1 - look out for a companies house or VAT number.

2 - Make sure they have a UK landline number (not 0800, 0844, 0845, 0203 etc) such as 0207, 0161, 0113 etc.

Call them.

There should be no strange dial tones and the person on the other end should sound native to the UK.

3 - Be wary of low prices.

4 - Check if they advertise (those who don't rely on shady games and create one-time websites for few customers).

5 - Finally look out for a UK bank account.

They created usernames and reviews all on the same day. Too big a coincidence don't you think

click on the contact page - with grammar like this it's obvious the website is run by foreigners

Might you disappointed to see the form.
But its the most effecient way to contact with us.
We will respond instantley.

im not a writer but did apply to them to see if they were for real but they told me they only take on people who work in universities. I did get a bit suspicious and did my own investigation on them but their ip address is indeed from sheffield and the number they have is a sheffield number 0114. Dont know what to make of them.

"I chuckled when I saw the line about 'not having many orders available' - we're currently undertaking a mass recruitment campaign, as we don't have enough writers to meet demand! It could be because you're such a new writer, once a new writer has proven themselves we usually up the level if they request, meaning more jobs are available for them."

They claim to have 4000 writers on their website. Well if they cant meet demand then that just tells us that they do indeed treat their writers like dogs who have chosen to walk away.

well thats the first website ive ever seen telling people what they cant write on

he asked me if i was a customer of ukessays. No im not. I was a customer on essaybay which what this refers to -

vishkanya:
Don't assign your work to muntazir unless you want to fail. I did and got 31% but that was my fault for choosing him. He's writes likes a 4 year old

Well i dont give a monkeys whether or not you believe me. Im just warning customers that they should either do their work themselves or get a decent company to do it. As for you WRT i can tell you are an employee of academic knowledge so you cant fool anyone.

Writing pot im neither a customer or a writer for them but i know of one person who used to write for them. He was looking forward to his £1560 which he worked hard for but academic knowledge pounced and took it away with a 300% fine. He already had financial problems and virtually begged them to at give him that money because he had children and a mortgage but all they said was "the fine stands". I personally despise such people. I know a person though who killed himself after getting a plariasied paper from these rip off merchants. His uni failed him. I knew his family and his sister told me that he had bought a plagiarised paper from ukessays. Here is the story. Even his sadass lecturer wouldn't forgive him. Sad case but my advise is that you should neither work nor purchase for/from such companies.

guardian.co.uk/education/2008/jul/29/students.universityofleeds

writingpot DONT apply to academic knowledge. They will find any excuse to fine you 300% meaning you could lose all your month's salary for just one essay. Be warned

Google it and find out but if you come across academic knowledge or ukessays.com stay away from them cos they are the rip off merchants of the industry.

Spedia there are some good companines out there BUT make sure you stay away from ukessays.com. They will rip you off and in return give you shoddy/plagiarised work which you will fail with

tell me about it, everyone seems to have it in for academic company. They all cant be wrong can they.

dont work for them whatever you do, there are 2 things this company is good at, ripping of customers and writers but they will never ever dip into their own kitty , they are greedy B's, dont work for them whatever you do

I wouldn't touch academic knowledge with a barge pole as a writer. They are the biggest sadass con aristists you can come across ie fine writers 300%. STAY AWAY

All pakistani and indian writers are useless. They just want your money. Dont ever hire them. They are scam artists. Think? There must be a reason why good essay companies dont employ them.

I would never hire an indian to write my essay. How can someone who comes from a country where the native language isn't even english write a good paper ??

I wouldn't waste my time applying to Academic Knowledge as the chances of you being allocated work are 1 in 100. I know a friend whose application was accepted and bid after bid after bid and 2 years on he has yet to be allocated any work. He is on the bronze level and asked ukessays to increase it to at least silver but they declined saying that he needs to prove his worth. How the hell does someone prove his/her worth when they can't even get any work. Ukessays is for established researchers only so i wouldn't waste my time applying.

the writer was muntazir who is from pakistan. ESL writer

well im not a writer nor can i be arsed to write for essays for essay companies but i would never employ a non native writer work on an essay for me. I did it once cos money was tight and paid the price for shoddy work. That was my mistake.

you're based in the Philippines so i'd expect u to challenge that contention but as far as im concerned non native writer provide junk.

Im surprised u even employ writers from non native countries. As for Muntazir, he is also on essaybay and wrote for me with both essays failing one which had 44% plagiarism in it. He also has a website set up from his own country pakistan. He is a true scam artist. If I had my own writing company I would never employ anyone from pakistan or India. UKessays never employs non native writers and that how it should be. How can anyone expect a good paper when it has been written by someone whose 1st language isn't even english ???

He claims to have an MBA from Harvard yet writes like a 4 yr old.

cant be arsed

i had 2 papers written by muntazir on business and failed both of them, he is a crap writer and i would never choose him again. He has at least 3 seperate id's on essaybay. I only choose verified writers now.

I'm studying business not law.

Don't assign your work to muntazir unless you want to fail. I did and got 31% but that was my fault for choosing him. He's writes likes a 4 year old.

he did indeed say
NOTE-: I WILL NEVER BID ON A PROJECT OUTSIDE MY EXPERTISE!!

I personally believe he no expertise at all. I certainly don't think he has an MBA from Harvard from the way he writes. If I had an MBA from Harvard i would have verified myself.

Anyway, i only have myself to blame for choosing him but in the end it led to me finding a good writer on the same site.

I'm studying business. I didn't want to pay too much that why i chose him but his essay dreadful. I would never choose him again.

well i ordered an essay from muntazir on essaybay and the content was so appalling that I got a referral (mark 31%) from my university. I learnt my lesson and got another good UK verified writer on the same website to do it again and she got 64% for me but my mark had to be capped at 40% cos i got a referral.

He bids for eveything on there but it was my mistake that i fell but his cheap bid which in end meant i had to pay twice for the same essay.

I'm lucky though that i am a 1st yr student so the capped mark doesnt count towards my final degree class but i would never choose to do any of my work.
