Warning writers! Write Right may Be a Scam
So I had a super strange interaction with a person on LinkedIn. He claimed to be Bhavik Sarkhedi, an author of three books and the owner of the website Write Right. At first, he said he was a new writer and asked me to help him check his Google results. Okay, I guess. No problem.
Then, a long time later, he sent me this message:
If he’s a new writer, then why is he looking to hire writers? Curious, I took a look at the application.
Oop. Red flag. Usually when a person wants you to write a sample article they keep it and don’t pay you.
Whoa! Hold up! They want you to find spelling mistakes on their website? First, there shouldn’t be any mistakes. Second, it sounds like they’re trying to get free proofreading. Yikes!
Oh, so it gets even better! They want you to help them with their SEO, too. So, essentially, they are asking for a lot of free stuff. Okay. I decided to ask this guy about Right Write and see what he had to say. His replies are just as baffling as the application.
Yah, uhh, no
I ended up blocking him and reporting him to LinkedIn. If you run across this guy or a freelance writing ad for Write Right, run. By the way, I tried finding Write Right, but I didn’t come up with a site other than a essay writing service site. As you probably know, essay writing doesn’t have anything to do with SEO writing. Ironically, it’s basically writing an essay for a student so they don’t have to. It looks like Mr. Sarkhedi may have wanted writers to do his site’s content and SEO for him, but he just didn’t want to pay.
