Looks like fraud to me. 2500 writers? All MAs and Phds? Sometimes the company only gets $15/page....and yet a person with a masters or doctorate would work for that little?

The offshore, lawless, scumbag owner of customessayservice.info is nothing more than a domain scraper of the lowest order. As far as I can tell, he has scraped (stolen) the domain name of every major site in the industry, using each of those names as part of a new, .info domain (which is the cheapest type of domain to buy):

UPDATE

The scumbag has two other sites that he would like to keep secret:

research-papers-production.com
freeresearchpapers.us

Is anyone surprised that research-papers-production.com has advertising on Russian and Ukrainian sites (pass.net.ru, royalmarin.ru/contact.html, rusbrides.org.ua, etc.)?

Bestessays.com is not that trustworthy.
I tried the 24/7 chat service..and it almost seemed like I was talking to a foreigner.
Since my first language is not English..I was nearly fooled but I found this website and

2500 writers? All MAs and Phds it seems that all these writers just volunteer to write for nothing out of the kindness of their hearts! It will take allot of essays to pay off a student loan at those prices! HA, I say first rate scam!

Hey there :)

First, I want to tell that I'm from Customer Care Department. I'm surprised to see this thread.


Someone pretending David sent me email with paper quote. He lied that one of his friends used our service and was happy with it. As we have a lot of new customers who become our loyal clients that way, it was not suspicious. He insisted then to call. I gave him Skype ID. Someone

called me. I declined suspicious call. Then he again lied that he didn't call and already placed order with ******.com

That's the story :)
------------

Now.

We do pay our writers. We pay them a fair price. We hire native writers to assure top quality.

Is foreign-based customer care = unqualified or low-paid writers? Please, proof here! During the financial crisis outsourcing is really helpful and favorable method to reduce costs and stay on track.

If any of our writers want to tell publicly that we do not pay or pay them low/unfair price, please, tell! If anyone has proof that we hire ESL writers, please, tell me. That's a lie.

We have lots of satisfied customers who love using our service. That's the best proof of our good work and good quality.

Now. Abt these websites. I don't know what seo ppl we hire do to promote websites. If anyone prove that these websites violating copyright or officially registered trademark we'll ask them to remove/delete that. As they are good in what they do, we do not spy on them.

Thank you for understanding. I'm honest with you.

You are always welcome! I'm happy working for them, I'm a mother with 2 children and it's quite difficult to earn here enough to support my family. Customer care dept is one thing, although it sounded quite discriminative that foreign based customer support = poor service. I got offended first, but really, errare humanum est and it is difficult to objectively judge ppl and services you don't know.
I'm doing all my best replying to all requests and trying to keep customers satisfied. I know that one of the toughest parts of running a business is building customer loyalty, and I'm happy as most of them come back to order essays. They don't care about my mistakes, as they are happy with good quality of our essays written by native US writers.

Our owners keep low margins to make clients happy and to pay writers as much as they can.

Anyway, I'm happy that everything is ok now :))

I also checked abt these websites, probably, SEO optimizers did unethical thing, but there is no violation as none of these names were/are registered trademarks.

Yea they took everyone from the search results and tried to hijack their site names, that sounds like a good company who cares about paying writers as much as possible (because it is clear to see they did not spend the money on web design considering most of the sites are just a screen shot!)

If they have a Ukrainian IP and this lady got a Skype call from someone in Ukraine, then where is the mystery here Sherlock Holmes? That was more than likely one of their "Native American Writers" calling after a hard day of hunting buffalo on the open plains. You know I got a phone call 3 weeks ago from a telemarketer named David, sweet Jesus what if it is the same guy... just calling people?

Hey, customessayserviceinfo, I have a newsflash for you: your excuses don't fly. You are a thief—plain and simple. The proof is in the pudding. You are the Ukrainian owner of the domains. (Your return emails to me came from a Ukrainian IP ADDRESS!) Therefore, you are a thieving scoundrel who's trying to unfairly profit from the work and trademarks of others. The one and ONLY way for you to prove that you are not a scoundrel is to immediately cancel ALL of those domains.

That's only the tip of the iceberg. Since I already own every essay site and forum in the US and UK, I've decided to branch out. I am currently in negotiations with both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. I plan to launch "AppleSoft" in Spring, 2011.
