1. no, being nice won't guarantee that you will be paid. actually, the threat of legal action and exposure works far better and much more effectively. I say this with full confidence based on my experience with them for the past six months.
2. the Filipino personnel here at Writers.Ph are just "fronts" and are actually helpless when it comes to defending their employees and their writers' rights. Much as they can be really nice, do you honestly think they can do anything without the instructions and money of their Ukrainian bosses? Doesn't make them guilt-free or innocent though.
3. my salary was more than a month delayed. the usual excuses were: account has to be verified, being processed, problem with xoom, re-verifying bank details, re-processing etc. and yada yada. all the bull that you guys have probably received.
4. Seen those plagiarism reports? I mean have you guys really scrutinized them? I got reports that cited NAMES of people and universities in addition to the article "the" as "plagiarized."
5. The payments for a couple of papers I wrote a few months ago were cancelled the same day I submitted it. Why? Support said the client wanted the money back. Now I find this really funny especially since the client gave me high marks/positive feedback for the paper and was even asking how he could send me some gratuity for my work. Unfortunately, no matter what argument I made even sending screenshots of the client messages...nada.
6. When it comes to payment, my experience with them was that things will go okay for the first three pay-outs, some even arriving earlier than the pay-out date. After the first three, prepare for crap. I experienced having my pay for some of the more higher paying articles deferred for two months because support said "the client might change his/her mind."
Other such "delays" and "paycuts" were brought about by penalities from so-called "plagiarism reports" (like the one cited above), alleged bank fees which were denied by the receiving bank (wouldn't you know it?) and other similarly idiotic excuses.
Any of these experiences sound familiar? Email me at writers.scam@gmail.
