I am extremely shocked with these recommendations provided forum members! And that is why I believe there should not be any recommendation to be trusted from forum anyone them, they are your competition. I am disgusted by such diversion and I have noticed that specially in this forum.
I have seen them saying write your own personal statement when they know that the member is asking for help! How is that logical! Many residency applicants need professional help and that's why they need an editor. You are just hoping this member screws up their letter so you may succeed.
drbacchi if contacting the programs by phone "might be false depending on the person" then what is your magical way to get that information, do you think the posted number for the program is contacting the program's janitor?! You call the number listed on ACGME and that number is the coordinators number, HELLO! You can add a second layer of protection by CONFIRMING you are talking tot he COORDINATOR not the janitor.
If I would to use any website from buying computer accessories to buying services, I would ask them these questions BY PHONE (they must have a phone number):
1. Where are you located (physical office)
2. Do you welcome people to visit your office
3. How long have your site been in business? http://who.godaddy.com/
4. Check if their sites is private (proxy) and where their information is hidden from you, this can help you find our which websites are hidden from you.. http://who.godaddy.com/
5. Are they real MEMBERS of the BBB.
Of course you want to ask them specific questions related to their service.
For those who you are diverting people from doing well for themselves, rest assured that bad Karma is awaiting you. You will find this out at the end of the Match season.
