Hello,
I am happy I found this site. I am in my senior year in school, have kids, and a full time job which means I simply do not have the time to write all these papers. I am thankful there are services out there to do it! However, they can get somewhat pricey but justifiable if their services are reliable and they deliver on time.
A couple years ago was the first time I used a essay writing service. I was in a pinch and didn't know if these services even existed. After some researching, I found masterpapers.com and paid them something around $147 for a research paper. The writer did a GREAT job on majority of the paper. I can't remember how many pages it was now but I know it was 10+. My school uses turnitin.com, so when I ran the paper through there so I could turn it in, it found that 1 page of the paper was word for word from an email. Not sure how they have access to emails? Anyways, I searched google with a few sentences from that section and found it on there also. So I called the customer support number, they said they would review it. I emailed proof from the turnitin.com site. They refunded me the entire $147 which was great, I was not expecting that.
I haven't used writing services for awhile until here recently. I noticed that masterpapers.com had raised their rates quite a bit so I shopped around. Problem is, you never know who you can trust. It's not like I'm going to amazon.com to buy something. So I came across customessaymeister.com. They're site looked professional (I know this doesn't mean a whole lot) and the online customer service was instantly available to answer questions. I explained to them my ordeal with turnitin.com and they said if they wrote a paper for me and I had that same problem that I could provide the report from turnitin.com and if they would refund me money after reviewing it.
I felt confidant enough with that so I had them write my first paper. It was only 2 pages because I wanted to see if I would get it back and gave them 7 days to complete it. A writer immediately picked up my order and I was pretty stoked about that. On the 7th day when my paper was due, the writer dropped my paper. I was very upset and demanded a refund. They gave me some run around about the refund saying that if I ordered a 5 day paper and they completed it in 7 then they would give me the 7 day rate. That is not what I ordered though, I have deadlines to meet so that policy is crap. I also saw on their site that if after 3 revisions I think it said, that they would refund the paper also. That still doesn't work well with deadlines. Makes no sense to me.
Anyways, the customer service rep asked if I could extend the deadline which I agreed to knowing that I would take a 10% point reduction at school in hopes that I could get the paper done. Thankfully another writer picked it up and completed it 12 hours before it was due. He/she did a great job on the paper and I was very relieved. It wasn't the best first experience but I thought I would give them a second chance and just put in another order for a 4 page paper. We'll see how it turns out.
Here's my dilemma. I need a legitimate service that is reliable and capable of meeting deadlines. I am a legitimate student needing help. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
deTox

I am very reluctant to pay for any individual. I prefer to use a company.
Just an update, the 2nd paper (4 page Research Paper) that I mentioned above is still being worked on (I hope) by the writer that picked it up at customessaymiester.com. It's due Sunday. I will let you all know how it goes.
I also just submitted a 3rd paper (3 page Research Paper) to customessaymiester.com. It is due Sunday also so I paid a pretty hefty price (in my opinion) for 3 day service - $65.85. It was picked up by a writer literally 5 minutes after I ordered it and it's a pretty specific topic I think. I will let you know how this one turns out too.
I think the only way we, the students, can find out who the reliable services are is to post actual experiences and that is what I intend to do.

Maybe the forum owner would like to set up another forum JUST for recommendations! Then not bother to monitor it because THAT would be a waste of time as ALL the scam companies would be blogging 24/7. Mind you it might keep them away from here for a while!

Are you people kidding me?! Wow.. What the hell is the point of essayscam.org? To fight with new members, challenge people on their English usage, and argue on that the US is better than everyone and vice versa?
Jesus.. calm down.. To me, essayscam.org means it's a place to go to find out who is scamming you? I'm not advertising for anyone.. I'm just trying to help students like myself because we put up the money for these services and are the majority reason why this industry even exists. We need to know who to go to that wont rip us off.
Unbelievable.

deTox: What the hell is the point of essayscam.org?
The purpose is clearly stated in multiple locations. Try reading.
deTox: To fight with new members
Don't blame me because YOU like to break rules.
Jesus has nothing to do with your rule-breaking.
deTox: To me, essayscam.org means it's a place to go to find out who is scamming you
Right--but it is NOT a place to post POSITIVE reviews and experiences. Period.
deTox: We need to know who to go to that wont rip us off.
Apparently, you don't understand the simple reasoning. If you want to publicize what sites are, in your opinion, "good," do so elsewhere. This is NOT the proper venue. Read the FORUM RULES:
"6. The EssayScam Forum is not a place for advertisements or publicity in any way. EssayScam and its moderators have the sole discretion to determine what constitutes an advertisement.
7. Posts that will provide no content other than advertisements will be deleted."
deTox: We need to know who to go to that wont rip us off.
That's not our problem. If you want to participate in this forum, abide by the rules.
Indeed.

