I'm a recent graduate and I write essays
for an essay writing service the way the
company gets around is saying they're an
advisory essays as opposed to essays
that you should submit to university if
anyone is genuinely thinking that these
are advisor essays it's probably a bit
naive I don't know the student I have no
contact with the student cells they just
submit their essay title and some
requirements of they want references etc
and I I just write the essay and then
send it back off this is the website I
get an email from the company every now
and then saying you know these essays
are available I go onto the website now
I'll click click the button for
available work and it comes up with just
this list of essays that I'm qualified
to write one brief but I did recently
was a three thousand word essay Jew in
for the next day and that was worth
about three hundred fifty pounds
so I was a big payday for me
you have to question why these students
feel the need to go and buy their essays
what makes them feel so much pressure to
succeed that they have to go in
literally you know purchase parts of
their degree it's the system itself that
is flawed having students that you know
rack up five maybe even six figures of
debt essentially it requires ancestors
to succeed they can't fail and so that
is why they turn to services like this
a lot of friends of mine said and
admitted to having pay for an essay in
the past so it is yeah it's a taboo
subject I think people do do it a lot I
[Music]
had taken a trip down to London for the
weekend on my laptop I'd had about three
essays sort of that night stop so I've
had a drink at a pub suddenly realised
my laptop there's no longer on me
I hadn't backed it up general university
policies like you don't get granted
extensions obviously I was angry upset
my crisis management was awful when I
went into panic mode
I did what I really shouldn't have done
my first thought was immediately to
paper an essay I paid 130 pounds for a
first-class standard essay I received
the essay back and then within a couple
of days and a number of emails start
flooding into my inbox asking for extra
costs
I could immediately sensor the whole
thing was a bit of a scam I was asked to
pay 74 plagiarism check and then if I
didn't pay that within an hour there's
suddenly they would tell me that it was
now the price has now gone up to 200 but
I was getting blackmailed
initially I where I refused to pay for
anything that they asked they would tell
me that they'd post the essay online so
that once I handed in which I already
had it would show up as a hundred
percent plagiarized
through the university plagiarism
checker if it had failed the check
I knew my position of the university
would be at stake stress levels were
increasing rapidly obviously I had other
working at the same time this probably
eventually got up to about four hundred
pounds that I've paid as opposed to the
initial one thirty that was promised I
paid a fine little amount and told in an
email that I'm blocking them and this is
the last I'll hear from me
and this just eventually led to them
sending my essay directly to the
university I receive email from the
University in big capital letters saying
urgent meeting required essay plagiarism
the actual blackmailing so provides a
lot of emotions I could I was obviously
slightly embarrassed at the same time
which meant I didn't wanted to talk to
other people about it so one of those
things you seen would never have to be
happen to you I've loved for my mistakes
I hope I think there's a big to be white
people actually admitting to using these
websites or using other people to write
essays I would strongly recommend not
doing it of course there's a terrible
mistake on my bath
