The fact that I've been scammed would be an issue if I was writing a show, but I'm simply collecting reports and data on the industry from a variety of sources (this forum and others, spokespeople from the websites in question, people at my university with past experiences), and doing so without prejudice. Our show is subject to Ofcom's standards of impartiality, and there are several regulations which any show has to abide by.

Indeed I only put the fact that I'd been scammed to try and show that I'm not approaching your forum as a complete outside trying to glean information, but as someone who was once a member of this community...

The show will be available online, and you are all welcome to listen to it and judge it's impartiality when it goes out, I'm not sure what else I have to say to prove my journalistic practices...

Hi there,

I'm a radio-journalist doing a piece for Cam FM (a student radio station in Cambridge, UK) about the essay-writing industry and the prevalence of students (a) buying essays, and (b) working for these sites.

I'm looking for anyone who'd be willing to talk via email/IM/skype and give me their thoughts about the industry, and their experiences. This would all be completely anonymous, may I add. If anyone did want to do a recorded Skype interview though, that would be VERY much appreciated. I should add that we'll honestly be interested in ANY stories you have, there is no angle as such, the show is purely investigative, so if you have had a genuinely fruitful career writing for particular sites, then that is equally interesting to you having been scammed out of several thousand dollars or whatnot.

I've actually had some bad experiences myself writing for some sites a few years back (essaywriters.net[DND*][DND*] scammed me out of 200USD), and I've used this forum a few times before, so I'm fairly familiar with the territory.

I don't have much incentive to offer apart from an opportunity to share your thoughts about a very interesting industry. I can give a lot more detail regarding myself, the show, the radio station etc. on request!

All the best, Matthew from CamFM - EMAIL ME mjv34(at)cam(dot)ac(dot)uk

Hi,

I'm a reporter for the Chronicle of Higher Education and I'm working on a story about custom-written essays. I'd very much like to talk to current and former essay writers to see what their experience has been like. I'd also like to talk to some students who have been able to use custom-written essays.

Here's my e-mail address:

If you wish to remain anonymous, that's fine. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thomas
