fraud galore at academia-research.com

you are also nowhere near the money, WRT, if you worked for academia-research.com and didn't know that on the "my profile" screen, there is a button that says "turn off order requests." did you even work for them?

twits. a troll and a stunt man. useless.

Hey, Rusty, the clock is ticking on your A. account. Poor baby.

Where did i say I didnt know that? Let me explain something, when customers specifically ask for you, the order goes into your current order panel, whether turned off or on; when Alexei, Sean and Linda know that few will deliver as fast as you, they tend to ignore your request and keep pressing you to take on orders, to the extent of assigning them despite your having indicated otherwise in your profile. Don't customers ask for you Rustyironchains?

By the way, their new panel is `prettier' than the previous one. Hated the blue one most of all (or weren't you around then?).

Try to make it to First Class Rusty, as I heard you are stuck at Premium. Only a handful of us ever make it :)

LMAO! This senseless statement comes from a guy who has to desperately SPAM a referrer link in a message board.

By the way, Rusty, you haven't addressed why you lied about being a "writer" for Academon.

(sigh) I can only imagine how seriously they took you.

I guess if there's one lesson here, it's that WB is a crab, and I'm above it all.

then again, I siced this wild sweat-hog on my innocent employer; lol.

maybe they will fine me the 2 dollars WB charges for passage over the bridge ;)

anyway, I really hope you do have this massive power, WB, over my destiny. that would indeed be a mind-blowing shock, well worth all this pain in the *** of drowning out your playground yammering.

Dropped your pacifier again?


I look forward to receiving any and all information and evidence at your disposal.

Within 24 hrs you will have it. Rusty, give them a heads up. Admin people are willing to talk. You may give them the initials F.A. and C.M.

1) what, your employer, nagging you? how dare they, right? this is too much for an employer to do? maybe you should start your own business, if this is your attitude...

2) unethical, in this industry? seriously, what's the problem here? your employer save you some work?

3) too many orders; please. you only take on what you can take on; the rest go back in the bidding pool. whining about too many orders; really?

4) they always, 100%, reverse this; all you have to do is bring it to their attention.

way to sound like a big snob about being First Class, btw. it's just seniority, I'm sure. re: your more personal comments, of course I have repeat customers; I block them with the profile setting, and pick up their orders. these are all very lame reasons for quitting... jmho...


this is senseless; and, why is writer in quotation marks?

I've been staying out of this very much on purpose, but there really are companies that do not tolerate this behavior, much less promote it. Ethics is not an all-or-none deal, and while the ethics of the industry as a whole might be questionable, there are certainly companies that are far more egregious offenders. Telling a writer directly that plagiarism is OK as long as the customer doesn't notice is indefensible.

For the record, I do not agree that the level of response being directed at you (rusty) is warranted, but you're weakening your position by defending this type of activity.

Perhaps, you should learn how to actually read posts before responding?

You falsely claimed to be a "writer" for Academon. You lied. Academon has no writers.

The Academon banter will soon be irrelevant, as your account already has one foot in the grave. (Remember, after your account goes bye-bye, don't forget to repeat your claim that I have no credibility.)


If you were aware of all of this guy's practices, you'd probably change your opinion.

Don't pick and chose the points you respond to. Primary reasons, as stated:
1) Alexei told me to ignore plagiarism found on an order they'd assigned me from a previous writer, as the customer did not detect it

2) they repeatedly harrassed me about sending mail to customers from my London address, so to establish that they had a presence in the country

Some may find that ok, but I do not.

By the way, I have the screenshots and will send them to both WB and info@essayscam.org tomorrow.


He started with the attacks, not me and I won't take any twisting my words around without responding.


No, they are not lame reasons. Unless asking me (repeatedly) to send off packages from my home address to customers, is lame (took 6 months of NO and quitting before they finally got the message). Or is being told to turn a blind eye to plagiarism, a stupid reason to quit as well?


Snob!!! Really??? Do you believe that being promoted to Premium or First Class by those illiterates means anything at all? Tell them you are leaving and if they really want you to stay, they send you a Congrats, First Class email. I made premium in my first month there. Does that mean anything? Yes. It simply means that they do not take the time to really evaluate writers. General, Premium or First Class = nothing and certainly not a cause for snobbery or anything to write home about.

I'm the ace in the hole of several prominent companies, a successful published author, and I am shopping Mercedes on what I have earned backhanded in this lame and corrupt, unsinkable shadow industry. you have no idea who I am or my practices, but you've had your fun; now it's time for me to put the hammer down on your nerdy little game. you have nothing. you are not on the money. I am an ace, and you can't shake me from anyone. I have no fear of you; you are nothing at all to me. you are just another spiteful, jealous internet liar, trying to drag me down and shake me off of my money. thanks for the brief laugh; I have a lot of orders to do. it's busy...

