Justification
Sometimes these posts write themselves…
We found Hail Mary Papers advertising on Youtube (which is subject to the same prohibition to academic fraud). Rather than a video, this series (4) of static ads focuses on the search term “homework.”
Like other sites, this essay mill throws up a few red flags:
Offers to help the “overworked” student, through cheating
Grammatical errors in the ad
The links to each webpage on the site do not function
They boast their ability to evade plagiarism detectors (while saving students from plagiarism hell?)
What’s sets Hail Mary Papers apart (aside from using the full name and phone number of the cheat-enabler… Dan, WTH!?) is the religious imagery in spite of offering a service in direct contradiction to religious practice.
Sorry, but I don’t think the creative Mary reference will save you this time.
