Melissa Madgwick 65 Lawn Avenue Bradbury Sydney, New South Wales 2560 Australia (024) 626-2919 +61.0246262919 mmadgwick@hotmail.com academicacorp@gmail.com
"Borrowing" content from other companies seems to be a disturbing pattern that Ms. Melissa Madgwick has adopted. In fact, she is on public record as having paid a third party to "clone" (i.e., steal) the design and functionality of masterpapers.com for her own site, classaessays.com. Proof:

Now, Ms. Madgwick (and/or her partner) has apparently stolen content and design elements from EssayScam.org as the basis for directly competing against EssayScam.org. Proof:

Public records indicate that Melissa Madgwick owns (i.e., "registered") at least the following sites:
academicaeducation.com academicawriters.com classaessays.com essayscamalert.com priorityessays.com

Checked out the sites you listed WB and, guess what?! Academicaeducation.com is "borrowed" from Academic Answers. Someone should take some screenshots and send them to Jennifer.

WRT: Checked out the sites you listed WB and, guess what?! Academicaeducation.com is "borrowed" from Academic Answers. Someone should take some screenshots and send them to Jennifer. I was already working on that, actually. The following screen capture evidences a third act of intellectual property theft (and misappropriation of the name and image of "Academic Answers Ltd.") by Melissa Madgwick:

As one can see, Ms. Madgwick "borrowed" content from "Academic Answers Ltd." Her apparent disregard for competitors' intellectual property and unfair competition laws is unsettling.

WritersBeware: priorityadmissionhelp.com check it out, espcially the e-book with the admission essay samples; `borrowed' from admissionsessays.com
WritersBeware: mywriteteam.com borrowed from articlesandbeyond.com compare, for example, www.mywriteteam.com/services.php to www.articlesandbeyond.com/Services.html
Appears to be quite fond of `borrowing' :) Yes, students will definitely receive original, plagiarism-free, work from this company (tongue-in-cheek)

WB, it appears that you are amongst those she borrowed from. Take a look at the screenshot images from the Collingwood Enterprise Bulletin (the first is a Yuri/Best Essays marketing article and the second is Priority Essays' comment):
To those who don't know, Priority Essay's commentary is a copy of posts WB made here on essayscam :)

I can't believe she's done this :-( She's left in links to our site, including our email address. Sort of funny because it's so blatent and then bad at the same time as we're being associated with her 'company'.
I'm taking a complete cache of the site and I've emailed her to ask her to remove it - I'm going to look at what else we can do under the DMCA though.
I found out about this from someone called xxxx, who emailed me today. They sent me a mail before about some dispute they had going on with Melissa, who they claimed was pretending to be Oxbridge Writers (one of our websites). Melissa replied with a chat log of them both talking about hacking our website/database. Anyone heard of these two? I gather from her mails that Melissa's not a big fan of yours WB!

Fracturegang: I told you earlier that I am a programmer. If you stick to programming, you are more than welcome and I no longer have any problem with you.
Fracturegang, please try to understand our point of view. I, for example, know very little about professional programming or graphic design. Were I, and countless others, to invade your industry and offer our services as professional freelance programmers, we would be harming the rest of you - the real professionals. Your industry will end up with a horrid reputation and you, as all freelance programers, would be regarded as scammers, etc. This is precisely what is happening to our industry - the professional writing one. That is why we get so angry.
We have the same problem with many of the companies in our industry. Look at the example which WB uncovered and exposed here. A person who claims to provide students with plagiarism-free work has plagiarised entire webcopies from other sites. The consequences are 1) customer confusion: when a website owner spouts the name Academic Answers on his/her website, customers will assume that it is part of the AA group 2) webcopies cost money, time and effort. What gives any the right to steal that? The list goes on and on and the end result is that the industry gets a bad reputation.
I hope you can now appreciate the reason why people like Melissa, Yuri, Alexei, Eugene and Co. make us so angry and why poor quality writers (nationality is not the issue) bring out our aggressive side.

Well said, my friend.
I wasn't born to English speaking parents. I had to go through a lot of correction before I gained the skills that allow me to compete and earn a living in this industry. I will never claim to be a programmer. Some ESLs take for granted that "writing in proper English" is a skill, much like programming is. If you can't write, you have two choices; learn how to write properly or don't write for a living.

Is this Melissa character simply stupid or is she arrogant? Now, this is criminal!

