This is an interesting take and one I hadn't thought of before. If we
assume that many of the smaller operations are run by only a few people
but the use of them is, as you suggest, endemic, would flyering not be a
good way to get direct access to students in a competitive market? In
the absence of access to lists of student email addresses.

Hi
May I venture a slight positive spin on this (apologies for being over
optimistic). Having worked in service sector, you tend to hand out
flyers when your business is in trouble or is new to market, and the
normal processes to getting new clients isn't working. Such an overt
recruiting process seems rather desperate for a service which is meant
to be endemic and infinitely more accessible on the internet.

Prohibition doesn't work.
It's almost tempting to offer a cheaper service, provide bespoke essays
then submit the original to TurnitinUK, so that when the copy is handed
in, there is conclusive evidence. A honey pot trap.
Unethical, of course, but it would undermine the copy shops, who from my
own research often plagiarise, rather than actually writing the essays.
I'd love a student taking these companies to court for fraud/breech of
contract.

P.S. I did once have a student who had submitted a bespoke essay and was
upset to find his cheating had been undermined by the essay bank
cheating him!
