to argue. I expect my money in my account within 20 minutes otherwise I'll make it my duty to publish my work and contact universities and blogs with all my time

Andrew: 20 minutes.

Budhesh:You can threaten as much as you can, you have a chance of getting your payment at the moment, but if you do something irrational, then you would just be wasting your time and you will obviously not get paid, choice is yours, thanks, I am a genuine service provider and you are taking this wrong.

Andrew: you have 17 minutes left

Budhesh: Tell me the names of the Orders and the Amount, Ill pay, I need the following specifically:

Assignment Code Due Date Date of Delivery Amount

Andrew: I don't have the time.
Your time is up

Budhesh : I need to know which Assignment are you asking the payment for ? How silly is that ? Why cant you tell me what am I supposed to pay for ?

Andrew: You will know how silly when you clients start running away

Budhesh :Do you think I will pay if you do all that ?

Andrew: I know you won't pay. Just telling you what I'm doing right now. Expects links shortly. Thanks

Andrew: https://essayscam.org/forum/es/sampleassignment-australian-service-students-beware-5055/

Expects several more posts on essaychat,essayscam, Deakins and any other university I suspect your clients come from

Next is DEAKINS

essaychat.com/#msg6953

I got so much info. Now wait and see...

Now, as far as this DND is concerned, yes i did it the same day out of fear, I really did not know how to react, Thank God I got a reply on this thread which gave me strength to reply otherwise, i just did not want to waste my time with baseless allegations on each other as i thought only Andrew would reply, I follow writers2beware in this community closely and i would like get your honest opinion, in case you need any sort of evidence on any of the above, ill be really happy to provide the same.

There are a lot of things which I have not included in this post which has made me ask refund from this person. However, i strongly feel that anyone just cant post negative comments (Like Spam Company) about any company on this post especially when the clients are satisfied