Would like to add to my earlier post that I don't know if the chat log 'Melissa' sent me was real or fabricated. It could well have been fabricated! I apologise if I have made it look like I was confirming that xxxx [name removed, see TOS] did in fact try to hack our website, as this wasn't intended.

Sure, here we go (below). I have replaced the name with [+++++] as I noticed the forum moderator did this to one of my earlier posts. As I said, I don't know if it's forged or real. Melissa says it's real and claims she has loads of other evidence too (text messages, screen shots). Apparently it was a Skype transcript. She said "I have more evidence of the aforementioned, and the 'hackers' resume stating his IT skills. He is Pakistani." [4/05/2009 8:37:08 PM] [+++++] says: maybe we should search for a hacker! [4/05/2009 8:37:34 PM] Mel says: Haha! [4/05/2009 8:37:40 PM] Mel says: We could ask Krish? haha [4/05/2009 8:38:05 PM] Mel says: do you have a list of all our websites- and their passwords?

[4/05/2009 8:45:03 PM] Mel says: so you don't have any passwords for admin areas? [4/05/2009 8:45:26 PM] [+++++] says: no :( i want a hacker NOW [4/05/2009 8:47:48 PM] [+++++] says: ask him about figues - financials. I will forward the funds to you and you pay him [4/05/2009 8:49:30 PM] Mel says: ok great [4/05/2009 8:49:56 PM] Mel says: He normally asks for 50% payment upfront- then payment after we are happy. [4/05/2009 8:50:06 PM] Mel says: Or are we hiring the two IT staff fulltime? [4/05/2009 8:51:26 PM] [+++++] says: we will have them do the websites first and then we hire them. what do you think? [4/05/2009 8:55:48 PM] Mel says: yes that is a good idea. [4/05/2009 8:55:56 PM] Mel says: tell Krish this. [4/05/2009 9:00:52 PM] Mel says: Do you believe ukessays.com admin would be good? [4/05/2009 9:01:22 PM] Mel says: How would we find the links to their admins? [4/05/2009 9:01:25 PM] [+++++] says: yes - we could get uk essays customer lists!

Hi all,
It good to be back after a while.
Regarding the above post, it clearly mentions that these people are very dangerous. This is certain. What I do fail to understand is - how can anyone, just ANYONE Hack into someone's site or account. I do not understand programming and stuff very well, but I do know that this shouldn't and cannot be done.
This lady appears to be much more dangerous than I been told. Imagine hacking into sites for secret info!!

JenniferAA: Melissa says it's real and claims she has loads of other evidence too She lacks credibility. Blantant theft from how many established companies? Academic Answers, Masterpapers and many more :) Would not put lying and forging past her. If you read WB's screenshots, and access the OD desk, you will find that her programmer is an Indian named Krishore. Probably him.
Earlier posts show that another member here had accused her of giving someone access to the backends of the sites and `borrowing' the programme :)
Yes, she is credible :)

Hi WRT - Borrowed as in Plagiarized?
The above transcript reveals a very serious crime which she and her friend seem to be contemplating. This should be dealt with very very strongly!!
I mean come to think of it........ This forum shreds to pieces term paper mills which are not owned by English speaking owners or based in English speaking Countries. This is FAR MORE SERIOUS.
This is REAL CRIME.

dearbats: Borrowed as in Plagiarized? Look at the evidence WB posted. Every one of the sites are copied off established websites. In academicaeducation, she claims to be part of the Academic Answers group. She is either lying and plagiarising or Jennifer is concealing the fact that Madgwick has purchased Academic Answers and is now their boss :)
As WB says, all of this points to a disturbing pattern of dishonesty.
Question is: does she get away with stealing copyrighted webcopies? Does she get away with her disregard for the law?
Masterpapers may not do anything about the theft from their sites because they have too much to conceal and wouldn't want to draw attentin to themselves. What about Academic Answers and the others? Will they take it lying down? As their webcopies are still displayed on Madgwick's sites, it looks like they won't do anything about it either or cannot.
Strange, strange world we live in.
Kudos to WB for exposing this.

Seems she has restricted access to academiaeducation but concealing a crime means little. Essayscamalert.com can still be viewed here alpswebdemos.com/essayscamalert/index.php Priorityessays.com can still be viewed here thanksgoogle.com/priority
So, to date, it seems that she does not give a fig about essayscam or masterpapers and is determined to continue `borrowing' if not both caught and threatened. This thread and WB's screenshots will live on, however, and the Priority name is dead in the market. Any google search will bring up this thread.

