Hey guys.
Can you guys offer your opinions on phd-dissertations. I ordered a custom paper from them and before I submit the paper I would like to know anyone experiences good or bad. I cannot find any plagiarism in the piece but that does not necessarily mean anything.
Can anyone recommend a free plagiarism checker?
Btw if you have time you can read my experience so far and how I ended up with them which I will post in a few minutes.
Thanks

As promised.
After I stumbled across this site I spent about two days googling on what website to go with, that was both plagiarism free, original custom written specifically for me that would not ever be sold to anyone and one that wasn't a scam.
Tbh it was looking like nearly all were scams but I settled on custompapers as from reading this forum it seemed like most of the posts about it were genuine and I read that a few people were happy with their work. I went to the website only to discover that they are not taking new papers on until May 11.
I went into panic mode as I didn't have the time or enough knowledge to finish the paper without help. So I settled on three possibles essayacademia, who offer a free draft before committing to buy. But tbh the price seemed very high and the free draft didn't seem like it was original or connected to my paper at all, and when I asked for a rewrite of the free draft I heard nothing back. I must admit that I googled the draft and nothing turned up to be plagiarized but I cannot say for certain.
I think the other was called collegework or universitywork but I got a bad vibe from this forum as I think it was meant to be based in London but was actually based in Pakistan, according to a few posts on here. Other than that in desperation I nearly would have went with them.
I reluctantly settled on phd-dissertations. They say they guarantee original work that will never be sold. I'll be honest I would consider myself to be very internet savvy but when I was entering my credit card details, to pay in advance, I felt like one of those people you read about who send 5000 dollars to the nephew of a recently deceased Nigerian king killed in an army coup in order to inherit 400 million.
I didn't like the fact I had to pay in advance at all as I didn't know who was writing it or what I was getting in return, or if I would be scammed The price seemed to compare with other websites, i.e, very expensive 32 dollars per page if required within 1-3 days. Its nearly half that if you have more than 30days.
Also they couldn't confirm my billing address so they wanted a scanned copy of my drivers licence, credit card front and back with which I paid and a letter confirming the bank had permission to debit the money from my account. Now my scam radar went off like crazy but through desperation I sat for two hours thinking if I should send them.
So I emailed the copy of my drivers licence and credit card (which is maxed out so there is just enough to cover the price of the paper and a hamburger) but I put a piece of paper on the back hiding the 3 digit code and I put quite a few stipulations in the letter which I hope would cover my ass if they scammed me and they presented the letter to my bank to release payment, so I would have some sort of comeback if I was scammed.
I got a few emails from them which put my mind at ease, I won't say what exactly in case any other scam sites adopt the tactic. I googled the parent company name and discovered some information which put my mind further at ease but I also discovered they run a website where you can buy pre written essays from an archive of thousands for about an eight of what I paid for my custom paper which now has me a little worried. I am thinking is my paper completely original and will it be sold or appear on that website in the future?
The completed paper seems legit but I am looking for opinions from other people before I submit it. Regardless I will come back to inform of my final result.
Can anyone recommend a free online plagiarism checker?

Pocket radio - I don't know much about the company you used but it still seems suspiciously cheap really.
The best way to know a good and legitimate site is to look at the pricing: the highest charging sites are almost always legit. They use qualified and experienced writers - and THAT COSTS!
In general, if you pay peanuts then you get monkeys... Pay cheap, get cheap (or get scammed) really.
Anyway, the first mistake you make is believing what is posted here and on other forums: a lot of this is from writers who have been sacked accusing their former employers of being scams (when the writers were bad writers), or essay site owners disparaging their competition whilst praising their own companies under a false poster name!
NEVER believe anything you read on the internet! Don't they teach you that at college? If not, they should...
Free plagiarism scanner? Why do you expect quality for free? There is NO GOOD plagiarism scanner - because all the free ones insist that if you use them then they will own the copyright of your essay so you might well see it on sale within hours of your scanning it. (eg Viper fromAA).
My advice: Pay a SMALL amount to use the public version of Turnitin: WriteCheck. Just Google it.

