Term Paper Topics and Its Network Have Failed to Pay Me For A Year - Avoid Them



AmonsEssays  2 | 190  
Apr 17, 2012 | #1
Kim owes me $200,000. Some of this is for work done, and some of this is as a partner in Term Paper Topics.

I began working for her last year around January. She seemed up and up, having a good reputation on EssayScam and elsewhere. I found few negative comments about her, certainly none of which stood up to scrutiny. I did a lot of work for her for a few months, and although she paid me late, I finally did get about $2000.

After this came months of excuses about how she couldn't pay me. PayPal was being arbitrary and banned her account. (Never mind that she couldn't send me an e-mail demonstrating this fact, and never mind that creating a new account under a different name or any number of other ways would have been fine). Wire transfers were held up because they were too large. (This happened multiple times, again with no evidence, transfer numbers, etc.) Western Union didn't work because... of some reason. She didn't even bother explaining that. MoneyGram couldn't work. Payoneer fell through. Sending the money through international post as cash or check couldn't work; apparently, the postal service will scan for cash (but that still doesn't explain why a check didn't work). Ordering a prepaid card failed for some reason that was never discovered. When I went to a Bank of America to pick up a prepaid card, they were baffled even at the idea: Kim wasted my valuable time by having me go into town to try to pick up a card that doesn't exist! I made clear, over and over again, that smaller sums over a period of months would be tolerable. People get paid internationally all of the time. Worse, she claimed to be in California, just as she claimed to be in New York, for multiple weeks! She even offered the excuse that the Orthodox Pope's death meant that she couldn't see me on a particular day!

Term Paper TopicWhat's worse is that she couldn't get me any objective evidence, over an entire year, that any of these things had occurred. No e-mails (she forwarded e-mails but they could easily have been fabricated), no phone calls with a third party, no scans of documentation. Of course, after a year, even the best evidence would have been insufficient, but she couldn't even meet these simple requests after a few weeks.

It has now been more than half a year of these excuses. Writer Team has been down consistently and repeatedly and as of this writing I cannot connect to it, as are other accounts linked to her GoDaddy profile. It is quite clear to me that her business is failing and she is undoubtedly up to her ears in debt. I have repeatedly offered to be paid over time, but she insists everything is fine. I have given her numerous deadlines and have been given excuses and delays. It has come to the point that she called me claiming that her e-mail said we'd meet on Saturday when she didn't!

I cannot conclude that Kim is anything but a liar and a fraud, regrettably, as she has been relatively pleasant compared to some in the industry. I have e-mails going back months as well as screenshots and all of the work I have done saved. Even if this is an honest mistake, her incompetence is clearly staggering.

If you are a writer, steer clear of anyone connected to Kim, Term Paper Topics or Writer Team. If you are a potential customer, know that she has systematically alienated some of the best writers in the industry and that she can't be trusted to pay her writers, which means she can't be trusted with your order.

While I can't confirm Freelance Writer or Alok's stories directly, I can certainly confirm that their story is EXACTLY like mine. Moreover, I've had the chance to look over the administrator part of the site when it was still up. There were signs that many orders were being filled by her (she claimed this was to help others be confidential, which is bizarre since client information is anonymous), and other orders were not paid and hadn't been for months. When I asked her about this, she dodged the question.

I suggest that all writers ripped off by Kim begin to pressure her. I know that she doesn't want this information revealed because she is still in constant contact with me.

If I am paid, I will retract this post.

Yeah....the fact that you were promised $200,000 (or some significant portion thereof) as a "partner" when all you do is write contracted essays should have been a tip-off.

It should be a tip off to you pheelyks. I once thought you were intelligent. Let him post the partnership docs. He earned $17,800 and said he had an excellent programmer to revamp our sites. Well, seems that he planned on stealing. And why stop at 200k. According to my calcs it's 2 million.

Oh, it is. I'm very glad I never followed through on your offer to become a Writer Tean member.

Are you actually unbalanced/psychotic? Making your lies more astronomical doesn't make them more believable--quite the opposite.

Here's the deal: you're a scammer with dreams of grandiosity. I'm sure you were quite wealthy before the revolution in your home country, and I'm sure you lost a great deal of your wealth afterwards. I'm equally sure you are now grasping at whatever semblance of dignity and power you think you have left, but what you're actually doing is just grinding your name further into the mud.

You are certainly not one of the best writers in the industry but you are one helluva Conan. Differences aside, FW is a much better writer than you :)

Yes, I told you I had cancer (that's the paki/indi alok's story) ... Huge difference tween ulcer and cancer. Look it up if you're such a great researcher.

Band as I told alok - his eork was rubbish and he can post it all on the forum as none were passed onto clients.

Strange that you say his story matches yours :) doesn't say a lot about you does it?

You are just envious coz all you can afford is a free one-man show webpage.

