Description
I was told that I had gotten the job as Travel Agent with *** Travel and that I had to pay for *** Insurance through the Travel Agent Institute. I was sent a link and went to the site to pay for the insurance. I never heard anything further on a job from them just that I passed the certification and that I now had the *** Insurance and that I would have to continue to pay $97 a month to keep the insurance valid in order to work. Within 30 days I sent in writing via email stating that I wanted to cancel all before a 2nd payment would be taken from my account. I was sent responses from them stating that they couldn't cancel. Once I threatened them to contact authorities they finally cancelled but not before they took a 2nd payment. Now I see all these things stating that this is in fact a scam. I requested that they refund my money and they refuse just state that they will cancel all.
