Prospect Solution lying to their writers, they are a scam....

My name is Hafiz Asad Hamid. I achieved my Chemical Engineering Degree from Loughborough University in United Kingdom. Since graduating, I have been working as an academic writer. Browsing the internet, I came across Prospectsolution.com. Their website looked legit so I decided to apply to their freelance writing program. They didn't take too long to approve my application. I completed a few small-scale projects for them successfully to get an opportunity to secure my first dissertation level order. I submitted the work on time to avoid penalties and I also amended the paper regularly based on client's requirements. However, when the payment time arrived, prospectsolution.com started to make lame excuses like the client has been injured in an accident and they are unable to get in touch with him. I am pretty sure, they charge their customer before delivering the work. The website still owes me a lot of money and I have requested them several times, which they ignore bluntly. Can anyone help me on this matter.?

Regards

Stop working for the kind of company that will hire you as a writer.

What does it mean?

Assalam-o-Alaikum WR WB

Brother Hafiz, this is wrong perception about a company of world repute.

I have been working with Prospect Solution since 3/4 months, it is witnessed that they are a company of very decent system.

I completed my first brief in December 2011 and duly received payment from them in January 2012. I completed 2 more briefs in January which will be rewarded at the end of current month.

It is a fact that they are very punitive, they do not hesitate to cancel your low quality brief submission and you need to follow all the provided guidelines to secure your rewards and good status.

You also need to follow their guidelines for placing bids:
1- Do not place too many bids in a day.
2- Do not place bids when you are completing a brief.

It is a worthy experience overall.

Dear Mehboob,

As I said earlier, I received payments for the first few projects I did with them. However, they are penalising me for something I have not done. Its not my fault if their client is injured and holding my payment doesnt make any sense at all. I submitted the brief on time and I made the amendments to meet client's needs. They accepted my work but refused to pay the amount I deserve.

I hope you get what I was trying to say.

Regards

Will? He told the company had hired him.

Well, this is an exceptional case which appears to be contrary to their systematic follow up. Hope the concern will be resolved soon. :-)

I shared my overall experience with them.

Anyhow, are you writing for any other legitimate companies?

Wasalam,

Mehboob Hassan

I've been working with prospect solution for the last 3 years. Apart from their punitive tendency, I have'nt found a single reason to stop working for them. Once a dissertation of mine was "stuck" in the process of approval, which took longer than a month's period, but eventually they did compensate me for my work.

HIGHLY recommended company!

Great.

Simbiz ... do you write for any other legitimate company?

Thanks very much.

What are their average CPPs? I noticed that most companies are now stuck at $10 which was not the case three years ago. In fact, I suspect a good number of 'legitimate companies which claim to only hire native speakers are now outsourcing their work to cheap inexperienced writers using other websites which they do not openly admit association with. So for example, company X will write on its website that both its writers and clients use the same website and therefore its compensation and hiring policies are open to scrutiny. They will even have a page on which one can apply as a writer and the conditions will be indicative of a very strict recruitment policy. I actually tried applying for one but was told that I had to have a first class (Hons.) degree from a recognized UK university. For a while, I believed them until a complaint was posted on the forum by one of its clients (in fact several came up later) that one of the products from the company was written by someone with a very poor command of the English language and little knowledge of the subject. Could such a person be a holder first class degree from a recognized university? definitely not. And so I am sure that what they write on the site is meant to convince clients that their papers will be done by competent writer while in fact majority of the work is taken to another site that is unknown to the poor clients. IMO I think this is the worst time to join the writing industry and I would even discourage anyone who wants to do so. When I joined a few years ago, my first employer was Uvocorp and I got a minimum of $8 per page. My next employer was essaywriters.net[DND*] which had even higher compensation rates thanks to its barbaric treatment of writers which had seen a good number of them fleeing. I remember there was a time in EW I would not touch an order whose CPP was less than $14 per page (that is right) but both sites now hardly pay anything above $5 a page which is a pittance. This means anyone joining now will have to contend with those low CPPs.

That sounds very typical of many of these companies, and I only know of one or two exceptions. They have 1001 ways to rip off their writers, believe me, and most of them will do it any way they can.

Just file complaints about them with the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission.

It's all business so you have no grounds to file a complaint

If it comforts you to think so. It's a rotten and corrupt business, and it does things that are illegal and unethical. Oh there are plenty of grounds all right.

Why would this thought comfort me? I am just a disillusioned writer who recognizes this as one of the shortcomings of the free market.

Be that as it may, I do not passively accept these things, but will always fight back in any way I can.

Ask for evidence of the wrongdoing. Whenever I am forced to penalize a writer, I make sure to offer him a review of the paper that is in question. Once the client complaint is compared to the review completed by the QAD, there is definitive proof of your shortcomings as a writer. That simple investigation should be enough to clear the air and show you that there were really problems with your writing, research, and presentation (if any).

@Cite: That's not going to be a source of income that will get you anywhere but with a stable of terrified writers who can't get work anywhere else that doesn't also fine them.

Fining writers is not an accepted and legit practice in this industry. Neither is doxxing clients. You can't just pick and choose when it comes to ethical practice. Go big or go home, as they say.

So... for anyone else paying attention: as referenced in another post, Cite has learned one thing from copying other posters on this forum: he has ended his policy of not allowing writers to communicate directly with customers.

Something he has NOT learned is how to stop his unethical, draconian plundering tactics re: his own company's writers.

By responding to Cite, even in censure, I feel that we, as other posters, are helping him to learn. I don't mean learn English in a comparatively authentic idiom; there's no hope there. What I mean is, he is learning how to LOOK legit. He isn't legit. May I suggest that we all stop helping him out?

I know it's hard to resist.

PEACE OUT

The company itself has a confusing image on the internet. Since the company carries the same name as a marketing office, people looking for jobs tend to get mixed up and end up working in areas they were not expecting to work in. There are some people who apply for jobs hoping to become academic writers, and they end up as marketers instead. There are those hoping to become marketers, who get hired to write essays. All because the company names are the same. Well, I hope somebody calls the attention of the owners of these companies to the confusion the company names provide and one or both of them make a move to fix this situation to help the people apply for the correct jobs.
