There are many essaywriting sites now writers should beware of. I am a victim of 1stclassprojects.com
I hope you have made your research to find out if academicessays.com and absoluteessays.com are not owned by the same owner of 1stclassprojects.com?

I know they operate from over 5 online sites.
One need to be careful of these online frauds.

Absolute WritersI have been writing for allwriting.net. I never really worked on their dissertations and other term papers, but I have written around 20 articles for their supposed blog site. The pay is $4 for every 300 words. Considering that I'm from the Philippines, this is already huge.

My problem started when I was expecting to receive my first payment on the 15th (as mentioned in their website). The day had passed, and still, I hadn't received any word from their staff. I decided to send them an inquiry through their Contact Us page.

A certain Amber (or Rachel) told me that they couldn't send any payment as they haven't approved any term paper for me (in other words, there wasn't any academic paper to write on). Well, anyway, I told her that there seems to be misunderstanding, as I am expecting payment for the short articles, not for the dissertations or whatever.

She then e-mailed me back and instructed me to contact Victor (the one who really communicated to me early on) since it seems to be his department. He was allegedly out for three hours. Now almost a day has passed, and I haven't heard anything from him. I keep receiving proposed orders in my mail, though. As much as I want to work on them, I just can't, not until I can receive any payment at their end or even hear something from them.

I'm really, really sad and anxious since I've heard a lot of stories about the site being a scam. I just need the money so much, especially now that I'm preparing for my wedding. :(

Crickey, I feel for ya' mate. XD I hope it's all just some glitch. If you've been working for them for a long time now and have gotten paid several times before, then I think there's hope yet.

There is hardly any writer who is not a victim of this company and its owner, that international criminal, Peter Richardson. Some of the victims have moved on and I am not in touch with them any more. It is surprising how this man happily functions even after plenty of negative publicity.

Take more jobs Cheap. Pick jobs with long deadlines if possible. That way, if you do have to threaten them for payment, then you'll have some bargaining room. They won't want to risk you not doing your assigned projects b/c of non-payment. Get the payment caught up and then i'd recommend leaving.

Hi, everyone,

Finally, I received a reply from Victor. There seems to be a misunderstanding about the payment method and terms. For now, I will comply just so I also don't jeopardize my work and the opportunity. Upon thinking, I realize that if ever I end up losing something in the end, it's not going to be really big, which means it's something that I can take. I can just start where I left and then move on.

elaborate

Exact!y what he meant. They will not pay you, as a writer. They will not deliver a qquality based paper, to a chint. Both of you will be treated like trash by the company. you will work hard for them alone. Expect nothing in return because you will be disappointed in the end.

Don't all third world writing companies stiff their writers? It is part of their game.These companies always say, it is the writer's reason he is not paid. Shoddy work means fines, penalties, and refunds. Which leads me to ask the companies, why did your hirethem in the first place? They tested, interviewed, and reviewed the transcript of these applicants. What led to their hiring? don't it the company's fault then? In which case, the writeis should get paid because THR didn't do the job of screening the applicant properly. As for the writer, do not kid yourself. You knew you weren't qualified for the job, yet you expect to get paid?
