Any experience with authorsmania.net / authorsmania.com?

Greetings!

I recently signed on to join authorsmania.net. I have not yet written anything for them as there are some issues with the site and within email conversations with their support that have set off some alarms for me. I was wondering if any writers have had any experiences with this group (positive or negative).

thanks in advance.

How did you find this fledgling site? It's only about 6 weeks old, registered by "Hanif Muhammad."

Have you paid close attention to the copy on the site? I'd stay away.

Nobody would not have to steal anything had you crooks not been scared s.h.t.l.e.s.s. and deleted the thread.

What a pathetic sight!

heyas WB -

Authorsmania is advertising on some of the freelance writing forums I frequent. The site copy is one of the factors that has stopped me from taking a job from them.

I've see 3 assignments posted for authors through the site so far. 2 for 4$ per page and 1 for 6$ per page, which is enough for me to stay away.

I won't bad mouth them yet but I'd caution writers to beware. I would not be surprised if we end up reading some complaints about them in the near future.

Lavinia, forgive me for refuting the crook's racist barbage that he has posted in your thread, but do not forgive him for intentionally ruining your thread in the first place.

As for Authorsmania, the combination of a 6-week-old site, absurdly low pay, and poor grammar is a serious red flag.

I've worked for authorsmania.net, Mohammed will pay you within a few days of accepting the project, but he will also continuously request that you do papers and kind of bug you about it, but he is a nice person and for the 10 or so papers I did for him I was paid as soon as the next day. But yes, I wouldn't take something for 4$ a page unless I really needed the money, which I did at the time to pay for my kid's medicine (because HMO's are the devil, I say, the devil---but that is another story!)

Anything less than $10 per page is slave labor.

You can look down on me for working for 4$ a page but I had to buy medicine for my kid. We don't have any health insurance. I suppose if you have enough money that you don't have to worry about it then yes, it would be slave labor. But then again I wokred 16-18 hour days 6 days a week at a US based company for 40 g a year salary, which added up to about 7 bucks an hour (well, plus benefits) so I suppose that 4 bucks an hour is only 3 steps closer to nothing, so that's not that big of a stretch when you have to do it.

Necessity over-rides my ego any day of the week. But, yes, the pay is low, Mohammed is in Pakistan, but he won't screw you if you accept an assignment from him. If you accept an assignment it is entirely up to you.

Hi Fae!

Thank you for the information. I haven't accepted anything but I've noticed that jobs tend to get claimed very quickly so it's clear that the writers are pretty active.

Hi,

I have been working with Muhammed since 1998, when he started his academic writing career. He has just started his own company and prior to that he was working on an individual bases - just hiring some writers by placing ads and work with them. He was paying me from $4-$10 because he was getting paid only $6-$12 from companies like academia-research.com or uvocorp.com -- I think that's fair enough to get paid even if your in need of that. He didn't force any one to work for him.

But the whole scenario has been changed now. He is paying enough to writers now. I got two assignments right now and one is of $8 per page and the other is of $9/page. I think this isn't fair enough to guess someone's credibility of only previous few weeks. And Fae, I thank you for appreciating him but he was paying you when he didn't own the company and you probably understand that better.

[Moved from]: Are authorsmania.net & authorsmania.com the same?

I got a recommendation for authorsmania, checked essayfraud & found that while there's no authorsmania.com listed as a fraudulent site, there IS an authorsmania.net listed.

I checked authorsmania.net & found that a phrase or two on the site was worded weird, maybe I'm just being too picky, but you dont have a knack ON writing, you have a knack FOR writing, right?

Isnt that common english? It doesnt really matter; I wouldnt use that site because its listed as a scam.

However, when I checked out authorsmania.com, the font of the site's name was exactly the same, & they have the same name but for the .net & .com.

And the .com site has a dialog box that I cant seem to get past to look any further into it.

Sorry to be long winded, but does any know if they're the same?

essayfraud/scam-fraud-ripoff.html

I see both Authorsmania and Authorsmania on the list.

Both sites belong to the same, ripoff company. Proof, you ask? They both have the same fax number:

authorsmania/contactus.asp
authorsmania/site/contact_us.asp

Plus, would you ever trust a company that steals images from its competitors?

Writersmania.net is a fraud....

Hi.....

These are some great tips for those who could use some more specific advice, tips and information about how-to write a thought-provoking essays or dissertations...I used another site named AuthorsMania, papers produced by them are all from scratch, and there is no possibility of plagiarism. They wrote a superb essay for me that attempts to construct a clear argument based on the evidence of the text provided. I would definitely recommend this site to my friends.

authorsmania.com

Thanks

Henry, f- you, spammer.

authorsmania.com = completely fraudulent, spamming site

Authorsmania.com is owned by Hanif Muhammad (AKA, "Henry295") from Pakistan. It's no surprise that "Henry295" is also from Pakistan.

Oh perfect, that's actually where I prefer my papers to be written from. I'm so glad I was able to find his spam. I now see both sites are closed anyway.
