Be Very Disturbed
My friends, I hope you are disturbed by this website: http://www.customessaymeister.com/ I know I am.
Even if you aren't a teacher, ever on the lookout for students who may have plagiarized their work, this is disturbing. I've looked at websites before that advertise writing papers for you for a fee and all that. It's not that I'm naive about these kinds of services. But I was somewhat shocked by the elaborate lengths this one goes to cover up cheating. I think it tops them all in terms of how professional and appealing it would be for someone who wants to have someone else do their work for them and then call it their own. I mean, an industry based on cheating? And couched as such a wonderful enterprise? Complete with client testimonials? And touted because they don't hire foreigners to write papers cheaply, because they don't know English very well and many of them "plagiarize," whereas these papers are true custom-written papers by native speakers of English? And with a section dealing with plagiarism, in which they say they take it very seriously and make sure their writers do not plagiarize, because "clients" have the right to expect the product they purchase is not plagiarized, so they will not ever have to clean up the mess such a fact could produce, which would hurt the "innocent client"? This is sick.
I'm worried because I had thought I could usually catch plagiarists. This is what I tell students. It's really not that difficult if you've been reading their writing all year, then you suddenly get a paper that puts things in a different tone and with a much higher vocabulary level than they are prone to use. And google does wonders to detect plagiarists, as they are usually too lazy to plagiarize only from books. But with this kind of subterfuge--an original paper written for the student that allegedly can't be traced--I'm not sure I can catch these kids anymore. Not that I need to be obsessed with always catching them or anything. After all, I really believe they will get their punishment someday, even if I never figure out they cheated. But it's really sad that our society has come to this. Again, this website is presented as if it's an up and up legitimate business. And don't you love the disclaimer? It must be on there to keep them from getting in trouble with the law. Here it is, if you didn't look at the website:
"We provide custom essay and term paper writing services, inclusive of research material, for informational purposes only. This site does not promote cheating. Our custom term papers must be used with proper citing. Our services are officially sold by 2CheckOut.com, Inc., Ohio, USA. 2Checkout.com (2CO), a Better Business Bureau Member company."
Talk about bold-faced lies. Can you imagine a student paying big bucks for a custom paper, turning it in, and using "proper citing" to alert readers that he/she did not write it? You have to be kidding!
In case you're wondering how much these services cost, I got some price quotes. A 12 page research paper for high school will run around 250 dollars. A 190 page dissertation for a PhD will run around 6500 dollars.
The site claims these papers are written by graduate students. I'm disgusted to think there are those in academia with such a lack of conscience that they could even consider taking such work! Plagiarism is such a deadly sin in the academic world, and these "students" are getting paid to help someone else plagiarize? Where is your conscience America?

That's pretty sad. Reflects the general lack of moral compass in our society, I'd say.
Something has to be done about this. I mean, charging poor students $250 for a grade? That is so unreasonable!!!! ;)
