hi has anyone written for Academia Research?

I'll start this by saying that I no longer write essays on a regular basis because the industry is oversaturated with frauds and criminals, but work has been slow this week so I decided to pick up a couple of essays over at Academia-Research, just for something to do. From past experience, I knew that they usually pay their writers small amounts without much trouble and that their phantom deductions usually appear when you've completed a large amount of work. It seems as though their "Thank You" for your hard work is to make up some reason to fine you.

Anyways, the essays that I completed this week were mostly just for fun, but it quickly turned into a somewhat stressful situation. Basically, the customer's directions were not thorough enough and his or her attachment did not work properly, which led to me not having the correct information. That is fair enough, as things happen sometimes and it should not have been a big deal. Well I have since received countless phone calls and messages from them, basically telling me that there will be consequences if the revision is not completed within an hour. There's no way that I'm going to write a second essay for a single fee and I have told them as such and the response that I received, in broken English mind you, was that the situation will get worse for me if HR is forced to get involved.

I'll admit that I have been stoking the fire, so to speak, as I want to see how outrageous their threats will get, since I'm not interested in a long term relationship with them, but these people are ridiculous. Now, I knew what I was getting into, so I'm really not surprised, but I find it laughable that this company tries to pull of these types of scams. Like, am I supposed to be scared by their threats? I can laugh about this situation because I am not relying on them for an income, but I feel incredibly bad for people who do need this money to pay their rents and their bills. I have been in a situation with a different company where my large payment never came, so I would advise everyone to research every company that they work for thoroughly because the warning signs are always there.

A legitimate company will stand behind its writers because they know how difficult it can be to find an educated and reliable writer. That is one of the main things to look for in an employer as unless your work is absolutely horrible, is plagarized, or you have blatantly ignored instructions, a good employer will take your side in any dispute because losing a good writer is simply not worth it. Academia-Research will hire absolutely anyone, so they are not worried about keeping people around long term and, therefore, will get what they can from you and will eventually screw you over.

You hit the nail on the head!

no, not the same owner. They were partners at one time but fell out a couple of years ago. A-R and EW are separate entities but both are scammers

academia research looks like another scam.

The papers from this scam site can be purchased in mightystudents online.

Beware!

Most companies sell the papers after 30 days of giving it to the student. Very dangerous!

You know it takes a few hours to get subpoena and track your IP address to your home address? What would you tell the judge if he asked you: "You claim site X is a scam. Show me THE PROOF or you will go to jail for defamation." Are you ready for jail time?

Most likely, they are the same company.

Now we have direct threats from Stu4, proving once again that he is directly associated with the fraudsters.

An absolute defense against a defamation claim is truth.

Another defense is that one is informing on a matter of public interest for the protection of the public good.

The verifiable evidence about MightyStudents.com and associated sites is available in many different places from many different people, including this forum and through an investigator's blog. If anyone has questions about a particular site, I will be glad to publicly direct you to the verifiable evidence, if any.

You have problems understanding the meaning of the message. I wrote if "site X" - do you have any evidence on "site X"? Maybe "site Y" or "site XYZ"?

PS. You can call me an investigator too, or even a Senior Investigator.

I'm not even following this thread but have to respond to this stu4pidity: Defamation is a civil cause of action, not criminal. "Jail time" isn't an issue. Judges don't ask anything in that acusatory manner, either; the "defamed" party has the burden of filing the case and proving it, not the judge...and as WB points out, truth is an absolute defense to most types of defamation including this one.

While it might take a criminal prosecutor only "hours" to get an IP address, to do so in a civil case requires filing your case first and then going through the discovery process, not "hours."

P.S. Good luck with that lawsuit there, Sport...err...I mean Mr. Senior Investimagaterer.

Stu4: I would like Academia-Research to track my IP and take me to court if they can. They are fraudsters and deliberately misrepresent themselves. I have the evidence and it'll stand up in any court. A-R can bring it on if they can. They are fraudsters, scammers and liars ....

Right on!


Exactly. Plus, what Stewy obviously does not understand is that once a foreign entity files a lawsuit in a US court against a US entity, the foreign entity and its assets immediately become subject to US jurisdiction. As the embarrassing ***** suit proved, countersuits against the plaintiff can and will result in at least $700,000 in monetary compensation, banning of all of the plaintiff's 555 sites from all search engines, and ownership transfer of all 555 domains to the defendant.

