Hi,
I have been writing for essaywriters.net on and off for a year now and have never experienced any problems relating to false plagerism reports or unfair fines. I have had a number of issues relating to unfair revision requests and the site's inability to support the writer during such occasions but I think this is to be expected given some of the idiots who request papers on there.
However, last week I was due a payment of $310 dollars. This wasn't made. I contacted "Susan" who said that she didn't know why it hadn't been paid and that I could be assured it would be paid eventually. I have since cancelled all my current orders and am awaiting payment. In the meantime I have emailed them twice and received no response.
Today I see that essaywriters.net, bestessays and superior papers are all offline and my browser has been unable to open the paper because the "server isn't responding". I can access the page through my mobile phone but can't do much from there. Has anyone else had this problem?
I am very concerned because I am owed in excess of $1000 dollars for papers I have written. Does anyone know the phone number for the support operation there?
Thanks.

Stig, you're yet another victim. Their track record proves that they pay for a while, and then withold large balances when the "opportunity is right."
I can see their sites just fine. If you can't, they intentionally blocked you.

I guess there's not much I can do about it.
Do you have the contact telephone number from the website so that I can call them?

The Stig: Does anyone know the phone number
The Stig, A few months ago, I was in your place. I am an excellent writer with two doctorates, doing another research, and can write on varied subjects. All my work was gratefully accepted by the students and many had sent words of appreciation. This wicked group of people held back more than $1800 saying there was a delay with the billing company, then by refusing to answer the calls, while I worked sincerely and the amount accumulated. After some following up, I knew that I was wasting my time and left this mafia. There is nothing one could do; they are the experts in the game. Please do not work for this group, Project1stclass and Masterpapers. They pay for a while to gain your confidence and compel you to wait while the amount increases and go underground however good you are in your craft.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. I called them today and they said that I have nothing to worry about at all and that it is simply a billing problem? Seems to match with your experience.
I guess I am still hoping that they will pay up. I still can't access the website from my own computer but can log on from other people's computers. It all seems very strange. I wonder why they haven't simply blocked my access completely.
None of this makes good business sense. They have a good operating model and are clearly making money, why refuse to pay your good writers? Sooner or later they will run out of people who are prepared to write for them!

Wrong--there is a never-ending stream of gullible writers.

Whilst we notice the decreasing number of orders that come their way, we see that they are reaping the bitter fruits of their greed. In the previous years of the same period, the number of orders were triple the orders posted now in these sites.
'What you sow, you'll reap.'
'What goes around comes around.'
As they are severely blinded by obtaining more and more profits by screwing writers, they become oblivious of the looming danger posed on their businesses - a decreasing number of orders and a likewise plummeting confidence of both consumers and writers.

Hi,
I actually received payment from essay writers last night for the amount that was overdue to me. I am pretty relieved!
I think I will hold off writing until the remainder is paid over the next few weeks.
Thanks everyone for their advice.

I understand your relief, and congratulate you on squeezing out some payment, but I still feel obligated to give you a last piece of unsolicited advice.
I used to work for this crazy outfit, too. While Essaywriters.net paid me somewhat regularly when I began my employment with them (this was in mid-2006), by 2007 they'd begun to song-and-dance me, paying me late or only partially, and by the end of that year (2007), they began their present strategy of never paying me at all. My husband and I have virtually lost track of the amount of money they owe me because of their constant policy changes over the months I was regularly writing for them, and their weird withholding practices and random payments which followed no predictable pattern.
Clearly I've ceased writing for them, although I keep my account active in case, by some unlikely miracle, a dime drops into it some day. I know it's a relief to get money of any kind from them, and, again, this is unsolicited advice, but I think you should not only hold off on writing for them again until you see the remainder of your money, but forever.
Once you see the rest of your money, then frankly, run like hell.
That's just my advice from one who's been burned.

The best thing that ripped-off writers can do is write blog posts about EssayWriters.net's fraudulent practices and FAKE address. Link to the following URL with the word, "EssayWriters.net":

Dont work for essays writers if u want to make a monster load of cash. These Ukranian bastards have a plan where they only pay a maximum of aboout $300-$400 a month. If you attempt to earn over this amount they wont pay and just make excuse after excuse after excuse and eventually cancel your account and take on new writers and do the same to them. If u want to stick to them take a couple of orders but dont go over $300. I know its not much but better than nothing i suppose.

Don't write for them at all, period.

I got the exact same run around from "Susan" as well. I had 2 papers due this weekend, one was 7 pages and the other was 30 pages (at an amazing $4 a page - why I took this, I'll never know). When they missed their payment, I told them I would not submit the papers until they paid me for the work I had already done. The clients cancelled their orders, and they're fining me $70 for not meeting my obligations. They finally paid me yesterday - the 21st, four days late -
I started doing this for extra money and because I enjoy writing papers. I'm done with them now. If they want to use barely literate ESLs to do their papers, more power to them.

O.O

Sadly, they still have me. :p However, I don't move a muscle for them unless it's at least $8/page. I think their style of slowly raising the cpp as the deadline nears is very counterproductive.
