Goes to show what a foolish company it is, to lose a writer who worked for them for three years and wrote in four languages!

Thing is, if I have to be persistent in fighting for what is rightfully mine or if I need to reserve my energy to demand for my pay, then this should tell me something isn't quite right about the company with which I'm connected.

Having to 'spread the word' about one's sad experience is also a form of fighting for one's rights and a way to warn others as well. It's hardly a waste if you're able to help keep others from falling for the same ploys.

Thank you so much!!! Thank God I found this site! I was going to start working for this site. I had suspicions about this 'writing company' from the begining after one of the so called superviors emailed from Academia Research stating that she didn't get my sample writing because 'she don't got word 2007.' Another thing is when I got accepted to the site I saw a number of complaints from other writers and customers saying they wanted their money back. I guess that made me think lol !

Please do not work for this site. They cheat. They pay for some time; later slowly you realise that they thrive on cheating writers and students alike. Many people known to me had bitter experiences here.

I will notify more people of your site so they do not get caught up in this writing scam. I wanted to believe it was legit until the email.

Please, How do we know you are not part of the admin at Academia Research ?

My first time on the academia website the admin. seemed to be speaking about 'slight delays' in payment. It is not neccessary reassuring for a first timer.

shireen,

I've noticed that there are only two or three people that claimed they were paid from this company . However, I believe the majority

I am a student. But I have friends who have written for Academia. The payments are regularly delayed, they were told every time that there was some problem not with essays, but with their Billing Company, which is always too busy to pay. I was also told that if you let them know that you are leaving, you can forget the rest of your salary. They always keep an amount on hold to have a hold over you. Students, my own batchmates, have had awful experience with this company. Another company one should never go near is Project1stclass and its sister concerns.

dear writersbeware:
i am almost certain u r from essaywriters.net. in one of the blogs i found u supporting essaywriters nd now this about academia-research.. ********! academia research is a fine company which really values its writers. i am a premium writer there and had no problems with payment. moreover when it is delayed by a few days they inform us and also have all the courtesy to give a reason. not like essaywriters.net where they dont even release the meagre amount after all the unjust deductions and want to swallow all the profits. rarely u will find zero orders in available and this constant search for writers continue. academia research is far far better than most other sites out there.

Yes,I can solve your doubt clearly.Academia-Research Co.is damn fraud company,No doubt they will trap you.Because I'm a victim of their deception.But their way of decieving the writers is quite diffrent.I was working for this co. for 1 year and initially I was paid ,but irregularly.But in last moment ,while my gross income became morethan $ 400 they stopped my payments for various fabricated reasons,eventhough the customers very much happy with my works.If u keep on searching other writer's work in this particular co. U'll surely have the idea abt their functioning.I advice u not to keep trust on this co..

I have mentioned this in another thread. Academia, I believe, pays only £2 per page now to its writers and charges many many times more to the clients.

@sangeetha as an internet lawyer I would certainly endorse your advice.But the thing is that anyone can check the IP addresses of these companies on their own and steer clear of them.A few months ago WB did some excellent investigation about these Ukaraine frauds and exposed them.The thing is that having a UK/US bank account and registration is a good sign that the the company can be sued in a reliable legal jurisdiction but even then there are companies out there which defraud writers.This mandates more of a need to organise the writers or have a regulatory body to keep things fair in the industry.

@dreamer yes indeed Academia Research is less evil of all the evil Ukaraine frauds and they do pay peanuts.If you must make a good amount of living try joining some nice UK companies or established American companies like *********.Otherwise you are setting yourself up for peanuts.A UK writer can make an average of 2000-3000 pounds a month if they provide good quality work.Same goes for *********.I have seen my friends receive generous payments from them.But whatever you do not waste your talent and your words on peanuts.I have seen so many employers in my career as a freelancer.I remember once in my early days as a freelancer i became very ill and had to cancel work I was doing for coursework4you.They were so nice to me and didn't fine me at all.I explained my situation to them and they understood my predicament.Infact when I recovered they sent me work again and trusted me.If you are an honest writer you will find good employers.

Another very polite and caring employer is *********.When corresponding with them,I was particularly impressed by the good manners of their admin and they have very good reviews as employers over all in the industry.Same goes for manuscriptservices and essayacademy.They have good people sitting there who understand you as a normal human being.

On the other extreme you have the very snobbish Academic Knowledge and Deveroux and Deloitte...probably the biggest vampires known to the industry.They are worse than Academia Research and the other Ukaranian frauds...or even that guy at Project First Class....They give you 600 pounds worth of work and then slap a 300 pound fine...You never receive your arrears while quitting their company and their letters of subtle legal threats roughly resemble the ones Peter Richardson of Project1stclass writes.Should you be an hour late for your work or have a personal problem AK and D and D will fine you and be very rude to you....

