i know this will probably lead to spamming but i still havent been able to find any legit essay writing sites. When i think i found a site that is legit i manage to pull up some dirt on them through a forum or newsgroup. is there anything anyone can recommend? you dont have to mention the url just the name or something, i am sick and tired of the 99% scam sites.

It depends on what you mean by "legit"...
I think a good and fast customer service is very important. Customer service will usually tell you a lot about the company because you can determine:
1. Promptness in Reply to Your Questions
For me waiting more than 24 hours is not acceptable. Assuming the company has many clients, it still takes a couple of minutes to write and send a reply so if the company is serious and "legit," they should reply quick. Some companies will even answer you on Saturday evening while others don't work at weekends.
2. The Quality of the Answer(s)
Before ordering anything from an essay writing company I send an email to their support with a question that requires at least a few sentences to answer. For example, "How long have you been in the writing business and how can I be assured you will not plagiarize or resell my paper?". Or "To which libraries do you have access to? Would you be able to fax or ship me the sources used in the paper?" The quality of the answer will usually tell me if the customer person is a native English speaker and if they know what they are talking about (sometimes it seems the customer service have no idea what they're doing or how to answer even the simplest questions...). A company that cannot afford a native English speaker customer person is not very likely to hire English native writers either.
Here are some other tips:
- Ask what methods of payment they accept; if they only accept 2checkout or similar, it's not usually a good sign. I tend to think more legit companies accept most or all of these: credit cards, paypal/e-gold, bank transfer, money order, western union. If you choose to pay by bank transfer you will know the location of the bank too.
- Look at their website - does it look professional; is the web copy written well, does it answer at least some of most common questions?
- Is it possible to contact them not only by email, but also by phone, fax, snail mail?
- Can you contact the writer directly? (some affiliate companies may have no idea who will be writing your paper unless you have placed an order; even though it does not disqualify them, it's always better to know you or at least the company can contact the writer should there be any problems with your paper)
- When ordering a big paper (let's say 50 pages or more), ask them to provide some background of the writer who will be writing your paper and the writer's overview on your topic. This might help you determine if the writer is at least familiar with the subject
As far as "dirt on some sites through a forum or newsgroup" is concerned, the information you may find on forums or newsgroups is quite often misleading. I think some competing companies may actually pretend to be an "unsatisfied client" in order to defame another company.
As I wrote above, you need to do your own research before you select a "legit" writing company. Good luck!

brat03 your guidelines are a good reference, however i still have found many scam sites that have these qualities. A well made site can easily trick someone into thinking its legit, but i have done whois and called numbers based in us, and they are disconnect, and the registrars are from ppl in foreign countries. Thats why im asking for sites that people have actually used and know arent shady, becuase word of mouth is better than what any search can give you

I don't think advertising sites here on the forum is permitted...
You write: "A well made site can easily trick someone into thinking its legit" but what I suggest is to actually contact the site's support in advance and ask a specific question/s. You are right - the look of the site doesn't tell everything, but contacting people who actually work for the site will tell you a lot....

WOW! Thanks for the tips! I like especially this one:
If you choose to pay by bank transfer you will know the location of the bank too.
I don't think a foreign company can open an account in US bank ;).

Very good! (post #2)
I would add one more point (worked for me every time like a charm):
- Email the writing site's support and tell them you need a 30-page research paper or dissertation within 24 hours. If they accept this offer, run away! :).
Usually only one writer is working on your paper - no matter how long it can be - so if the company claims that their writer could do 30 pages within 24 hours it must be a scam. [I don't think it's even possible to do research and custom-write more than 10 pages a day].

I've spent the good part of an hour reviewing postings about bad essay writing services. What are a few of the best online custom essay writing services?

Well, according to my friend, he was able to find an essay writing service that provides tremendous guarantees including Total + 50% refund pay if the order is either late or plagiarized. He said that they will first assess the details of your order within an hour or two then reply back if they can do the paper or not.
If they accepts the paper, the process immediately begins according to the deadline imposed. Otherwise, the money paid is immediately refunded by an automated escrow payment system (somehow similar to essaybay) within less than 12 hours.
Since promotion is restricted here in this website, I'd rather not mention the name of this website. If you want to know more about the details, please email me at ***@yahoo.com

Posting an email address so that people can still receive your promotion indirectly is the same as posting the information directly. Advertising is advertising, and it's not allowed here. If people are so desperate for such information, let someone else invest the time and money to open "freelance-essay-writing-recommendations.com."

You're a CHILD.
You accuse me of owning the site just because I tell people to abide by the RULES that the owners have set forth? Grow up.

cmon WB, you can be terribly annoying. if this forum is just going to talk about frauds, how will we know what is legit. noone has all the time in this damn world to work out legit sites through trial and error. at least we can talk about sites with least of complaints.

You don't need proofs for something that's so obvious.
Come to think about it, Ur the only one acting like that.
Others are mere spectators voicing out their opinions. Know what, this site could have been better without you around.
How did I know? Try conducting a survey asking on how many people have you already pissed.
If its anything intentional, well good luck. >; )

CLEARLY: this website is not meant to help writers and students discuss who're frauds and who're not.
Totally Bi-ass-ed!
With WB around acting like that, this entire site serves the purpose of destroying sites' reputations.

Make your own site or ask someone else to do so. This is a focused site that does not provide what you desire.

They do not even require you to make a full payment in advance.
Good luck with your studies...

Maria18, you're not fooling anyone. Tell me--how did you come to know this email address when it is not available in Google's, Yahoo's, or MSN's search results?
Take your SPAM elsewhere. The moderator will likely ban you soon.

KNOW WHAT WB,
guys like Joneszr Need help here at this site by the simple knowing of which is which. Now if you can't understand this simple BASIC humanitarian code, then you are the moron.
Also, please stop calling everyone MORON, IDIOT, STUPID and all those harsh words.
If the moderator can see how offensive you are becoming, then they should ban someone like you.
BUT, if they think you are an asset for them to get more clicks and rates, well that's some biased perspective
WB - I did respect you before but you ruined it and everyone else's because of your attitude problem

Hey ppl....
I just suggested a URl i have dealt with. We all have good and bad experiences. You might have a bad experience with them, but i dint...
I was just suggesting that these guys do not even charge any payment upfront. They take your topic and write a couple of pages on it. They will continue to work on your paper only if you liked the pages sent by them. I made them half the payment after getting half my paper completed and the rest after getting the fully completed paper at my laptop...
May be they are pretty new to take risks... Lolz...
Cheers...

Hey Maria,
I have given my paper to that John guy. You are right they do not really ask for an advance payment, but will I get my paper in time? Though I have a deadline by end of this month, I have given them a week's deadline. Lets see...
Anyway thanks for your help broad...
