Harrisco: A Predatory
Company
In brief I was hired by
Harrisco (a South Korean company) to edit science and medical articles that
were written by Asian professionals, mostly South Koreans. The English was
rough and needed intense editing. A plentiful number of papers were downloaded
to me. I did not receive any criticism from them while the editing process
moved forward. After editing 67 journal articles I requested payment. The
friendly interaction from them now turned dark. I became the worst editor on
the planet for merely asking for payment due. I will not harp on the negativity
aimed at me only to state they had no intention of paying me. If I had done a
net search of this predatory company dozens of complaints, similar to mine,
would have been discovered. Harrisco seeks English editors, advertises on
Craigslist and other sites, snares them with promises and even a limited
contract then cuts you down when you request your money. After multiple negative
exchanges and the threat that I would inform the South Korean embassy, not far
from my home, they relented and paid me a partial payment. Harrisco continues
to owe me for 13 files. Harrisco has a minor profile on LinkedIn. I never met
dishonorable South Koreans until I fell into the clutches of these misfits. Advice:
stay away from this company because it is not worth the headache, the effort and
or lack of compensation that goes with this job.
