John S.

I contracted for a dissertation proposal to be researched for me. I went out of my way to make sure that this was a reputable company and spoke with the leader of the writing staff, James Robbins. You can see by the e-mail string that I was lied to:

James on the telephone said he would do the paper for me (writer 114).
James then said he found a writer for me.
The deadline expired and I was never contacted or updated.
When I checked on it, I got no response from James.
I escalated to Hala Khalek, the owner.
Hala said James was ill and she would take on the paper herself.
Hala said I would be "delighted" with the work and receive a full refund since the deadline was not met -- per their policy.

There was not a single pro-active e-mail, web message or telephone call from any person at Thessayist.com during my month long ordeal.

After numerous delays and false promises, no work has been delivered, nor a refund processed. Hala and James have not responded to any phone calls or e-mails for a week. I got SCAMMED.________________________________________

Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 22:45:42 -0500

Hala & James- the hours fly by and still no response from either of you. I have done everything within my power to be a great customer. I spoke with James for almost an hour before I engaged your company to help me. I thought I had done my homework and had found a company that MIGHT be okay.

My concerns and fears about using a service has now totally been validated. I can do this work, I completed my PhD coursework at 4.0 and a near perfect on my comps. I took a risk and trusted you and your company. I took James' advise as he said "just try us for a draft of the proposal."

I have now been waiting for a month for the completion of work that was supposed to take 7 days. I received e-mails that lead me to believe that research I paid for was just moments from being sent to me.

I am left at a point where I need to use the only leverage I have -- the power of the internet. If I don't receive the order by Noon PST, Sunday 9/26 then I will post to every consumer website I can find this entire e-mail string. I placed an order... I paid... I even offered extensions on the delivery time so that the work didn't have to "slam" Hala's time. I thought I was being a sympathetic and accommodating customer, even though it made me miss a deadline at school. I now wonder if James was even ill? I am probably just a naive sucker that got scammed by your company.

The first set of websites that I will post to:

www.ripoffreport.com
www.sitejabber.com
www.pissedconsumer.com
www.epinions.com
www.measuredup.com
www.rateitall.com
www.consumersearch.com
www.consumerreview.com
www.essayscam.org
www.complaintsboard.com
www.scamessays.com

If I had received ANY type of communication over the past 4 days, I would not be at this point. James took my call on Thursday and said he was going to text Hala -- I have checked my account twice daily and my e-mail twice daily. There has bee NOTHING communicated. This situation can be resolved if you want it to be. -John________________________________________

Hello Hala and James- it is Friday 9/24 8am PST/4pm GMT and I have not received any communication since Tuesday 9/21. Could I please have the courtesy of a response?

In 3 days it will be 1 month since I paid for my order which had a 7 day turn-around. If there is work completed, I would appreciate receiving it. I do not understand the lack of communication as I have been very flexible. -John________________________________________

Hala & James- I am so baffled. I thought I had been an accommodating customer... understanding James' medical challenges and then giving Hala extra days, well beyond the commitment date she set for herself to complete the proposal. I've been given firm and final commitments -- I am the only one proactively communicating.

It is now Thursday, 11am PST and I have had zero contact since Tuesday when Hala said the paper needed 2 more hours in plagiarism checker.

Can I PLEASE have a status update? I engaged your service to reduce my stress level and I have ended up in an untenable situation that has been far more stressful than doing the research myself. If you do not intend on completing my order, please let me know so that I can move on. -John________________________________________

John, do you have access to ProQuest Dissertation and thesis (database of all theses submitted across the world over the past 30 years and more)? Search for XXXXXX not one thesis on it. Search for XXXXXX you will find a few but the topic remains new. Yours will actually be the very first to discuss this particular topic this, in itself, is an academic achievement of tremendous import. I want the write up to live up to the potential and to exceed it, if you know what I mean.

Hala, I just logged in to the web site and now see a delivery commitment of 3:45 am, tomorrow. You of course have the upper hand because now I can only wait... it is too late for me to do this work. Had I known 9 days ago that this proposal draft would be postponed, I could have done it over the past two weekends.

What is the actual probability of getting the proposal in the next 24 hours?

I spent considerable time researching companies and spoke directly with James and my skepticism of trusting a company to complete my request. His reassurances that your company was reputable and produced good work convinced me to try your company.

I am really discouraged by my experience... I would feel differently if I had been at any time PROACTIVELY communicated with that commitments needed to be adjusted. I have been totally blindsided and disappointed least 3 times over the past 2 weeks. I login and pray for an update.

