With "all these" scams loitering around, the future of freelance writing could be jeopardized. As time goes by, both writers and customers are loosing trust in custom writing companies. How would this trend shape the future of online freelance writing? Think about a possible pragmatic solution to the predicament.

You could reduce the "number of" (random quotation marks are fun!) scams by leaving the industry, Herpesbreakout.
Heremeout: Think about a possible pragmatic solution to the predicament.
As long as there is money to be made from scamming, people like you are going to try to make money from it. The only way to stop the problem is to educate consumers so they stop giving you and your ilk money in the first place, but with new students seeking out services every year this is impossible.
Of course, you already know this--you count on it to stay in business.

The future would be more frustrating for the scamming individuals because today there is much more information on writing (and other) scams than ever. The golden period for scams was around the beginning of this century.

Why do you always distort my views? The point is simple and straightforward despite the fact that I have mistakenly added a comma. Please do not comment again on minor mistakes. I hope this message is clear.

Shut the hell up, housefly as usual. I do not need your advice and I will not need any advice from you now and in the future. I also will not stop writing. Therefore, you can file a lawsuit against me if indeed your advice has any impact. I also hope this message is clear. Nonsense!

Huh? I can't sue you for being a crappy writer. Your customers could sue you for failing to deliver advertised services, but I'm guessing most of your customers don't live in Kenya so it would be hard to come after you.

Oh, no! Not more insults! Whatever shall I do?

I guess your asshole has a problem. Seek medical attention before it explodes. You also seem to suffer from a mental problem. Keep on lying to forum members, housefly. But that won't help you neither will it help anyone here. Anyway, you can call me a "crappy" writer. After all, who cares except your stinking asshole that currently needs immediate medical attention.

That is funny as hell, simply because I think that virtually any discussion involving assholes is funny. However, what's even funnier is that Twig thinks that it makes sense.

who's attacking? I'm serious, and also totally fine with that kind of future, because it means more pickins for me. I have nothing to fear from ESL writers, because my interests aren't threatened by them... nor do I know or care who's Kenyan.
you're the one who feels threatened, labels, and attacks ESL writers, WB. do really I have to teach you about projection again? you really have some problems with learning your lessons. I may have to have that talk with your mom about putting you in the "slow" class.

You are, dumbass. I can quote DOZENS of posts in which both you and EW_writer are attacking Meo's writing skills. I have been defending him against both of you scoundrels.
editor75: you're the one who feels threatened, labels, and attacks ESL writers, WB.
1. I'd love to see proof that I am "threatened" by any other writer—ESL or native—on the face of the planet.
2. I'd love to see proof that I have ever placed what has proven to be a false "label" on anyone.
3. I'd love to see proof that I attack honest, ESL writers.
Good luck.

so, you are a writer? I'd assumed you were lashing out because you were threatened from a management perspective. thanks for the clarification.
WritersBeware: I'd love to see proof that I have ever placed what has proven to be a false "label" on anyone.
"cave dwellar (sic)," "lions ate your family," "your hut," etc.
WritersBeware: I'd love to see proof that I attack honest, ESL writers.
your first recent post to an honest, cogent, literate Italian writer in another thread was, "My name is a Borat. can I **** your house?"
Why Is the [ENGLISH] Research Industry Infested with Foreign-Based Companies?
now, here's a question for you, defender of "honest, ESL writers:" do you really believe Meo informs every client of his language status before accepting their order?

I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt until I have reason to stop, and if Meo says that he does this than I believe him. We all know it's easy to lie on the Internet, no one more so than you, but making assumptions and then going on long rants built on those assumptions is incredibly foolish. Again, no one knows this better than you.

Pheelyks: it's no wonder you're lining up for this, the most foolish bet in the world, and then essentially denying all culpability by saying, "anyone can say anything on the internet, anyway." I would have expected no less of you... except, this wasn't your bet to take. it wasn't a general question; I specifically addressed someone, and it wasn't you. if you want to pick a fight with me, please choose a better excuse, stop interrupting, and let WB take a stand on his own beliefs.

editor75: the most foolish bet in the world
what bet?
editor75: denying all culpability
how would I be culpable for MeoKahn's actions at all? I have no reason to disbelieve Meo when he says he informs his customers about his ESL status. Do you have evidence otherwise?
editor75: anyone can say anything on the internet, anyway.
They can. You're proof of this fact yourself.
editor75: except, this wasn't your bet to take
Again, it wasn't a bet, it was a question. Competition is like a psychotic compulsion for you, isn't it?
editor75: I specifically addressed someone
Yeah, you addressed the "defender of honest, ESL writers." That's several someones, including me.
editor75: if you want to pick a fight with me
It isn't much of a fight when none of your arguments follow any sort of logical trajectory.
editor75: stop interrupting
Do you really need the basic operations of a public Internet forum explained to you again?

are you sure you're not WB's sock-puppet?
anyway, of course I don't have evidence that Meo's lying... but I know he is. it's just like I know WB's lying when he says he has no connection to the industry. some things are just obvious. do you have evidence that he's telling the truth? if you take every stranger you meet at their word, I'd hate to see what kind of mess your life is in.

The first time a "bet" is mentioned on this page is when you said I was "lining up for it." Again, not every questions is a bet....derrr, it's called a dictionary. Invest.
editor75: are you sure you're not WB's sock-puppet?
Yes.
editor75: do you have evidence that he's telling the truth?
No, but I don't claim to know that he is. I simply have no reason to disbelieve him, and on this forum (the only place I know him) he's honest, so on this forum I'll defend his honesty. It seems pretty straightforward to me, but then I don't have a weird vendetta against anyone here or against rational thought in general, so I guess I' not seeing things from your perspective.
editor75: do you really think I was addressing you?

well, if you insist on getting literal, I hereby bet $10 in virtual internet ******* money that Meo takes every client he can get, without being too careful about warning them off first. now it's a bet.
pheelyks: I don't have a weird vendetta against anyone here
right... then you wouldn't randomly try to stir up **** in 3 or 4 different threads with someone who hasn't addressed you in any of them, would you?

It isn't random, and it didn't need to be stirred. I was just commenting on your usual sh*t. It isn't a vendetta, it's a past time.