I can't see why they'd need a scan of the back of your card though so I think you were wise to cover up the three digit security code.
To check your essay for plagiarism, try putting the title into Google. Try Googling lines and paragraphs of the essay too. Or, look on the parent website's essay bank and search for your topic to make sure it's not in the essay bank.

StudentAdvice: see it on sale within hours of your scanning it. (eg Viper fromAA).
I'm fairly certain this is getting libellous now, I'll have to talk to Jen about this. Let me reiterate, we never resell essays that are scanned through Viper. We used to own an essay bank, which allowed STUDENTS to resell their OWN papers to other students (and we took a small cut.) We never sell the work from Viper to our customers - why would we - they'd see a 100% match if they scanned it through Viper. We'd put ourself out of business! Haha.
Pocket Radio, I'd honestly recommend you just Google sections of your essay - it's a quick and easy method. It's not as thorough as having a piece of software check every line for you, but you should be able to find something if it's plagiarised.
Best thing to do, is not hand it in to be honest!

Thanks for replying, guys.
Carly: I can't see why they'd need a scan of the back of your card though so I think you were wise to cover up the three digit security code.
It may have been for verifying my signature. I am sure I had to send footlocker a scan of the back of my card too, for verification purposes many years ago.
I didn't mind sending the front of the card so much, as they already had my card number and expiration details anyway. The scan of my drivers licence I purposely made of a low quality, just in case.
It was more an act of desperation than laziness tbh. I found it impossible to write on the subject matter. I intend to use it to help me use it as a template before I submit the paper but obviously there will be a good chunk of the work from phd-dissertation so I will need to check it online. I don't mind the cost of the paper provided it is completely original and not plagiarised. I will google the document but I don't know how google compares to professional plagiarism software. I am willing to pay for a reputable plagiarism checker provided it is a respected company.

Pocket Radio - good luck with it. Use WriterCheck ONLY - it costs a few dollars but so what? 5 dollars to check your paper properly. That's a deal.
But PLEASE do not use Viper from AA - if you do you will sign away the copyright to your essay for ever! So people could resell your essay at any time in the future - why they demand this, I am not sure, but I think probably they would want to try and sell all the essays in a few years or make them available as a free collection (which they have just done!!!). Me, I never give my work away for nothing.
Please remember that WRT is a proven liar and owns essay companies in the UK which are REALLY struggling at the moment. I, by contrast, own no essay sites at all, but the retarded psycho WRT (who does) thinks I am someone I am not, and there is nothing I can do to make the twerp change his paranoid deluded mind! Weird. Hence the abuse... I think the guy has serious issues.
Carly - you know nothing of the law, clearly. Your pathetic veiled threat makes you sound ridiculous! Go and talk to 'Jen' - this is 'Jen' who has been thrown out of the law society is it? Please tell us why (I already know of course)! The Jen who threatens writers and students? The Jen who is so crap at the law she did not realise that AA promises were in fact illegal for YEARS! Go back to sleep, Carlykins...
The amount of lies and libel and threats and abuse posted on here for the past few months means that the owners of this forum are liable to be sued by very many people before you - so join the queue Carly love! You recently admitted that UKEssays had until recently made illegal promises on your website re grades - so i really do not think you have any legal experts at AA eh...

All professional plagiarism software does is check through Google, Yahoo and Bing (which tend to more or less index the same content anyway) and through past papers submitted through the software.
i.e. if you user Turnitin or Viper, it will scan against work submitted previously through turnitin or viper.
I honestly think the best way to ensure your work is OK when you come to submit it, is to use it (like you said) as an outline.

Hi,
I came here looking for reviews on PhD-Dissertations too, I have a 12 page research paper due in a week and I submitted the questionnaire they have on their website on Friday to ask if they can meet the specific requirements (i.e incorporate my field observations, and have the writer keep me informed about the direction of the paper so that I can prepare my presentation), but I never got a response.
So on Saturday I sent them an email. It took them a full day to reply and ask me to resend the info, which I did right away. And I haven't heard anything from them ever since.
I looked around quite a bit as well, and they seemed like the only legit/viable ones, but now I'm having doubts because if it takes them 4 days to answer a simple question how can I trust them to deliver the project on time?
How was your experience in terms of getting the essay on time and the quality?

