Just when you think that there are no new ideas for a business here comes one.
Students (and, it should be noted, reporters) with a deadline hanging over their head have a deviously brilliant new delaying tactic.
Paying someone to write the paper for you would be clearly dishonorable, but Corrupted-files.com is offering a simpler solution that doesn’t involve plagiarism. The site sells a corrupted Microsoft Word file that can be emailed to the teacher after being renamed something appropriate like “Jones-Final-Paper-Rev-34.doc.”
As the file is corrupted, it will either not open at all or be filled with gibberish. But since files do get corrupted from time to time, it can be passed off as an unfortunate – and unavoidable – technical error.
The longer the grading takes, the longer it will take the professor to discover the mangled data and the more extra time the student (or reporter) gets to polish the real version. The Internet gets the blame.
Corrupted-files.com is also much cheaper than the paper mills that can demand hundreds of dollars for pages filled with legitimate exegesis of, say, the symbolism of that green light from The Great Gatsby. The corrupted file only costs $3.95 through the end of June. Added advantage over pre-written papers: Sending a corrupted file probably won’t get you expelled.