Yes, Mr. Money Bags, you're filthy rich. We know. You're also an "ace."





You're an "ace" at spinning guano-that's about it.


If defending honest business practices, protecting consumers/writers, revealing countless scams, and making people who question my credibility and/or refer to me as a "liar" eat their words, then yes-I am "spiteful."


Jealous of you? Please-I could out-write you in my sleep. You seem to think that your corny style and self-loathing make you a "cool cat." Sorry, you're not. You are nothing more than a coward and a shameless, paid hack who defends, condones, and promotes fraud for that almighty, dirty dollar.


Hey, Ace, can you quote a lie in one of my posts? (Yeah, I didn't think so. Who's the liar?)

you only think you have credibility because you have been on me since day one repeating everything negative I said about AR. which makes you a parrot, too. ssshh. go quote your own posts.

Haven't found your pacifier yet, baby?

don't worry, I can still be your source.

Unfortunately for you, my "drug of choice" is scam-busting.

TO WRI

They let me do assignments but when I asked them if I could get my payment via PayPal they deactivated my account and accused me of plagiarism. I told them that I well cited paragraphs/references. How could they accuse me of plagiarism when in fact they are the ones who told the writers to ignore it...

I told them that I worked for several days doing the assignments and they have no rights to deactivate my account just like that. They let me accept assignments but told me about plagiarism right after I asked for my payment.

I am a new writer but I still want to get the money owe me. Anyone who could help me to get back on them would be much appreciated. They are so mean.

I want to forward them your post and tell them how could they accused me of such thing when they told you to ignore it.

please contact me at shygirl0007 @ gmail (remove the spaces)

Thank you so much!!!!!!!

The question is, did you or did you not plagiarise? If you plagiarised, they can withhold payment.

They did not tell me that I could plagiarise. They assigned me an order which had been botched up one of their writers. When I checked the write up, I discovered that the other writer had, indeed, plagiarised. When I told them about it, they told me to ignore it and just do the revisions which the customer had requested.

Supposing that they deactivated your account and withheld payment on an order you had plagiarised - they are acting within their rights. If you plagiarised one order and they withheld payment on several orders, they are definitely robbing you.

Could you please post the order they accused you of plagiarising here?

I accuse you all of being total crybabys.

i didnt.

they even let me take more orders.When I emailed them about my preferred method of payment as I didnt receive the payment for my 1st order

they told me that i plaigarised my 2nd and 3rd orders. They why did they give me the 4th and 5th assignments?

Too bad i deleted the folder as I was so upset then.

I don't believe that there is a relationship between your stating your preferred payment method and their deactivating your account. Academia-Research is not good but, it does not operate the way you have described. Furthermore, why did you email your preferred payment method? You are supposed to enter that info on the site itself.

Again, I am not saying you plagiarised but there's something you aren't telling us.


Academia-Research does not check assignments, whether for quality or originality. The complaints from customers might have come in after they assigned you the 4th and 5th orders.


Did you delete all 5 assignments?

I entered my preferred method(It was PAyPal even from the beginning) but I still didn't get my money that was why I emailed them to remind them about it


The 2nd customer even told me that his teacher said it's nice. The third customer told me that it was perfect ( I should have saved them or Printscreen the message board).


The entire folder as I was so upset. I worked for several days to get them done!!!! Who would not get upset about it?

I think somebody's working for AR here....He must be the owner himself

Chocolate - when working with Academia-Research and all those other awful ones, you have to keep records:
1) Screen shots of the order board
2) Screen shots of your payment screen
3) NEVER delete the papers until after payment


You should get paid for these two, at the very least.

Try writing to them again and cc vendors@swreg.org (their payment processor). Swreg cannot issue your payment but the more they come across complaints from writers/customers, the less likely they are to continue their association with Academia-Research.

Yes, you are definitely right, I joined the academia research and indeed it is a fraud. a big scam. first few pay, they are going to let you feel that they pay their writers but after months of working with them, things change. They keep the good projects to themselves because we have verified that, mary, marilyn, susan, kim, juliet, tim and other operators who pretend to be support persons are actually writers who get to choose the big orders. the orders not chosen are trashed / slammed into the "available orders" for all newbies to scavenge.

ACADEMIA RESEARCH.COM IS A SCAM.

My posts are clearly demonstrative of my opposition to Academia Research's practices. However, your post does not establish that they have scammed you. First of all, whether or not their support personnel double as writers, is meaningless. How is that evidence of fraud? Secondly, most companies do not allocate large orders to newbies. Thirdly, how do you know that the orders in question were not picked up by 1st class or premium writers?

