NAA, or Need an Article is a writing service that has been around for nearly a decade, if not acutally a decade and over the years it has provided stable income for many. The problems we've been experiencing recently have been a direct result of Scott hiring a woman named Robbi who tends to make many false claims, for example, she claimed to have done web design for Paypal and IBM, both of which were clearly lies to pad her resume. We're not even going to get into her anti-gay stance that is amusing at best, annoying at worst.
It is well known that Robbi has been taking orders at 5 cents a word for her own personal clients and outsourcing them to NAA writers at 1 cent per word, and to make it even more interesting, even though she keeps all of this money, there seems to be none left to pay the writers at the end of the week. Don't worry, I'm not just spouting claims; I have screenshots that absolutely prove it. Each week for at least the last six months, Scott, the owner of the company has been sending a message out stating that payments are being staggered or missed entirely, because for some reason the bank accounts are empty.
I'm not a terribly smart person but let me see if I can deduce how this works:
1. The client orders work
2. The client pays for work
3. The writer writes the work
4. The writer gets paid, and there is money for that payment because the client paid.
So what's happening between steps 3 and 4? Where is the money going? Why isn't there any to pay the writers? Why is Scott able to pay his mortgage while the freelance writers he employs go hungry? What's really going on on here? Now I know Scott is going to respond here with some bs excuse, stating he cares about his writers and that he'd do anything for the, blah blah blah, but let's face it Scott, if you gave more than half a crap about your writers you'd be paying them instead of doing whatever it is you're doing with the money. Are you paying your mortgage? Are you buying electronics for your house? Are you paying for sex? Come on Scott, give us a clue here, tell the writers why you don't think they're worth being paid when you clearly have, or had the money. If you're such a good businessman, then where the HELL is the cash you're making?