It's not about the money all the time....its about politeness and valuing you as a writer.And when it comes to these two things the top rank goes to ********* and coursework4you and then the other companies.These are flexible companies and wont threaten to sue you everytime you are 5-10 minutes late for your submission.They have ethics and they have been there for a longtime.

So dont be put off with people trying to exploit your talent.There are good caring people in the industry as well.I know this because there came a time when I was so ill I could not even move to take care of myself.But these companies never took me off their books and even asked me how I was doing in my recovery.

The rule is if you are an honest and ethical writer you will find honest and ethical writing companies easily.It will take time and some disappointments.But in the long run it will pay off definitely.

Yes but watch out...you must do your investigation/homework before you sue them or complains....begin by having a look at their terms of agreement.

See if it has a legal jurisdiction clause,the applicable law,whether anyone else has sued this company before(how when where successfully or not) and try and join your claim with similar claimants/aggrieved parties....it is a long list but some homework pays off....WB and Hk on this forum can really help you out....

U r right Serene.I considered this company(AR) as my permanant employer and rendered a sincere service to them.They also admitted this fact by giving a number of rewards to me.But they are just money minded people ,not keen abt the hardworking writers.Anyhow let's see how far they can go?

Ah yes, but MAK is a disgruntled writer, and I've posted a very good explanation elsewhere in the forum of what we can, and cannot, legally do under our contract. We're subject to UK law like any other company based in the UK and so the idea that we can just slap on a huge fine for a piece of work that is an hour late will be very amusing to anyone who knows even a little about contracts and penalty clauses.

MAK also refuses to identify himself/herself because to do so would allow me to properly comment on the accusations they are making. Fair, don't you think?

A few months ago WB did some excellent investigation about these Ukaraine frauds and exposed them

Is this still on the forum somewhere?

Maybe its the veiled threats written into the contract that persuades Mak to remain anonymous like me.

I sent the evidence to WB who I trust since she has no beneficial interest in any of the sites and she can verify the email I sent with the exorbitant fine, That's proof enough for me.

You two work very closely though - you could be from the same organisation. All three of you (WB, EW, Mak) make similar posts - all three of you seem to be pro the same companies and against the same companies - I don't even know that you're different people, and neither does anyone else. You could have three accounts. It's not really very good evidence, is it.

WB is in america and I am in UK- ask the bar council :)

Jennifer, it's clear that you have been outclassed and proven to be a fraud, so now you're engaging in the same, false accusations as the equally deceptive essay site owners in Ukraine and Pakistan. You have no alternative, since your initial arguments are shot.

hello:

A-R is becoming a major mystery to me. It all started off with me having to leave my full time job and A-R became a full time occupation. They even made me a "premium writer"

I got my payments on time so far. But i am beginning to realize that they use tons of flimsy excuses not to pay and are holding my payments. I am actually shocked to learn that they are a Ukranian company. Why cant A-R be honest? They have louse phone numbers and people have become very rude. Theres this chap called David - i guess he is the boss man never even cares to respond.

They are becoming very very mean. I am not sure how to act against them. Can we all do something about this A-R? there seems to be so many of us here?

I have made good money, but now they are really holding good amount of my money on some flimsy grounds. What is the best option available to us? They have given me their official address somewhere in Miami, why are they being dis-honest? i am beginning to beleive that they are into whole time cheating.

I know a person writing for AR. He is asked to take time extension from the customer. When he takes it and writes a better essay and despite the customer acknowledging that the essay was excellent, AR deducts more than half of the measly payment that they make to writers. He will be leaving soon. Be careful with these companies. My classmate received a paper from them and the quality was unbeleivably low.

Of course,a writer is bound to obey the terms and conditions laid down by a company.During the course of the employment,if there is any case of late submission and plagiriasm ,the company would levy a nominal amount of fine like $4,$7 etc.That is acceptable.But when they want to terminate the service of a particular writer, they normally reduct a huge amount of fine like $ 32,$ 96 etc so that the company can realize the entire pending earnings of the grieved writer.I think,there is no company has included such penalty clause regd. the realization of the entire earning in the form of fine just before sending out the writer .

Jennifer is huge fraud herself and has been proved to be so by ex-writer!

I ask you again Jennifer.

If your company makes a ton of money every year why can't you afford a decent email system or a writer's panel?

And NO me and WB are NOT the same people.Maybe you are having a "dumb blond" moment as you cannot decipher the difference in the writings of three different people.

It is about time they fired you! You are BAD news for the PR dept. of UK essays.HAHAHA!

Academia-Research.com (MasterPapers.com, EssayCapital.com, CustomEssays.co.uk, MA-Dissertations.com, etc.) is a fraudulent site from Ukraine.

This is a verifiable fact.

Sorry, I cannot agree with you. During the initial days of my writing career, I started writing for them. First of all, their payment is so very low. Just $4 per page. This means £2 for us in UK. Imagine producing research work for that. They cheat, completed orders disappear from your page, they make you beg for even that measly payment. I had to leave in a great hurry and lost the last salary. They are a bunch of cheats.
