Well, they're not instantaneous. Usually takes 3 to 5 days. Although the last two took two weeks. >.< The payment in my writer account has updated also for Jan 1 - 3. The money's not yet in the bank though. Let's hope that there aren't any more delays.

Oh, really? I thought wire is better than xoom. Xoom transactions are usually instantaneous. I wonder when they'll allow xoom payments again. What caused the two-week delay?

Imee, maybe your payment will be sent today.

Wire is the safest (thus best) way of sending money since it's bank to bank. Xoom never worked for me. :( Maybe it only works for some countries. The two week delays on both payments were supposedly caused by their new bank. That's why I'm fearful that we might experience the same delay for this payment.

They said the problem was fixed. I hope so. ",)

Yeah it reflected on my earnings too that I got paid January 3 but no money in the bank yet. The bank said it takes 2- 3days, saturday tomorrow so i guess next week. I hope there's no more delays.

NO NO NO~ DO NOT WORK FOR WRITERS.PH a.k.a. essaywriters.net / essaywriters.com

Let me tell you about the sad case of my friend who worked there...

she is now waiting for and check this $574.90 and $ 61.40 from her work for dec 15 to Dec 30.

she was terminated before the end of dec 30 because of her handler.
she was absent a day after christmas.
they used this as an excuse to "let her go"

apparently, using all capital letters for writing to customer support was one of the things also hahahaha CITED as a reason to terminate her.

but be that the case, my friend is entitled to her earnings.
What is even sadder is that she already had earnings up to March 2008. the amount quoted above is only for two weeks of work.

she wrote very well, thank you....

We're going to the police soon. We can't get to the Mizyuks (get it? the Miss Yucks)
but we can get to their Filipino dogs...yes, they are dogs. Dogs acting like managers and handlers.

don't heed this warning and be sorry you didn't.

thanks. y'all have a nice day.

I think I know why your friend was terminated. One, she may have been excessively rude. You can always complain and whine and do whatever makes you happy as long as you keep it in a professional level. Or you do it in a forum like this one. Two, she had plagiarism complaints. Her earnings for a two-week period gets paid after two weeks. That means, those that were moved to March contained texts that could be found on other published papers. How she writes is not a question, it's simply the amount of the so-called "plagiarized" texts. Plagiarism could be unintentional, you know.

To be fair to Essay Writers, their representatives are helpful and not rude. As you've noticed, we've waited two weeks to get paid. And we got paid. It's probably because we knew how to properly demand what's our due.

If we could all be professionals in how we deal with the writing agencies, there'll be world peace. LOL. ",)

and there is 'unintentional' rudeness
but it shouldn't matter since someone already called the owners " criminals"

and there's really nothing wrong with sounding rude if you're talking to people who
work for criminals.

these writers didn't know they were talking to criminals.

then it would have been a case of intentional rudeness.

who pays you to defend the company?

that's what you probably got paid for.


go defend them, as you wish.

i read my friend's messages, SMS and email and the lot. we're friends.
they weren't rude. they were all justifiable.

she actually already submitted an article for the PDI about our old "employers."

PDI online also.

So there. if she doesn't get paid she still gets to keep her dignity. It is not as if she is just going to keep quiet when like the saying reads " why not go national?"

professionalism is relative, especially when dealing with no-good doers.

but then again, there is a professional way of dealing with writing agencies which behave under an illegal code.

they get their names splashed on national dailies and on tv.

its not a waste a time, compared to the "class law suit" action that other writers here are demanding.

you only defended essay writers you didn't defend writers.ph

writers.ph doesn't need defending.

you guys are going to get such bad karma.

This is so funny. :D I read your stuff from the AccessEssays thread as well and I had quite a laugh. Why do I get the feeling that this "she" that you're talking about is actually a "me"? >.<

ah natuwa ka pala, EW_Writer. buti naman na napa-haha ka rin.
kasi kami rin, natatawa sa inyo. "We" at essaywriters diba, kamo?

bakit kasi marunong ka mag-basa ng IP address? huh? hi-tech scammers, hmmmm?

eh sa mga open ang mga bahay namin sa isa't-isa, eh? problema mo? hindi kami
" tawagin niyo rin kami sa pangalan na..." " itago niyo ako sa pangalan na: damien,
irene, ann, tracy, at ang paborito naming si maggie.

umalis ka nga dito, para 'to sa mga complainants, hindi para sa mga nag-scam na fake.

