I know a few classmates who extensively used such services when I was in college. None of them have a professional job today. They like to complain about how hard they worked in college only to be land on jobs they could have had without college. Would you hire a programmer who can't tell the difference between a class and object or a English Language Grad who is not sure whether Charles Dickens preceded Shakespeare. By the way, it is just as easy to get programming assignments done online for a small chunk of change.
You can only get so far with cheating. Eventually, you pay the price.
I say, let them cheat. Eventually they would join the ranks of unemployed degree holders.
