Should I Claim My Money Through Paypal?

[shakeelm922]

First of all I accept my mistake, I used the wrong way.

Actually, I am doing job and studying as well. I had to submit my assignment but i was quite busy. so i decided to take help from online (websites use to solve the assignment).

I ordered to a website with a fake name, i paid a good amount to them through Paypal with my real name and said it is my friend's account.

The website receptionist said, we have expert for every subject, you will get 80% plus marks. But when i received solved assignment, it was totally garbage, i could not get even 30% with that. i asked to revised again and again but nothing, they sent same copy.

I need your suggestion, is there any benefit to claim my money through Paypal, can they inform to my university to blackmail me. please keep in mind:

- i used fake name for order
- It is not a product it is what ... i don't know which category will be it

Thanks

Sadly you cannot claim through Paypal as they are the payment channel rather like a bank. Instead you need to complain to the company by sending an email explaining that the work was inadequate and not up to standard. Ask for a refund on the fee you paid by paypal.

I'm sure they don't know which university you attend and have no reason to upset a paying customer like you. After all, they rely on students to buy their products so everyone will be doing the same. I doubt very much they will refund anything but it is worth a try. Good luck with it and with your studies.

did you actually submit it? if not, i can't see how you can claim it is faulty

well you can try to get your money back but Paypal won't be interested. I'd be very careful using such websites. Even if what they send you would get an 80% mark, you have no guarantee that you are the only person in your Uni that they have sent it to and Uni's do notice when the identical paper is turned in by more than one student. Penalties for such cheating vary but are usually harsh, even up to expulsion.

I agree with woofgang - plagiarism or using example sites is severely frowned on, and the universities use sophisticated monitoring devices to assess similarity in submissions these days.

You can try contacting paypal but you have complicated the matter yourself by lying about your real name.

It sounds, sadly, as if you've been scammed. These sites take advantage of people looking for help - your personal tutor at the university would have been a much better place to ask for help.

If it's Literature you're studying, you might find this quote apposite :-

"Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive"

Sir Walter Scott, Scottish author & novelist (1771 - 1832)

It occurs to me that, even if we take your version at face value, a company could easily say that anyone can claim their product was not up to scratch and demand a refund. With a piece of writing it is subjective, and as black cat points out, we don't even know if your opinion was proved correct.

I think you may be on a 'sticky wicket' here. I may be wrong but I suspect you best course of action might be to review them, let folks know they do not supply quality in your opinion. Of course you'd probably have to do that without making it clear who you are and being identified as cheating.

You can try demanding you money back, see what happens. But you may be stuck writing it off as the cost of a lesson well learnt.

I'm not usually so harsh but it serves you right for trying to cheat. You should have asked for an extension and explained your predicament to your tutor.
