The writingcreek.com website is used for scamming. They pretend they are hiring Freelance writers who can work remotely for them. They ask you for your vital documents including passport, driving license, academic documents, cellphone numbers, etc.
Immediately you send those documents, they block you from accessing their website. I suspect they later use the documents elsewhere for scamming.Also, whenever you call them, you get to speak to a different agent who feigns ignorance. They have a HR by the name Camilla who does the emailing. When you call and demand you want to talk to her, they say they do not have a HR by that name. I really feel awful that they scammed me. I sent them all my documents including passport and US Visa.
They use these numbers: +1(302)467-1992, +1(844)294-7887.
Please ring them and stop them.
I did some research as your initial claims were a bit dubious and it felt like you were personally burned by these guys.
I found that they used to go by freelancewriting.biz
Trustpilot reviews seem to match up with what you are saying with other people making similar claims to your statements.
The first thing I suggest is that you contact the relevant agencies if appliacble to handle the potential ID theft you could have to deal with in future.
Thank you for the response. How can they be stopped? I am sure unsuspecting people are still sending their data
Here’s another development. I’ve just realized that the Writingcreek.com scammers are also the owners of Edubirdie.com
The answer is they can’t really. If it can be proven the sites are scamming, which will be hard, there is nobody to really enforce it.
Hence why groups like this exist, for some community payback.
Where did you find that edubirdie is owned by the same people?
Hello, if you look on Writercreeks’s website you’ll find that they’re owned by I3 Technology LTD, if you look up I3 (there are multiple but it’s the one based in Bulgaria) they also own Edubirdie. I found nothing that suggests that Edubirdie is a scamming Organisation, unlike Writerscreek it seems legitimate - this may suggest that I3 is using Edubirdie to make themselves look legitimate? Not sure, just a theory.

Perhaps. I’m not sure - I will look into this in a minute

Welcome to the community! I’d love to look further into this as well.
Welcome to the community, @AlvinGeorgeHill54181.
(844)294-7887 is disconnected. I tried from several different area codes.
(302) 467-1992 a female answered when I called at 4:30 PM, EST. I obviously woke her up. I asked if they were hiring freelance journalists. She told me they never hire any freelance journalists, only employees of their company and they have no offices or interest in the US.
I explained that I’ve been doing investigative journalism for several years and much of my work has been used in well-recognized and major publications. She said, again, we never use freelance or independent journalists.
She probably knew you know much about them. On their website they’ve indicated they hire content writers, which I came to realize is academic assignment help for college and university students. Three issues arise: 1. that they are stealing people’s data in pretense of hiring writers 2. even if it is true they are hiring content writers, helping students write their assignments is academic cheating. 3. If someone is willing to help them write complete assignments for students, why would they ask for personal data and fail to hire him/her?
Not the same as a scam
What about stealing people’s ID ?Is that not scam?
There is no concrete evidence that suggests that they’ve actually done anything with the ID’s that they’ve supposedly taken.
Why are they phishing peoples ID? Do you think their victim would be able to automatically or immediately realize what they have done with his/her ID or what they are intending to do with it? I’ve done my due diligence. I honestly don’t think all the negative reviews/comments I’ve come across are fallacious or anything to be ignored.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Most job applications require some amount of personal information for an applicant to be considered.
