last year I've found a writer through this forum,he contacted me after I post a thread.
well it was going well,normally i paid half of the payment when we make agreements and decide the deadline,then I leave it to him till he finish and turn up,he was doing a great job though he was always late and i needed to ask for extention but the results weren't bad.
but this time after I gave him half of the money and he agreed to send me the work on 9th but he didn't show up though i've been trying to reach him via email and messenger.
it's been few days late and he didn't drop a word to tell me what's going on.
now i am wondering if I should just looking for another person or not.
god I hope he's gonna show up soon

No names. go placidly amid the ripoffs and the half truths, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without being broke remember to come back and pay promptly for all the "services" you will get.

I think you should wait until your given deadline and if he does not contact you, I think there is no harm in exposing his name. It is because he should pay for the act of irresponsibility. Or, at least he should return your money.
But if he has written papers for you previously, then he does not sound a scam; he may be facing some trouble out there. But you should wait for his response.

I'd just wait long enough to make sure there's not some legitimate explanation, only because these posts can't be edited later. Once you're 100% sure that you're not getting a response or paper in a reasonable time, definitely post it because that's the only way you can deter writers from unjustly keeping your money.

The best guess is: FreelanceWriter or Pheelyks.

Not FW, because the payment schedule described isn't how he works (it would also be rather stupid of him to be encouraging OP to reveal the writer if it was him), and it's not me because I don't have any work due to private clients right now, and haven't been receiving any emails claiming otherwise.

Good guessing, lol.
To WHYNOT
However, I think whoever that guy is, you should give him long enough time. Once you're sure the guy has scammed you, you should go ahead.
But I believe the guy may not be a scammer because he has written (as you say) a few papers for you already.

Translated: "FreelanceWriter and Pheelyks are two of the writers with the best reputations on here who also work for some of the companies that make my operation look pathetic by comparison so I'll take any chance to disparage either of them."
As Pheelyks said, I don't ever take "deposits" on work or write anything that isn't paid 100% up front. It would also be very stupid for me to be encouraging the OP to post the identity if it was me, but we all know that identifying stupidity is not exactly your strong suit.

I guess you should give him some more time. LoL! Posting his name here may worsen the situation. May be the guy is in some trouble.

I'm unsure of the rules on this, am I able to post a link to a legal forum? They might be able to give guidance on dealing with this situation.

I've managed to access the rules and I believe I am able to post this:
OP, if you continue to have problems, this site might be able to assist you (UK Law):
http://www.swarb.co.uk/phpbb/
Mods; this is a forum much the same as essayscam (no profit motivation and nothing to do with me). Please delete and accept my apology if I have misinterpreted the rules on this.

You mean, by clicking on the link that appears at the bottom of every page on this site?
DrDavies: http://www.swarb.co.uk/phpbb/
This site has nothing to do with essay services whatsoever, and so in no way could be considered an advertisement/recommendation for such services--why are you worried?
Of course, the info here will only be useful if both OP and the writer are in the same legal jurisdiction.

pheelyks I know it sounds strange :-) But the link originally informed 'No data', but worked on the third attempt.

hmm thanks for all the replies,well it's a 2000w essay and i gave him like 3 weeks ago!
I told him the real deadline is 16th but since he's always late so I hope this time he can finish it a bit before it. he told me he could finish by 9th and gave it to me,so that's the deal,it's 14th night and he didn't drop a word since I gave him my coursework info.i've been trying to reach him but till now i haven't got any reply yet.
hmm then i'll post his name tomorrow I guess.i hope at the moment there's no one in my situation apart from me lol...

Tell everybody who it is already. Help protect other students and the reputations of all the other responsible writers here. Let him explain here if he wants to respond and let him know that if this is how he does business, it will be exposed here.

his username on this forum is "essay_writer_sk",at first he lied to me his from the UK ,but I checked and found out he's actually from India or something.and he admited it after i broke his lie.
but there's a question,since he only gave me half of the work, which means nothing to me,should i still pay him the rest ? i only paid the first half when we were making agreements and deadline.

What is it that you're really trying to achieve by this discussion which seems to turn into a more non-sense chatter now?

Yes. You should also send me $50 for answering this question. Meanwhile, I have some land under a bridge I'd like to sell you.

Hello, humble much? Why would supposedly reputable writers hang out at a site called ESSAYSCAM for years? Don't they have some writing work to do?

Who else do you think has actual knowledge about how scams work?
Your question is also sorely lacking in logic. It's like saying, "Why is that car mechanic at an amusement park? Doesn't he have cars to be fixing?" Just because I work as a writer doesn't mean I spend 24/7 writing.
