My job with a non-profit health education organization includes duties that involve soliciting donations. I had the current task of presenting to a potential major contributor a report and presentation that could have kept us staffed, and our doors open for the next five to six years.in other words this was a major project, no room for error.
I was blinded sided by the dead line being moved up six weeks, the board of the company wanted to see our presentation for funding six weeks early! Lacking some information from California, and in need of an expert proofreader, I went online for help. I found this Essay Town who claimed to have College Professors do research, as well as proof read and edit papers.
I sent an inquiry and got a response the next day. For $100.00 dollars they would fill in the research, and proof this type of document, and do so before a week. So I emailed the report I had along with a money order of my own money, that I sent regular Postal Service.
Ten days later I had no response, so I emailed. Two days later I emailed again, and received a rude reply saying he know nothing of any report, and had no idea what I was talking about. I traced the money order and it was deposited. I kept asking and pleading with someone called Jason, and this Jason got down right belligerent, and accused me of being anything from a liar and a thief to a crazy woman?
However the story does not end with this nightmare, three weeks later my co-worker was looking at this Essay Town site, and found our report for sale on this site! Now why is this place calling me a thief? Now if that just not take the cake!
Luckily I did manage to present the report, after a mad scramble, and assistance from a helpful local teacher. We got most of the funding we sought. I guess this is a lesson to always CYA, use receipt for money in the mail, and check this company before you do business.
