newbie here. Just curious as every time I apply for a job I find the email comes back from academic answers as well as the company it advertised under. does anyone know the companies under this umbrella or even the ones that are not, so as to avoid this embarrassing situation?
incidentally I found a list claiming to include all essay companies, useful for anyone who wants to write for any of these companies or even use them for essays It has taken me ages to find something like this, tho it is 2007

Hello Writingpot,
I work for Academic Answers, I'm not able to post links here, but if you visit our website (or type it in Google, it's first.) If you click 'about us' and then on the left menu click 'portfolio' you'll see a list of all of our websites. There's no need to apply for more than one website, so this list will help you wasting your time filling out all of our forms...!
Good luck!

writingpot DONT apply to academic knowledge. They will find any excuse to fine you 300% meaning you could lose all your month's salary for just one essay. Be warned

vishkanya: They will find any excuse to fine you 300% meaning you could lose all your month's salary for just one essay.
I am confused:
1) are you a customer and, if so, how would you know about the fine structure?
2) are you a writer who produced "shoddy" work and were, rightly, called to order?

Writing pot im neither a customer or a writer for them but i know of one person who used to write for them. He was looking forward to his £1560 which he worked hard for but academic knowledge pounced and took it away with a 300% fine. He already had financial problems and virtually begged them to at give him that money because he had children and a mortgage but all they said was "the fine stands". I personally despise such people. I know a person though who killed himself after getting a plariasied paper from these rip off merchants. His uni failed him. I knew his family and his sister told me that he had bought a plagiarised paper from ukessays. Here is the story. Even his sadass lecturer wouldn't forgive him. Sad case but my advise is that you should neither work nor purchase for/from such companies.

Vishkanya, who are you? Writer? Customer?
In some posts, you claim to be a customer:
vishkanya: Don't assign your work to muntazir unless you want to fail. I did and got 31% but that was my fault for choosing him. He's writes likes a 4 year old.
vishkanya: I'm studying business not law.
vishkanya: well im not a writer nor can i be arsed to write for essays for essay companies but i would never employ a non native writer work on an essay for me. I did it once cos money was tight and paid the price for shoddy work. That was my mistake.
In others, you claim to be a writer:
vishkanya: dont work for them whatever you do, there are 2 things this company is good at, ripping of customers and writers but they will never ever dip into their own kitty , they are greedy B's, dont work for them whatever you do
vishkanya: I wouldn't touch academic knowledge with a barge pole as a writer. They are the biggest sadass con aristists you can come across ie fine writers 300%.
vishkanya: I wouldn't waste my time applying to Academic Knowledge as the chances of you being allocated work are 1 in 100. I know a friend whose application was accepted and bid after bid after bid and 2 years on he has yet to be allocated any work. He is on the bronze level and asked ukessays to increase it to at least silver but they declined saying that he needs to prove his worth. How the hell does someone prove his/her worth when they can't even get any work. Ukessays is for established researchers only so i wouldn't waste my time applying.
You unequivocally dispute the contention that you are a writer:
vishkanya: well im not a writer nor can i be arsed to write for essays for essay companies
Again, you deny that you are a customer:
vishkanya: Writing pot im neither a customer
You need to get your story straight.
As for this whole thing about a student committing suicide because he received a plagiarised essay from ukessays, do you think any believe you? I read the article you cited and, nowhere was UKessays mentioned.
This whole thing about `a friend told me' is tired and old. Few fall for it.
My problem with `imaginative' posts is very simple. Wild accusations, untruthful complaints, etc. negatively reflect upon the genuine ones. Customers and writers who were really scammed are grouped with the `I am pretending to have been cheated because of ulterior motives' posts.
Keep the complaints truthful, please; keep the accusations believable. Do not turn this forum into some kind of `let's spread rumours about the competition' arena.

he asked me if i was a customer of ukessays. No im not. I was a customer on essaybay which what this refers to -
vishkanya:
Don't assign your work to muntazir unless you want to fail. I did and got 31% but that was my fault for choosing him. He's writes likes a 4 year old
Well i dont give a monkeys whether or not you believe me. Im just warning customers that they should either do their work themselves or get a decent company to do it. As for you WRT i can tell you are an employee of academic knowledge so you cant fool anyone.

Actually, I am not. We are competitors but, some believe that competition can be `clean.' If you have a legitimate complaint, I'll clap my hands raw but, as far as I can see, your posts are contradictory.
Again - if you are an essaybay customer, why are you going on and on about their 300% fine. You gave everyone the impression that you were the downtrodden writer. Turns out that you are not.
Had you stuck to your negative experiences as a customer, I would have been very eager to listen. You didn't, though, did you?
1) you claimed that you know a student who committed suicide as a direct consequence of UKessays' quality of service. You referenced an article as evidence. Guess what? Your so-called evidence proves nothing. The company's name is not mentioned at all, nor is it stated that the student was ever accused of plagiarism.
2) you claimed that they fined you 300% and then amended your statement, claiming that they fined a friend. Again, why are you here? Why isn't your friend here?
3) in some posts you clearly identify yourself as a customer
4) in other posts you explicitly state that you are a writer
I believe that I am perfectly justified in not believing you.
Fining is wrong and unacceptable but, I cannot sympathise with writers who agreed to it in the first place.
You claim that the fine was unjustified. How so? Give us facts to go by; any facts to believe and support you.

WRT i used to be a writer for Academic answers quite some time ago and was also a victim of their 300% fine system. They refused to reconsider despite the fact that I did the extra work requested by the customer.
I quit immediately and do not regret my decision one iota as they used to constantly bombard you with emails as well as keep pestering to get you to become a staff writer so that they can force you to do all the crap that no one else wants to do.

Exwriter - you, I believe. Your story has always been consistent. I do not, however, believe the other poster. His/her story is full of inconsistencies. At one point, s/he claims to be a writer and, at another, a customer. Ultimately, says s/he is neither.
When people use this forum for the sole purpose of dissing other companies, it is simply not right. The line between the legitimate and the false complaints is blurring. It is important to point out the senseless complaints before they drown out the legitimate ones.
