Then there's editor75, who is so broke now that he can't resell his old work that he spends a year trying (and failing) to come up with an original fat joke.

Then there's the essayscam moderators, who never act faster than when they figure out I stopped by, because they don't like anyone here who doesn't get in line and suck c**k like they're told. Looks like editor75's been a GOOD boy, though.

It's been fun, essayscammers. Enjoy your bickering, editor75. Other than your whining about technologies and legal frameworks you don't understand, it's all you have left.

You're far more decent than I am, FreelanceWriter. I would have accepted money for her work and then never delivered. Turnabout's fair play, in my book.

You are such a paranoid, desperate man. I do not own any companies, in whole or in part. I am a freelance writer, and that is all.

I am flabbergasted that you still try to present yourself as an injured party, th63, when you won't even attempt to refute or deny the ample evidence regarding the massive fraud you perpetrated against the company you're accusing.

I worked as a custom maid to put myself through school. I...I don't really like to talk about it.

Why on earth would he resurface with the very real and apparently very legitimate threat of a lawsuit? This takes his irrationality to a new level.

The reason customers and companies get frustrated with many ESL writers is that those writers think writing like this is up to university standards. The fact that you can communicate clearly in English is great, but it does not mean your writing would be mistaken for a native-speaking student's. The number and frequency of errors is still a giveaway.

As soon as th63 abandons his asinine insistence that I'm pheelyks, you pick it up. How very interesting.

I don't have a master, queen sheba. I take only the work I want to take, charge the rates I want to charge for it, and work during the hours that I choose. It's quite nice, actually.

You're no help with anything, because nothing you post can be trusted. You put "evidenced-based" in the title, yet there isn't a shred of evidence here. Instead there are only more assertions of facts that could be proved (if they were true) by quoting things on this forum, and facts about certain posters' personal lives that you have no earthly way of knowing. I know you enjoy being the psychotic b**-h and I know I'm only feeding it, but seriously, give it a rest.

No. A contract for services is formed by the customer describing the service and my agreeing to provide those service for a certain price. Neither party can simply change the contract after the fact. A company or writer could decide to operate this way if they think it's good business, but I always clarify instructions with my clients and ask if there are any further details or instructions before proceeding--if they've left something out, the onus is one them.

I've had a few, "I like what you wrote, but I wanted you to include only these five specific sources so could you just rewrite it?" I'll discount the second order and use what I can of the original, but c'mon, now.

Where exactly is the "evidence" in this "evidence-based thread"?

This from the person who claims to have conducted "a major research" into a handful of writers' careers.

WB poisoned my well and drove off my livestock.

For such a decorated lecturer, this is really poorly written.

That was informative, thanks.

Also the kind of information you've mocked others for posting and using, but still, thanks.

One would think at this point that you wouldn't need to keep advertising on a forum that specifically disallows advertising if your free samples were any good.

Maybe you should focus on hiring better writers rather than obtaining first-time customers? Just a thought.

That's our motto! Here at ifyouwanttobesafejustwriteyourownessays.com and ifyoucantwriteyourpapersyouhavenobusinessbeingintheuniversity.com, "We Never Forget the Back Hair!"

I mean...that's their motto, because I'm a satisfied customer and not someone that works for the site...

I receive most glorious works from these websites! Stressed student like me often has no time to make good grades, but contact them and bow-wow-ka-POW! Now I pass cosmetology midterm and get to shave corns from Pakistani princes.

That's a lie. This thread had nothing to do with those companies/your issues whatsoever until you came along.
Neither one of us mentions you until you show up. Again, check this very thread.


Pure fiction.

This isn't a response to what I said at all, just the same empty claim you repeat whenever facts fail you.

What, aside from the two emails, have you posted? Truly, if there was any other evidence I missed it. I know you posted the ID numbers from the complaints you filed, too, but this only constitutes evidence that you contacted the government, not that any unlawful witholding of pay took place.

I have not dismissed any of your evidence--I believe the two emails you posted are genuine, and I believe that you filed complaints with various government offices. I do not believe that absolutely nothing occurred between those emails and your complaints, and your ongoing refusal to fill in the facts in this crucial part of the story is puzzling if you are as clearly right as you claim to be.

In that both writers2beware and I both keep asking you and queen sheba for evidence of your ongoing claims, yes. Rational people with a decent grasp on empirical methods tend to do that, though, and I was asking you to substantiate your comments before writers2beware even showed up, so in that sense, no.