Then why did you HAVE to sell essayfraud? LOL And changed the ET's warning page not to show any connection with ET that started Essay Fraud? Because you were afraid ET would be banned too> LOL

You must watch a bit too much Twilight Zone.

#1. You have no proof whatsoever to prove any of your accusations, because such proof does not exist.

#2. At no time have I had any ownership in Essayfraud. In fact, court records 100% prove that I have nothing to do with that site! Don't get me wrong-I absolutely loved that site and was extremely disappointed to see that it was sold. The fact that you continue to accuse me of owning and selling that defunct site proves your utter lack of credibility and desperate need to discredit me via any means necessary.

Thank you for confirming that "I"=********* :-).

What? Dude, you don't even make sense.

For the sake of argument ... what if she does? All it goes to show is that she's done a damn good job. Whatever any may say about ET, the fact remains that it is a solid website, gives customers their money's worth (there will always be a disgruntled few and they tend to shout the loudest but that does not make them right) and is SUCCESSFUL. Success isn't born out of nothing, you know ...

I have, over the past few years, dealt with them (ET) as a seller. Were I to compare them with A-R, I wouldn't know where to begin ... how can one begin to compare honesty with dishonesty? Or how about talking with Admin personel who speak and understand English as opposed to ones who (try as they might) really can't.

And just to make my position clear - I don't hate Academia-Research, masterpapers, customessays.co.uk, essaycapital, ma-dissertations ... I abhore and detest them.


I won't say site X, I'll say:
Academia-Research, masterpapers, customessays.co.uk, essaycapital, ma-dissertations defraud customers and writers; they act in bad faith and do not deliver on their contractual obligations (both verbal and written); they knowingly engage in the promotion of their services through false claims. And I have more then enough evidence against them - evidence accumulated over years as a premium writer on their site. Having said that, I would very much like them to take me to court for defamation. AND you do not have to go through the trouble of obtaining a court order and tracing my IP ... you know who I am and if you are in doubt, just ask me

Beware of Academia-Research I have been cheated recently. They are the great bluffers. In the beginning they are smart in paying but gradually they start fleecing money by different tactics, by imposing fines and then when you demand for your monet they terminate your registration. Please be aware of these cheaters. Oh! the cheaters.

Despite your linguistic limitations, Academia should have paid you. They should have paid because they took you on despite the fact that you should not be writing in English and then compounded their crime by assigning you work.

When I was working as a writer with Academia, I took up the revision for 2 of your works ... horrendous doesn't begin to describe the experience. I found it easier to just redo it from scratch.

Now - before you decide to dispute this, maybe I should tell you that I have pdf screen shots of every single order board I ever worked on, including the two I picked up from you. They contain your messages to the clients and their replies - everything.

Having said that, I still believe that you should have been paid as Academia did assign you work despite your multiple handicaps.

I am sorry for coming across as harsh but I really cannot wrap my mind around the fact that just about anyone is seeking employment as an ENGLISH-LANGUAGE academic writer. It is precisely because of this that many EXCELLENT ESL writers are getting a bad rap.

does WritersBeware actually have a job writing for any of these companies, or did they quit to find a lucrative career posting repetitive vitriol on message boards?

:) just curious

Welcome rustyironchains from the Ukraine. Maybe you can answer a question - why is such a high percentage of the scammers in this industry from the Ukraine? It is getting as bad as the Nigerian bank scam letters. Do you not have laws regulating criminal activities - scamming, cheating, etc. do constitute criminal activities in most every country.

Does anyone find it rather curious that rustyironchain from the Ukraine (it rhymes!) signed on today and posted 3 anti-WB messages?

So, are you with A-R or with EW? Both have mastered the art of scamming ...

You beat me to it, OR!

yes, I'm the Ukrainian boogeyman, here to whip you into a froth of misguided post-cold-war nationalist rabies.

haha. I'm from Canada.

anway, no one answered my question. I'll have to guess-- unemployed. how else would they have so much time to waste?

I am quaking!


Of course you are


of course - 10-20 minutes a day, not everyday, on the forum ... helluva lot of time!

So, who are you??

I put that there to mess with you and make you paranoid. it worked instantly. I'm basically here just to flame you for being pathetic, complain about essaywriters, and look for new job leads.

speaking of jobs, my original question... do you work for any of these places, or just whine on and on about them?

as to who I am, I'm just a hack like the rest of you, but I'm not too proud of it.

rustyironchains = one more in a long line of truly useless members

I'll take that as a sort of taoist compliment. and yet, my question remains unanswered...

