I'm looking at Oxbridge Researchers website at the minute, UK address, Companies House certificate etc. Are there any threads on here which cover this group please? It looks genuine but a couple of things concern me a little and I'd like to look at them more closely. Anything on here please?
Also, could I ask, is the information in the history of the forum still current for MasterPapers or have they improved in the last couple of years please?

Hi Polly,
If you have any questions regarding the company, you need to get in touch with us directly.
No - MP still pays peanuts and has a writer fining system in place.
As for whose threads to follow - WritersBeware. She gives it straight and that is the ONLY REASON why people attack her here. They don't want to be exposed and that is precisely what she does. Follow her threads and you won't, as a writer, get scammed.

Ah thank you! I'll have a full read through this. Exactly what I was searching for. I'm not sure how this was bumped up via another thread, but I appreciate it.
I appreciate the feedback regarding MP too from both of you.

Polly: I appreciate the feedback regarding MP too from both of you.
Only apply if you are willing to work for per page rates which range from $4-8 (on average); expose yourself to an unethical writer fining system; and deal with really idiotic admin (not to mention Alexei - the owner). It is too much of a hassle. Don't put yourself through it.
Polly - for PhD writers (if they can verify they degrees) - most legits pay $9-20+ per page. And you, as a writer, are never fined, are always paid your dues, and are not subjected to endless revision requests which often deviate from the original instructions provided.
Personally speaking - I would recommend that you `try' the companies out first. Some (the ones whom we should rightfully call the industry's founders - SNR, CP, etc), enjoy an unblemished reputation.
In the UK (and whatever else any may claim) - the leading company is AA. Many have `lifted' its slogan and dishonestly proclaim themselves the leading providers - not true.
What I'm saying here is that there is no need for you to get discouraged - there are countless `iffy' companies out there but there are also some EXCELLENT ones.

Thank you WRT, for a really constructive reply. I'm researching so much before applying to any because I really don't wish to send my certificates, name, details, cv etc to a scam company and have them able to hold this information on their computers. In the UK we have Data Protection, and a similar system in the USA, but there would probably be nothing to prevent a Ukraine scam set-up taking those details and carrying out professional identity theft.
Maybe I'm too cynical.
Or maybe not. After some of the things I have read on here this last couple of days I believe caution to be the better approach. Thank you again for the reply

You are not being over-cautious but wise.

You should look for other reputable companies/writers. Simple. However, personally, I don't think the Essayist is a scam.

It would be nice if you share with us some fact-based evidence so that we also learn about the scam this company is up to.

Dray - order number NOW. Either that or confirm what I know: you are a liar.
Thousands of dollars?!
Unsatisfied?!
Yet, you kept placing order after order with the company?
Are you insane or, quite simply, a very transparent liar?
