Description

I found BWJ Travel on indeed.com. I went on a virtual meeting and "Jacob" from "BWJ Travel - Book with Jacob Travel" talked and hired every single one of us. Red flag. Then he told us we all had to pay $99.00 in case we made a mistake and that would cover all travel arrangements for the mistakes made and the customer could still travel. Red flag. Then we were told we had to take some training and were asked to pay. Red flag. I took the training, paid and passed. Flying colors passed. Jacob said "Edwin" would contact us. That never happened. Red flag. I found out later that Jacob works out of Canada so he can't get caught but they use a California address and phone. The guy now runs a business "on line business" through Craig's list and that is a scam too. Red flag. I saw it in many larger cities and mid sized cities all over the country, and I keep red flagging them as it's all a scam. At least for now he quit but who knows what the guy will do next. He's a scammer and makes money and screws people who are looking for on line jobs. It's all fake and lies.
