Applied for a writer position at Writezillas - they rejected my sample paper

I applied for a position, but they rejected my sample paper as they claimed it to be low quality. I was surprised when they published it immediately on one of their websites!!

I have links, and proof to cement this allegation. I sent them my letter of intent:

Hello Sir,

I possess ample experience in the working of a corporate office. I have been writing for students on various academic sites. I have written articles and dissertations for students studying at various levels including MBA and Ph. D. I am an MBA in Finance and hence have a good idea of what is required by a Tutor in an article. My basic degree is a Bachelor of Commerce which has been a strong foundation for my writings on the subject of Finance.

A few excellent reasons, why you can depend upon the job being done effectively and efficiently are:

I am:

- diligent and has integrity
- makes good decisions quickly
- creative and thinks outside the box
- communicates excellently with all people
- extremely punctual (always finish tasks before deadline)
- efficient worker (doesn't waste time - only focuses on task at hand)
- can speak and understand English very well (My entire education right from primary to my MBA has been in English)

My aim being to do things right the first time and all the time.

I look forward to build a strong relationship with you.

Thank you,

New Writer

If your writers are so good, why not publish theirs?

A new company called writezillas.com is a scam and should be avoided by all.

A new company called writezillas.com is a scam and should be avoided by all. I applied to get writing account with them and they declined. Yet, they used my sample paper on their website to attract clients. Upon requesting a pull down, they blocked my IP adress. Here is the sample paper on their website... migrantinstitute.net/a-revised-essay-example-about-the-history-of-texas

I do not have any personal experience with the firm, but I have heard a similar story from another writer (not on this board), who applied and provided them with a sample. That writer had their work copied onto the website, while the firm rejected them as a writer.

It looks like this really is a site to stay away from.

I've been working for them for about a month and they've closed my account for "fraudulent behavior", so I'd be inclined to agree with them being a scam.

Oh, I generally never offer samples for this reason. The best thing to do is to ask for them to devise a random essay question, which for which you can write an introductory paragraph or the like. That way, legitimate companies get to see the standard of your writing, while scammers who just want to publish or sell your work will be put off.

Your experience is an information to all that Writezillas is a scam company.

I checked out this company's Web site and it was better than average. I used their live chat feature to ask about the sample paper issue since this practice is so low-life and was told that Writezillas does not post sample papers (I could not find any on their Web site). I did find the sample paper that Willi mentioned at migrantinstitute.net/a-revised-essay-example-about-the-history-of-texas, but this site is operated by a company called "USEssayWriters" (usessaywriters.com/). I couldn't tell if they were affiliated.

As of July 1, 2016, writezillas.com uses a mail server from yandex.net, which is a Russian-language service that is physically based in the Russian Federation. Rest assured, one does not pay for Russian mail servers unless one natively speaks Russian.

Here are the Russian IP addresses of their mail server:
77.88.21.89
87.250.250.89
93.158.134.89
213.180.193.89
213.180.204.89

The company is constantly changing IP addresses and servers. 7 changes over 9 years tells me the company can't even stay in the same hands for longer than several months. If students would just take the time to do a reverse IP lookup, they would see that this company is not reliable at all. As for writers, the same IP reverse lookup will tell you that they are not looking for actual writers, just partners in crime. If you are a writer looking to make a living, this company isn't for you. They are nothing more than hunters on the lookout for prey.

Well, for all the claims of fraud, it appears that the company still has a sizeable writers roster in their employ. The company is still active and actually looks like it is thriving in the industry. They are still accepting writer applicants but I believe that they have changed their hiring process so perhaps the causes of the "scam" accusations have been addressed as well. Anyway, I was looking over their anchor page and saw that they had an entry saying that they would compensate the writer for extra work that was not covered in the original order instructions. That is very fair of them as not all writing companies agree to additional compensation for late instruction changes. I only hope that they actually do this because the writer's job seems to be never done in terms of clients whose constant revision requests seem to have the writer developing a totally new free paper instead of just editing work.

Only a company that cheats its writers would ever refuse to do this, because writers have absolutely no obligation to provide anything more than whatever the specifications require as of the time they accept any order. Writers have the right to request that the order be taken off of their accounts and reposted if additional specifications come in after they've already accepted the order. About the only exception to that right might be where the original specifications actually include some notice that more specifications would be provided, subsequently, and the writer grabbed the order without waiting for those additional specs to be posted; but even then, any legit company that doesn't abuse its writers would allow the writer to drop the project, as long as that request to drop the order is timely in relation to when the additional specs came in and (to) the due date.

Irrespective of the way they choose to handle the writer's request to drop the project because of additional specs, any legit company would always increase the payout to the writer appropriately, to cover the total amount of work the project actually requires. Whether or not the company notifies the customer that the additional specs require additional payment is its prerogative; but they can't refuse additional pay to the writer if those late specs increase the amount of work required to complete the project. No legitimate company would ever instruct the writer that he was obligated to write twice as much for a single-spaced project whose original length was defined in page numbers or write an extra page just because a late message came in from the customer about an abstract, or indicating the abstract in the original specs would have to be in addition to the number of pages (or words) ordered, originally.*

I encountered these types of situations quite routinely when I wrote for essay companies from 2003 to 2013. Typical changes included late notice that a project whose length was specified by the number of pages (vs. word count) required single spacing*, or that a full-page abstract was required in addition to the number of pages (or words) originally ordered for the project. All I ever had to do was notify the company that the additional specs doubled the length of the project (in the first scenario) or added an additional page to the project (in the second scenario), and the company would immediately change the payout for the project on my screen. How they handled things with the client was entirely up to them, but I assume they simply notified the customer that the additional work required additional payment.

*[That's because double spacing is standard throughout this industry and the TOS of all essay companies also either explain that or detail how many words constitutes a "page."]