Hi all,
Melissa here. All my websites have been in design mode. I never stole web content. I have no idea how these individuals are finding out about my new domains (although security experts now have some evidence with an issue with FTP users.. ;) As soon as I purchase a new one, and a new design is up, these individuals know about it. It is laughable. The hackers have been taking screen shots of my websites before the web copy is written. No websites are in working mode or have been launched lol. Pathetic. Give up. I will succeed and you are terribly afraid of it.
The reason why WRT is coming after me, is because I worked this person, never got paid properly, opened my own website, then this person found out about it because- they hacked my email accounts (the Australian Federal Police have been notified and are on alert) I have the proof. Did you want me to post it here? Anyways, she became jealous and has been threatening me ever since.
Looks like the man upstairs really does like me now ;)
Bye everyone. These people do not have a life. I know I do. I am young, and have a great future ahead of me!
Cheers!

Jennifer199: The hackers have been taking screen shots of my websites before the web copy is written. Watch out people! When you access a live website, that's hacking :) Jennifer199: The reason why WRT is coming after me, is because I worked this person, WTF!
Here's the story: The websites exposed here were, at the time of access, live and readily accessible. They contained `borrowed' content (word for word) from established companies. Instead of apologising for her actions, this person holds us, here, responsible. We hacked into her websites because we are `jealous,' `pathetic,' `do not have a life' and are `afraid' of her `success.' Very reasonable.
WB, I don't know much about this but is it standard practice to include other people's webcopy in your site's design? How about designing live? Is that standard? I assumed that websites which were under construction clearly stated UNDER CONSTRUCTION, COMING SOON, etc.

Jennifer199: All my websites have been in design mode What part of "Design Mode" means stealing content? I was unaware that we are now calling blatant plagiarism "design mode"? We already know that writing original content is something you are not really into and you have proven your own guilt by taking all of your sites down. The screen shots and information presented here are an open and shut case against you. Also, you have fraudulently created your Jennifer account to try a paint a pretty face on your Melissa scam. Why would you need to do that if you are such an ethical person running a legitimate writing service? I am not buying it, if you were legitimate about your writing services your sites would still be up and running and there would not be so much evidence against you.
In my opinion you are proof to all of us that a scam is a scam no matter what country the scam is from. If you can not create original content for your websites then I sure that any customers who make the mistake of using your hack service will get the same copy & pasted quality? Just because you are Australian does not make your fraud any more ethical than if you were in Pakistan, India or anywhere else in the world. You are a fraud and all of the "Hackers" as you call them will continue to draw attention to you and your actions. My advice to you is don't make yourself a target by running an unethical business that steals from others... CHEERS

Jennifer199: I have no idea how these individuals are finding out about my new domains Wow, we've got a regular genius over here!
Hey, Melissa, here's a newsflash: whatever you do online leaves a trail of crumbs, and I'm a vacuum. I can track your every move via simple, public, resoundingly legal tools that are available to everyone.
Everything that you've stated is "laughable." You're either painfully stupid or lying through your teeth. Bottom line—I have archived copies of ALL of your thefts (most of them are archives of Google's dated archives, which leaves you absolutely no legal wiggle room), and I obtained every one of them through Google searches and other public tools.
By the way, genius, you're already on public record for illegally paying a third party to "CLONE" (your words, not mine) masterpapers.com. You're not getting away with it, honey.
PS: It was probably a bad idea to insult me when you first signed-up. I haven't forgotten.

They're still in the design phase and how will we know whether or not we've got it right if we don't test a couple on Israel?"
Didn't Saddam `test' his `under design' chemical weapons on the Kurds?

Six months ago, Priorityessays published a promo commentary on the Collingwood Enterprise Bulletin.
Read the commentary (image) and WB's post, made over a year ago here: http://www.essayscam.org/Forum/9/masterpapers-llc-masterpapers-com-aca demia-research-com-fake-address-627/]MasterPapers LLC (MasterPapers.com & Academia-Research.com) - Fake Address
The commentary is "borrowed" from WB's post. Is the commentary also in "design mode"? Or does it prove a pattern of unapologetic "borrowing"?
