Stratos and all the members of staff including the academics in this company are fraudsters. Stratos conned me into paying for services he knew they could not deliver. I asked him repeatedly if they offer the services I wanted, to which he kept reassuring me that they do.

After he had contacted me that they could not deliver the services "due to it's specific nature", he promised to refund my money within 3-5 working days.

Since then, he had been ignoring my messages and even threatening that contacing their academics does not make any difeerence. This means they are all fraudulent. I have called their company repeatedly too to no avail.

People should stay clear of Stratos and the PhD Consultancy. They are pack of fraudulent people. I wished I had read the review on Stratos and this company before contacting them.

Stratos at the first discussing over phone or email and its the PhD consultancy website wrote very good fake and lie promise to customers student and including me, but once they collect your money like £10-£1000, then they ignore you, and he not responding he not writing anything for you , after weeks of being disappointed he give you a list of jumbled of words which of nothing to do my thesis and then block me and ignored , and I don't know who to complain and ask for my money back maybe take legal action . What the PhD consultancy have written on their website about quality of writing essay or proposal are all lie, believe me it's lie, if you ask for the academic info or detail to contact he say the academic doesn't like to contact or expose their detail, very funny I pay to them but have not right to see anyone to complain or ask for my refund or get my proposed work, they lying and ignorance because they feel student or international student don't know about uk law and how to take legal action so they take advantage and steal my money and for sure many other student,!!!! but in their policy and website the student or customer have right to ask for.!!!

And stratos or mirabell don't care about my or your time line for submiting essay or dissertation or proposal , and at the end you losing a lot money with submission your deadline. So if you see their policy they can write you any rubish essay or proposal and say that is their decision and they cannot refund you even if they agreed time of Collection of my money or your , the PhD consultancy only acting in their own favour to get money from you afterward they don't care at all.

So please , please guys student or whoever do not trust the PhD consultancy and mr Straos or their staff , because you losing your money and 100% for sure your deadline of submission of your essay or dissertation or proposal and your all money with time of your life and you get stress. They are fake and ignorance, and a unique fraud-stare, I wished I could read the other people review and not to contact The PhD Consultancy website and Mr Stratos Malmatinas , he put some fake and attractive advertisement on website and his photos with a lady, but believe me you will wasting your money, and your academic quality and your life time then only regret and grief remain for you, do not contact him and write your own assignment or refer your own academic advisor but not this people.

Thieves

I came to the phd consoltuncy because i needed help with my proposal, I paid them a lot of money and they promised many things on their website, that they have academics from cambridge and oxford. but they are lying, their writers are not english speaking.

I spoke with the manager Stratos Malamatinas he was very nice until I paid the money. Then he stopped answering my emails and I never received what I ordered.

I try to call them and they have fake phone number. I am telling this so other students can not make my same mistake. Thank you and god bless.

These guys are scam artists. Stratos took my money and then stopped responding to my emails. The whole company is a fraud, all the people who work there have fake names "mirabelle summerthaw" "rose meadow". I called the company and i think they have a fake office. They also have a fake office in oxford they say it is 52 cornmarket street oxford ox1 3hj'. Also they say they have writers who have phd from cambridge and oxford but they are oviously lying. They stole my money and i am warning other customers about this.

Company Response

The following is a reply from The PhD Consultancy Limited:

This review, like the other similar ones on this site, has been posted by a professional scammer, based in Pakistan, who has repeatedly posted fake reviews on our company and then emailed us to ask for money to remove these reviews.

We receive such a request at least once per week on average.

Invariably, such messages are received from India or Pakistan and post anonymously, with no reference number and no specificities of any order placed with the consultancy.

We do not have any record of an order such as the one above and we have a clear alterations policy for any client who is dissatisfied with our work: namely, the completion of an Alterations Form and then, if the client remains unsatisfied with the revised version, a refund.

On verifiable, trusted review sites, such as Google and TrustPilot, The PhD Consultancy has a 5* rating.

As ever, we are always happy to introduce new clients to old clients, to provide free samples of our work, to arrange free introductory Skype calls with your professor and to meet you face to face at our London office.

Contact

Hello,

I have the same situation. How can I contact you. Let's organize a meeting to solve that problem. They stole my money also I do not know what to do, but I think that if we will work together and send reports to police, it might work. Please leave your contact details.

We have just recently been scammed by this individual Oliver who has other names including Stratos Malamatinas.

We have proof of paying 1200 Pounds in order to provide consulting in preparing package of application. Even got my proposal ready and letter prepared and needed only to be revised, but he still chose the fraud.

Regarding his comment about the non existing Oxford office, just visit the link: http://www.thephdconsultancy.com/contact-us/our-offices/, where they state the oxford office address, still up on the web. Have a screen shot if they wd change it after my note here.

Too many lies got him confused :-)

He says since 2006, but the The Phd Consultancy Ltd, was incorporated on 27th of August 2013

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08663726/filing-history

I have contacted the academics, I once talked to and she promised to help to make truth come out about his company and Oliver/Stratos.

Probably there is a way to contact the Chamber of Commerce or similar body for Fraud and have the companies activity suspended.

It is unacceptable to have such fraudulent companies, person still working, ripping off people.

Reported to the UK police, and the consume protection

Hello,

Dear students. I want to warn you about that fraud company - thephdconsultancy. Please be aware that i had an experience of working with that company. That company is a fake!!! believe me, that they are not going to perform any of the promised element from their so called "contract". I have paid to that company £1500 - but that was a biggest mistake that i have made. They are not replying to my phone calls, to my messages on whatsapp with that person calling himself "oliver malborough" - he is a cheater. I do not know even is his real name or not, but i can confirm that he is a liar with required correspondences if somebody doubts about it. I think there is a fraud chain of those company with oxbridgeessays, because after i have made a payment, i got message on my phone about transaction to account of oxbridgeessays. Don't believe to reviews that is written here, because i think they are all paid reviews. Also their website, with page on facebook they are just trying to attract people, i am not even sure that they have an office in somewhere. Please be aware that there is no chance to refund your money from uk, as i tried to do that by complaining to a few authorities in uk, but it seems that in uk all the companies protected against intervention from abroad, and they can just easily manipulate with people. Here i will live my phone number if somebody wants to talk, about evidences confirming their fraud activity i have all of them. Don't let them to cheat you,as they did that with me.

Oliver is Scammer

I used Oliver’s service, I paid him and when I kept asking for my package after 2 months, he started evading my calls. He won’t reply you, he won’t pick your calls. One time I called the phone number and when they picked up, the told me that it’s just a call center. I’ve just reported him to the met police and filed a claim. Please don’t use them. The office doesn’t exist. He uses a UK#. I’ve also given his account information I paid the money into to the police. Don’t be stupid like I’ve been. He’s a real criminal. You can also report him to the met police

Stratos the fraudster

This company is FAKE. They will take your money and stop responding to you. The company is currently under investigation.

I hope the authorities catch up to them soon and refund us all our money (£3,500 for me) - or hopefully Stratos gets 25 to life.

Don't use them. They are scammers

They pray on students from non-English-speaking countries and never deliver. Their so called academics are also fake and you will never see or hear one because these guys work as middle men. Once they take your mony, they will be gone and you won't be able to reach them by phone or chat.
