Term Paper Services Check-list

Use the following items as guidelines for determining if the term paper company you are dealing with is a legitimate term paper service.

  • Are they located in the United States? (This is very important because companies outside the US are not bound by US Laws concerning Credit Card Fraud.)
    • Verify this by looking up:
      • Domain Registration Information - WhoIs
      • Get a local, not a toll free telephone number, and do a White Pages Reverse Phone Number Look-up
      • Actually call the telephone number on their web site:
        • Does someone answer?
        • Do they speak clear English?
        • Will they tell you about where they are located in the US?
  • Will they guarantee, in writing, that your term paper will not be plagiarized?
  • Are their prices realistic?
    • Do you really think that a professional writer will write a term paper for $7.99 per page?
      • Starting pay for academic freelance writers with only a bachelor's degree is over $8 per page.

Cheap term paper services don't sell original research - it is either plagiarized from the internet or has been resold hundreds of times over.
  • Do they guarantee a good grade? (Grades cannot be guaranteed but quality can.)
  • Do they write original term papers or are you getting a paper sold before.
  • Will they sell your e-mail address or personal information?
  • Is their order page SSL secure?
    • Look for the Verisign symbol or make sure the order form web address starts with https://

Isn't it biased to demand a US based term paper company?

Beyond that, you need a company that is bound by the laws of the United States so that your personal information is secure.
