I placed an order w/ essaydom for an urgent paper; that of which cost me a solid 300$. In "chat" with this lovely individual, after going through the entire process, this is what happened:
********: what do i need to do now?
John Anderson: Sit back and relax
*******: Okay, I cannot. Still so much other work for me to do in other classes.
*******: I need to know more about this gaurantee
*******: also
*******: contact information for who I can call if there is a problem
*******: also what is your name
*******: Oh, and just out of curiosity. Who is my writer, where are they from?
John Anderson: New york
Chat session has ended. (AKA the ***** just ran away and signed off!)
P.S- Can you say Naive :( Oh- and I love how after I saw all of this and found this website, I call them to cancel my order (I've sense placed my order with essaytown) and the call wont even go through; yet initially this "John" fellow answered right away. I am expecting to have some fun w/ them tomorrow, as well as my debit card company. Sigh. Kill me!

You should have googled some before placing an order with them or any other company. This is mandatory today!

So true to the both of you! Their websit looked legit though, and I am on an extreme deadline. Usually I research the living hell out of a company/product before ordering. Also, I didn't hear ANY accent; and to give "John" some credit, he "seemed" quite nice and as though he actually cared about my situation. Yeah right!

Please, Urgent*** is there anyway I can see if my paper is plagarized, aside from turnitin.com???? This paperdom paper is I'm quite sure 80% - 90% plagarized, and I need to expose this in order to get my refund. Also, it is not in proper english. They also included charts (Did I mention or ask to include charts!? NO!) and they have therefor turned something that should be 7 pages into 18 (SERIOUSLY!!) pages of plagarism. My professor wouldn't accept this EVER. Also, I can see already that these people are trying to f*** me out of my money. Great!

You call them and say...."I want to start a chargeback." Then you explain the situation. To prove plagiarism, just try googling a few chunks of text--three examples is plenty, I would think, for your CC company to become involved.
After this issue is resolved, enroll in a basic consumer/financial awareness course.

Great. My bank isn't even open today. I think I might just have to take a loss on this one. I cannot deal with this kind of stress right now; there is just too much going on. 300$ is alot; but keep in mind, this is cash I have on my school debit card.
Calling my bank also means possibly having to explain the situation; granted HigherOne is a big company and I doubt they care; but, there is still the possibility. I'll call monday perhaps and have them look at it; if they delve into details, I'll take one for the team. It simply means that what should of been a 300$ essay has now turned into a 600$ essay, when including the fees from essaytown.
Money is nice, but getting expelled from my school isn't an option. I was stupid, I realize, but I didn't anticipate going through this. My everyday debit card was a hundred dollars short of covering the fee; and at 1am, I didn't find the idea of driving to the bank to transfer cash into the account all that attractive. I guess if you want to play the game, you have to pay the price.
Thank-you for your help everyone.

Then call them on Monday (though there's almost always a 24/7 fraud/lost card department that might be able to help you). It's not like they get to keep your money just because you can't start the chargeback instantly--you usually have 30 days, sometimes two weeks.persist: I cannot deal with this kind of stress right now; there is just too much going on. 300$ is alot; but keep in mind, this is cash I have on my school debit card.
So, because you're feeling too stressed out you're willing to let someone steal $300 from you, when you could stop them from stealing it with a 5-10 min. phone call?
In all seriousness, you are the reason society is so dismal these days. It takes the smallest amount of effort to hold someone accountable for their actions and practices, but because people like you are unwilling to put in this effort people/companies can pretty much get away with whatever they want.
By taking 10 minutes out of your day on Monday, you can a) earn $300; b) stop a scam company from earning profit on their scam actions, making this less profitable for them; c) give the company another chargeback on their record, which could eventually lead to the cancellation of CC contracts (i.e. they won't be able to accept payments via major credit cards); and d) demonstrate that you have a spine.
persist: Calling my bank also means possibly having to explain the situation; granted HigherOne is a big company and I doubt they care; but, there is still the possibility.
You paid for research materials, which is not illegal. What you got was (according to you) largely off-topic, full of plagiarized articles that you probably could have found, most likely without any additional analysis or even a real cohesion in how the articles were spliced together (I've seen this kind of work before), and with the English so horribly disfigured it's next to impossible to figure out what the author is saying half the time. This is not at all the research material you purchased, so the company shouldn't get any money for it.
persist: I'll take one for the team
Taking one for the team would be starting a chargeback.
persist: what should of been
"should have been," not "should of been." You're in college now, for Christ's sake.
persist: what should of been a 300$ essay has now turned into a 600$ essay
No, it probably should have been a $600 model essay all along, you just got suckered in by a cheap rip-off company. Quality costs.

