Kpwriting seems dodgy (still waiting for reply to my application)

I submitted my application to kpwriting over two weeks ago, but still haven't received a reply; even though, they said they'll get back to me in 24 hours. This just seems dodgy to me. If they're not considering my application, then what on earth are they doing with my information? Does anyone have any info on this site?

Ummm....you gave it to them?

And how would they give you back the info you voluntarily submitted to them? And how do you know that they did not delete it?

Best that you not apply to ANY site - after all, they are going to steal your info, assume your identity, take out credit cards in your name, destroy your credit and, who knows, you might eventually find yourself being carted off to jail.

Is it true? KPwriting is academia-research?

Good one. But I think the poster should confirm whether the company has actually deleted the info.

The poster has no way of knowing whether or not the company has deleted the info. I don't think you understand what;s going on here at all....

I hope the poster did not take my 'advice' seriously because I was just kidding. How would you do that? the email would probably read: "I am Zandermus and I would like you to confirm that you deleted an email I sent you a few weeks ago........" c'mon!!

Oh. It was a joke. Hah.

Thanks guys, but the point is not if I can get my info back because that is ridiculous! The point is, are they dodgy or not? If they really are ar then that explains a whole lot. Who knows maybe they have some low quality writer now claiming to be me with my qualifications.

We know it's ridiculous. That's why we were making fun of it.

Did you ever consider that maybe they got your information, read your writing samples, and decided not to hire you because they didn't like your writing?

And how exactly would another writer work for them "using your qualifications"? The whole point of qualifications is to get hired; if the company wanted to hire some guy they would have no need to pretend he had your "qualifications."

and what would be the point for having two websites for the same system?
the shortage of writers has not been observed so far

Joke Felix! I know that's impossible. But, hey 24 hours has long ago expired and as far as I understood the wording of the conformation email it stated that they'd let me know if I was accepted or not. Therefore, surely they'd let me know either way.

You're probably better off. Almost all these essay writing companies are a scam and treat their writers poorly. All you have to do is read the threads on this website to know that.

Yeah I have been monetoring this forum closely for quite a while now, even though I just signed up. I do write for some companies, but need some more cash "hey life is becoming more expensive". I kept coming across kpwriting in my searches, it was always in the ads and such like. That's why after this rather dodgy experience with them I want to know if they're reputable or not. So I can know if it's worth persuing what happened to the application I filled out.

Well, obviously not. I'm letting you know that I would never hire you as a writer based off of your posts, though. I probably wouldn't bother responding to an employment request/application you made, either.


Nope. Just the ones that hire writers that can't really write. Like you.


I feel really sorry for your customers. The companies you work for are almost certainly going to screw you over in the end, and I'm going to laugh a little.

Uh Felix, what problem do you have with me? I thought the whole point was to be helpful in this forum. But, you're being abusive for a reason I am unable to detect. Damnit just tell me if this company is crap or not, that's all I wanted to know.

You are working in a capacity for which you are unqualified, and then complaining of "dodgy" practices when really the only thing you've experienced is a lack of response. Not only is your English not up to academic standards, but you're an idiot. That is the problem I have with you.


The point is to help protect customers and writers from bad business practices. Hiring you at all is a bad business practice. As you are not a legitimate writer or customer, this site was not intended to help you at all.


Don't get all cranky, crankypants.

Ah but Felix you're being cranky :] You have no evidence to make the claims you're making. I am quite capable of writing in an academic capacity and do it quite well according to the customers I have satisfied. I wanted to know about this company; therefore, I asked. The name of this forum is essayscam. Therefore, my question is quite valid don't you think. I know my skills as a freelance writer are most probably not as good as yours, but I'm not incompitent as you suggest. Now apologise before I spend the night crying myself to sleep!

I wish wb would come and give more info on this company; for, she knows it all.

Really?


This semi-colon is completely wrong.


This is a sentence fragment. Starting a sentence with "therefore" is tricky business--it can be done in a way that i grammatically correct, but you aren't anywhere close.


The fact that you misspelled this word is pretty funny.


Wrong on the semi-colon, wrong on the comma, and close to outright wrong on the "for."

Post again, and I'm sure I can provide you with more evidence.

A question does not end with a period, and you omitted the second comma.


Why do I bother if people won't take the time to do a simple search?

kpwriting.com = Ukrainian ripoff site

Please leave my punctuation alone. My software isn't compatible with this site. So you use a voice activated program and see what happens. Try it then get back to me. wb: I searched but could come up with nothing otherwise I would not have asked, I'm not a complete moron.

