Is Tsm-group.org a scam?

Anyone has experience with this site? This is the site for writers but its customers come from other frontiers such as a a number of modern-looking sites with more professional interfaces (just like a lot of other scam sites). Its customer support is from Ukraine and the site registered at Kenya?! don't know if my info is correct.

Considering the listed prices it may not be scam, but are you - as a freelance writer - prepared to write a 100-page (30,000-word) Master's thesis, due in 10 days, for $499 (minus applicable fines)?

Customer service in the Ukraine but registered in Kenya? Both countries have a rep around this industry for being a bit "scammy"...I wouldn't trust it personally. Seems a bit fishy in my humble opinion. But there is a chance that it's a legit company. But if what major said is true...100 pages in 10 days for $500? That's robbery.

Thanks for the feedback. They require writers, at least in my case, to provide identification documents including driver's license, id card and (not or) passport. Then a few days later they ask for Skype and personal phone numbers. Any comments?

I wouldn't go through any of that rigmarole for 0.6 cents a word. I spit on 0.6 cents a word.

Yes, the rate is really unjust.

Then your identity may be stolen and you may be blackmailed if you don't accept yet another fine or don't do what they want you to do.

I have thought of that too. That's why I made some modi********* to the docs. (I cannot make things too clear). If I can get writing jobs from other sites.....:( I think it is a scam.

Yes. They sound like they are out to steal your identity rather than simply setting up your account. That is way too much information based on government based ID systems of any country, for you to share with any company that does not truly require (read: not government mandated) any KYC procedures. Do not proceed with signing up with any company that requires government issued ID's as a part of the application process unless it is a reputable and publicly known company. In this case, it sounds more like the company is preparing for use your credentials for fraud than anything else.

The website is simple and easy to navigate. It is user friendly and crisp in look. It screams, I am professional. Yet, when you read the about page, it would appear that they seem to be inflating some of their claims. One of the worrisome aspects is the way that they claim an academic writer can earn 3K a month. Most writers I know struggle to make that amount because of the competition posed by AI. The only way a writer can easily make that amount these days is if he had a regular client base to begin with, pre AI.
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.

All anybody has to do to know that they obviously can't possibly be using experienced NES writers -- especially any actually living anywhere in the First World -- is to check all of the projects listed at the bottom of the main page, complete with the writers' "earnings" for those projects. They're only paying their writers $9 - $12 per page, which is not compensation for which anybody you'd ever really want producing your academic project would even consider working, especially in 2025.
