Description
The scammers email you from a “hiring manager” to offer a job interview. You select an interview slot. When you join the interview its with other people (some real, some obviously fake to make the interview seem more legit) then at the end they say you need to pay $97 to get the travel agent license and you must do the training in your free time. They then demand confirmation numbers. Ive found others on reddit who have also been targeted. The interview is with Jacob (Founder) supposedly the founder of the company. The hiring manager’s name is Emily. They don't give last names and keep their company name relatively secretive as well.
