Description

I attended an online zoom session a few weeks ago about a travel agent opportunity. It was a group call. At the end of the call, the host, edwin, asked us to sign up for their program and pay a fee for it. I typed in the chat that i was unable to pay the fee at the time and i wanted to see whether i could pay it in the future, but he did not respond. I made the decision yesterday to enroll into the travel agent program for $49 monthly. However, i have done some research after reading some reviews about the company. The address provided by the company is 1731 W Glenoaks Blvd Unit 202 Glendale CA 91201. I googled it and amd the svh company was listed at this address. When i called the number for this company, a lady answered. I explained that i just purchased a subscription with bwj travel agency and i wanted to see if they were affiliated with bwj travel. The lady would not provide me with a clear answer. She kept insisting that i contact them for further information. I advised that bwj company has the same address as svh and she did not provide a clear or definite response. She said that they have the same address and suite but they are located on the second floor. I believe that bwj is a scam. I did another zoom call today under the pretense that it would be a one on one session but it was a group session. The host, edwin, addressed each of us by our names but i still don't trust it. Also, edwin looks like he is the jacob person. It is unfortunate that i had fallen for this but i want others to know so that they dont fall victim to it. I invested in this because i want another stream of income and a career, not another job.
