Complaint Review: Essaytown - Internet

Meliha, Generally, threats to do something that is not illegal is not actionable blackmail, it's leverage. To me, this is a clear "assumption of risk" case (morally, not legally, because assumption of risk doesn't actually apply here). First, you engaged the services of a company whose sole operation is to help people cheat. You had no reasoable expectation that your transaction would go smoothly. Just like how the crackhead has to realize that he's going to get ripped off every now and then. You dig in the trash, you're going to get some garbage on your shirt. Second, you put yourself in the position where threats of reporting your cheating were viable. That's not to say that the company isn't a scam, but to those of us who worked for our degrees, there is a bigger scam involved.

Enjoy your life. I love how you keep referring to your "product." You deserve each other.

To the writer of this original report: PLease read my report posted today regarding essaytown;s 24 hr service as I see many similarities with my case. I have received many emails from essaytown personnel and I suspect it's the same person who wrote the response here as the language used is almost the same. I was told that their lawyers would sue me because I slandered their name on this website. The person uses THINK AGAIN expression all the time and has an attitude problem. IN his recent response the person wrote that they would refund the money, however then continued to threated with legal action because of the slander and the nature of my request, which was to compile a 20 pg document w/in 24 hrs. They haven't delivered and immediately resorted to threats such as "we;ll call your dean, integrity office etc.", even though I'm currently not enrolled anywhere. does anyone know of any legal actions that have already been taken for this type of blackmail in the past?

Hello, To start, we did not "block" your email address. That is simply a lie. You asked us to deliver our product anyway, even though we had already issued a refund! Does that make sense to you? In addition, your lilbelous complaint was/is still online, and you expect us to HELP you? Did you not read my clear apology for the employee's rudeness (in response to YOUR previous threats) in the first sentence of my previous email? Here it is again: ------------- ". . . I apologize again now." ------------- I step up to the plate--per YOUR request--take responsibility for my company's MINOR infraction, apologize, and you turn around and throw it in my face? On top of that, you have proceeded to threaten us with blackmail! You have zero integrity. You are the aggressor who acted first, out of pure malice, to purposely misrepresent our company as "fraudulent," AFTER having already received our voluntary refund BEFORE we ever knew that you had involved any third party. That is a FACT. Below, you clearly threaten to blackmail our company with additional, misrepresented complaints about an already RECONCILED, voluntarily-refunded transaction, should we simply exercise our right to defend ourselves against your original, libelous claims. You have now proven your malice, both before- and after-the-fact, beyond a shadow of a doubt. You have absolutely no defense for such accusations and false representations! What does a rude comment have to do with fraud? We made no "unfair gains." In fact, we LOST time and money dealing with your nonsense! At the moment you received a refund, "fraud" was impossible. That is clear libel, and a purely malicious attack of misrepresentation. You were well aware that we had already refunded your payment, but you made no mention of that ever-so-crucial fact in your intentionally selective, libelous posting! THAT WOULD BE THE KEY TO OUR LAWSUIT, SIR! You purposely paint us as a money-stealing company that is out to defraud clients. NONSENSE! We do the EXACT OPPOSITE, as PROVEN by the refund that we issued to you well BEFORE you contacted this third-party Web site to post your misleading statements! Your posting is a trumped-up misrepresentation of what actually transpired. You categorize an employee's rude response to YOUR previous threats as "fraud," even AFTER we had already refunded your small payment. Rudeness has NOTHING to do with "fraud." You didn't lose a single penny to our company, but we LOST time and money dealing with your false claims. We didn't receive a single penny from you! You, sir, are simply a liar, and will easily be proven such. -------------- "If you persist further I will find every single Better Business Bureau like entity on-line and post my experience with your company." --------------
