Homework Help Online: How To Detect Fraud

When you are stuck with your homework, it seems like the best idea to find help. For most students, or rather for just about everyone, the path of least resistance is the one on the tips of your fingers.

Click-click: The Internet!

While homework help sites abound on the Internet, some even suggested by the schools and textbook publishers (another source of income!), you have to be careful with your choice of homework helpers. To avoid fraud, here are a few stinkers that should ring alarm bells:

1. No or little contact information:

An agency claiming to be a big homework helper should have more than an email address and one lousy phone number! Check the company’s physical address, email addresses of the staff, and the list of phone numbers provided. As a rule of thumb, the less contact information there is, the more likely it is to be a fraud!

2. Payment Method and Security:

Do not give away your credit card details until you have read everything on the website. Yes, even the almost illegible fine print! You do not want to open a pipeline of funds to a service you hardly use. It will be a white fraud, as these people will have their exploitative terms translated into legalese and have you click the “accept” button!

3. No customer reviews:

Very few scammers will make the mistake of not including reviews on their website, but you can smell fraud if the reviews seem to be similar to each other. A better indicator of fraud is the absence of a live chat feature and a forum where you can speak to others. Stay away from these companies. It is a stinker!

4. How many times are you asked to pay?

Are they asking for a one-time fee for unlimited access to the site, or a monthly fee? Both are ok as long as they are related to the duration of your ongoing work is taken into account. Do not commit to an AUTOMATIC monthly subscription for 12 or more months unless you are absolutely sure about the agency.

Do not forget to ask around about the company you are considering for homework help. An online homework helper that delivers will have raving clients. Your colleagues, classmates, and friends remain your best source of protection against becoming a victim of Internet fraud and frauds.