Please let me know the status of my order. Regards, John________________________________________

Hello Hala, I sent James an e-mail yesterday asking for an updated completion time but I have not heard back from him. I missed a deadline with my mentor to turn in the proposal yesterday. I thought I had plenty of time to spend with the proposal and add to it, based on the original commitment of having a proposal delivered late last Friday.

Tomorrow will be a full week beyond the original commitment and I have no idea if I'll even have work delivered by then.

Can I ask you to get to me a realistic date for when the proposal will be ready? Thanks, John________________________________________

Dear John,
Thank you for signing up as a customer and we would like to take this opportunity to explain why this is an excellent decision.
While there are countless websites which offer a comparable service to those within The Essayist network, and some are, indeed, excellent in every way. None, however, offer the range, quality and benefits which we do.

With regards to range, note that we are among the very few (if not the only one) to offer:
1) Tutoring Services
2) Research Assistance Services
3) Comprehensive University/College management application services
4) Medical Research Writing Services
5) Academic Advisory Services

With regards to quality, we are definitely one of the very very few who
1) Actually do have a Quality Control Department staffed by professionals
2) Actually check our writers' academic qualifications
3) Actually only hire linguistically fluent writers (most are American, British and Australian but a handful are ESL with superb command of the English language)
4) Actually interview and test writers prior to accepting them
5) Actually are primarily British (with minority Australian and American ownership), both in corporate registration and in company owner nationality
6) Actually are a legitimate, registered company which has to adhere to Consumer Protection, Consumer Rights and Service Quality laws and regulations

With regards to benefits, they are too numerous to enumerate but the short list is:
1) We are the only model custom writing service which gives clients the copyright to the work they orders through us
2) We are the only model custom writing service which a) never resells, publishes or otherwise uses any part of the work received from us and b) has completely and utterly stripped itself of the legal right to resell, publish or otherwise use, in whole or in part, any work which any customer receives from any of our Academic Research and Service Division (The Essayist network)
3) We are the only company which provides customers with a signed, legal, Non Disclosure and Confidentiality Contract
4) We are the only company which does not simply deliver the work but, explains it to the customer and takes the time to actually tutor the customer on the topic, when and if requested
5) We are the only company which is transparent about its ownership and the websites which it owns and operates
6) We are the only company which provides customers with an accurate plagiarism report, using the same engine which your university does but ensuring that it is never stored on the `repository' (student paper database). Others who provide such reports either use their own software (and store the paper) and provide you with a free report or, use their own software (store the paper) and provide you with a report at a fee.
7) We are among the rare handful of companies whose writers are academically qualified, experienced researchers and linguistically fluent (unless otherwise stated, native English language speakers)

Your trust in us will be rewarded and you will only ever be fully satisfied with our service and work.

So, welcome to our company!
Regards,

Hello James, thank you for your time yesterday. I appreciate your willingness to discuss the services offered by your company. As I mentioned, I am only interested in a company that will give me exclusivity to the research work that I pay for and provide confidentiality. I need to know that the writer is competent in my topic as it pertains to XXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXXX and the use of XXXXXXXXX.

I currently have a dissertation topic: "XXXXXXXXXX?"(If you see a better way to phase this, it can be changed)

Attached is a high-level proposal that I submitted to my mentor. I have not decided upon a survey methodology at this point and could go with qualitative or quantitative based on the writer/researcher's feedback. As I mentioned, I found what looks to be a good company that specializes in Chapter 3.

I have also attached my school's dissertation handbook. I double checked and do not see a minimum requirement for pages. I have read 15-20 dissertations from the school and the written component is usually 125 to 200 pages, excluding bibiography/reference pages.

My prioriity: Submit a proposal for the dissertation. I'd then like to follow-up with Chapter 1 right after the proposal. I would then need Chapter 2.

After submitting Chapters 1-3, I would then get approval form my Mentor and Committee to do research. I have a good plan to complete a survey. I would then need your help for survey analysis and writing of chapters 4 and 5.

Can you look at the topic and let me know if you think this would be a good paper for you to take on?

I would like to place an order for the proposal if you think you or your partner has the expertise. Thank you, John Smith________________________________________

Hi James- I'd like to submit chapters as "pieces" to my advisor for feedback -- beginning with Chapter 1 then either 3 or 2 next. I need to get Proposal approval from my school.

I would then initiate the research survey and come back with the data in order to complete chapters 4 and 5.

Do you have researchers on staff that analyze the data or would I be best to engage with a different Statistics/SPSS consultant for the data interpretation and then come back to your services for Chapters 4 & 5.

Can you tell me what the estimate is per page and what you have seen as an average for dissertations that your writers produce? I've looked at many current dissertations and they range from 125 pages to 200, excluding references.

If you are in TX, perhaps we can have a quick call to resolve these questions.