I never offered you a job pheelyks.

Yes, you did. It was over a year ago and it didn't constitute a long discussion, but we exchanged several emails about my possibly completing work for your company. It never went anywhere, and given how busy you've been in effective exile I don't expect you to remember, but I certainly felt like I'd dodged a bullet when I saw FW's story.

Insulting my writing skills now that you don't like me is just one more way you're aligning yourself with the other scammers in this business. Give it up and go away.

Isn't it rather strange that FW posts poison, pheelyks (whom I've never corresponded eith about eork) jumps on the bandwagon, follows by the god Amon :) in business since 2009 (may) and not a complaint and then this.

Let me put it this way - if I managed to con you guys for 3 years, you possess the IQ of a gnat.

And, pheelyks - I didn't disappear from the forum as you claimed and I am not adding my sites to the DND LIST.

Do your worst, as I will.

No. I sent clients your way as I did with FW but never offered you a job.

If I did, pls prove it.

Pheelyks: A "That is unfortunate" would have been more appropriate, thank you.

In any case, that is not all I did. My duties were going to include helping redesign the website (I had some of my friends ready to do that work and was ready to monitor them), dealing with writers and operations, dealing with SWReg payments, etc. I was willing to do work to build the company. I never did because I never got paid in full. Kim also spent extensive time talking to me about the website and nominally seeking my counsel, which I CERTAINLY would not have done if I didn't have an ownership stake! The $200,000 was an amassing amount over time; I was not offered $200,000 up front.

You are certainly not one of the best writers in the industry but you are one helluva Conan. Differences aside, FW is a much better writer than you :)

You are just envious coz all you can afford is a free one-man show webpage.

So, the moment people call you out for criminal behavior, you insult them. You are not contesting that I did work for you and that you haven't paid me. What you are contesting is... what, again?

I can afford whatever I please. I've found I don't need my webpage (which, by the way, is better than what WRT is right now, which has been down consistently). I also don't need to pay myself in an apparently fraudulent attempt to give artificial contracts.

Even now, you are conceding that you owe me tens of thousands of dollars. Let's repeat that. Your best defense to my charge that you owe me up to $200,000 is that you owe me only $17,800.

The excuses Alok reported are exactly what you gave. You are attempting a very, VERY pitiful distraction.

I don't need to say much more than this. Writers and students: This is how WRT behaves when someone has given her a year to pay back money that she owes them for work that they did, to someone who was a partner until she failed to do the most basic elements of her partnership agreement. Do you want to work with someone like this?

Also, "coz"? Really? You can't be bothered to write "because"? Yes, it's everyone else's English that's the problem...

Just to be totally clear, here's copies of the e-mails.

"Amon
Apr 6 (12 days ago)

to Kim
Please do tell me the division. What I have come to understand is that $200,000 of the total is a combination of my wages and my share of the company's profits. Whatever else would be extra for operations expenses. Is this correct?

Kim
Apr 6 (12 days ago)

to me
Yes. And I will send you the dollar sums. Your understanding is correct, though

Sent from my iPad"

You agreed to pay $200,000, knowing full well I did tasks and read correspondence I would not have had I had not been a partner. Now you're trying not to. You say that I'm a thief when you admit that you owe me $17,500, and by the way you have owed me that for about a year now.

Pay up, Kim, or admit to everyone that you can't and make payment arrangements. I have repeatedly stated that I would not be brutal.

You said you were one of the very. Best. I said you were not. That is the truth, not an insult. If it were, I would have said the same about FW but that would have been a lie as he is one of the best.

Saying ANYTHING, at ALL, derogatory about someone who claims that you have not paid them $17,800 plus a 10% bonus as agreed, plus partner fees as agreed numerous times in e-mail (whether or not it's ironclad contract law is not the point) plus laptops and iPads), is insane. You aren't paying your writers. You are engaging in criminal activity. It's illegal to have someone do work for you and not pay them. This is the core of the matter, and apparently no one but you here cares about your excuses.

Isn't it rather strange that FW posts poison

If by "poison" you mean "very carefully restrained facts with supporting evidence," then sure, this happened.

pheelyks (whom I've never corresponded eith about eork

Yes, you have (assuming you meant "with" and "work").

follows by the god Amon

You've got your chronology wrong.

Do your worst, as I will.

You already are.

No. I sent clients your way

You broached the topic of establishing a freelance contract with me, which is the same relationship every company in this industry has with their writers. Don't be disingenuous--you aren't nearly as good at it as you think.

In any case, that is not all I did. My duties were going to include helping redesign the website (I had some of my friends ready to do that work and was ready to monitor them), dealing with writers and operations, dealing with SWReg payments, etc. I was willing to do work to build the company. I never did because I never got paid in full.

