Scammer has victims believe they will be investing in travel agent opportunity with issuing of fictitious credentials, for carrying out business with supposed clients. The payment information is collected and stored, so that the charge is bimonthly.

This company put a job posting on craigslist for (Scheduling Assistant – $120K-$140K/SALARY–Full-Time Remote w/ Benefits) they did a zoom interview that asked for $97.00/ month to be certified to work. I should have done more research before paying. The job sounded way to good to be true.

They contact you by Email, then do a zoom call with about 200 people. Then they tell you about their company and mission. Then they tell you about insurerence for your protection, if you make a mistake a type with potential clients. And tell you are insured up to a million dollar if you mess up. THe cost for it was 97 dollars. I made the mistake of falling for it. Then after a while of emails. they will ask you to verify your identity, due to my fault I gave them my ID. Then that's where I stopped at, and reported to my credit card and all places for possible identify fraud. Watch out, linkend doesn't do a good job in vetting these companies so remember to check of these companies or websites are legit, by checking the BBB.org for info.

It was a job ad for remote work with no experience necessary. The interview is a zoom call and their were many others in the call with me. They claim to be a travel agency that needs travel agents, trying to hire you as the agent. Promising many clients and reminding you of limited spots and time sensitive opportunity. At the end "for your safety" they ask for a certification fee for insurance in case you make an error. So many people signed up for it. Now he has a new job ad for "Virtual Admin" basically the same remote work with no experience bull. His name is Jacob and karma will find a way someday.

Craigslist Travel Agency Job scam. Lists $45+per/hr bonus for data entry. they list every day in the admin/office job listing. There’s an Apply Now button that sends you to scheduling site call calendly. Jacob (Founder) is listed as the host. You can choose 10am or 3pm Pacific Time. You open Zoom and there are probably 300+ on the call. He spews these stories about how much he makes, shows a quick image of SVH Travel owned by his father. He makes up a story about a lady wanting to work til she retires but gets fired instead. Talks about Giving Travel Bookings ALL their money back during Covid, he says peoples names ALOT so that you think he’s being personal. Jacob is blabbing on for over an hour, then he says you need to click a link to sign up for Certification/Insurance to work for them. THAT ISNT REQUIRED ANYWHERE TO BE A TRAVEL AGENT LET ALONE DATA ENTRY! DO NOT FALL FOR IT! SVH IS A SCAM AND SO IS BWJ. I have reported them to the FBI, Glendale Police, CA AG, and will be submitting more information to local newspapers in the So Cal Area to light a fire under their [censored].

Acts likes like they want to hire Travel Consultants and proceeds to give B.S. information backing it up until they say you need to be certified for 97$.

