“I am satisfied with the writing expert's assistance...”

Kayla G.
1/15/24

I am satisfied with the writing expert's assistance thus far. Their expertise is evident in their nuanced guidance, aligning well with my academic pursuits in Educational Leadership. The expert demonstrates a deep understanding of content and structure, which is essential for my doctoral studies. Their feedback is insightful and constructively critical, helping me refine my arguments and enhance the clarity of my writing. This level of specialized support is instrumental in progressing toward my Ph.D. Goals.

Not recommended. I wasted time and money. The product doesn't follow the instructions that i needed. The customer services sucks and wasn't helpful at all. They didn't refund my money. I wasted time because those 2 so called "experts" didn't do what u requested. Overall will not recommend to anyone.

wasted my time

Reason I chose this business:

I saw it on google. I thought is good but i was wrong.

Do not recommend it. They charged me and they didn't do the job, Very unprofessional, keep yourself away from trouble, and do not recommend it. Your request will be on auction for many days until they charge you and after they block you. Do not recommend, scam

A TOTAL SCAM. Overprice and they give you two options of payments, in one they offer the option of two installments- payment with a 10% discount ( DON'T GET THIS). You end up paying A LOT more without the discount. I wouldn't recommend, never on time and not worth the money (Paid 300 Canadian dollars and end up with a C)

Most writers on this site are really Poor don't let their 5-star ratings fool you. I have recommended a couple of friends to this website and I wish I never did. Something is not right with their ratings and reviews. I did many assignments last year with this site but things are no longer the same as 3 of my classmates got average grades despite working with different writers.

I tried to explain that their ratings looked fishy but they didn't understand.

My e-mail address was used for this review, which I did not write. A false name was also used with it.

I suspect Studybay is a scam site, using customer's e-mail addresses for fake reviews.

Reason I chose this business:

I needed help writing my term paper, this was the most popular in reviews.

I sent the email no luck I really don't understand the service. It sucks and I suggest you don't use it. I did not get a refund back for not receiving my essay paper. Worst service ever…

I hired an "expert" to write a 2 page paper on Buddhism. The paper they initially gave me had some flaws. I asked them to revise it. They did, but it still came back with a Turnitin score of 38% (almost 50%), and there was plagiarism. The first sentence was a definition straight from Wikipedia. ‍ I ended up paraphrasing the items I knew were plagiarized, got the paper to a 29% on Turnitin and submitted by paper. I got a 73% on my assignment. I let Studybay know, and they did nothing. They sided with the "expert".

I'm assuming they read my complaint. Talked with the writer and sided with them. Supposedly they couldn't find any plagiarism and didn't find a questionable Turnitin score. I should show them pics from Wikipedia.

Reason I chose this business:

I needed a good paper, and wanted to save time.

Paid $600 for this person called OBUTE G for a service gave her an entire week to do the work and now it's due and she hasn't even started on any of the assignments. I had a hard week and family emergency I thought it would be a good idea to hire some help but this site is a scam. Should be shut down! I will be posting everywhere so people don't fall for this scam site like I did. I'm sure any good reviews are all fake! Once you pay there's no communication nothing. And these people live out of the country. Some foreigners that are scamming people. Be careful people! Don't buy into this!

Tip for consumers:
Do not use the site studybay! They are scammers that live outside of the country.

• Updated review

Last year I used Studybay and a guy called Cyber. I made a once-off payment and I was very happy.
I even recommended a colleague.

This year not only did I receive poor to lowest-quality work, but I also made 1st a partial payment and the system forced me to pay otherwise I was not able to see the work. I have complained about it for 3 days now and no one revert back to me. Moreover, did I receive a project that I had to redo all over again, otherwise I should expect a 0 for a mark? See my project attached and verify it with your so-called expert's project.

I did not receive any feedback at all. I've been contacting customers for 3 days in raw.

Reason I chose this business:

I am under pressure to finish the project. I am a full-time employee and because of the professional work I got from Cyber whom I met through Studybay last year, I decided to give it a go this year again. I deeply regret it. I hope I do not have to wait for ages for the full overcharged refund.

However, your website design is 200%