Use the search function before making ignorant accusations. It's not our responsibility to repeat, at your whim, what we have each already posted in this forum multiple times.

For the WB, a rare specimen of living fart, any opposition is accused of uselessness. It cannot take criticisms and will spew out rabid yet ineffectual rebuttals when faced by them. Let us continue to observe this wonder of nature (as in, we wonder why nature ever made it happen) here, in the Writer's Geographic.

Now I have my own theory - they went from the "Russian bride scam" to the "Essay business scam". You can read about their Russian dating/bride scams all over the net, I'm sure some of them moved to the writing business too. I know on such dating sites they would post fake pictures of women and they would correspond with men who thought they corresponded with real women etc. THey would steal pictrues of women too, just like they now steal custom graphics from legitimate websites. Probably the best solution so far would be to block all IPs from Ukraine.

The stalking and harassment by EW_writer, agent of Ukrainian EssayWriters.net, continues . . . .

Siteowner, I commend you for taking a stand. Do not let any henchmen intimidate you into backing off. I wish you luck in seeking the justice that you and others deserve.

Err.. siteowner, nice to meet you. I hope you don't have any ill feelings against me as I certainly have none against you. I am employed by essaywriters.net and they do pay me on time. I've written thousands of papers for them already and consider myself one of their best writers. Does this make us enemies? I like to think that it doesn't but please correct me if I'm wrong.


When threatened, the WB will immediately seek the support of any entity that it believes would come to its aid. More often than not, beings that plague this sorry product of happenstance primate mating do so out of disgust for the creature's despicable demeanor and have no interest in engaging other entities in conflict.

The stalking and harassment by EW_writer, agent of Ukrainian essaywriters.net, continues . . . .[/b]

Siteowner, rest assured, I don't need any friends to support me. I can take care of myself quite easily. Anyone who does support me does so because I stand for truth, honesty, writer/consumer rights, and legal business practices. Plus, I post evidence to support EVERY claim that I make.

EW_writer is an admitted agent of the fraudsters from Ukraine. He is the one who needs "friends" to aid in his propaganda campaign against me. He is trying to "make nice" with you for that very reason. He has openly admitted that his only purpose in this forum is to harass and personally attack me. His goal is to get me to fold and stop posting damaging, verifiable evidence of fraud against his Ukrainian employers. Ask any legitimate member to name the fellow member who has the longest track record of posting only truth, facts, and verifiable evidence. I'm confident that they'll all give you the same answer: "WB."

AR is a good site to work for. I have worked alot for them. They are quite professionals; very harsh with fines though.

Sometimes these fines are genuine, while pathetic sometimes.

For example:
- they once fined me for uploading the paper late and when I emailed them the evidence, they apologized and removed the fine
- they have several times fined me for inappropriate formatting and lack of intext citation, without any evidence and do not reply to any claims or queries

- Angelina once told me that she is doing a favor by re-considering the fine
- they do not consider what the writer has to say - the customer comes first always
- if the customer complaints, the assignment is gone for you and you are fined for it for sure

be ware of these things; otherwise, it is a good site to work for...

I agree with muntazir. I think we should be clear on their fines, though-- these are not excessive fines, in my experience: just a couple of dollars here and there. certainly not like some of their competition, who fine you the entire amount of the paper, twice, just for kicks.

the real hard-asses in terms of fines, in my experience, are at essaywriters.net.

Amen.

check this out: this is from essaywriters.net.

"Topic: The American social/economic sytem is set up against minorities, esecially Black Americans
Files: 1
Messages: 24 Research Paper May 28 2009 20:26 Order is refunded
Feedbacks: 0 67.50 $-80.5 not paid"

notice the (-$80.50): that's how much I'm being fined. what you can't see from this snippet is, that this was originally a $50 paper, which I got a $17 bonus on. then, out of the blue, essaywriters.net told me that the paper was plagiarized, so the customer was refunded. I'm still not sure why the fine exceeds the original value of the paper by about thirty bucks.

I checked their turnitin report, and all of the "plagiarism" was in-text citations! it was all in quotation marks... ?!?!

anyway, my one consolation is that, since I've quit, they'll never get this outrageous fine. I could kick myself for giving them a second chance.

But only a certain percentage of intext citation is allowed.....any more than that is considered as plagiarism.

Initially they warn you and ask you to reduce the citations, after which they begin to fine you, I guess.

nice try, but it's indefensible, imho.