This is the part that makes it more than unfortunate. You were naive in thinking that this deal was ever intended to be legitimate, and you were plain old dumb/greedy to let such a massive sum gather while you were still doing work (and if you never did the work, the money isn't owed, plain and simple).

WRT, put it this way. Are you denying that you own money to FW, AmonsEssays, and others? If you admit that you have yet to pay the writers, what is the reason that you are defending yourself against their thrusting claims about you?

There has been an update. Kim has called me and said there was a correction e-mail that I did not receive. This does happen in e-mail transactions. I am staying on as a partner. I am not at liberty to disclose the exact sum of the partnership amount, but Kim is sending me paperwork and hopes to have paid me by next Tuesday. I will keep everyone updated.

If you want to tell your story about getting scammed on a public forum, you're going to get comments. Comments like, I hope you're feigning amelioration as a tactic, because if you actually think you're going to see a dime of partnership money you're dumber than I thought.

Yes- please stay out of it Mr S/N.
He is going to be made a partner. Disagreements aside, mature adults resolve their issues WHEN BOTH PARTIES ARE HONEST.
Pheelyks the Great wrote a paper (Social Work dissertation) for a British client I sent his way. You know her (S.C.) ... You charged her approximately $ 2,000 for 8000 words. She was in her final year (MA)., thanks to you, she failed. I was bcc'ed to the very polite emsils she wrote you. Do you remember your initial responses before deciding to ignore her after the 3rd email? That was a year ago.

Pheelyks - countless have levelled similar complaints against you, both here and on essaychat. Deny it all you want but you know they aren't lying.

So, don't talk about honesty, please.

Funny that you accuse AMONS of being dumb simply because he was being honest in his last post. Says a lot about you, doesn't it Mr S/N?

Paki - stay out of it. Or, at least, try to make sense. When you do, supposing you can, I'll take you seriously.

Wow! you are still going to believe her. Initially, WRT was denying she owed you money, as you being a partner of her company. Now she has called you and you are telling others to butt off. Did you not read FW's posts about how many times Kim had made excuses about payments and other things?

If you want to tell your story about getting scammed on a public forum, you're going to get comments. Comments like, I hope you're feigning amelioration as a tactic, because if you actually think you're going to see a dime of partnership money you're dumber than I thought.

Really? Because you've accused Amon of blatantly lying in this very thread, but now you seem to be acknowledging that you scammed him and lied to him pretty extensively. Odd.

Pheelyks the Great wrote a paper (Social Work dissertation) for a British client I sent his way. You know her (S.C.) ... You charged her approximately $ 2,000 for 8000 words.

This never happened. The highest I have ever charged someone was $50/page (which would make 8000 words approx. $1300), and that was for a two-hour turnaround--not something I could do for a 27-page paper.

I never did any work for your, your company or any clients you supposedly referred, nor have I ever completed an assignment that matches the description you gave. If you have proof otherwise (and we both know you don't), post it.

I was bcc'ed to the very polite emsils she wrote you

Really? Then it should be pretty easy to post them here and really embarrass me.....

countless have levelled similar complaints against you

Well, two customers and one scamming website owner, but if you can't count to three then I guess that's "countless"...

No, I really don't. Usually it means "screen name," and if that's what you mean I don't understand the significance. If you're trying to sound threatening by implying that you know my initials, or something, you're way off. I truly have no idea what you're trying to imply, though, you silly b**-h.

Amna derives from Amn which means peace, security. C'mon people can't be called Amn.

I doubt if you know who AMNA was. Does having Egyptian nationality mean you are a Moslem?

Idiot!

By the way, why can't look at PRIMARY definition for the name AMNA? You are not only a scammer and liar, but also an illiterate.

As for you pheelyks - I am at loggerheads with FW but I'll never claim his work is less than excellent. No complaints where he's concerned (and I really am at loggerheads with him and no going back). So, why did I critique your writing? Could it have something to do with your INDEPENDANT CLIENTS? :) please remind me - how many failed? How many were ignored by you after you got paid and sent them very poor work?

I'd love to say the same about FW but it'd be an outright lie.

Fleabag - please make sense. Amna is not Amina. I rather think your name is Amna bint Abi Lahab :) in light of that, no sister of yours would be called it. Angels and Devils do not mix :)

Has this become a NAME FORUM? I thought it was an essay one? My mistake. Also my pleasure as it means I can make fun of you to my heart's content :)

Since we are talking about religion and names, are you veiled, covered from head to toe in black garb? I think you are. God save us all!!! And, nobody can accuse me of racism here since, on paper, I'm a Moslem - but a moderate one who knows that the veil is BS and that all TRUE Moslems wholeheartedly accept Judaism and Christianity. AND RESPECTS ALL BELIEF SYSTEMS, INCLUDING ATHEISM. Not many of them around, unfortunately, thanks to Gulfi and Asian misogynistic and sadistic interpretations.
