Op Ways to Avoid Scams

The tips below will help yu to avoid giving your money to unscrupulous operators
1. Use a genuine UK or US Company.

UK companies are subject to UK law
UK companies can be sued in the UK courts
You have more comeback' against UK companies if anything goes wrong

Be careful. Many companies claim to be UK-based but aren't really, so we advise running a few checks to make sure you're really dealing with a UK company. Don't be fooled by easy tricks such as the use of co.uk' domains anyone can buy these.

Read the top 7 tricks' used by scam essay companies.

The Uni Tutor is a registered UK company and we are subject to UK Law and the jurisdiction of the UK courts.
2. Make sure they have a genuine UK landline telephone number answered by UK staff.

Anybody can get a UK landline number
These numbers can be diverted to anywhere in the world
Listen to the ring tone does it sound odd or international?
Ask them where they're based and ask them questions about their local area'

We are based in the UK. Please give us a call, we promise you won't hear any strange ring tones and your call will not be redirected to an international call center.
3. Ask them to promise (in writing) to deliver 2:1 standard the first time, on time, and with a plagiarism scan.

A genuine UK company won't mind that you insist on:

2.1 standard work the first time or a full refund
A comprehensive, accurate plagiarism scan
A solid plagiarism guarantee

After all, you're paying for custom work and, under UK consumer protection law, you are entitled to get what you pay for! Don't be surprised if they reject this request of offer an excuse. There are not many companies, either foreign or based in the UK, who are willing to give these guarantees.

All of our websites offer a guaranteed standard of work, a free comprehensive plagiarism scan and a plagiarism guarantee.
4. Check their credentials at Companies House (a UK government website).

Deal with a registered company they have to comply with certain legal requirements
Check they are listed at Companies House
Make sure their Company Number matches the name registered at Companies House
Make sure the Company is not listed as Dissolved' and does not have pending applications' (e.g. To be struck off/removed from the register)
Check their website complies with UK legal requirements (see Legal Requirements for UK Websites below)

Tip: If the website name is listed at Companies House but you run in to difficulties with the company at a later stage, you can download a lot of useful information about them from the Companies House website. This can include the names and addresses of the directors and company secretaries and costs a small fee, approximately £1.00 per document.

Our company name is Tut Essays Limited. Feel free to check us out at Companies House
5. Make sure they have a UK bank account.

It is very difficult for foreign companies to get UK bank accounts
Ask for their details: account name, sort code, account number and the name of the bank
Don't accept any excuses for them not giving you this information
Check the details are authentic you can make a small deposit into their bank account (this only needs to be a few pence) and ask them to confirm what the amount was

Remember, don't accept any excuses for them not giving you this information as it is extremely difficult for you to misuse it. Companies have little reason to refuse to hand it over.
6. Consider their prices are they realistic?

Be aware that companies exist to make a profit, so question whether their prices are realistic
UK companies must pay many expenses: staff, advertising, premises, utilities, business rates, tax, VAT and much more
It is unlikely a company could be profitable if it paid its writers more than 30% of the total price

Ask yourself, would you complete the work for 30% of the price the website is charging? Would a professional writer? If the answer is no, then you should be on your guard, if the prices look too good to be true then they probably are (unfortunately).

Our prices are realistic because we use qualified professionals. You can see our recruitment policy here.
7. Look for genuine UK press coverage.

Check for press coverage on the newspaper's or TV channel's website make sure it's genuine
If reporters have visited the company's offices, you'll know (at least) that it exists
If reporters have ordered from the website and received good work, this is an indication that you'll also receive good work

Press coverage isn't a guarantee that a website is UK-based or genuine, just as lack of press coverage doesn't mean the website will scam you. Positive press coverage is a sign that the company is likely to be genuine and likely to deliver on their promises.

You can view coverage of The Uni Tutor dating back to our formation in 2003 in our press section.
8. Read the website carefully. Check for typos and odd expressions!

Foreign websites are often full of sloppy mistakes spelling/grammar errors
Read the website carefully or (if English isn't your first language) get someone to check it for you
If the website is full of mistakes, it's likely that the work they send out will be, too

Our sites are constantly checked and modified by our qualified Quality Team although do let us know if you spot any errors.

And that's it! We can't guarantee that if you follow these 8 steps, the website you use will give you what they promise as there are a small number of dishonest companies operating in the UK and these are much harder to spot. What we can guarantee, however, is that if you follow these 8 steps, you'll be able to identify 99.9% of foreign, dishonest, scam companies, which will save you time, money, and upset.

Do not trust these people, I can copy e-mails in where they refuse to refund me then threaten to contact my university because they failed to deliver the agreed words in timeframe. Type this company into a google search and review on these services and you'll see 1.8 out of possible 10.

The logos on their page are not accredited by these companies I contacted them and they had no idea they where being used.

I only wish to stop others suffering the ordeal I have at the hands of these people.
