WRITERS BEWARE OF THIS essaywriters.net MODUS OPERANDI

administrative predicament... euphemism for incompetent managers?

so explain last month. what about all the writers who didn't get paid in December and had to wait until january to get paid? and all the writers who had the same thing happen a few months earlier.

they weren't guilty of plagiarism or any other problem on their end. they just worked for ew and didn't get paid b/c of the company's periodic issues.

were you part of the big group of writers who didn't get paid in December R.V.? Because if you weren't, well, it seems unlikely then that you are just a writer for EW.


how exactly do you define authentic and genuine? a company that blasts ESL writers publicly while hiring them privately?

bestessays.com

"They don't use native English speakers!
Nowadays many essay writing companies are either from Asian or African countries or just outsource writers from there. They can pay dirt-cheap wages and thus, they can lower their prices to $9-10 a page or even lower to attract more customers. Don't be fooled! Their papers are written by Filipinos, Pakistanis, Indians, and Nigerian, who can (somewhat) speak English. That's why you should think twice before ordering from the cheapest providers! The quality will be the cheapest too!"

yah... those comments show "genuineness."

Just bought me a notebook with half a month's EW salary with change leftover (and without even touching my day job's pay). ^_^ Life... is good. :D

Just think, you could have bought that laptop last month if they'd paid you on time! =D

err.. what are you talking about? I meant this period's wages. They paid me a couple of days ago and i just recieved the money yesterday (yes, they sometimes pay ahead of schedule). I started canvassing for one last week so the money arrived just on schedule. :)

it's nice that you can wait to make your big purchases for the times that EW actually pays it's writers.

it's sad, however, that you feel the need to post gloating about receiving a paycheck and buying a notebook, particularly on a site that discusses writers being taken by frauds.

grats on getting paid?

I agree...they never paid me too...

However, now their strategy is changing as a colleague of mine is working for them.

When they owe small amounts, they pay i.e. <100$, but when the dues increase, there is no pay so beware...

QUOTING RVSEKHAR,

Please write for Peter Richardson and see if you would pay you and let us know. He is permanently in need of writers as his company does the fastest human resources turnover ever.

RVSEKHAR,

I was only joking. Please do not write for Peter Richardson, under any circumstances. I would not wish that even to my enemy.

The thing is if I get paid on time (and even ahead of time sometimes), then maybe all the yapping about how essaywriters doesn't pay its competent writers shouldn't be so readily believed. ^_^


Sigh.. again, I didn't wait. I have enough from the money they paid since period 1 to buy several dozens of the model I bought. Why do you keep insinuating that EW doesn't pay me regularly? >.<

i didn't insinuate that EW doesn't pay you regularly. you yourself said that they have missed payments, as your quotes above explain. why do you try to pretend that didn't happen?


you getting paid on time this week doesn't erase the fact that you've experienced protracted delays in payment in the past. were you incompetent in December? in June? what did you do to cause them to not pay you on time?

Is Essaywriters.net run by a fraud called Peter Richardson? The modus operandi looks the same. General disapproval and accusation of plagiarism without showing one single sentence that has been copied!!! Please check up that. If you scratch it further, you might find Peter Richardson there!!

why dont we just turn this site into the get peter richardson site yawn!!

ok so he's a fraud we get the message but you dont need to mention it on every other post thats on here

@ Lavinia

Yes but those two periods do not take away the fact that I've been paid promptly for all the other payment periods. It's not like EW blames my incompetence for my not getting paid on time during those couple of payment periods. Also, it's not like their explanations such as switching banks aren't reasonable. Are you telling me that you have never, ever experienced payment delays with your regular employers, ever? If you haven't then good for you but I don't think that such occurences are completely unheard of even in the companies that you consider legitimate.

My point is simple, most of the people who complain against EW seem to be plagiarists who just can't write well. Those who have genuine concerns usually have them resolved in the end (such as margie, workfromhomemom, etc). While it does seem that EW is very lax with their choice of writers, that doesn't erase the fact that they do pay you if your customers are satisfied with you work and you stick with the rules on plagiarism.

@ew

correct, i have never experienced payment delays from the companies that I work for. i complete a fairly high volume of work for three different companies. each has consistently paid me on time, every week (or 2 weeks, as the case may be).

i'm really not trying to pick a fight with you. if folks like you and Margie want to keep working for EW knowing that they have periodic problems with payment, then fine, that's your choice. But you and Margie (for example) write posts that seem to suggest that the only reason that payment is denied or delayed by EW is because the writers are at fault. we both know that is not the case. to suggest that every writer who posts on this board complaining of non-payment is guilty of plagiarism or some other infraction is pretty unfair.

EW experiences periodic, company wide delays in payment that occur atleast 2x per year, if not more. that's not very reasonable. why would a company need to periodically (every six months?) need to change its bank? if EW only had this happen once, then fine, but that's not the case with EW. and can you honestly say to me that you don't think that there will be another round of non-payment in the foreseeable future?

individuals thinking about writing for EW should know what to expect. even writers who do everything right should expect some non-payment or delays on payment if they choose to work for EW.

LOL. I was getting afraid to visit essayscam because of the "don't write for Peter Richardson" posts you read everywhere.

If you want to write for him, we do not have any objection. We thought it is necessary to warn the writers on an ongoing basis. Please do not read them if you don't like it.

NOOOOOO. Please do not write for those companies. You won't get paid. It is an awful outfit. And that man is the most offensive cheat. Please do not go near them. Talking from personal experience. 1stclassprojects, projects1stclass, dissertation 1stclass or whatever they call themselves, please do not go near them.

