Essay Writing Scam - the Do's and Don't's (Internet Companies)

This post covers the present-day scam trends in the essay writing industry. It also offers a few effective steps to avoid scam in the first place to save you money, time, and stress.

The most common form of scam has already been discussed in the previous post. This is a continuation of the same.

Here, I will cover the companies. In the next post, I will talk about freelance writers.

Today, as more and more people have access to the internet and communication technologies, business becomes riskier even though there are certain filters applied both at the physical and virtual level of all the transactions taking place over the WWW.

One reason for this growing fluidity  and porousness is the lack of global jurisdiction.

Therefore, today, it is more a matter of individual scrutiny and personal safety measures that one can take to avoid any possibility of being scammed. Within essay writing industry, there are certain Do's and Don't's that can safe you from a lot of unwanted stress.


DO's in the essay writing industry

1- Always do your research before hiring a writer or a company.

2- Google the name or brand by adding 'scam' to the term or name.

3- Always check the credibility of the website that returns results of some company you're looking for. Do not just think upfront that some company is a scam only because it has an unhappy customer. You need to dig deeper.

4- Do a WHOis record check to find out the registrant's address, age of the domain, and hosting server. It will give you a good idea of the company's physical presence. It will also help you verify facts presented on their website.

For instance, you can cross-check their claims (if any) with their domain age: We've been in business since 1999 versus Domain registration data 2008!

5- Try to read carefully the webcopy on the company's website. Does it really look professional? What about the overall look of the webpage?

6- If you're satisfied with these initial research, ALWAYS directly talk to the support via phone. Use a public phone if you don't want to leave your personal number with them. Talk to them, find out if they really sound LIKE a company.

Doing the DON'T's in the essay writing industry

1- If you're doing business with a company for the first time, NEVER reveal your institutional, personal, and other information that may be sensitive. Yes, playing safe is ALWAYS important in life especially over the internet. Personally identifiable information and its security are now becoming global phenomena.

2- Do NOT order a BIG paper, project, or task on the first go. Always start with a smaller paper. This will give you a better idea about the overall business model of that company.

If they are a scam company, their first product will show poor quality in terms of writing, research, formatting, citation style, and so on. Who knows, you may end up receiving a completely plagiarized paper altogether.

However, a legitimate company will provide a product par excellence.

3- DO NOT hesitate to ask the support of the company to keep you in contact with your writer. Knowing your writer PERSONALLY is always good for effective communication and better results.

4- Do NOT hesitate to ask for revisions or any other adjustments that you may find necessary to be done. Remember, you're evaluating the company on the way of becoming their loyal client.

ALWAYS keep in mind that all that glitters is not gold.

If you carry out these steps, I am sure you'll soon understand the differences between a reliable and scam essay writing companies.

Happy writing!

The MOST Common Scam in the Essay Writing Industry

My years-long experience in the essay writing industry, my communication with a diverse range of people within the same industry, and my personal interaction with global clients and writers have all contributed to my understanding of the MOST common types of scam that affect both students and writers on a regular basis.

I must say that a majority of these scam incidents involve MONEY on the forefront of every transaction. Most often students are ripped off their hard-earned money by freelance writers and online essay writing companies.

A student googles or bings for online essay writing help. S/he comes across quite a few online resources and companies that guarantee a premium writing product for a reasonable price. The student places an order mainly for two reasons:

(1) They can pay via PayPal (assuming their funds would be secure in case of any disputes);
(2) The website design, contact details, and other relevant information make them believe they're the best option.

Now, let's demystify the PayPal-Secure-Payment myth.

PayPal DOES NOT guarantee, cover, or stand by you if you purchase a DIGITAL PRODUCT such as an e-book, music, template, and (in our case) academic essay! Wooh! User Agreement, and PayPal Community are quite useful resources on these matters. Have a look. The PayPal User Agreement explicitly states (clause 11.10) that, "Intangible items, licenses for digital content, and services" are NOT "eligible for PayPal seller protection".

Thus, today, virtual essay writing companies are swarming the WWW with an incessant speed because they have a countless number of potential clients - new students every semester looking for help!

What really happens is that a student places an order with an online writing company and receives either a plagiarized essay or something that is hardly to be regarded some standard writing - making it almost impossible for the student to acquire moderate grades!

The student, enraged and frustrated, contacts PayPal to initiate a chargeback only to learn that it is not possible. Read here about how to make relatively secure payments online.

Second, it is very likely that the company starts threatening the client to leak out their personal and institutional information to their school if they do not stop spreading word over the internet!

The bottom line - the student ends up feeling more frustrated and furious over all the happened to him or her. However, the learning has come for a much higher price: time, money, and most of all the educational career being jeopardized.

Most of these companies know their art of scamming their customers. They use fancy language and multimedia, attractive webpage design, and libelous claims like:

- They've been in business since 1998;
- All of their writers are PhDs;
- They guarantee highest possible grades for their writing products, and so on.

Although I am from Pakistan, I am NOT misrepresenting ANYTHING about me, my background, my language proficiency, etc.

Since it is my top priority to be honest in my business, I think the reader can tell whether I mean it or not.

I am sure this post has demystified the  notion of ONLINE PREMIUM help. Kindly, do look around before blindfoldedly believing in the claims made on a website.

I would be honored if I could be of any assistance to you. Do leave me a message.
