It's a big shame that writers.ph is claiming to be a Filipino company but just making a FOOL out of the Filipino writers and the innocent clients.
I started as a writer for this company 4 months ago and until now, I haven't received my payment yet. The staff of writers.ph were just making a fool out the writers. Your income will be deducted by a revision request or a plagiarism check. It was unfair since you know for yourself that what you have written are really of quality and with properly acknowledged sources.
Lately, I learned that I was paid my salary already, yet no amount is credited to my account. Mahiya naman kayo mga taga Writers.ph. Makakarma kayo nyan.
To all aspiring writers out there, don't be fooled by this company.
NAPAKALAKING KAHIHIYAN SA MGA PINOY!!

Maybe This person could help you voice your concerns!
This is a quote from some Thomas who had posted:
Hi,
I'm a reporter for the Chronicle of Higher Education and I'm working on a story about custom-written essays. I'd very much like to talk to current and former essay writers to see what their experience has been like. I'd also like to talk to some students who have been able to use custom-written essays.
Here's my e-mail address:
thomas.bartlett[the at symbol]chronicle.com
If you wish to remain anonymous, that's fine. Thanks in advance for the help.
Thomas

I really didn't know all of these. I just got my salary last week, after two long months of completing and changing my payment info. I had no plagiarism problems but I got one deduction for late upload. Maybe there's just something wrong with payment info?

sometimes their software picks up quotations as plagiarism, and you can contact them about it and convince them to reduce or eliminate the fine. sometimes.
I have plagiarised myself before. sometimes I just tell the client, "look, you're not just supposed to hand it in. you have to change parts. I've written like 10 of these; I'm going to repeat myself." sometimes they are cool about it.

that was just advice. if essaywriters.net is associated with this company, they probably rip off their writers with unrealistic and outrageous fines. you should work for a company that treats their writers better.

I was browsing through the website last night about several academic writing services that I used to work for before I started looking for another writing company when I came across one forum, actually, a couple of forums/sites, that all talked trash about Writers.Ph. I couldn't help but shake my head and roll my eyes as I remember how I tried to defend this company once because I thought it was legit given the fact that they were paying me. Well I was dead wrong. The legitimacy of a company does not only end in the monetary issue; it has to cover several policies which they have imposed; policies that they occasionally violate. Once a particular policy does not go to their advantage, they will devise something, a strategy, to make it work for them.
What they actually do is, when you're a starter, they will pay you and make things seem so smooth-going. Naturally, one would think everything is ok. But when you've been working for them for one year and is in the status where you are making big amount of money, they will come up with something to either delay the payment, or deduct you with unreasonable fines that will leave you with a very small amount of money in the end!
Here is what had happened to my account. I took one project that cost over a hundred dollars. Writers.PH has its own messaging system for each order page, and I was in constant communication with my client then. When I had uploaded the paper, the client didn't ask for a revision request using the system (meaning it wasn't transferred to completed status back into the Current Order status). He only messaged me asking to add a couple of words and to add some more information and even said that he likes the paper. I was pleased, of course. Because it was only through messaging system that theclient asked for the revision, I was not under the pressure of time to submit it. There was no deadline ticking. The deadline was just between me and myclient . As I was about to check the status of my completed order that afternoon, I found that that particular order has been canceled! When the order's status is set to canceled, that normally means it was canceled by theclient. I was very confused because it didn't seem to be consistent with our chat history. Anyway, I thought the client decided it wasn't a good paper so I just decided to accept that I lost a big amount of money from an order that I have worked hard for. Just leave it, I said to myself. You can't please people. But what happened next shocked me to the very core. I got a new message from myclient still asking for updates on the paper, as if nothing had happened! He was like "Oh and one more thing, kindly do this and that, and take your time because I'm in no rush... just make sure you get everything perfect..." And I was like.... What the hell.....??
As it had turned out, the client didn't cancel the order. In fact, he had absolutely no idea what the company he paid for is doing! What Writers.PH didn't know is that, the paper wasn't finished yet and the client and I constantly communicate. Actually, Writers.PH didn't know the communication was still open. And that's where I got them! It was a big slap on my face that they are stealing money from me all along!!! I went back to all my completed orders that were still unpaid and they all showed that all orders amounting to $80 and above were either fined or delayed! God! Please, if you're a writer who just signed up to be one of their freelancewriters , then may God be with you. Try not to earn more than a hundred dollars, otherwise you will get it three months after or worst, you'll never get it at all.

Hi Baker,
I am a new member here. I recently found out that essaywriters.net, the sister company of writers.ph is a scam. I hate to admit it but I have been fooled. They terminated my account because of plagiarism when all I did was refer to online sources. I, of course put that in the references page and they haven't paid me still. I recently found out that this has been going on for quite some time now which I did not know when I first started writing for them. I will sue them and make sure that they close down. Some of the feedback from the students seem to be very detailed that it appears like they can do the paper on their own. I guess that's where the scam comes in. Essaywriters staff pretend that those comments are from the client to free themselves of having to pay their writers.

Hi! guys, like most of you here I was also cheated and robbed by these academic sites not only one site but four sites. They are actually sister companies. They promised writers to pay 20% of what they actually charge to the clients and because I need a job while staying home with my kids, I decided to accept the offer. I already posted the details on the forum about the spammers and robbers. I have learned from that really traumatic experience. We all know the feelings of not getting paid for all the hard works we have done. I decided to work independently and build my own site. It is a writers cooperative actually with 50%-50% sharing for all the projects. Now I have a contract for web writing and I need translators in different languages for Germans, Danish, Spanish and French. I decided to comeback to the forum because I know many of you are looking for a job and maybe we can help each other.
here is my email: hughvoski@gmail.com

Was the slap on your face? If what you told is true, you can be satisfied that the company has got the big slap on its face.
Why can't we donate to build an organization like "Legal Help For Victims of Cyber Crime"? We will have Cyber Investigation Agents who will inspect and collect proofs of spam of any site. And finally we will take legal steps against these spammers and also we can help other anti cybercrime Organizations.

Indeed no cretin will be allowed. But if you think that you are not a cretin, you may join with us. Remember!! I have kicked on WRT's ass because of his dirty behavior. If you are like him, you are going to be the next to get the kick.

Hi Portiamalejana,
I'm very sorry this has happened to you. Because of similar experiences, I have decided to built my own clientele. I would strongly suggest doing the same if you may have time. Good luck!

Gee, I wonder why you seem to have a response to every thread/topic on the forum. What I gave was a "suggestion." No one is not "preaching." There's a BIG difference.

nw2010: You're English is not good enough to write academic papers. Go back to school before you try to "built your own clientele." And get spell check, at the very least.

Only Pheelyks got that ability..... all others are stupid..... Pheelyks what is your qualification? I am sure based on your superior English you must have tried your hand on other subjects too.... the subjects that you might never have studied but since you got great great English writing skills (I doubt that Shakespeare's wandering soul must have been in contact with you from hell to get tuition from you to improve his English? I am sure you must have advised him to try his hand at writing technical papers on Econo-physics too because he got Good English Writing skills so he got the license to write on every subject regardless of your knowledge of the subject)...... you can write on anything
You are idiot really.... a completely biased hypocrite from the planet of Apes.....

No, there are actually many people I know--including many people that post here--that are capable of writing English that is free from grammatical errors, usage issues, and syntax problems. You, fracturegang, anky, nw2010, and several others simply can't. There's no shame in it; it's only a problem when you try to make a living at it without telling your customers what your real skill level is.