Libel (for written, broadcast, or otherwise published words)—is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government, or nation a negative image
You keep saying we sell the essays scanned into Viper. We don't.
So, I'm requesting you stop saying this.
That is all.

I recently admitted what? We make no illegal promises about grades. If you're referring to our newest guarantee, we offer you money back if the essay you buy does not help you write a better piece yourself. This is an incentive to STOP people handing the work in. This is an incentive to legitimise the industry and only attract people who want to use the work as a model answer. If you were buying a product that didn't work, you'd want your money back, right?
Is this is what you're referring to? As I said to WritersBeware before, I'm happy to discuss this guarantee with her, and I'd welcome any feedback about how we can make it clearer.

Carly - oh do shut up! You are SO ignorant of the law it's funny and embarrassing, for you that is!
UKEssays (AA) needlessly demands that anyone using Viper signs over the copyright of the essay to them. This means AA CAN sell or use those essays in future. THAT is tantamount to a scam - because no-one actually realises that when they use Viper! SO SHUT YOUR IGNORANT BIG MOUTH, CARLY!
AA has admitted that it only just realised its guarantees were illegal - how can AA guarantee a grade WHEN AN ESSAY IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HANDED IN? You admitted that here.
Most posts on this forum are abusive, libellous, full of lies and slander, and attempts at disparaging and maligning essay sites. GROW UP LOVE!
No-one can be prosecuted for wht they say on an anonymous dumb forum YOU MORON! READ SOME LAW, LOSER!
PS no good asking Jen - she who has been chucked out of the law society for being a FRAUD! Care to elaborate for the folks at home CARLY? Well?

I paid 5 dollars and ran it through Writecheck. Thanks for the suggestion, Student Advice.
Writecheck said it matches 41% from other sources. From briefly scanning the writecheck results this 41% seems to be primarily made up of quotations which are referenced in the paper by the PHD writer and common expressions used in writing such a paper, which is partly ok but I have requested a rewrite of these sections. If I exclude quotations 23% of the text is from other sources, apparently.
Arkomo, I won't advise you for or against but all I can say is there appears to be quite a few scam sites out there but I can put my hand on my heart and say I paid them on Satuday morning and I had a paper by Sunday midnight. I'm sure if I had at least a week I would have had a far superior paper. My biggest gripe is that there seems to be an awful amount of quotations used.
I paid 32 dollars per page for the 1-3 day service. Tbh I probably would use them again if I needed to, provided the rewrite goes well but I would probably opt for the 30 day service as it is only 17 dollars per page and the writer would have a hell of a lot more time to research the paper.

Wrong. Above you said:
StudentAdvice: you might well see it on sale within hours of your scanning it. (eg Viper fromAA).
Implying we sell the essays. Which we don't. That is libel.
StudentAdvice: AA has admitted that it only just realised its guarantees were illegal - how can AA guarantee a grade WHEN AN ESSAY IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HANDED IN? You admitted that here.
Wrong. Read my post again, in the thread I said we only just realised WritersBeware had made a post about our guarantee. I was apologising for only just seeing it. I maintain, there is nothing illegal about our guarantee.
StudentAdvice: Most posts on this forum are abusive, libellous, full of lies and slander, and attempts at disparaging and maligning essay sites. GROW UP LOVE!
None of mine are. And they don't have to be. You have to take a long, good look at the people that are doing that and ask why.
StudentAdvice: PS no good asking Jen - she who has been chucked out of the law society for being a FRAUD! Care to elaborate for the folks at home CARLY? Well?
As far as I'm aware Jen hasn't been chucked out of anywhere. In fact, she just had two articles published by the Institute of Legal Executives. One was about our industry and the issues surrounding it legally and the second was an educational supplement, which was a guide to answering legal problem questions.

