This is my experience of liveperson.com.
I contacted "Elizabeth Scott" about getting an essay written for me. She said it was more her husband's area so passed it on to him. She said his name is "Donald Turner" and he is on Liverperson too as D_Turner.
Anyway I paid $200 and received my essay. I read through the essay and it sounded great so I paid and left positive feedback. A couple of hours later I started to wonder if the essay wasn't a bit too good .... and sure enough it was as it had been extensively plagiarized (as in entire paragraphs) from published academic articles available on the web.
I can't get my money back from Liveperson.com so I'm just posting this as a warning to others. Donald Turner's credentials – shown below – look great but he obviously has no scruples about selling someone elses academic endeavors as his own work. I've sent a complaint to what he says is his university too and suggested that they take a closer look at his submitted work - who knows whether anything he has posted on his profile is true though.

As an update: I've been told that I can dispute the transaction with liveperson.com even though I've paid.
So I have now asked them to amend the "expert's" rating as I now know the essay was plagiarized and I've also asked liveperson.com to make a refund.
I'll post how it goes.

As an update, the rating was changed within 24 hours to show the lowest rating possible - the comment was also changed to say that the essay had been extensively plagiarized. I got an e-mail yesterday from Liverperson.com to say that I had been refunded in full to my paypal account and I got notification of a credit to my account from paypal.
I am really pleased with the way Liveperson.com has dealt with this. I panicked when I'd paid, and then realized that I'd been scammed, that I wouldn't be able to get a refund but it has all been sorted out without any hassle.

How come this person has no rating now (NEW)? Some of your statements are inconsistent.

It helps if you read from the start Major.
The rating has been applied to "Elizabeth Scott" as she is the person that I paid and who supplied the essay - I talked to her quite a bit through e-mail and went through the requirements of the essay. She told me it was no problem and would be delivered on time etc but. She also said that she'd pass it to her husband "Donald Turner" (D_Turner) to actually write as it was more his area of expertise as he is getting his masters in international relations.
If you look on Elizabeth Scott's ratings - mine is the one that states "The essay has been extensively plagiarized".
The plagiarism was so bad that only 3 words of the 2,500 word paper had not been directly lifted from an article that has been published online. Essentially, a couple of headings were amended and that was it!
The two person involvement is why I have headed this thread with both names and why I complained to liveperson.com about both parties. I don't think that either party is trustworthy and I think that prospective customers should be aware of this.
