Following is some interesting information about the people behind thewriterus.wordpress.com:
1. They steal information from other sites and post it on their own pages (as if they authored the information and/or ideas themselves).
2. They post a list of "scam sites," which they stole from elsewhere online.
3. They invite visitors to submit "any other services" to them so that they can blindly label those services as "scams," as well.
4. They claim to have "private" testimonials and writing samples. Wink, Wink.
5. The account at thewriterus.wordpress.com been around for about 10 minutes, but do they tell prospective clients that? Nope.
6. They use a free, unaccountable, anonymous Wordpress blog to conduct business, which is completely unprofessional and untrustworthy.
7. If they scam you, you can't track them down and take legal action because there is no associated domain name ownership data.
8. There are numerous errors in their Web copy at thewriterus.wordpress.com/writing-examples/ and on other pages. NEVER hire a "professional writing" company that isn't qualified enough to produce correct/sound text for its own advertising copy. Remember—you must assume that that is their BEST writing, which they think that YOU are stupid enough to believe is "good" and will place an order.
9. They blatantly violate US laws by advertising that they will engage in academic fraud:
"Because of this specific writing "fingerprint", it is difficult to mimic your manner of writing unless we observe a sample paragraph of your current writing. This is critical in maintaining the facade that the work you turn in reflects the type of person your teacher, professor or boss views you as."

UPDATE:
It appears that the same people have acquired the "thewriter.us" domain and have already changed addresses:
OLD:
Ashe Hru
8609 Second Ave
Silver Spring, MD (Maryland) 20901
1-781-591-2666
arabelleim@gmail.com
NEW:
Ashe Hru
7 E 8TH ST
Suite 209
New York, NY 10003
+1.7815926666
ashesim@rocketmail.com
Gee, what are the chances that the NY address is either fake or just a paid mailing box?
The site at thewriter.us has nearly the exact same text and design that currently exists at thewriterus.wordpress.com.

UPDATE:
Sure enough, it's a UPS Store.

UPDATE:
The Maryland address is that of a business complex, with the suite number conveniently omitted:
http://www.choicerealestate.net/idx/listings/MC7527755/details.html
So, either these people falsified the address for thewriter.us by leaving out the suite number or they have no presence in that Maryland building at all.
