1) Fake Incomplete Warning Pages Are Used By Foreign Companies.
Don’t be fooled by copies of this warning page - foreign
sites have reproduced look alike pages lacking almost all the essential information contained
in these 20 points.
2) Full UK Bank Details And UK Bank Logo Should Be Displayed
On Website.
If you want to be 100% sure an essay website
is a genuine UK based buisness then ask to pay into their UK
bank account.
All legitimate UK essay companies have a UK bank account with
a UK High Street Bank such as Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds TSB, Natwest etc.
3) Don’t Use Companies With 0808, 0870, or 0845 numbers.
Look for a Geographical UK phone number!
Ours is 01623 499055. Foreign companies can’t get
UK landline numbers. They can only get UK 0808, 0800, 0870 and
0845 numbers which they use to deceive you by porting to their
foreign bases.
4) Ask For Proof Of UK Company And VAT Registration, And
A UK Trading Address.
These must be visible on the site under UK law. All UK sites must have these on their website. Do not accept phoney ‘Ltd’ or ‘Inc’ names, no contact information, forwarding ‘Registered Offices’
or other excuses such as “we are an Internet Company.”
5) Is The Ringtone Strange? If So Then It’s Not A UK
Line!
If a call is routed through a UK 0845, 800, 0875 or 0808
number to a non-UK line the ringtone before the line is answered is very different.
6) Does Their Operator Have An English Accent?
Foreign site operators will not - do not accept any excuses
or lies - they will tell you anything to get you to part with your money - they are based
abroad - it’s as simple as that.
7) Call Any Number And Check That The Phone Line Is Answered.
Some sites don’t have staff there to answer your calls,
don’t accept unmanned phone lines or answer phones.
8) Foreign Companies May Have a .co.uk or .com Domain.
You don’t have to be UK based to purchase a co.uk
domain name - anyone can obtain one. Don’t believe the line “we have a co.uk domain
so we are UK based.”
9) Ask Them To Provide A £5000 Bond To Guarantee No
Plagiarism.
Anyone can type on a website that their work is ‘fully
original’ or ‘100% custom’ - make them put their money where their mouth is by offering you money
if they fail to deliver.
10) Beware of Low Prices - True UK Academic Experts Charge
High Fees.
Our essays are £60 per 500 words - 500 words at 2:1
Level takes approx. 3 hours to research and write - that’s a rate of just £15 per hour (After
taxes) - Top academics will not often work for less!
11) Ensure That The Essayfraud.org Membership Mark Is Displayed.
Essayfraud.org is an Independent essay company watchdog.
They also display warnings about overseas based scam essay companies and provide a complaints
forum for them.
12) Do Not Order From Any Company With A care@ Email Address.
These are all run by a well known Pakistani scam syndicate
- they have over 200 sites so beware!
13) Do Not Order From Any Company That Charges Double Their
.com Prices On Their .co.uk Site
Another common trick of fraud sites - simply remove the
.co.uk and type in .com after the domain to see.
14) Do Not Accept Blatantly False Promises.
For Example - ‘All Writers Have PhD and Master's degrees, along
with writing experience of no less than 25 years, to work upon your essays’ (All for $10 per
250 words? They could earn more as a barman)
15) Do Not Use Sites With False and Illegal Advertising
For Example ... - ‘World’s
Best Essay Site’ or ‘The World’s Finest Custom
Writing Site’ (According to who? Them!) - As voted best
in ‘Some magazine that doesn’t exist’ - or
‘By our customers’ (meaningless lies) - 'Officially
Accredited or Given An Award' (There is no impartial accreditation
or award scheme) - ‘Bonus Offer - For One Week Only’
or ‘Discount If You Order Now’ (Yet it’s offered
365 days a year)
16) Do Not Trust A Site Just Because It Appears/Advertises
On Google.
Google take a “not our problem” approach to
the false promises made on Google Adwords (the coloured adverts at the top and side of Google) as
well as the fraudulent misrepresentations and lies many sites display on their websites. As long as
they pay Google, Google will display their advert.
17) Ask For A ‘On Time Delivery Or Your Money Back
Promise’.
If they are truly going to deliver on time they will not
hesitate to offer you this.
18) Genuine UK Sites and Their Owners Often Appear In The
UK Press.
We have nothing to hide and are always available to speak
to the UK press. Foreign companies often fear such exposure - you won’t find any positive
coverage about them.
19) Do Not Trust Sites That Sell Copyrights Or Encourage
You To Cheat.
They damage the industry, encourage dishonesty and fraud,
yet they expect you to believe they are honest and legitimate businesses! We are campaigning
for this practice to become illegal.
20) Most UK Sites Use WorldPay or Barclays EPDQ.
Do Not Trust Sites That Use 2Checkout.com/2CO.com
For Payments. Almost without exception these sites are foreign
based and take advantage of the looser requirements that 2 Checkout.com
impose on their merchants.
