Lazy university students are forking out hundreds of dollars to assignment cheating companies, lured by the promise of "plagiarism-free" work.
The Saturday Herald Sun can reveal that universities are injecting resources to crack down on contract cheating, as data shows a rise in students at some institutions paying for assignments in the past year.
They are also warning that students face being blackmailed by the companies, who extort them for higher fees by threatening to dob them in for cheating.
