The company’s founder, Yingying Dou, has taken a direct swipe at Sydney Morning Herald journalists Amy McNeilage and Lisa Visentin, who originally reported on the company, which offered a paid essay ghostwriting service aimed at international students.
Early Friday morning, the MyMaster website was pulled completely, being replaced by a blank page that simply states “Go To Hell, Amy And Lisa.“
Not exactly the most diplomatic of responses, but it certainly gets the point across.
MyMaster is alleged to have distributed somewhere in the vicinity of 900 fraudulent essays in Universities across Australia, with each essay taking in up to $1000 each.
