Description

*One of 2 Craigslist Ads "HIRING! Data Entry - Work From Home | $97k Pay + Bonuses/Benefits (District of Columbia)" and "HIRING! Customer Service - Work From Home | $127k Pay + Bonuses (District of Columbia)" posted online. Once replied, you set up a Calendly meeting. It's a Zoom call that had over 100 people. Jacob talks for about an hour, about himself, the company, the data entry and customer service (i.e. travel agent) positions. States how there's only 100 or so left & they'll be gone in 2 days. He talks about scheduling, having help, and really stresses company culture and how good theirs is so much better than others.  *Anyway, after 75 mins or so, he states how there is ONE THING we need to do before we get started. We need to be certified for insurance. He drops a link to a pay page and we're expected to fork over $97/mo, at this point. On 2-20-2025. I ask why this can't come from the first commission check and he states "its separate from that." He starts to thank his marks for giving over their money. Then, I ask (in the zoom chat where he is the only one allowed to see)  What is the name of the company? He ignores this remark. We're all muted and can't talk to him (or each other) directly.  *On the pay page, I see  ([email protected]). When I search for it, I find the website showing  (2024 BWJ Travel, LLC). I search that name and a few scams come up. When I show the SCAM sign in the group chat, I am immediately removed from the zoom meeting.
