I was in my final semester of my Master's, working full time, dealing with a family emergency, and my dissertation was due in 8 weeks. I had maybe 5 pages written. I was having panic attacks daily. The pressure was literally crushing me. 
In a moment of complete desperation at 2am, I Googled "buy dissertation online" and found a site that looked professional. Good reviews. Sample chapters that seemed legit. A sales person who called me "sweetie" and guaranteed I'd get a distinction. I paid them $2,800. Yes, really. Two thousand eight hundred dollars. Money I definitely did not have.
What arrived 6 weeks later was... a crime against academia. The introduction was about a completely different topic than the conclusion. The methodology section described interviews that apparently happened in a country I've never visited. The citations were to books that don't exist. One chapter was literally just a Wikipedia article with the words slightly rearranged. I'm not exaggerating. I checked.
I had 2 weeks until submission. Two weeks to write an entire dissertation. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. I couldn't stop crying. My partner thought I was having a breakdown (accurate).
Here's the positive ending though—I somehow did it. I locked myself in the library. I wrote 12-14 hours a day. I survived on energy drinks and sheer terror. My advisor was confused by my sudden productivity but supportive. I submitted with hours to spare. Passed with merit. I still don't know how.
Now I'm doing a PhD and my current research is on... academic integrity and contract cheating. The irony is not lost on me. If you're thinking about buying a dissertation, please please please don't. Find other help. Talk to your advisor. Ask for extensions. Do literally anything else. This path leads to tears and empty bank accounts.
