arty182925 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I think your proof language is set to some other then english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativeprose Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 It appears that the punctuation between is a little off; single instead of double spaced. There may be an issue with the language as another post had commented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattearly Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Thank you so much for your very quick responses.Do you think the reason for this is to stop plagiarism detection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativeprose Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Thank you so much for your very quick responses.Do you think the reason for this is to stop plagiarism detection?Depends. You could run it through Grammarly and see what gives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattearly Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Depends. You could run it through Grammarly and see what gives.If I put it through a plagiarism checker, it won’t recognise the words because there are spelling mistakes…So the only way is to rewrite the article in English… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativeprose Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 If I put it through a plagiarism checker, it won’t recognise the words because there are spelling mistakes…So the only way is to rewrite the article in English…I would have to have the copy and I could check it. It would then let me know what percentile the article may be plagiarized (if any). You may just be better off having it rewritten. You could ask for revisions if they offer it.

mattearly Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 I did it for the first paragraph, and it came back 40% unique… Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arty182925 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Try copy whole article into new word document and paste it as text only, see if there is any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offlinehelpers Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 If I put it through a plagiarism checker, it won’t recognise the words because there are spelling mistakes…So the only way is to rewrite the article in English…I think it may have been written with the addition of UTF characters - could be wrong of course.Plagiarism checkers see it as being unique content, but if you type the text into the same plagiarism checker, you’ll find it’s not unique.Any seller doing this (if that is indeed the case) should be reported.

creativeprose Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I tried to retype half of it in word and there aren’t any mistakes…It could be the editor the writer is using and like offlinehelpers said a UTF character issue.I wonder if it could be a linux editor?

offlinehelpers Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I’m not saying it is or isn’t but there has been software released which does exactly what I described to fool the search engines into thinking you’ve got original content.It’s being marketed as ‘buy this and make squillions on Fiverr’ amongst other things.Added - looks like I may have been right - sorry you go this.

eoinfinnegan Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 It’s completely plagiarized and they used UTF characters to cover their tracks.Contact support with the evidence - use this image or the link there but the image is better as they dont need to search the page for it.I suggest not contacting the seller in this instance as they are clearly plagiarizing and dont deserve a second chance.

emeraldawnn Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 What a pet peeve of mine. Please report this seller to CS as fraudulent. It appears they were using tricks to bypass plagiarism detectors.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arty182925 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 If he/she really did article in word then it wouldn’t be any (or just few) errors in it.Nice @eoinfinnegan for finding it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacine Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 It means that users are giving out plagiarised content as unique, because they are using UTF and other code to mask theft…Oh. I figured as much.The writing style is quite basic in any event… not really sure why one would want to plagiarize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