I am not defending Academia-Research and never will but am saying that your post does not establish that they scammed you and the points you've raised are meaningless.

they didn't want you as a writer; stop being such a baby, and take some English lessons.

Emjey, how did you ever come up with the 7-character rule?

This is not good English: "We can all have the reasons in the world to stay not being fit but the thing is, we are just making excuses so as not to take extra work and physical activities. Moving a little more and eating lesser than usual amount of food we eat, would surely make us fit. So stay fit!"

This is AR's problem ... they hire just about anyone.

Just thought I should weigh in. I've been working for Academia-Research for quite a while now. I worked with them for about 3 years now (on and off). I will admit that after sending me checks 3-4 times, they skipped one check; they still owe me 346$, because the check MYSTERIOUSLY got lost on its way, and somehow could not be cancelled and reissued (that is why I stopped working there).

However, I've started working for them again (starting this December) as I needed some extra money, and I've discovered that their services have improved quite a bit when it comes to taking care of their writers.

I've changed the preferred method of payment to "Wire Transfer" and usually only transfer money after it has exceeded 400 dollars, as it saves me the 20$ commission their payment company cuts from the amount I've earned. So far they payment has been timely and good.

I thought I should join the forum to say this so that you have both sides of the story. However, please do not think that I will not post if they do something unfair to me (I won't delete my account here, just in case).

Are you freaking kidding me? You knowingly work for Ukrainian ripoff artists who take their business expense out of your check? You are not responsible for their payment transaction fees.

Of course I know they try to rip their writers off (everyone wants to make a quick buck at the expense of someone else), that is why I choose the "save/economize" option and wait till I get more than 400$ in my account.

I "knowingly" work for them because by the end of the day, I make much needed money for myself. What do you suggest I do?

I would honestly look forward to a better paying job that offers a diverse topics to write on for me to choose.

Can't even imagine telling our writers that we will deduct the transfer fee from the money they are owed :) Aren't we supposed to cover business expenses?

WRT, that's your business ethic, however, not everyone is as ethical as you or your company are. Like I asked, what other choice do I have? Not make money at all? Or make money that is substantially lower than what the company is making, but which helps me nonetheless?

I understand your dilemma but, my point is simple: find another company. You should not passively submit to exploitation and, most definitely, should not be assisting these people in perpetuating their fraud ...

Another thing - why should ANY QUALIFIED WRITER - any educated person - accept the peanuts these people are handing out to their writers? Some orders go for $4 and $5. How is that acceptable? I'm not even going to mention fines ...

Which company would you recommend? Rather, which company do you work for, which you said had higher ethical standards than Academia-Research? I'd gladly work for them if they pay me more.

Oh, and here's what they said about the 20$ not being deducted for a payment of more than 400$

Earn 400 without paying off commissions!

Dear Writers

Academia Research has got good news for you.
Starting from March 1st, all the Wire Transfer payments amounting to $400 and over, will be spared the $20 transferring commission by the billing company.
Earning at least $400 for a certain period now means you won't lose $20 per payment. From now on this commission will be covered by us.

Please bear in mind these conditions:
On the payment date you need to accumulate no less than $400 after all fines or debts being deducted from your earnings.
Certain banks may charge you an additional commission which isn't compensated for by Academia-Research.
We hope this little step will be motivating and profitable for you.

Best regards,
Administration
Academia-Research.com

Not true - the billing company (SWreg) charges $20, irrespective of the sum.

Errr, I just told you that my experience has been different. I rejoined in December (rather went back as I never really deactivated my account) and ever since then I haven't had any commission cut from my paycheck as I've opted to get payment only after I have more than 400$ to transfer.

Also, could you please answer my earlier query?

Oh wait, I think I misunderstood you. If you read further, you will see that they (Academia-Research) say that THEY will pay the commission owed to SWREG for any payment that is above 400$.

Would love to but recommendations aren't allowed. I know that some find this frustrating but if you think about it, you'll find that this policy functions to protect customers and writers from spammers and scammers. Also helps prevent the forum from turning into a PR and marketing site ...

Not even through PM?

Yup, I really DO need the money. And as a writer who REALLY takes the work seriously, I would love to go to a company that would take better care of me, as I feel that the standard of work that I give to my customers is far above what others at academia are giving.

you obviously haven't worked for them in a while-- AR has very competitive rates. a flood of new UK orders has really boosted the payouts.

they are a far cry from the EW spinoff people take them for-- it's a shame people who don't even work for them are allowed to post incorrect CPP rates.
