freelancewritingcenter.com is FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD.

This is a fraudulent company who cheat writers and follows the same way as essaywriters.net[DND*].
They promise good money for your work, but cheat you at the end of the every month

Even if they cannot find so popular issue as "plagiarism", they find other methods and ways to accuse a writer in low quality and postpone payment.

I disagree, marada. They actually pay me every week. Why were you not paid?

I have a completely different experience. But that does not mean they are not Fraud. In this writing business I am seeing same organization is playing differently with different people. So cannot say for sure that they will pay you on time.

Thanks

Upon information and belief, freelancewritingcenter.com is the property of an "Orlando James" who claims to be located in the American state of Georgia, yet has ties to Ukraine. Freelance writing center is the back-door for the following consumer-end sites:

Freelance Writing Centerarticles4seo.com
customessaymeister.com
dreamessays.com
solidpapers.com

------------------------------

"American" address:

orlando_james2000@yahoo
James Orlando
Palm Drive 23
Decatur, GA 30322
US
+1.3404883098
Fax: +1.3105642007

I find it interesting that, in different venues, they have used at least 3 different versions of this address:

12 Palm Drive
20 Palm Drive
23 Palm Drive

------------------------------

The real Ukrainian address:

Freelancewritingcenter.com
10A Heroyev Stalingrada st.
korp2 ap 19
Kiev, 04210
Ukraine

Hey rusty, how does this information posted by WB regarding freelancewritingcenter's dubious location affect you? (you were asking about it in another thread, right?)

Rusty asked for information. I provided the information at my disposal. I answer public questions when I think that my answer may help not only the original questioner, but also future visitors who may find the information helpful on ethical, tax-related, and/or legal protection grounds.

As usual, I bring the helpful information, and you bring the useless slop. How about you stop trying to ruin every thread with your psychotic stalking?

EW, the info about this company's location leaves me feeling totally unfazed.

and, I still have no idea what WB does for a living.

Err..

1.) I'm not a psychotic stalker
2.) I did not attempt to prescribe medication
3.) I still think that someone needs to take her meds

EW, the info about this company's location leaves me feeling totally unfazed.

That's what I thought. I think I did a few orders for freelancewritingcenter before but it was through another member here who had an account there. Since my guy (or gal as the case may be) did pay me, I'm betting that the company is ok.

and, I still have no idea what WB does for a living.

Didn't you use the search function? I think she claimed to be an author and philanthropist somewhere. LOL! ^_^

Well, good for you. If you want to work for potentially phantom companies against which you will likely have zero legal standing and/or protections in the event of a dispute (including undeserved wage-docking), more power to you! However, most freelance writers can't afford to roll the dice, and it is those people who will appreciate the information that I posted.

and, I still have no idea what WB does for a living.

I already showed you how to use the search engine to its fullest potential.

I'm betting that the company is ok.

Care to quote where I claimed anything to the contrary? Again, why do you think that posting FACTS about the company constitutes a wrongful action on my part?

WB-- don't worry about me, I'll be fine. is it true that you are an author/philanthropist?
WritersBeware  
Sep 05, 2009 | #13
Am I an author? Yes. As for being a "philanthropist," that's EW's ever-so-clever attempt at humor at the expense of me stating that I post helpful information to actually-brace yourself-help people. Providing selfless help is such a foreign (no pun intended) concept to him that he just can't wrap his head around it.

brace yourself-help people.

By leading them to think that they have no other choice but *********? That's some help. ^_^

The only person who ever mentions ET is YOU. The only time that I ever address ET is AFTER you initiate. So, if you would shut your trap, you wouldn't have to argue with yourself (or continue stalking me).

But why do they? Is it because they get too greedy or lazy to care?

Speaking from personal experience (as a one-time FWC writer), they pay peanuts but
1) Admin was always very nice and highly professional
2) they never lied (to me) about their nationality
3) they did not fine writers and were always very encouraging

I know nothing of their client-end sites, though, and do not know whether or not they are as honest with customers/potential clients.

One major problem with FWC - indiscriminate hiring; they have plenty of really badwriters on their list.

True. The bad writers have emerged due to their need to keep a full roster of writers due to their revolving door of writers. Legitimate writers do not stay long due to salary issues. They had an exodus prior to the pandemicand right now are having to deal with the remaining nightmare list of inefficient writers as the ordersslowly begin to pickup. I knowthey will findit difficult to get any good writers at this point. most have struck outon their own due to the non-release of their wages during the global lockdown.

One of the problems I have with this company is that they claim to have a flexibly work schedule. Any writer worth his salt will know that this is not the case. The schedule is dictated by the client, who even tries to get the paper earlier, but never later than the deadline. Any writer who asks for an extension on the deadline knows that it will reflect badly upon his work ethic and the possibility of working again with the same client becomes remote. There is nothing flexible about a writer's work schedule. The deadline is set in stone. Sure you work at your leisure and from wherever you wish to. That is all the work benefit you get from the job. The "flexible" deadline is false. That is the one thing that cannot be changed to benefit the writer.

I know nothing about the company; but when companies say "flexible work schedule," they obviously mean that writers can choose for themselves when to work and what projects to take. I don't think they're suggesting that the deadlines of projects are "flexible" on the writer's side.

Believe it or not, there are some writers who believe that it is the student's deadline that is movable, rather than the work hours of the writer. Since that was not specified in the company ad, the third world writers tend to think in the former way. They can move the student's deadline. Which is why they keep asking fo deadline extensions, change of deadlines, or deadline allowances. It is almost impossible to explain to them that they misunderstood what "flexible work schedules" means. When they realize that they will not get a movable deadline, they tend to get into a very cross mood. They end up reassigning the order in the process. That is why I believe that the deadline portion needs to be spelled out along with the "flexible work schedule" reference.

I have a very hard time believing that anybody who hopes to work as an academic writer actually thinks that an advertisement about work with a "flexible work schedule" means that it's the deadlines specified for projects themselves that are "flexible." As a practical matter, though, most deadlines set by clients do have cushions on the clients' end of things, for obvious reasons. Even the best academic writers in this business might sometimes ask a client whether a deadline can be extended, but whenever we do that, we also make it clear that we can still meet the original deadline, if necessary, and we never wait until shortly before the original deadline to ask. The most common reason we might sometimes inquire about a possible deadline extension is simply that we're trying to accommodate another client's need for a rush project on very short notice. If the first client indicates that there's no cushion on the deadline, we have no choice but to prioritize that prior deadline and let the second client know that the rush request can't be accommodated. However, much more often than not, the first client responds "Sure, no problem...how much more time do you need?" or "I can give you up to three more days" or something else along those lines.

Yes, I understand why you may some doubts about my statement and explanation. It is mind-boggling the stupidity of some people who work in this industry. Mostly, these are newbies who think that have to just write any paper. They understand nothing about the job requirements, the actual skills involved, and the client satisfaction that is needed to gain a client base.

You have delievered a clear explanation of how the deadline system works and what the flexible work schedule means. I applaud your professionalism and your ability to meet the client deadlines at all times. However, these up and coming writers have no idea about these sorts of things. Mostly because they are only looking for a quick way to make a buck, and essay or academic writing is the quickest way they can think to do that. Mostly because the third rate writing companies intentionally make the work demands and writer skill requirements vague.

I do not blame the writers for their confusion about the flexible work schedule. Most of these companies do not do an actual or oral interview where the work requirements are spelled out. They just hire the writers in the same way McDonald's makes their burgers. Low prices with little to no uniform quality standards for their burgers. The companies are in it for the cheap fix but huge profit, so they could care less what their writer's actual understanding of the job is.
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.