Fair enough. I never claimed that EW was the perfect company to work for. All I'm saying is that competent writers exist in EW as well as in other academic writing agencies that can and do provide clients with quality work. I can't tell you that all their rules are fair because they're not and I've found myself at odds with their support team time and time again, but I can tell you that given the lack of better companies that would hire writers not residing in the U.S., EW is good enough for me.

Lavinia

Lavinia, I am also working with Essaywriters since last 2 months and am awaiting my first payment yet. I fully agree when you say that they are some scam people.

But, it is completely unacceptable if you go on to say that Indians can just speak English and produce poor quality articles. This kind of racist comments are completely un-called for in any public forum, mate!

I can show you some of my own write-ups, which are even far superior in quality than what a so called native english speaking person may write. Please stay informed about the world around you, buddy! India is no more a land of voodoo and snake charmers. Thats history now!

India really rocks, my friend!

Lavinia's comment is 15 months old ...


Good writers are good writers, irrespective of nationality. The whole argument here is not whether Indian writers are good or not (as many are superb) but whether ANYBODY and EVERYBODY should write (some of the so-called professional writers are rather bad ... both ESL and EFL)


BTW (any Brits here pls support me) - Contrary to popular assumption, Brits do not conclude every sentence with "mate" ... it's cockney slang. The reason why I am commenting on this is simply because it is all over the place - not just in this post but all over. It's just like concluding every sentence you direct towards an American with "bro" ...


That's the Caribbean, not India :)

My payment was due on 15-17July 2009. They are now saying that they will pay me by 21st July.

This is my first payment with essaywriters and right now I owe them around $385. Please suggest me what to do, how can I approach them, so that they will be compelled to give me the money!

Please help me!

I don't understand ... they owe you or you owe them? There are some experienced writers here with Essaywriters ... maybe they can advise you. Good luck and try not to worry too much

Sorry, it should have been Essaywriter owe me around $385 now.

So anyone who have experienced the non-payments or late payments, please suggest me what to do[i][/i]. I have tried both politely and rudely, but it seems nothing has worked out yet.

Please help me friends!

Hi friends,
My payment for $385 was due on 15-17July, 2009.
I just had a talk with Essaywriters support team member Susan, and she claims that as that the money would be given to me latest by Monday.

Now, from your past experiences, please tell me, should I trust them this time? Or is it just another way of delaying the payment by any means and finally not paying it?

Please help me friends!

I worked for essaywriters.net for about 2 years. they never missed a payment. but as time went on, they took more and more off the top.

of course it's their MO. but if you really didn't plagiarize, the first thing that you should do is cry out for proof, because there won't be any-- it will be quotations or works cited, picked up by their stupid computer. you can usually get the fine reversed for this.

more insidious is why and when the fine is levied. essaywriters.net is definitely out to siphon your earnings. deal with the headache and paranoia this causes, or quit.

Hi Rustyironchains,

I have been working with them since this June.
My very first payment for $385 was due on 15-17July, 2009.
I just had a talk with Essaywriters support team member Susan, and she claims that as that the money would be given to me latest by Monday.

Now, from your past experiences, please tell me, should I trust them this time? Or is it just another way of delaying the payment by any means and finally not paying it?

Please help me friend!

yes, my advice is to just chill for a couple of days. I can only speak from my own experience, but they usually paid pretty close to the end day of the cycle (today, in your case), sometimes a few days after, sometimes a few before. my issue with them was never non-payment; it was the siphoning that got to me.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I am keeping my fingers crossed hoping that the payment actually arrives....and if it does, i might give them a second thought, may be!

But, in case the payment doesnt come, can I resort to you again for some advice?

Good luck and try not to worry :)

Hi Friends,
Anyone received payments for July 15-17, 2009 from Essaywriters???

Please let me know if yes....

Thanks,

I got mine two days ago.

Hi EW_writer, was it a paypal payment? Please tell me, because, I have not yet received it and they are telling that they will give on monday!!!

Is it the case that they would not pay? Please help me, friend!

They'll pay you so long as you didn't plagiarize and you've had your payment details verified already (it should say "verified" in green in your profile page).

i didnot plagiarise, received "Very satisfied" survey from customers, and my payment details are verified (shown in green). But still for some uncanny reason, they are not paying me. I dont know whether I will get paid at all....this is all too heart-breaking and painful!

are these papers you did recently, or last month?

i did these in june.

today i dropped them a mail about the same and got the following reply:

Dear Shamik, You can expect the payment to be processed by the end of this month. Thank you. Best Regards, The Support Team

Now, please tell me, whether they really intend to pay me, or is it just a regular strategy to close my mouth for 10-15days?

shamik...

They will probably end up paying you, but congratulations on jumping through one of the hoops the company likes to provide every now and then. Wait until they ask for personal identity information. That is when it is time to leave.

Do they ask for this personal identity information every time before payment? Or is it only when they are really reluctant to pay?

What do you suggest, should I go forward with a polite approach or should I go chasing them up like anything?Which one would be a better thing to do, according to you?

Wait until the end of the month ... they may live up to their promise so give it a go. Continue with the polite approach until the end of the month ...

Work that you did between the 1st and the 15th of this month is paid within the 1st to 3rd of the succeeding month.

@oxbridgereaserchers

Thanks friend, may that be true, otherwise I am gone! Down here at India, $385 means a LOT!

@EW_writer

No, I did not work this month, I finished these assignments within 16-28th of june, thats why payment date comes to 15-17july.... but they still continue to say that I will be paid by end of month, I dont understand why?