I have never seen writers2beware bring up any company at all, and would be very interested to see anyone point out a post where this occurred.

I recently had to admit to myself that pop stardom isn't in my future, even with the assistance of AutoTune.

Did I really say you did? I don't think so. Hyperbole is your game, remember?

That's not what I see happening. You bring up the same thing at every opportunity (or make opportunities when you don't find any), including your repeated accusations against writers2beware, and then you get indignant when writers2beware responds.

This thread is one example. writers2beware answered a direct question that was asked by another poster and that had nothing to do with your disagreement. You chimed in not with any new information about the question asked, but simply to reassert that you don't trust writers2beware (even though in this case writers2beware is unquestionably correct: anyone that knows even a handful of the companies in this industry will recognize that scams are listed at EssayDirectory alongside legitimate sites).

You don't like writers2beware and are convinced that this user is connected to a company that you claim cheated you. We get it. No one else cares anymore, and it would be nice if you didn't bring this up almost every time you comment no matter what the topic of the thread is.

If th63 made a dedicated thread for his complaints and refrained from airing them elsewhere, I know I would have no reason to comment. Others could perhaps be persuaded to ignore the thread given assurance that th63 would not continue repeating the same tired refrain elsewhere.

Must you hijack every thread, th63? We all know that you think of little else aside from writers2beware and the company you've been pissed at for half a year, but we're tired of hearing about it on every thread in the forum.

Why not start your own thread all about how much you hate certain people and companies? You can post there as much as you want and no one would come disagree with you, so you can feel confident and secure in your opinions. Wouldn't that be nice?

Receiving a free sample isn't nearly as important as knowing where your money's going and being able to get a refund if the work fails to meet expectations.

I am done with my academic career, at least for now, but was doing this while finishing my last round of degrees. I was never worried about it--it's not something I talk about in the halls of academia, and it's not something anyone is likely to find out about without an inordinate amount of digging.

There's also that pesky tax issue... make sure you are not double-taxed as a contractor if you work with a business not located in your country.

I don't know about the company this happened with, but it is the sad truth that there are a lot of scams out there. Taking some steps to keep yourself safe, including communicating with the specific writer handling your project, is definitely necessary.

All writers2beware said was that she wouldn't trust Becky88. The fact that Becky88, who is posing as a student, has been identified as a representative of the company in question, is pretty compelling evidence that Becky88 shouldn't be trusted. It's the same logic you use to suggest that writers2beware shouldn't be trusted because of an association with a particular company, though in your case the evidence establishing that association is lacking.

It seems like writers2beware's evidence was coming form this very forum, in which Becky88 has been using many different usernames (according to the moderators) some of which explicitly promote the company in question. Whether or not you think writers2beware is objective, the conclusion in regards to Becky88 and criticalproof are pretty clear. So is your determination to denigrate anything said by anyone you don't like.

It is very important for a company to acknowledge where it is from, even if it reduces the number of orders received. I don't get much business shipping chewing gum to customers in China because I don't advertise as a Chinese-based chewing gum distributor--because I'm not one.

You misunderstand the point. The country you send a payment to matters because some countries are within the easy reach of the law and some aren't. A payment sent to a UK account is much safer than a payment sent to an account in Kenya regardless of where the writer lives or is from, because the UK account will be much more within the reach of the law (especially for a student that lives in the UK).

Whether the writer actually lives in the Cayman Islands or not is immaterial--if a customer cannot take steps to force a return of their money in the event of non-delivery or a fraud, sending the money is a bad idea.

This comparison is invalid. There are great writers without degrees and great writers with degrees (though on balance, someone with proven success in a university setting would clearly be preferable), and great ESL writers as well as great ENL writers (though again, on balance, a native-speaking student would likely prefer a native-speaking writer if there were any discernible ESL traits in the ESL writer's product).

Focusing on what degrees someone has or what country they are from are bad ways to choose a writer, both because it's easy to lie and because neither one provides evidence of qualification. The country to which a payment is sent is a much greater risk factor (or risk-reducing factor) than the country of a writer's origin because it actually impacts the ability for a customer to hold a writer/company accountable. A writer's demonstrated ability to write in a given area, such as can be seen by ordering a small amount of work before ordering larger projects, is the only meaningful qualification that exists in this industry.

It sounds like he's a cheater whose lifestyle has created an extreme and ongoing paranoia.
