An insider who knows the truth. Read this.
I worked for this website for a couple of years and numerous other writing websites like this for nearly 7 years.
These are the facts:
1) There is not a single writer affiliated with this website that has a western degree. No Bachelors, No Masters, No Doctorate.
2) Everything about their operation is fake. Their office address, their claims of an actual office anywhere outside of Ukraine. Staff names are entirely fabricated. Writer credentials don't even exist. They don't even collect or check them at this website before they market them as an expert to potential clients. Even here on SiteJabber, if you look at the details of this business, the person representing the company is fake. They are not in the US and they are using a fake stock photo. (If you check on TrustPilot they don't verify their information either). The responses that are provided on here are all fake names from the company to customers. This should show how much they respect customers.
EVERYTHING on their website is a lie.
CLAIM: 100% money back guarantee.
TRUTH: You will NEVER get your money back. They will just screw the current writer and not pay them and give it to another non native English speaker OR give you a credit on your account for another crappy paper.
CLAIM: 1500 active writers waiting for work.
TRUTH: More like 70
CLAIM: Choose your writer.
TRUTH: No you don't. Talking with writers before you place your order does not happen. They know poor English before payment is made will kill their business.
3) This is not a legitimate business. There are no business filings in Ukraine, UK, US or anywhere else. They do not pay taxes, nor collect them. It's a cash business that is unlawful to the extreme.
4) 99% of their writers are from Kenya which is not a native English-speaking country. The highest credentials from a western perspective are equivalent to a high school education.
5) This website is operated by a Ukrainian webmaster with a 100% non-native English speaking workforce.
5) When you pay hundreds and thousands for a paper, the writer is receiving an average of 20%. Many times, I've talked to students onsite, and they complain "I paid $1200 for this paper." How much did I get paid... $180.
6) Ask the writer for their credentials (not even proof), just a general discussion of their background or their ability to complete your work. You'll get no response. This type of conservation is strictly banned. Engage them in any conversation... if you speak English natively, you can easily detect their broken English. They won't even write in full sentences. The same applies to their staff.
7) Every single message and file sent to and from writer and student (and vice versa) is censored and must be approved in Ukraine. Any company that goes to these extreme lengths is obviously concealing something. It's not the CIA, it's a writing website.
8) EssayBox, 99Papers etc. are all the same company, same writers, same staff, and the same Ukrainian owner. When you submit your work on any of their dozens of websites it all goes to a website called ProficientWriters.com where the Kenyan staff awaits your work for minimal pay and the rest goes into the Ukrainian owner's bank account.
In closing, there are many positive reviews on here, and I think that's great. But you will notice a common denominator, they are mostly international students that do not speak English natively or are at very low-quality vocational schools or community colleges. The Kenyan work may be just fine for them to pass. If you are a native English speaker, at an English-speaking university, you are paying a fortune to have someone complete your $1,700 dissertation with an educational equivalent of a high school diploma.
I don't know if SiteJabber will allow anyone reading this to contact me, but if you can, feel free. I can back up everything I've said with proof of racism by the staff, theft, lies, insults and abuse.
PS: 99Papers succeeded in having my last post taken down on a technicality. I will keep posting it, because it is true and people need to know this.
Tip for consumers:
I am an insider... and this company notoriously has the worst customer service in the industry.
I placed an order for a college level 2-page/500 word essay for $40. I sent them a clear prompt, my resume and 2 samples of the kind of essay I was looking for.
EssayBox.org added the MLA format on top and end of the sample essay I had sent and said my order was complete. $40 for about 15 words!
When I pointed this out, they said it was a miscommunication and that the writer would send me an original essay as promised. The following is the "humorous, original, stellar" essay by a Native English speaking writer. You be the judge:
Beep Beep Beep" the annoying sound of my alarm wakes me up from my deep slumber at 4 in the morning. I wake up and go to wash my face in the bathroom. I see my drowsy face reflecting in the mirror, and I gaze at it for a few seconds. All my family members, friends, and classmates are deep in their sleep, but I am getting ready for my morning training, but the thought to get back to sleep for just a few more minutes keeps crossing mind. However, I resist the temptation wear my shoes in a hurry and get out of the house. This type of discipline and commitment has indeed defined the person and student I am today.
At a very young age, martial arts were my favorite type of movies with Jackie Chan as my favorite actor. Being a child who was bullied in school it is not surprising that I became transfixed the first time I saw Jackie Chan fighting the bad people and winning. I wanted to know how to fight like him so that I could defend my friends and myself from all the bullies in school. Being the curious kid that I was, I wanted to learn about this art; therefore, I would wake up after my mother had tucked me in bed just to practice.
After one week of practice, I would hold on to this idea that I was now experienced like Jackie Chan. The next week I would confront a bully in our class and warn him of how bad, I would beat him up if he did not stop bullying me; somehow, it worked for a few hours until after school when they confronted me and beat me up. During the beat up, I tried the moves I had practiced, but none was working. More than I ever I was determined to know how to fight, from the experience I realized that hardships push us closer to our dreams.
In the year 2006, I wrote to Father Christmas about my wish to join karate class that my parents had adamantly refused for me to join. Surprisingly he answered my letter and my parents allowed me to join the class in 2007. I found myself doing what I love most. I would stay after class; visit during leisure time for practice. After a few weeks of practice, I almost gave up as I realized I was not getting better like Jackie Chan but my coach encouraged me. From this experience, I realized that in life giving up is not an option and success does not come over night.
Karate practice is all about pain, sweat, and hard work. Through perseverance and patience, I started improving my skills. From the practices, I also realized that my body could continue longer and better than my mind would have you believe. This situation taught me to push my body and brain to their limits and to keep working to surpass the limits. From my karate skills, I developed my confidence and warned the bullies. With the confidence, I talked to them, and they changed their way. In the same way, I plan to gain patient care skills and improve the pediatric care given to my community.
Like Bruce Lee said, I am not afraid of men who trained 10,000 kicks once, however, I am afraid of men who train one kick 10,000 times, I plan to focus on my gain patient care skills and through practice improving them (User, Super). I can confidently say I conquered the fear of being weak and afraid since I have learned advanced Krav Maga. Moreover, am successful at it as I have a second-degree black belt. Now, I am moving towards the quest of conquering the world."
I had the WORST experience with EssayBox. I ordered a technical essay in early April and they said they have MANY capable writers. They kept telling me the essay will be ready in few days and then I would get NOTHING! They wasted my time just like that for 4 WEEKS and finally they gave me an essay with 80% plagiarism and FULL of grammar errors and the rest was COPY PASTED from the data I HAD GIVEN THEM and had said NOT to use.
PLUS, in addition to me not getting ANY proper essays they even started telling me they cannot give me a refund as there is no grade on my essay to prove it is bad. It had 80% PLAGIARISM!
After weeks of complaining to the manager and giving reasons etc to get my refund they finally accepted and said I'll get the refund in 3-5 working days. 10 DAYS later I still had no response and refund!
WORST experience ever and I DO NOT recommend EssayBox to anyone. They are so unreliable and are the BIGGEST LIARS EVER.
I needed assistance with writing a research paper for undergraduate studies. I gave them 2 weeks to complete the job. They returned it to me within 10 days. There were some minor revisions needed. I returned the paper to the Writer and he/she completed it within the day. I have to say - EssayBox - PRODUCED!
Price is a little steep, but overall, I would use them again and refer them in a heartbeat!