sa bagay, tumawa ka lang, dito ka lang makakatakas eh. mag-isip ka nga...
gusto mo bang maputulan ng dalawang kamay, para...

sino bang #1 na "me" ang akala mo, ha? diba walang special treatment, so...why would you assume that someone was specially hurt?


translation:

ah so you found it funny, ei? well that's good to know, that you were able to say a haha.
since we likewise find you guys funny in a sardonic way. you cheat your workers and you monitor their rants and raves?

you did write "we" at essaywriters, right?

why? because you know how to detect IP address(es), hmmmm? but our houses are open to one another, what's your problem, huh?

we're not like you guys who hide under different names and go by different names: damien, irene, ann, and our good, good, best favorite, maggie.

could you have some grace and not get your kicks from reading posts here? this site is for complainants. not for those who scammed people. not for the fakes.

no, go and laugh, on second thought. since you can get away with it here.
but only here, hopefully.

could you like, think for a bit?
what if both your hands were cut off so that...

who would be the #1 'me' that you assume is the me here? if there's no special treatment in the scammers company, why would anybody be specially hurt by this?



added:

we were all, equally, scammed.

are you some kind of invincible god? reality check: you're not.
and thanks to this: we're seriously contemplating " do unto others...."

(christian ka pa naman....kunwari- M.L.)

Oh thank God there was a translation. ^_^ Errm... forgive me if I don't explain what I posted. #1, I've got quite a few orders to take care of. #2, your English hurts my eyes. #3, I'm sure the rest of the people here understand who I meant by "me" (well, at least the rest that count). ^_^

Hi! I'm also working for writers.ph. Did you get your payment from them? I was supposed to get it this Jan 1-3.

The original payment term stated in my profile was through xoom (since it is included in the payment options). When I asked about the delay, they told me that they already forwarded my payment details to their accounting department, for verification. So, I told them that it's okay and then I asked for an estimated pay date. They then told me that they can't give me that info, but they are trying to hasten the process.

And so, I gave them additional information about my bank details, with the hope that it can help them, somehow.

The next time I checked my account, they altered my profile and changed the payment details from "xoom.com" to "Wire Transfer to Philippines". I then keyed in new details for the Wire Transfer, and sent them a message asking for advise regarding which payment option was the best.

They then told me that xoom.com is no longer a payment option for writers in the Philippines. So, apparently the only option I have is the Wire Transfer. Aside from that, I 'm back to where I started- waiting for the accounting department to verify my payment details.

I don't know if this whole process is part of a scam or not. Is it? How many of you have been paid by writers.ph? And, can you possibly tell me how many days will it take the accounting dept to verify the details, based on your experience? Thanks so much. Answers will be very appreciated![b][/b]

Just what I thought. Accused again of getting paid to defend Essay Writers. LOL. Really, you're funny. Did you actually read all the previous posts here? And you know, It'd would help your cause if you'll make your posts more, er, readable?

It'll be interesting to actually see you make good of your threats. :)

And yes, EW, you don't need to explain the "me" in your post. I wonder why emjay seemed confused. ",)

@Cas: While many people claimed to have been scammed by Easy Writers, which I think is the "parent" company of Writers.ph , some of us here have been receiving payments, albeit some delays. I also had the xoom to wire problem that caused my Dec. 15 payment to get paid on Jan. 3. Waiting for two weeks to get paid was alarming, more so because many people were saying bad things about EW.

As for the verification process, it takes 24 to 48 hours. Everything is actually written on the system guide portion of EW's site. I don't know if Writers.ph has the same facility.

I have been writing for writers.ph for a month now. I have not received my first salary for January 1- January 3, 2008. They deleted my xoom account details and my wire transfer information was set as the primary salary transfer.

I checked with my bank yesterday if I received any payments and they told me that there is none. I will check again next week.

I have been sending messages to writers.ph regarding my salary transfer. I'll see if what happens next.

@pepi:

It always helps to be assertive in a good way. As you've said in a post in a different thread, antagonizing them might not help you at all. I agree. There are different ways to win. Being foolish is simply not one of them.

I feel sorry for those that haven't received payment from writers.ph. I really hope you all get your due.

TO PEPI: Hi! would just like to ask. Have they verified your payment details already? Thanks

@margie

Did you get your earnings in your bank already?

:(

Imee: Not yet. I'm positive it's going to be this week. Cheer up! :)

@Cas yes, writers.ph verified my account details a week ago.