So, I found this online job on Indeed. It was for entry-level data entry. A few days later, I got an email from "NextGen Growth" from a guy named Mark. In this email, he said something along the lines of "Dear (My name) Unfortunately the position you applied for has been filled, but after our team looked over your resume, we'd like to invite you to an interview and offer you a higher level position with our company" I went to this interview, which was over zoom. This Zoom call had over 300 people, no one was allowed to unmute the mic (which I didn't think was weird with that many people) and the Zoom chat system was only direct message. He was explaining the company's background, history, and his co-worker's performances. He then eventually got to what the job was, we'd be working with BWJ Travel Agency as a Travel Consultant. Then he explained that this agency is ONLY for rich people, for example, only people who pay 20,000 and up. Whoever we were assigned to help plan their vacation for them, we would get a percentage of whatever their total budget was. And that since this company only took specific clients, we'd get no less than 3000 dollars per person we help, but it's not one day and done, one person could take up to a week. Anyways, toward the end of the meeting, he said "The only downside is you have to be a certified travel agent to work this job" which I thought was weird because it said no experience was required and they had specifically chosen me based off my resume FOR this job, but I didn't question it. He said there was the right way to do it, which was months and months of schooling, or the easy way, which was to go online and simply buy one. Now, this is where I thought it was weird. He sent a link into the Zoom chat to go to this "buy certificate" which was 97$. When someone asked how it would be valid, he said "Since I (Mark the Co-Founder) Have over 10 years of experience, I will co-sign my name next to yours like I'm taking you under my wing, which I am. You'll have 4 months until you get a performance review and if you pass you'll go to 500$ renewal for your certificate yearly instead of 97$ monthly." Me being 19 and never having done any online job before, I fell for it. I got my username and passcode for the employee website. They never asked me for any information other than a picture of the front and back of my ID. No tax forms or employment paperwork or anything like that. I just immediately started the "lessons" that were telling me I was going to be making my own company. That's what got me because this whole thing was about working for THEIR company, helping THEIR clients, not doing my own and starting my own business. That was when I decided to check the ScamPulse.com and a hours of online research from people saying they also got scammed, their money got stolen, the 97$ was a MONTHLY subscription that the website didn't have any options to cancel and they would keep re-charging their bank even after the disputes. However, I then received an email saying that there would be ANOTHER zoom call or orientation. Which if I'm not mistaken, IS EXACTLY WHAT THE FIRST ZOOM WAS. Mark did NOT interview anyone, he didn't ask anyone any questions. He said he would hire everyone who stayed on the call and then fire as time went on because he is all about your results, not who you are. Im not sure how to get my money back, I'm not sure if my identity is safe, and I sure know I DID NOT get paid or did anything for my payment for any of the lessons/trainings I did. Please, do not fall for this. Another name they use is BookingWithJacob. and LLC Travel Agency.

A MLM SCAM.

This 'person', Mark or Jacob, cant remember right now to be honest, sent out what appears to have been a massive template in an email to hundreds of people, luring them to attend a meeting for a position that sounds all too good to be true. I'll be honest, after recently losing my job, i was interested, and all that I had to do to start was attend a webinar.

All the right things were said, and up to before where I fell short to identify the largest red flag of them all, 'paying for a certificate to get started as a "Travel Agent". To me, most lines of business have some kind of certification or something that MAY have to be paid for, but this is all new to me, so I ignored any signs that I now, looking back, clearly missed.

On Reddit, there are lots of posts about this company being illegitimate, scamming people for money, taking it and never actually seeing the fruits of any labor happening as there doesn't appear to be a way to actually receive the kinds of commissions that sound oh so rewarding at the time.

In this webinar:

-You are in a room with (from what I've read, and experienced) 80-200 people.

-You cannot do anything but chat privately with the 'Presenter'. Audio is muted to everyone except him and you can't even talk to him during the meeting.

Some people have stated that they have witnessed what appeared to be pre recorded webinars that were played during their time.

-You are fed the idea that you can make a good amount of money, taking 80% commission (company gets 20%) of each booked client. Making about $500 from a single person, and on larger bookings (in the $10K and up range), making about $2-3K.

And then just as you get into the end of the webinar:

You come to realize this is a new MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) or PYRAMID SCHEME/SCAM!

-You are told to either do a M2M payment on your 'certification', sadly I fell for this thinking 'start small' and mistakenly made a $97 charge...

The worst is (albeit the presenter isnt adament about this option right away), you can do the annual payment of 4 or $500... and be good for the year.

The reason I am posting this is because the company ISNT EVEN LISTED ON BBB. Biggest and easiest red flag I didnt even check.

I hope you all avoid this company, and I hope that any damages done by this individual has him paying out all the people he has robbed.

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.

I watched a presentation over zoom from this guy, he was offering this great job at his travel agency. He asked us to pay $97 for insurance, which will protect me from mistakes made during scheduling people's bookings. I fell for it and paid. I'm not sure yet if it is a scam, but I don't feel good about it. This company is called BWJ travel with confidence, and supposedly they are out of California.

