hi sunburst_cookies and kkk! I am losing my patience. Writers.ph did not pay me on time as they have promised to do so. It is true that they changed their payment terms a day before the pay-out. first they raised the level to $50, then a day before the pay-out they raised it to $400. if they do not pay me during this pay period, i will publish everything I have written for them, report them to local authorities, expose them to all scam forums like this, report them to newspapers, and expose them to TV segments like Imbestigador and XXX. I also have proof that writers.ph accept projects not just from Essaywriters.net but to other companies also. I will expose this if they did not pay me. I will post some snapshots here.

When are you people going to get it through your apparently 2-foot-thick skulls that EssayWriters.net is a Ukrainian SCAM? EssayWriters.net operates Writers.ph! I already PROVED that in a previous post!
You know, it's really hard to feel sorry for people who CHOOSE to ignore 50,000 warnings and THEN complain about being "ripped off." Well, NO ****, Sherlock!

I think people are just too stubborn. I just encountered this site when I was first not paid by them. I think it is not just to warn these writers. We need to move to give these companies their biggest break by exposing them to the media and local authorities. I will do my part on this. If they do not pay me, watch out, I will do my very best to give them what they deemed to receive!

Dear Writers,
We have to inform you that due to the fact that we started cooperating with another bank, payments processed via Wire Transfer for Philippines will temporarily be sent only if the amount exceeds $400.
We hope for your patience and understanding.
Thank you for cooperation.
Warm regards,
Writers.ph Team

I told the crooks that if they want us to continue working for them they should pay up first!
Look at their attempt at diplomacy --
Thank you for telling us your concern. The accounting dept will be more than willing to accept your suggestion. Your concern will be treated with the highest of priorities
Best regards,
Curtis Jackson
Anyone got generic statements like this too?

- yes i asked them regarding that already. first they said that they were verifying the account that i gave them. then, up until now, they're still verifying. i message them everyday, thrice a day, and guess what? they fined me 8 dollars for "spamming" the system. wow!

kian91919, your "paid" Writers.ph earnings report sounds incredible.
Quoting: kian91919 Actual Payments by paid date Paid Invoice November 16 2007 678.2 December 3 2007 821.1 December 21 2007 544 January 3 2008 1162
For about $2 per page, you were able to earn $678.2/$821.1/$544/$1162 in a period of 2 weeks each? You work incredibly fast! And for that speed, you have had no problems with plagiarism or negative feedback? Are you real?

correction please it's pepi not pipi. i experienced minor delays before. i have not read the new payment scheme until now. i called writers.ph as to why they are doing this? especially with a part-time writers like me. i only have $26.60 for my next salary payment. i asked them whay would they deduct $15 from my hard earned money??? now, i would only get $11.60? the operator said she will call me back and that she will forward my concern to their main company. in the meantime, i sent them a message online regarding my complaints.
she called me back after half and hour. she explained to me that the $400 was now reduced to $50 which means i would not be able to get my $26.60 not until i reach the full amount of $50 for the payment to be processed. out of that $50 i would only get $35. the problem is that even before this new payment scheme i get a total deduction of $6.30 every salary payment. so now, i'm looking at $21.30 worth of deductions.
i haven't been writing lately. it seems that i don't have any other means to find a writing job that's why i can't quit. i've sent my resume to topnotchwriters.com and i got accepted the problem is until now they are not forwarding any orders.

@writerPHscam---- no, i am not one of them. i just have a diffrent way of handling things. i deal with them professionally by writing formal complaints. i would call their office and speak to them regarding my concerns. i got paid three times with deductions here and there. they pay me maybe because it's only at a minimum? i don't know. i gave them the correct details regarding my bank account and so far i get paid through that with a 3-5 days delay.

Does anybody know the following details for Bank of the Philippine Islands?
The ABA number of your bank's CORRESPONDING BANK in the USA:
Intermediary bank identifier:
Intermediary bank name:
Intermediary bank address:
I cannot obtain my payment without obtaining these details. My bank is BPI.

I have worked for EW for more than a year(off and on) and had my fair share of ultra delayed payments; allegations for plagiarized work (resolved after a lengthy written discussion point by point); supposedly cancelled orders with different reasons; manipulated orders, etc..you name, it I have it!
After I encountered problems with Academia in the past, I vowed that I should hunt this big time essay fraudsters. Although I worked less, I made it a point to gather as much evidence I can get from them upon the advice of a moderator from another site.
If anyone is interested, do let me know.
Another important matter is the bank charge issue. EW has apparently set up a satellite office in Luzon, Philippines. This coincided with the information given to me by my bank that remittances to my account no longer came from another nook on earth but right here in my own country.
If this is the case..then they ripped Filipino writers with the $15 bank transfer charges! It only takes 100 peso max -- nothing (BDO and Unionbank) to send money inter-branch!
The Filipino counterpart therefore has a lot to answer!
I am also sending the rest of the hard copies as proof to EW's domain server. I have filed a written complaint and an aunt based in Arizona will handcarry the facts to a family member who is interested; whom I have also given my Special Power of Attorney.
EW is holding around $157 from my salary, although charges were purportedly and illegally added up. This is a measly sum in exchange for all the trouble but the question is no longer money--it is the principle behind every scam committed to writers!

@momosigh---- it's pepi not pipi. i haven't gone to their office in makati yet. i got paid three times. i still have $32.00 unpaid salary. i don't think they will pay me soon since they have a new policy that is, you have to write at least a total of $50. i got tired, i'm not writing anymore since i'll just be writing for the $15 deduction every pay check. before i used to write one article a day for a $5 or $7 paper. it's just too much now. i don't know if you can call that scamming since they paid me before but with this exorbitant deduction, it just makes me stop and think.
you can call writers.ph at 856-1781. the company's address is 2nd flr. executive bldg., makati ave., makati city.
good luck!

Hi
Has anybody tried going to their main site yet? I don't know with the others but since last October until now, I am still writing for them. I do get delayed pay checks but they do come.
Are there others who still write for writers.ph?
Thanks

Hi
Do not plagiarize and make sure you follow the instructions of the client
biodata: never mind the delays and deductions, i can do way with it
With the delays, I'm not sure but I know they are doing their best to prevent it. On the other hand, the deductions are inevitable especially if you are doing all sorts of plagiarism.
That's all I guess

I've been reading the forum posts and I've become disheartened about applying at writers.ph. How delayed are the payments exactly? How do they prove the plagiarism? Or do they just make that up to dock part of your pay?
Btw, am a full-time working mom writing part-time for business outsource companies. I'm hoping this forum will prove a big help.

I have a friend who is also a freelance writer and she is currently writing for writers.ph. She told me that the current rate being placed by their company is only $2.1 to $2.8 when the advertised pay rate is more than $7 per page.
Don't you think these rates are way too abusive?