Pocket Radio - good for you. The score seems fine: a % is only part of any scan - you then need to look at what is being idenitified. So quotations, references, common phrases will always register. Use your own judgement really.
Carly: Implying we sell the essays. Which we don't. That is libel.
NO NO NO - Loopy-Loo Carly! WRONG! Implying something, and using modals of possibility such as may, might or could, will NOT be classified as a STATEMENT of LIBEL in ANY legimate court. I did not say you DID sell the essays immediately; I said you COULD.
The question is, why do you demand that poor innocent naive students sign over to you their essays so you can make profit from them in future? Or use them as a free database to promote your site? VERY scammy, that is.
You DID post on here a while back that you had ONLY JUST been made aware that UKEssays guarantee of a grade was in fact ILLEGAL! That is because NO_ONE can guarantee a grade - especially for a paper that is NOT handed in (or supposed to be). It is what is known as a PARADOX, Carly. Look it up.
Jennifer was chucked out of the legal society for writing law essays and helping others cheat.

Do you mean where I said this:
Hey, WritersBeware I've only just spotted your message about the 'legality' of our guarantee. In the interest of keeping this thread free, as CriticalTheory requested, would you like to open a new thread up and I'll respond to your concerns. :)
In this thread?
Because that's the only time I've discussed the guarantee on this forum. Absolutely feel free to search my posts and find the other time I'm meant to have mentioned.
Let me make our guarantee absolutely clear, because you really do seem to misunderstand.
1) You buy an essay from our writers
2) You read though it and use it like a model answer
3) Write your own piece
4) Get it marked by our writers
5) Make any recommended changes from our writers
6) HAND IN YOUR OWN WORK
7) IF that piece gets a worse grade than the piece you bought from us we'll refund your money.
We're not guaranteeing a grade. We're guaranteeing using our service will help you get the grade you want, legitimately, legally.
As for the Viper thing, we've been through this with members of the forum before. We hold onto the essay for marketing purposes, after three years we may decide to use snippets of the essays for advertising or marketing.
WriteCheck, which belongs to Turnitin, which you keep recommending isn't so perfect either:
In their privacy policy:
If you are thirteen (13) years of age or older, Turnitin may also use your personal information to offer or furnish additional products and services and to personalize the types of information you receive from Turnitin.
They'll use your personal information to 'furnish additional products and services.'
Right, off home from work now.. Enjoy your evening.

This is a good indication of whether or not the company is going to be reliable i.e. their communication. Your project needs your writer to stay in touch with you (I'm assuming you have deadlines) and this is a good yardstick (they took 4 days) to reject them. Keep looking....
StudentAdvice: how can AA guarantee a grade WHEN AN ESSAY IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HANDED IN? You admitted that here.
Very simple, they guarantee it so that when students use the essay to structure their own work (which is what they are supposed to do!), they can be sure that what their working from a decent paper. It does not imply you hand it in as yours.
Just a few thoughts...

companies actually do this so that you don't scam them-- taking the paper, doing a chargeback, and running. it's a real pain, too, because it often means the writer has to wait while the customer's "scam radar" stops its crazed ringing.

It's clear as day it's one of your sites. you use the 'dirty foreigners' tactic to hide the phone in graphic file too, you learn a lot of tricks from "us, the fraudsters" :) Just compare links that you put to INTENTIONALLY manipulate search engine ranks on both sites not to mention other things I won't mention :) You are into Russian-English translation too?
Govori po rusky?
Report yourself to Google for the volition of their TOS and selling paid links for PR manipulation or else someone else will.

Yuri, you're an absolute moron.
Haven't you been in enough trouble since being hatched in 1978? Get any speeding tickets lately? Acquire any more properties illegally? (You're lucky that your 1-year jail sentence was suspended.) Sued by any banks? Get deported?

