Description

It started with a post on Craigslist looking for people with no experience that wanted to work a vague job. You're given a time and date to join an interview, with no survey or resume asked of. The "interview" is a prerecorded man named Jacob (no last name) and a hiring manager Emily (no last name) in the chat helping the multiple interviewees. It's an hour and a half of Jacob talking about how he values his consultants and how you will work as a travel agency consultant. You are then given a link from Emily to pay for an E&O subscription and supposed to put the number you're given in the chat. You are called by a lady to validate the transfer and emailed a link to start online training. The training is five modules of AI generated videos about how to be a travel consultant. There is no company name given for any of this, and I did not finish the training but I assume nothing comes after it.
