Dear Jasonade - good for you! Though I'm sorry you were scammed. It happens to all of us. You're contribution saved me basically so I am so so grateful. His website is really good. I found someone else but who knows :/

Is this essay reviewing blog for reals or for fakes?

legitimate-writing-services.blogspot .co.uk/2016/02/essaymama-com-review.html
This review site has a list of top three recommended writing services which instantly makes me suspicious..
essaymama (err well the domain itself doesn't give confidence)
bestessaywriting.org

It is possible all these companies are owned by the bunch of people. The blogspot seems to have lots of comments by others readers who add their own good experiences with the above companies. I just have no idea whether this site is legitimate or not (I've searched and found no evidence on essayscam.org).

Thank you jasonade - i really appreciate your input!. I will email freelance writer or wordsies instead. Have you considered these options? That is if you attempt to take the plunge again. your bank may be able to help-?

Experiences with the-freelancer

Three weeks ago I was about to solicit the services of the-freelancer. One experience, by the user name madcrow or something, mentioned he is actually not Steven but someone else. However he is one of the recommended writers over on essaychat so I thought he would be legit. I'm highly cynical. I am having doubts whether anyone is trustworthy at all :/

Does anyone have experience with steven allison? He (or someone) monitors this forum as the said user madcrow was refunded when he complained on this forum. I suppose I'm answering my own question - however the past experience could have been a random mistake. I'm posting here in the hope of a second or third user review.
