<p>Has happened to me twice. I'm getting really paranoid and worried about it. I'm scared they're goign to use my essay as their own and then I'm not going to get accepted anywhere because it'll be like I plagarized my essay from somebody. Has this happened to any of you? What did you do about it? What should I do? Please help!</p>
<p>Here is a thread for posters volunteering to read essays. Make sure to go to end of list for most recent to make sure they are still active and willing. Also, check their posts to make sure they are legit.</p>

<p>I would not select a newer member.</p>
<p>I hope I was able to clear that up for you, rastogr! I apologize for the misunderstanding.</p>
<p>Brownford - The 2 people I mentioned here are actually other memebers, not you, because I wasn’t sure I had actually even sent the message to you. But thanks and sorry if I seemed a little rude to you in that first PM!</p>
<p>Yea I try to chose junior members and check all of their posts and threads to make sure they are legitimate. If I see that they have asked questions about their own essay or work of the like, or that they have read many (I mean MANY) essays I send it as they won’t be the ones to plagiarize if they already have work of there own.</p>

Have you reached out to these individuals? Did they advise when they would get back to you? They may have other pending issues and have not been able to respond. However, in the event you have tried to reach out to them to no avail and they continue to post, by all means give the heads up to others.</p>

<p>Have someone who knows you well review your essays, they should be able to pick that essay off the ground and explicitly say “that’s rastogr”.</p>
<p>Good luck to you!</p>