The job is advertised on Craigslist Los Angeles as “part time data entry work from home” for $40/hr. When you click to apply it will take you to Calendly to schedule a zoom interview. Once you are in the zoom, there were about 200 people on call. Everyone is muted, you can’t unmute yourself and cameras are on. You can’t chat to people either. This guy Jacob jumps on a call and starts describing the job. After a few stories later, the job is actually a travel agent who works on commission and it’s sounds too good because he says minimum you can make off of a simple booking is $3000, and max is something like $200000. So then he proceeds to say that you need an insurance to protect yourself if you make a mistake while booking. And it cost $97 a month. And he wants people to buy it now and everyone will be hired. Absolutely crazy. Who does that? So basically he scams you into getting a $97 from you monthly. His website doesn’t have any info except training when you signed up. I called SVH and they were like, we don’t deal with that, you need to talk to Jacob. I knew it was fishy. Vic Sarkisian owns SVH and it exist, Jacob and Edwin are his sons.

Post on Craigslist for a remote part time or full time job with no experience required. Was invited to a Zoom meeting where over 200 people joined. Story for 1.5 hour where the host said it was a family business for over 30 years which isn't the case. Said we needed to purchase E& O insurance for $97 as a condition of employment.

This is a scam. This person (Jacob) wasted two hours of my time in a group online interview for what turned out to be a shady scam. He claims to run a travel site & is hiring everyone in the interview. To be able to work for his "agency" he charges $97 a month for "insurance" to be able to start the position. It's a disgusting money grab & he's preying on desperate job seekers. What he's doing is illegal. He has numerous posts on Craigslist. Please address this! Have a lovely day.

I was contacted through email about a job interview with a company called BWJ travel. I hopped on a zoom group job interview with this company. After the interview was done they said they needed $97.00 for errors and emissions insurance. I paid the money with my debit card. I was supposed to have a zoom call with them today 2/25/2025 but I'm cancelling because they're scammers. When I looked up the company name BWJ out of Glendale, California on the Better Business Bureau it says the company doesn't exist. Do not give them any money its a fake job offer.

*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.

As done by others, add was placed on Craigslist for working remotely at home doing data entry. Received email to do a zoom interview, which ended up being a group meeting about becoming a travel agent and setting up accounts for work through suppliers. Tried calling the phone number to ask a question about the destination they "assigned" me to, which was never mentioned during the zoom meeting or in training. and I got hung up on several times. That made me suspicious. Now to get rid of all of it.

I honestly was really trying to find a job so I overlooked all the red flags. First I got an email from Mirage Maps Travel stating how I didn’t qualify for one position but they wanted to interview me for another one they had available. Signed up for a zoom call on Calendly. I attended and this guy named Mark went on this whole rant about everything we needed to know and even gave false information saying the company was made by his uncle but then you see two other founders Jacob and Edwin. He was late to the interview for starters. He then proceeded to explain how his “license” could co-signed onto ours by working for the company so we didn’t have to attend schooling or any of that. We only had to complete job entry training. We had to confirm we paid $97.00 with a five digit ID number that we sent back into the zoom so he can confirm and set up our accounts already. No actual “interview” just jump right into it. For someone who really needed a job it sounded great until I realized it was too good to be true, I ended up looking up the business and tried to verify the information, all false.

I do not have to go over the scam journey as another person has perfectly described the incident. They first send me an email under the company name Elite Business Trips Co. it contains an invitation for a webinar. I then realize the actual company name is BWJ ( Book With Jacob). During the zoom session I am surprised that the voices of maybe over a hundred people are muted and only the co-founder speaks. It may have been a prerecorded session I am not certain. I am quite surprised at the smoothness of the hiring process. They didn’t even take a chance to get to know me or ask me questions about my work history. In plain words, there was no prior evaluation to determine if I really was a good fit for the position. As other people have already reported, the initial email tells me that the position I applied for has already been filled but upon reviewing my resume they decide I could thrive in another job they have available. Sound familiar ? Anyways, I end up paying a monthly fee of 97$ which was initially presented as some sort of booking certification. It then morphed into insurance expenses. Now bear with me here, how could this be ? I sent two consecutive subscription cancellation requests and I am waiting for a response. I will post updates here. To job seekers out there reading this post, as someone said, keep your eyes peeled, you never know what’s lurking in the shadows.
