bestessays.com as well as other multiple other similar sites are SCAMS and as someone else stated, run by Ukrainians (Yuri and Olga, mother and son). He was deported to Ukraine a few years ago for credit card fraud; Olga may still be in the US.

It is a very elaborate scam, they have even used PR firms to put out press releases and have different companies (Essay Writers, Universal Research Services, and a couple of others. If they have paid ANYONE is only so that they can string along other writers to continue to write for them. They will also go around websites such as this and put up fake postings claiming to be writers who get paid and defending them.

DO NOT write for them and if you have, don't expect to get payment for your services. Remember they will keep creating new companies with new names and keep ripping off hard working writers. They are cold thieves, true scum of the earth.
