Description

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.
