Universal Research and/or Uniwork Inc. now legally vulnerable in US, UK, and Philippines?


WritersBeware  
May 22, 2009 | #1
According to new evidence published yesterday by a dedicated advocate of truth, Universal Research and/or Uniwork Inc. is now vulnerable to civil and/or criminal legal action in at least three (3) different countries:

United States
United Kingdom
Philippines

The investigator's devastating evidence against Mr. Yuri from Ukraine keeps piling up. Just when I think that the investigator has "outed" all of the fraudulent activity, he posts new evidence of other deception. I must admit-I'm hooked. I check that blog for updates every few days. Good stuff.

I am a bit lost here.
The original incorporators are supposed to be residents of Philippines. The rules further state that the articles of Incorporation can not be amended. A person who is an Incorporator will remain so forever.

1- Does the law say that an Incorporator will forever remain a member of the company?
2- Is it not that the law just wants the name of the incorporator to be there forever, even if he is no more a member of the company.

3- IF there is a violation, what is the remedy?

I'll count this among the various "I told you so" threads that I intend to revisit by the end of the year so that I can shove the fact that nothing will ever happen out of these shenanigans up particular folk's asses. ^_^

EW_writer, look, we all know that you are a worthless crook and shill for EssayWriters.net from Ukraine who has nothing better to do than attack people who stand for truth and justice. Do you REALLY think that I or anyone else here cares at all about you or your biased, immoral opinions? NOPE! It's quite easy for you to just sit back and make such SPINELESS claims and COWARDLY assertions. It takes REAL dedication and a moral compass (which you utterly lack) to accomplish what the investigator is undertaking. Yes, it will take time. Yes, it will be difficult. Rest assured, however, that there WILL be legal and/or civil charges brought against Universal Research, including but not limited to search engine banning, tax evasion penalties, corporate fraud investigations, FTC sanctions, and a slew of other legal pleasantries that the investigator is choosing to keep quiet for tactical reasons.

Oh, and if you think for a second that it can't or won't happen, ask ***** what happens to HUNDREDS of fraudulent essay sites when the American legal system and all major search engines finally drop the hammer.

Have a nice day!

Vulnerable Researchany believe it or not, WB is probably right. Custom-research companies are not above the law, despite the fact that they act as if they are. When the scammers incorporated in the UK and US (as a marketing strategy so to claim that they are American/British), they bound themselves to the laws of these countries. While I do not know much about US law, I know that UK law is very very strict and the terms of the Sale and Supply of Services Act are non-negotiable. These companies must provide 1)

Services which fulfill the description - in this case, high quality, non-plagiarised work, written by native speakers who, themselves, have the academic qualifications the companies claimed on their behalf. 2) a physical location for the company itself (not a mythical, Empire State Building address). The conditions governing the sale and supply of goods just go on and on (I only highlighted two).

While scammers assume that they can get around them (as in reselling papers) through Terms and Conditions which attempt to undermine consumer rights, any terms and conditions which attempt to exclude or violate consumer protection laws or the sale and supply of services act, are voided by the courts. A consumer is not bound by any term and condition of sale which is contrary to the relevant laws, even if s/he signs off on them.

WB is right and were any to read the investigator's report (as she has requested multiple times), you will realise that the fraud is becoming rampant.

Custom-writing companies ultimately depend on the assumption that their consumers (students who may have cheated) will be too afraid to report them, lest they themselves get into trouble ... thus, the fraud continues and grows. I, however, like WB, believe that something will be done about it ...

Now - that is just the consumer side. Were one to look at the employee (writer) side of the case, the situation becomes even worse (from the legal standpoint). How many writers have experienced unreasonable delays in payment? What about unwarranted fines?

Haha.. I wonder where the moral compasses of companies allowing students to buy custom-made essays for submission to their respective universities are pointing... :p I'll be here at the end of the year to show everyone around how once again, all your blabbing is just that.. worthless talk. :)

Again, you're spineless.

I remember you proclaiming absurd my assertion that the days of the EssayRelief.com empire of sites and EssayWriters.net's sites are numbered. Funny-my assertion has now been proven at least 50% correct. Only 50% more to go, and now there is more evidence than ever against your FRAUDULENT, ILLEGAL employer. Enjoy your dirty money while it lasts.

;)

Oh, by the way, your shameless promotion via PM is now officially BANNED.

When did I say anything about EssayRelief? I don't even know the site. I'm spineless? Here I am boldly telling everyone that you're nothing but a d bag and you call me spineless? I think you've got your internal dictionary messed up because it's pretty obvious that I'd stand up to you any day.

Oh, and before I forget. Last year, you did claim that essaywriters would go down. A year later and we're still freakin' here. :D I'll make sure to point this out to you a year from now as well. Up yours. :p

Oh, by the way, your shameless promotion via PM is now officially BANNED.

