I agree, Leif. As a PhD student myself, who has been involved in mentoring younger students, I realise how tempting these services are.
I followed the link, which is to a nicely-designed website. Any native English speaker, however, would spot things like this: "Supposing to pay for completing homework? In this way, you have chosen to pay somebody for assignment writing. Reasons of your choice may be distinctive. Yes, advantages of such administrations appear glaringly evident like after..."
The trouble is, some students struggle in UK universities because English is not their first language. Others... just struggle, for a variety of reasons.
Though it is made abundantly clear to them, some students think they won't be caught cheating. That's what it is, and there are rigorous checks in place. It is treated as "plagiarism" - i.e. passing someone else's work off as your own. (I notice the website above has the cheek to offer a "plagiarism check".)
Those caught risk getting zero marks for the assignment, or even expelled from the course, the college or the university.
But the fact that these essay-writing services exist means they are making money.
What is even more regrettable is that there are well-qualified (but probably poor) people who are prepared to write the essays.