Right. However, it does NOT state, "Have you been scammed or tricked by an essay writing website or a freelance writer? Share your comments! Then, publicize your positive experience with the next site that you used."

Moderator: I have a suggestion. How about instituting, let's say, a 50- or 100-post minimum before a new member can send PMs? People are obviously signing up just to whore their paid services via PM.

Actually, Mummy isn't in the biz...he's a client of mine and I assume he's just relaying his experiences with me because we're involved in a long ongoing project...one of the people he addressed did contact me but I had to refer him to ** because the topic was outside of my comfort zone and I know there's an ** writer who seems to get a lot of requests for related topics. That paper is currently being written by the ** writer I suggested.

Awesome, way to use the board to push ** as the company of choice! I'm so tired of your posts FreelanceWriter. You use this forum to push ** as legit every chance you get, having a clear financial incentive to do so since you work for them. And now you're admitting to recommending the company to folks who contact you through this forum. Nice.
Since Mummy came to this forum looking for a writer and now is engaged in an "long ongoing project" with you, it's pretty clear that you're using this forum to get work. WB pointed out how your posts clearly leave "breadcrumbs" that are against the rules of this forum and you said you'd stop, but you're just back to your old M.O.
This forum isn't a place for you to get work. Jeez.

I've stopped leaving breadcrumbs...those were some very old crumbs responsible for leading him to me originally. WB clearly was under the impression that Mummy is in the business so I just wanted to correct that for both of their sakes. I really have no financial incentive to push any site, but that's exactly what happened with that essay.

WB, I have quite a nice life as well, one that you know nothing about. I have spent over 19 years in service to this country, been separated from my family 6 times longer than 4 months, have conducted more webcam conversations with my lovely wife and 3 children than I care to think about. I've seen the very best in people and witnessed horrors that you have only read in books...and would not categorize one day of my life as pathetic. I do not write for a living nor am I trying to scrape any dollars together doing so. Believe me, I understand rules & regulations...probably better than anybody. But I've also read enough posts on this website, to include yours, which offer recommendations. You may not say it directly, but I don't think anybody who's familiar with this site has any doubt which writing service(s) you prefer. Maybe this isn't the right forum for recommendations and I understand the reason behind that...but I was being honest with people who seemed to need assistance. They can take it (or not) for what it's worth. I am man enough to admit I crossed the line, but I did so with the best of intentions and for no personal game.

I am a writer with good understanding of the rules. I mentioned about my own blog because I thought it might help those who are looking for a LEGIT company. But I was really hurt by the reamarks of WB. It is not fair for you to be so rude on this forum. I have seen that WB also recommends a company. If WB herself is not free from recommending sites then why the writers on this forum are stopped from doing this?

Your blog is complete garbage. The fact that you think otherwise is scary.

I've taken the risk on a rush with "Essay Guru". I was led along being told "almost finished," up until the last hour when the rush project was due. I paid half in advance and received nothing but lies and deceit.
They had the nerve to send me an e:mail a few days later saying "sorry," we will gladly refund your money and write you a free paper today, that was days ago too...yeah right.
Steer clear of Essay Guru.

Are you kidding? You know better than that. This forum is not here to connect customers with writers. There are 10,000,000 other sites for that! This forum is here to give ALREADY DEFRAUDED customers a voice. This is not—in any way—a commercial site.

Tarajess- yes it is apparently funny isn't it? Message me and I will tell you a list of high ethical companies who exist to help students. There are a few on the net these days unfortunately! I have used all of these companies services, even essaytown- who owns this blog! and all services were terrible! Most papers were late, the writer didn't follow instructions.. amongst a whole list of other negative things.
Haha admin is after me, because I have multiple logins because I get kicked out for telling the truth? Where is the right to freedom of speech WritersBeware/Lavinia- the same person that owns Essaytown.com. She is a Russian native and yet she preaches that all companies hide behind a fake name and should come clean. WHY DON'T YOU PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH?
If I get kicked out again for telling the truth.. I will take this further.

Jennifer, your lies prove you to be a contemptuous fraud. If anyone believes your lies, all the more pity for them.
Your account will no doubt eventually be banned, like the long list of frauds who attempt to spread lies and misinform consumers. Bye.