Thank-you Pheelyks; I needed that. You are entirely right in everything you said; but as you likely know, it is the end of the semester; and simply put, I am swamped. Is it really that crazy that I wanted to take the easy way out?
Also, I've never heard of it only taking 15 minutes for a chargeback. I wouldn't even mind 1 hour! I recently spent 6+ hours on the phone dealing with a company and the bank due to an overdraft mistakenly placed on my younger sisters card. I can't imagine how long it will take when I don't have the companys cooperation; but none the less, I do need to try.
Finally, I do GREATLY appreciate your advice, but I don't understand what my embarrassing grammar mistake has to do with anything. Yes, I'm awful with grammar. Spelling isn't always my forte either; but that's my problem, and something that will likely never come naturally. Alas, I'd prefer to write for content over perfect grammar or spelling any day. I do admit though, it was a stupid mistake; I can say thank-you for that, but I don't know why the snark remark was needed.
Anyway, I have to get back to work. I will most certainly call on Monday; and again Pheelyks, thanks for giving me some back bone/clarity.

P.S- I completely agree with you. I would of gladly payed 500-600$ for a single QUALITY paper.
I think essaytown largely undercharges for the services they offer.

It can take a month or more for the chargeback to actually be processed, but it doesn't take a whole lot of time on your end. You explain the situation, explain that you've tried resolving this with the company, and leave the rest up to the bank/credit card co.
persist: what my embarrassing grammar mistake has to do with anything.
This isn't a grammar mistake. You have simply fallen into the habit, as have many others, of not really thinking about the words you type. Many English speakers pronounce the word "have" as "of" in sentences like, " I would have....," and this auditory conflation has now become a common mistake in typing. If you read the sentence and paid attention to each word, you would very easily see that "of" makes no sense, and that the word you meant was "have." If it was a matter of simple ignorance, it wouldn't irk me so much, but I'm positive that people know the difference, they just don't pay enough attention to how they express themselves. It's intellectual laziness, and it is contributing to our many problems as a species and a culture.

Post the first few sentences (or the first paragraph) and I will provide all the answers you need.

I just wanted to come back and say that everything worked itself out in the end. Yes, I still need to contact and sort things out with my card company on monday, but FreelanceWriter of essaytown thankfully saved the day with an amazing paper.
Dealing with him was also a pleasure; he answered my messages promptly, and after the paper was delivered he continued to kindly deal with my likely annoying requests and numerous questions.
As to the quality of the product, I actually took quite a bit of time delving into the paper and changing some wording around as I'm positive my professor would be hesitent to believe a paper of this caliber was created by someone of my education level. It was that good and without a doubt scholarly level.
(If I am violating terms and conditions please feel free to edit my post, I am just so thankful that after this nightmare of an experience with PaperDom, something good came out of it.)
As to Pheelyks, yes I realize what I did was stupid; actually when you first informed me I found myself sounding the two out and realized just what I had done and additionally, just how common of a mistake it is. I do consider it a grammatical mistake none the less, but I agree it is largely due to laziness and misinformation. Honestly though, I was sitting here writing on the side just typing my response as fast as I could. If it's any consolation to you, you have most certainly permanently imprinted "have over of" into my mind.
WritersBeware, I cannot copy/paste the first paragraph here as it could be a potential security risk on my end. I did go ahead and copy/paste the first few sentences into Google though and found a word for word hit. Keep in mind there was absolutely no sourcing in those sentences either. Nice huh?
