It's true that writers.ph and essaywriters.net are fraudulent companies. I am a writer at writers.ph for a year now. Recently, I received a penalty that is 200% of the total value of the order that I have taken. Surprisingly, I was fined after my work was sent to the customer then they said it was later refunded??? I sent them countless e-mails to reduce the penalty but they wouldn't compromise.

They are deducting exorbitant amount for fines and penalties. They deducted $10.00 from my earnings as a result of a late paper. But 100% of $5.00 should only be $5.00 and not $10.00. My complaint has been going on for almost a month now. They are swift in reducing a writer's earnings but in handling complaints they are so slow. Such scammers!!!!

you can try banco de oro. ask them about the wire transfer details.

they have a new address? someone told me that writers.ph is located at the 2nd flr. of the executive bldg. at makati ave.

@momosigh---- it's pepi not pipi. i haven't gone to their office in makati yet. i got paid three times. i still have $32.00 unpaid salary. i don't think they will pay me soon since they have a new policy that is, you have to write at least a total of $50. i got tired, i'm not writing anymore since i'll just be writing for the $15 deduction every pay check. before i used to write one article a day for a $5 or $7 paper. it's just too much now. i don't know if you can call that scamming since they paid me before but with this exorbitant deduction, it just makes me stop and think.

you can call writers.ph at 856-1781. the company's address is 2nd flr. executive bldg., makati ave., makati city.

good luck!

hello. sunburst_cookies. there were times that i really wanted to curse them for unbelieable plagiarism reports and negative feedbacks but i know they will punish me for that by terminating my account and not paying me for the projects i've done.

try to call them and tell them about your concerns and you could also storm them with messages until they get it through their thick heads that something is wrong. but do it with nicely. it works.

my girlfriend is also a writer for writers.ph she experienced payment delays until she got fed up and became obnoxious to the support team. all they did was promise her that she'll get paid soon. a month passed and then two months, she got nothing.

i told her that maybe she should change her strategy this time. she became courteous to the support team and lo and behold! they responded nicely. after a few weeks she got her $500 payment.

how long have you been waiting for your salary payment? if it has been a month or more call the writers.ph office or better yet pay them a visit.

my girlfriend and i were planning on checking the writers.ph site just to know if it really exists.

@pious--- that was my personal expereince. negative feedbacks=salary deduction. time and again i tried to persuade the support team that the client should read my work first before they give me a negative feedback. the problem with the clients and quality assurance dept. is that they don't read the writer's work.

@sunburst_cookies--- don't take any orders anymore not until they pay you. next time limit your orders at a minimum. that's what i'm doing now.

correction please it's pepi not pipi. i experienced minor delays before. i have not read the new payment scheme until now. i called writers.ph as to why they are doing this? especially with a part-time writers like me. i only have $26.60 for my next salary payment. i asked them whay would they deduct $15 from my hard earned money??? now, i would only get $11.60? the operator said she will call me back and that she will forward my concern to their main company. in the meantime, i sent them a message online regarding my complaints.

she called me back after half and hour. she explained to me that the $400 was now reduced to $50 which means i would not be able to get my $26.60 not until i reach the full amount of $50 for the payment to be processed. out of that $50 i would only get $35. the problem is that even before this new payment scheme i get a total deduction of $6.30 every salary payment. so now, i'm looking at $21.30 worth of deductions.

i haven't been writing lately. it seems that i don't have any other means to find a writing job that's why i can't quit. i've sent my resume to topnotchwriters.com and i got accepted the problem is until now they are not forwarding any orders.

@writerPHscam---- no, i am not one of them. i just have a diffrent way of handling things. i deal with them professionally by writing formal complaints. i would call their office and speak to them regarding my concerns. i got paid three times with deductions here and there. they pay me maybe because it's only at a minimum? i don't know. i gave them the correct details regarding my bank account and so far i get paid through that with a 3-5 days delay.

@ pious: yes, i think the people at writers.ph- just handles the complaints, deadlines, etc. i don't think thay they scam people.

btw, my payments from writers.ph/ essaywriters were all delivered. there were delays and penalties. i still write for them from time to time because i need the money. but now i am careful in taking some projects. the problem lies with the client/s; they would sometimes give a negative feedback that would cause delays in payments and penalties. there were occassions that i was able to reason out with the support to cut down the penalties imposed.

All I know is that writers.ph is an extension of essaywriiters. I don't think that the company is owned by a Filipino. They have an office in Makati City, Philippines. What they do is follow-up the work with the writers. They sometimes call to check if I can submit the project on time. I don't think they are part of whatever is going on.

one of the reasons why there are only few orders at writers.ph is because it's winter break in the US for college students. the spring semester would begin around february; however, high school kids are back from their winter break.

the same thing happend to me I finished writing a paper and then i received a report that it involves plagiarism. i defended myself by stating that all things were properly documented. i tried to persuade them to check my work.

one day, i got the feedback from turnit.com. apparently, writers.ph or its sister company has it. they undelined the words "that" and "being" as plagiarism. i sent them a message telling them that these words are general terms that can be used. they took off $3.00 from my next pay check and held my payment. what a*******!

i can't believe it.

i sent them messages again telling them to read my work before accusing me of plagiarism and giving me a fine. alas! a light bulb just clicked. they decided to pay me the full amount and withdrew their accusation of plagiarism.

something happend again today, i finished my essay for lit. the client asked me to do a revision. fine, it was done. but writers.ph held my payment again saying that the client filled a bad survey and that i could check it myself.

i checked my surveys it says i have 2 bad surveys. i tried to upload it but it was not there. i'm just wondering if the bad survey really exists. i've tried uploading it for the third time still it is not posted.

i am suppose to get a measely $48.9 for february 1-3. now, i'm looking at $39.9. and since it's under $40, they would not be able to wire it to my bank and i have to wait for a month to get paid.

it is pitiful.

@imee don't worry you will get paid soon. maybe, you should limit taking projects. i think they really have a problem paying in big amounts. cheer up :D

@cas i got my first salary today.it's not much but i'm happy i got paid.

i would take a maximum order amounting to $150 and that's it. although they are paying at a minimum for a 3 page paper. still, it's better than nothing.

@Cas yes, writers.ph verified my account details a week ago.

Sorry, I am not Bunot or whoever he maybe. I am new in this forum. I can be polite but I can also be the devil incarnate if you know what I mean, hehehe >:>

it supposed to be my first payment of $100. i did not take a lot of projects because i wasn't sure if they would really pay me.

i don't want to antagonize them at this pont because they might hold my earnings. i'll wait this week for the wire transfer. if i don't get my payment this week, i'll go to the writers.ph's office in makati.

I have been writing for writers.ph for a month now. I have not received my first salary for January 1- January 3, 2008. They deleted my xoom account details and my wire transfer information was set as the primary salary transfer.

I checked with my bank yesterday if I received any payments and they told me that there is none. I will check again next week.

I have been sending messages to writers.ph regarding my salary transfer. I'll see if what happens next.

I have been writing for writers.ph for almost a month now. I have not received my first pay check. Last time I checked the company said that they already wired my first salary. I have to check my bank account this coming week if it's true because as of yesterday I have no transactions yet.

I was surprised to find out that my work last January 2, 2008 is under investigattion. I sent them a message as to why. They told me that the qualty assuarance department detected plagiarism on my work. I reasoned to them that since it's a summary of a book clearly the ideas I wrote was not entirely mine but that of the author's that is the reason why I cited the author's name and date of publication on every sentence and paragraph I wrote. They sent me a message saying "this is noted".

I'm sure that they will deduct half of it from my next salary and it would be moved in two to three months.
