I have worked for EW for more than a year(off and on) and had my fair share of ultra delayed payments; allegations for plagiarized work (resolved after a lengthy written discussion point by point); supposedly cancelled orders with different reasons; manipulated orders, etc..you name, it I have it!

After I encountered problems with Academia in the past, I vowed that I should hunt this big time essay fraudsters. Although I worked less, I made it a point to gather as much evidence I can get from them upon the advice of a moderator from another site.

If anyone is interested, do let me know.

Another important matter is the bank charge issue. EW has apparently set up a satellite office in Luzon, Philippines. This coincided with the information given to me by my bank that remittances to my account no longer came from another nook on earth but right here in my own country.

If this is the case..then they ripped Filipino writers with the $15 bank transfer charges! It only takes 100 peso max -- nothing (BDO and Unionbank) to send money inter-branch!

The Filipino counterpart therefore has a lot to answer!

I am also sending the rest of the hard copies as proof to EW's domain server. I have filed a written complaint and an aunt based in Arizona will handcarry the facts to a family member who is interested; whom I have also given my Special Power of Attorney.

EW is holding around $157 from my salary, although charges were purportedly and illegally added up. This is a measly sum in exchange for all the trouble but the question is no longer money--it is the principle behind every scam committed to writers!

EW "support group" is currently staffed by Filipinos. They are granted access on the message boards to answer inquiries relative to the specific orders and they tend to "clam up" when writers get mad and brazen.

Enter the usuals like anna, helen, daniel...and new ones like Tracy, etc. using different American names (they could think of-) as mediators. They sometimes take part in the common exchange but the above-named persons are more likely to answer "messages" in their own forum.

The real issue however is this:

If they set up office here in the Philippines, payments to Filipino-based writers don't incur as much as their $15 bank transfer charge!

Inter-branch transfer within the Philippines is only 100 Philippine Peso (less than $2.50) max, while some banks don't charge at all!

Consider this amount ripped!