WritersBeware: Arkomo did NOT place an order. If she had, communication would surely have been very different.
So they only bother to communicate properly with those who have placed an order? I'd take my order elsewhere thank you very much. Good customer service (which includes good communication) should be a standard practice, and not only for those who have placed an order. Anyway it's Arkomo's choice, if you want go ahead, it's a free world, just don't come back crying.

stu4: That's what birds were twittering in 1976.
More senseless drivel, as usual. Step up to the plate or shut up.

I write for phd-dissertations...totally legit and the work won't be resold. If you get a plagiarized paper, just report it to them and the writer will get fired if it's verified. If the reliance on quotes is excessive, they'll rewrite it. I know it's not one of mine because I almost never use any quotes except when the customer demands it, and even then, only under protest after trying to explain that using a lot of quotes is not usually a good idea. Just out of curiosity, what was your general topic?

Carly: 1) You buy an essay from our writers 2) You read though it and use it like a model answer 3) Write your own piece 4) Get it marked by our writers 5) Make any recommended changes from our writers 6) HAND IN YOUR OWN WORK
it's like the myth of Sisyphus.

Carly: 1) You buy an essay from our writers 2) You read though it and use it like a model answer 3) Write your own piece 4) Get it marked by our writers 5) Make any recommended changes from our writers 6) HAND IN YOUR OWN WORK 7) IF that piece gets a worse grade than the piece you bought from us we'll refund your money.
TRANSLATION:
1) You pay us (ukessays.com) to write your essay
2) We give you permission to use—and claim as your own—ideas that aren't yours
3) "Re-write" our paper that you received from us
4) (HERE'S THE RUB)
PAY an additional, substantial fee to have us "pre-grade" the same writing and ideas that we wrote for you in the first place
(Basically, the company is charging the CUSTOMER a fee to pre-cover the company's costs in the event that the customer demands a refund for the order. BRILLIANT!)
5) Ask our writer to re-write what he/she already wrote after you re-wrote it
(Yeah, sounds pretty damn ridiculous, doesn't it? That's because it is.)
6) Hand in the paper that we wrote, you re-wrote, and we re-re-wrote
(and for which you paid—TWICE)
7) After we willingly enable and encourage you to engage in plagiarism and academic fraud by submitting OUR writing and ideas for academic credit and you receive an "unacceptable" grade, you will then have to jump through 1,417,691 hoops to get us to honor our "grade" guarantee
(Good luck with that! PS: We love contracts.)

Erm, nope, we refund the marking charge too.
WritersBeware: Ask our writer to re-write what he/she already wrote after you re-wrote it
Nope, we send the work to one of our experts who grades the piece and comments on possible improvements. The customer then makes these improvements.
WritersBeware: and we re-re-wrote
Again wrong, we don't edit the paper.
WritersBeware: jump through 1,417,691 hoops to get us to honor our "grade" guarantee
Again, wrong. If you have used the marking service and made the recommended changes AND still get a failed grade, just send us the transcript and we'll send you your money back.
WritersBeware: as I mentioned to Carly, please don't comment on things that you do not understand
Look, you've already made a few misconceptions about what we are and aren't offering. As I offered before, lets make a thread and look at the guarantee in more detail. At least I'm offering a solution and not being rude to you, saying 'don't comment because you do not understand.'
WritersBeware: Perhaps I should engage in more commentary about YOUR sites?
If you're referring to the guarantee, I have already welcomed a discussion.
WritersBeware: Carly: because you really do seem to misunderstand Sorry, but I have not misunderstood a damn thing. I know your company's game. Please don't insult me by treating me as if I were one of your customers.
That comment was actually directed at StudentsBeware, not you. I can see why you thought this, but your name is there because I was quoting something I said previously to you, I just forgot to wrap that in the quote mark up.

Just to let anyone who is considering using phd-dissertations. I paid for a paper and received it and it seems to be pretty original according to writecheck.coms report that 41% is from other sources. Approximately 18% of the paper is quotations and the other 23% is from other sources, of the 41% I would say 15% is direct plagiarism.
I have contacted phd and I am waiting on a reply to the rewrite request. I'll will keep you guys updated.