Err... really? Like I said, I don't promote via PM. Clients PM me and ask for my help. Just a few weeks ago both OxbridgeResearchers and another poster both tried to recruit me for projects. I rejected Oxbridge since i don't do law papers and I don't work for direct clients unless I get paid in advance but I accepted the offer from the other poster. Now I've done several projects for him. :D

Here I am boldly telling everyone that you're nothing but

What, exactly, is "bold" in making negative, cowardly comments about others' mission of honesty and justice? If nothing happens by the end of the year, you brag like the sniveling coward that you are. If your employer's sites get banned, you simply disappear. Get one thing through your THICK SKULL-people aren't seeking justice and openness with YOUR approval or for YOUR benefit. People couldn't possibly care any less what YOU think. I humor you for personal amusement-nothing more. The people who are actually handling the investigations and will be dealing directly with the appropriate agencies are much more qualified and legally knowledgeable than I am.

Of course, you have a vested interest in the "honesty campaign" failing-no surprise. You WANT truth-seekers and consumer advocates to give up and cease their efforts. As much as you would like the effort to fail in order to protect your DIRTY INCOME, I'm sure that the investigator(s) has only just begun. At this point, the investigator (any many others) are merely compiling a mountain of evidence. As far as I know, no one has officially approached any of the legal/regulatory agencies, attorneys general, FTC, search engines, etc. Once the investigators reach that stage, your filthy employer will be in a world of legal hurt.

Again, enjoy your dirty money while it lasts. Put some aside for a rainy day (or year).

Have a splendid day!

Well, of course that's your answer. When your employer bites the dust, I won't have had anything to do with that, either. Do I care what you think? Nope. You can just sit back and watch the investigator's voirdireveritas.blogspot continue to build.

Have a stupendous day, Mr. Frustrated!

what happens to HUNDREDS of fraudulent essay sites when the American legal system and all major search engines finally drop the hammer.

I often ask myself this very question and I have yet to see any evidence of justice being served to these fraudulent scammers. There is no report that these companies ever paid a price for the way they do business. They just close shop and open under a different name and incorporation. The law will be highly difficult to impose on the company because there is no reality to the way they exist. The virtual world they exist in practically assures them of that protection.

Not really, justice has a way of catching up with criminals. They can only get away with their crimes for so long before they finally trip themselves up, allowing the law enforcers to finally catch up with them. When that happens, justice will truly be served. We may just now publicly know about the way the ax finally falls upon the heads of these companies, but it does. Afterall, evidence exists of these companies going offline permanently in some cases. Not because they ran out of money, but because of the international lawsuits filed against them.

Maybe FLW, being a law school graduate, or anybody familiar with international business law can clarify a point for me. I have been wondering about how effective the lawsuits that have been filed are in terms of bringing the company owners to physical court. In the case of online companies with international addresses, does the rule about filing a case where the crime was committed hold true? Does it result in any action on the part of the defendant who, in this case, could be facing a case filed in the UK while the office of the company is supposedly located in Greece (for example)?

No problem. Generally, not unless they happen to harbor their company yacht within the jurisdiction of the court. For a civil court to have jurisdiction over a defendant, the defendant would have to have registered or been licensed in that state, or have consented to service of process to a designated representative in that state (like a local lawyer or the Secretary of State), or have offices or other property in that state, or advertise within that state (like in print or on road signs), or direct electronic or digital advertising specifically to people in that state, or ship tangible goods to that state, or do substantial business in that state, or cause significant harm in that state (according to the way the law defines all of those terms in context). Isolated commercial misrepresentations or fraudulent sales of digital goods delivered online by remote entities to individuals living in a state just isn't enough to establish jurisdiction over a company with no real ties to that state. Many companies (of all types) also include clauses in their contracts and/or TOS designating sole jurisdiction in courts where they're located.

It is the highly technical nature of the crime that appears to make these companies brazen when it comes to scamming the students. It is difficult to file any case against them that will hold up in court. I wish there were a legal loophole that can help the students sue these criminals but there is none. I swear, we need a digital crime court that covers just crimes committed online. The nature of the law must be updated to keep up with modern times. If we have the ICC and International Court of Justice for international crimes, we seriously need one of the international organizations to step up and create an International Internet Court, or something like that.

Actually, it's not a technically-sophisticated crime, at all, and that's hardly the problem. In fact, it's about as simple and basic as any crime could possibly be. They advertise high-quality original writing but what they really provide is extremely-low-quality "writing" that's substantially or entirely plagiarized. The only reason it's almost impossible to pursue any remedy through the legal system is also extremely basic and simple: they're just located way too far away to establish jurisdiction in any court that's a reasonable distance from the vast majority of their clients. That has nothing to do with the nature of the crime itself, but is only a matter of where the respective parties happen to be located whenever customers buy virtual products furnished online. If a client happens to live in or near the city where the company involved has an office or where it's registered to do business, there would be nothing technically difficult about pursuing a claim and prevailing quite easily: The client wouldn't have to do anything more than file the case, show up with screen shots of the website with all of its promises and guarantees, and just present the essay that was received, along with the plagiarism report and the email history. Then, he could contact the local sheriff (or local equivalent), pay a small fee, and let them levy the judgment against the company.

This additional explanation really simplified several questions that I have had for some time now. I've always wondered why, even with the existence of large amounts of evidences against these well known swindlers and swindler companies, none of the cases seem to flourish or, have difficulty in doing so. Turns out, it is all about the location of the crime in relation to law jurisdiction. A legal loophole that is simply too difficult to plug. These are the reasons why students must be truely discerning of a writer or company prior to hiring either for writing services.
