Description

I was applying to a few jobs on LinkedIn. I never applied to a place called bwjagents, so I believe they're using either another company name or a middle man to offer interviews. I applied to Elev8 events for a role of a Travel Agent. Linkedin here: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3901894246/?refId=72a22627-c3de-449a-b1fc-977efe30f3f2&trackingId=loV0PRWXQ1q8%2FxHz2RqfBg%3D%3D This is their website: https://elev8eventsco.com/ This elev8 seems to claim 697 Hilltop St, Springfield, MA 01128 as their address, but online it looks like its a dental place. So this is a lie. Their only review is a spam review of 1 person who gave it 5 stars. So Edwin and the figurehead of bwj, Jacob, seem to be using Elev8 to hide themselves. They seem to be brothers. Jacob Sark and Edwin didn't put his last name anywhere but however DID put S. as the last initial. These two are the people running the scam. Jacob is the figure head, and Edwin as the one "hosting" the pre recorded webinar. On that note, when I went to what I thought was an interview, it was a pre recorded webinar. They gave a sales pitch of what they thought would hook people, and then asked for payments either monthly or yearly via subscription to get access to their CRM, support, and supposedly help booking things. They promised 80% commission with each order. Their Yelp page here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/bwj-travel-glendale seems to have someone mentioning only getting a refund after a review, and that they had received legal threats to SUE based off a review. All in all, they're using a fake business to get people to apply to their cause, to make them pay either a monthly sub of about 40-50 dollars OR yearly 30 per month (360 payment upfront). During the webinar, they gave no actual guarantees, no products, no solid data like who they work with, no airplanes, etc. All in all, they're using a front. I did NOT consent for my email and PERSONAL details to go to bwj from elev8. Also, researching more into Jacob Sark, https://www.facebook.com/TheSharkofRealEstate/about he has a FB page and other business as a real estate agent, listing the same address as the bwj agents listing. More Damning evidence. They take people's pictures to use as fake "agents" they've had work for them. They've stolen people's pictures online for their agents and reviews, changing their names: someone they call Katelyn from (Manhattan, NY) is actually from an autistic support website: https://reframingautism.org.au/service/i-am-autistic/ Another they call Jeffery is from a horoscope(?) website. https://vekkesind.com/how-to-make-a-scorpio-man-jealous/ Another one, they call Anaya, is for a glasses company from the city of Nassau, and I found the photo on FB: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=770049431798907&set=pb.100063815700244.-2207520000&type=3&locale=fy_NL ALL IN ALL They're scamming people out of their money, using fake photos to seem legit, using a fake front business to have people get hired, offer different """plans""" for people to pay and get scammed with, and threaten legal action against ANYONE who posts bad reviews about them, warning of the scam they're pulling. I hope this helps, and I hope they get rid of my information. Thank you for reading, best of luck to you, and get these scamming jerks for me, please. <333 [3:32 PM] i felt like you'd appreciate my research rage [3:33 PM] BWJ Agents Address Line 1: 1731 W.
