    Academic fraud? why do you say that. I have not done this before but I am sure there may be other options besides doing assignments for students.

    I was approached by such a company about a year ago - it seems like a 'friend' had recommended me. Supposedly, this company required writers who had research experience and could write about a variety of topics. It all sounded very tempting until it dawned on me that I would be writing student essays for them.

    It's simply cheating - no more, no less. I declined their offer.

    No, the fraud (if there is any) is committed by the student who misuses the resulting essay. If they simply use it to study the style of essay written by somebody older and more experienced than themselves then there is nothing wrong.

    Obviously there is a fine line but this is just as true with material found on the internet or in a library.

    To copy from one is plagiarism, to copy from many is research!

    Similarly, it is perfectly legal to sell a baseball bat. The crime comes if the buyer beats somebody over the head with it!

    Actually, to copy from many is still plagiarism. Anything that is "copied" should be properly referenced and cited.

    Thanks Pont. I approached a couple of online companies and found out that is exactly what they do most of thetime