Zandermus
why do you ask whether they are legitimate or not if they are not getting back to you? this question would be more rational if they did, as at this point you have nothing to lose and have the time to concentrate your efforts elsewhere

You are right. I just wanted to know if it was worth persuing or not.

i think it's not worth of "persuing"

Thanks Smirk...
Pursue! Did it come out right this time? If not I'm chucking this voice reading thing through the window! It spells things the way you pronounce them and it relies on the tone of your voice for punctuation.

You're welcome for the help, a&*ole.

This comma should be a semi-colon, voice activated or not.

Why Felix? Did you try it?

Wb, what was the last word of your post? I can't figure it out.

If I write in microsoft word can I copy it here? Then I wouldn't have this problem and I will stop receiving abuse for something that is not my fault.

Even though you were rude wb I really do appreciate the info.

I know you are older and well established Felix, that's why I appreciate what you say and that's why I want to find a way to fix it even if it is just for this site.

When I type normally with my own two hands things work out alot better even though jaws is still a real pain.

But, I got what I wanted. Kpwriting is ar and it is rubbish, a scam from Ukraine. Thank you.

the voice-recognition software doesn't have a spellchecker?
what is it? an add-on for browser? plz post the link here i'd like to see it

You have to buy it. It's part of the jaws package. Friends of mine told me you can download a cracked version but I'm not sure how. I'll ask them if you like?

no, thanks, i don't need help in pirating the software, especially when there's a trial version provided


i've checked the jaws website - it has a spellchecker


if you can type normally, why do use the software for visually impaired people?

Smirk:
I am visually impaired. I normally use jaws for working in word and reading my books. But, this site won't allow me to use jaws 9.0 when typing in the edit box. I do not know if it is the layout or something. So I use 10 IMB which is a voice activated program to write on this site. It came as part of my jaws package when I ordered all my software. But, it is not very good is it? What happens with jaws is that if you type an a it says a and you can go read back what you wrote. But with 10 IMB it relies on your voice and how you pronounce things. I have no way of going back to read what I wrote. I'm sure this is all off topic and I don't want to get in trouble. So if you want to know more about the things us blind people use to get on with in this technological age please email me.

Believe it or not, you have to be careful about these online writing companies that ask you to apply online and/or attach your resume to your application. Once you do that and you don't hear from them again, you most likely applied for a job at a scam company. The real purpose for the existence of the website is to entice innocent people searching for an online job to submit their personal data. Consider it a form of data gathering with the full consent of the person. You were after all applying for a job with them and your application cannot be processed without these information.

You should have investigated the reputation of this company before undertaking any application process with them. You can never be too sure these days when it comes to identity theft. These jerks are getting more creative by the day in terms of getting people to willingly surrender their data in the hopes of receiving something positive in exchange for it.

I wouldn't expect that entities intending to collect people's ID info fraudulently would be doing that through scam hiring applications for writers, simply because that's such a limited pool of prospective victims.

They are dodgy indeed.

I'd be careful when giving out information, even when submitting a resume. However, in response to the OP's question (re submitting a resume and it's been 2 weeks while the company stated they would reply within 24 hours), I would also be a little nervous. However, if 2 weeks has passed, you can safely assume they didn't select you. Since we have no way to know the quality of the information you sent, it may be that your writing style/quality wasn't a fit. However, I'd be more concerned that they said they'd let you know something in 24 hours and you didn't hear anything --even a reply to let you know you aren't a fit is better than silence.

I don't know anything about the company in question, but I'd like to know the outcome. Did they ever reply?

I believe that, at the time the OP wrote the post, he did not realize that these writing companies actually pass around the resume of the applicants within their circle of companies. Each circle needs to have a specific number of writers on staff. Whoever falls under the required writer count gets the applicant. It is that company which will contact the applicant for further application processing. The writer will be surprised and wonder where the company got his information. Do not look any further. It was the application sent to the first company that made its way around the umbrella companies. I bet the client eventually got a response, just not from the company he originally applied to.

KP Writing, as far as I know, is a registered company name for a specific independent writer. This person specializes in all sorts of writing services and has had success at his online writing services company. It does not appear that he has a pool of writers working for him either. He is an independent writer, similar to Freelancewriter, who works for various companies and individuals, depending on their writing needs. I sincerely doubt that he is the same KP Writing being mentioned in this post.
