Description

I was scammed $97 from a fraudulent ad posted on CL last week & have identified a similar as running now from the same poster. Poster ID 7836220102. The ad is from BWJ Travel Agency LLC from founder Jacob Sark. https://bwjagents.com . They are a sister company of SVH Travel. https://svhtravel.com who have been in business over 15 years. The "bait & switch" disceptive ad is that they offer the job as a $40+/hr Data Entry position plus fully paid benefits when the truth is the job is to be a travel agent for BWJ Travel as an independent contractor. He builds up everyone's I I tetest stating they have over 100,000 clients they can't handle so they need new travel agents to process the travel requests. He stated that the average 1st year earning is $190,000 and over $250,000 by year 3. He stated that everyone on the call is hired & no need for 1-on-one interviews. In order to officially get on board however requires a $97 fee...which he says is Error & Commissions insurance....to cover mistakes that might get made so the agent is not liable for the discrepancy. I looked on Reddit & him and his partner Edwin have been recruiting "Agents," this way for almost a year now attempting to receive everyone on each call and get charged $97 which the credit card payment is charged by BWJ Travel. Then in training it turns out you have to pay for your own marketing/advertising i.e. Facebook, Instagram ads etc. I hope you shut down these disceptive ads before he steals these fees & fraudulently hires for a position that is not as presented in the CL ad.
