I was curious to find out if Google AdWords had followed through on the ban of "academic paper writing services." To my surprise, Google is still allowing a fraudulent operation from the Phillipines to defraud countless people. (The same fraudsters own several sites that have already been banned by Google AdWords: a1essays.com, topmostessays.com, essaysonthedot.com, ewritersonline.com, and ur-paper-mate.com.) They have three NEW scam sites on which they falsely lead American customers to believe that they are located in the United States. They also lie to customers that they hire only Master- and Doctoral-level writers from American universities. In reality, they hire foreign, ESL writers who possess no such degrees.
Quoted lie:
"Our selection process maintains that we only hire masters degree and doctorate degree holders from premiere colleges and universities. The rigorous selection process ensures that we maintain only the best quality that our customers deserve."
http://www.aimpapers.com/whyus.php
They have 3 different accounts in Google AdWords, which they use to advertise the exact same product via 3 different domains. That is against AdWords policy. Google AdWords allows only 1 account per company, per product.
They also purposely alter their viewable domain names so that AdWords employees do not recognize the domains as "academic paper writing services" and remove them, per AdWords policy.
Real address of their representative in the Phillipines:
Viray, Emmanuel (manny@websoft.com.ph)
Hillside Lane St., Ridgemont
Taytay
Rizal, 1920
Philippines
(632) 284-4153
How to find them online:
Search for "essay" in Google, and view the AdWords column on the right.

tudok: i really don't understand the point of your question. is their lying about what dates/contact information/qualifications not enough to stop a rational consumer from using their services?
but in answer to your question, their writing pretty much sucks. here is an example from one of their sample papers, filled with blatant spelling errors, grammar mistakes and wordiness:
Magic: The Gathering is also colloquially known as the magic card which the youth of
today have been hooked upon. Basically speaking, Magic: The Gathering is originally a collectible type of card game which has been introduced by the Wizards of the Coast in the year of 1993. It is found out that there are about six million individuals that are playing the game in the different parts of the globe. The game can be played by two or more players which have their own sets of deck of cards printed and used in Magic: The Gathering. In this regard, it cannot be denied that in order to play the game, there should be two or more players that will engage in the fight or a battle. Meaning to say, it cannot be denied that the game signifies a fight and a battle between wizards that are powerful in using their magic. Hence, it is expected that the wizards will utilized different forms of spells in order to combat and fight another wizard. In addition to this, magical items and creatures will also be utilized in relation to the battle that each wizard should win. Meaning to say, the game is more like a role playing system wherein the players will pretend that they are witches and wizards in dealing with each other (Badwin, 115).

Horrible.
watermelon: i don't have any personal experience with Writer.PH so i don't know if they're a scam, but they do threaten to fine writers for making mistakes and they have that ambiguous line about needing to be loyal to the company that seems a little odd. like with any company, if you do apply, i'd suggest starting small and ensuring that you get paid before you commit yourself to long projects.

Quoting: karen_6150 I would like to asked WritersBeware are you really sure about this details?
1. The ridiculously low prices that they charge absolutely guarantee (with 99% certainty) that they cannot afford to hire American writers with Master/Doctoral degrees. Bea realistic here--they charge CUSTOMERS less per page than what the average, Master-level writer in the US charges legitimate companies to write per page.
2. I have read their humorous, pathetically incompetent samples that contain common, ESL mistakes in every sentence.

IGNORANCE! Try reading all of my previous posts before accusing me of being a racist! I have already explained my reasoning several times; I will not do so again.
You want to know the problem with most ESL writers? Read your previous post! It contains ten (10) grammatical and spelling mistakes in the span of only two (2) sentences!
By the way, genius, one cannot be "racist" against a language.

It is really troublesome to see an accusation of racism bandied about in such a casual manner.
The conflation of race and English language speakers under the term "racism" is a foolish attempt to silence WB. Individuals who learn English as their first and/or primary language may be any race just as individuals who learn English as a second language may derive origination from any race.
At worst, discrimination against ESL speakers might potentially be legally construed as national origin discrimination. American law prohibits discrimination in employment decisions based upon several different categories including both race and national origin. It's called Title Vii of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
However, writing companies are within their legal rights to not hire ESL writers because the ability to write English at a high level is a "bona fide occupational qualification." I doubt this case has been argued yet but I don't think essay writing companies refusing to hire ESL writers need to worry too much about a lawsuit.
In many cases, hiring ESL writers would compromise the quality of the work provided by many writing services. Don't believe me? Read the excerpt I posted above from the service focused upon in this thread and try to portray it as quality writing. What's sad is they do.
So cut the crap racism accusation. It's pathetic and makes you look desperate.

Sorry about this guys. I just hope you don't judge all of us ESL writers based on her mistakes.

And what if one took a proficiency test and passed with excellent marks? Would refusal to hire them be grounds for a lawsuit?

Wow, another IGNORANT, inflammatory post from someone who doesn't bother to read previous explanations before labelling me a "racist."
FYI, as a new poster, at least stick to ONE thread so that others may educate you on the facts before you jump around to other threads libelling me.

Can you please quote for me the post in which I suggested that ESL writers who have mastered the English language are not qualified to write for American companies? I'll bet $1 that you can't find such a post. I'll bet you another $1 that I can quote a previous post in which I clearly stated the EXACT OPPOSITE!
I suggest that you watch the accusations of racism, as they are not very becoming of someone who claims to be a professional writer.

Argghh.. Will you quit being on the defensive? I was correcting her statement, if you haven't noticed. I even apologized for her grammar. The second question was an honest one. If some company refused to hire me, could I sue their asses?
I am no longer interested in debating. i just think this thread can help me just like everyone else.

Since this forum is not focused on race or racism, the question is not applicable.
For the sake of discussion, you are obviously a qualified writer in the English language, so I would not anticipate you being denied employment by any of the American companies in the essay industry.
I believe that all of the American companies require multiple writing samples as part of the application process. Unqualified, ESL writers simply do not pass the test.
Again, I have no problem whatsoever with honest, qualified, ESL writers who have mastered the English language. My problem is with unqualified liars who cheat the American public.

I be from India, but I saw you making fun of writers from our country also in other thread. Let me ask, if you think Mr. Unbeliever_Paradox is competent writer, what about what you say about you being better than all ESL writers? Are you sure that Mr. Paradox is at most equal to you but not better than you? Just wanna know.

Proof, please. For the record, asking you to confirm that "you be from India" would constitute "making fun." If you consider calling attention to grammatical mistakes "making fun," sorry--welcome to the real world!
Quoting: pissed Are you sure that Mr. Paradox is at most equal to you but not better than you?
I stand by my statement that no ESL writer on the planet writes more soundly than me in the English language. I am not bragging; rather, I am simply stating what I believe to be fact. I am an accomplished author, having earned a Ph.D. in English from U.C. Berkeley. I have also taught English courses for both native and ESL students.

I just wanted to point out that my mocking of poor writing skill is race neutral. i don't know the origin of EWwriter or anyone else on this board. i've always found glaring grammar mistakes pretty grating, regardless of the background of the writer (or speaker... unless there is a sexy accent involved). i correct my little sister too and i'm pretty sure i can't really be discriminatory against her background since it matches my own.
and posing to be an expert at anything when one is clearly not is the most worthy subject of mocking that i can imagine. the lesson is clear: don't be a poser.
