ETA: As a follow up, they are now trying to say that my review isn't real unless I provide more information. This is information that doesn't exist (Never received a reference number while APPLYING FOR A JOB), and information that I am not comfortable giving out. Intimidation tactics don't look good on anyone.
I applied for a position on LinkedIn that has *literally* nothing to do with travel. I received an odd reply yesterday via email to the effect of "that position has been filled, but we have this other one we want to talk to you about" from their founder Jacob. I ended up in a zoom meeting with a bunch of other people only to find out it was for a different company (BWJ Travel) and it was to be a travel agent. I listened to his idiotic sales pitch for just a couple minutes and wondered how anyone could fall for such obvious lies before I looked up the company name and I found this page. I sent him the link to it in the zoom meeting chat and asked if it was a scam to see if he would respond. He did not. I left. They already took the job listing down, or I would report them for a phishing scam. FRAUD!

Scam?
I’m a little confused. I was really excited. And I ended up paying the 60$ even though I felt something wasn’t right. But after some research I feel like I might have been scammed? I’m really sad. I’m newly disabled and trying to get back on my feet while completing my masters degree. Their website doesn’t have a lot of info, which seems strange to me. Not a lot of transparency. I wish it were easier to trust businesses. I’ve been interviewed and offered fake jobs before, so I am skeptical.
Response from BWJ Travel, LLCJan 12, 2025
Hi Anya, thank you for your feedback and welcome to the team. Many of the poor reviews you're reading are from individuals who are not associated with our company nor are they even agents with us. As you've just registered with us, please ensure you schedule your "Meet & Greet" Call Orientation with me, which should likely be on Monday or Tuesday.
On that call I go over everything you have access to as a new travel agent with us, which includes your Portal, Trainings, Support, Community, and Leads that we give to our agents to begin servicing and earning commission. It is upsetting that we have spam reviews from third-parties but understandable as this industry is infested with many companies who participate in MLM recruitment and networking schemes. We absolutely do not, and this will be made evident to you on our call soon!

FRAUDULENT MISLEADING GROUP
Fraud. No job offer. No salary.
Misleading job interview is a sales pitch for a $60 a month membership they push you to pay, immediately.
Predatory, multiple named companies and should not be allowed to operate this way.
Preying on jobseekers money.

Watch out for scams
I wanted to write a review so that search bots are able to find more of the aliases this company works under. I was contacted by this company under the name "Star Streams, LLC" or "Star Stream Travel" (a star gazing tour group based in CO) and "Backbone Business Solutions" (a business consultancy in San Francisco). The players were Jacob (founder, son of founder) and Marcus (co-founder, nephew of founder). In their training webinars, they both flash a building owned by SVH Tours and Travel Services. All contact information for the zoom meeting hosts direct you to BWJ. Know ahead of time that no company will ever ask you to pay an initial deposit of $59 for licensing before 1) speaking with you directly, 2) running a credit search on you, 3) onboarding you fully. I see no evidence that after paying the $59 leads are generated for the numbers they quote in theirs sales pitch. Beware!

Dishonest Hiring Practices
I am fulfilling a cease and desist request issued by BWJ Travel, LLC, to clarify my points of negative review. Clarification has been provided by BWJ Travel, LLC in the reply to the original message. However, I now leave the following as my changed legally factual review, taken in-part from correspondence sent by myself to the legal representation of BWJ Travel, LLC being Francesco Picone, Esq:
BWJ Agents, LLC is a buissness and using deceptive tactics to flood job boards for a common scam. These include the submitting of an email which claims that your resume was rejected, but it has been considered for another position that is "higher" in the company. A scheduled meeting is then held that is presented like it is an interview. Then, it ends up being either a recorded video, or in this case a web presentation.
After the Web Presentation is held, without any input from the number of persons who followed the email, the bait and switch is to then announce that you will be charged for a package associated with the
fees, licensing, certifications, and more associated with the specific field. It is deceptive, but not inherently illegal.
However, during the Web Presentation that was supposed to be an interview, "Jacob" went on and on for over 1 hour about the "amazing things" that the company has to offer. He also claimed to have been in business for over 30 years under this company, which can not be verified through public records. Further, If I am recalling correctly, he at one point claimed that he inherited the business from his father.
Since BWJ Travel, LLC is actually "Book(ing) with Jacob", am I to presume that Mr. Jacob Sr. was the original company holder? The company has only existed for two years. He also explicitly stated that this was not an MLM which appears to possibly be a lie. I do not know on this respect, as this tactic is highly characteristic of the MLM hustlers.
At the end of this presentation, originally expected to be an interview, Mr. Salk then did the bait and switch to expose that his dupes were to pay a monthly subscription of $59.99 that was never ending (and from public reviews of the company, non-cancel-able and non-refundable.) Mr. Salk referred to this alternatively as both the fee for "Insurance" that was required to work as a Travel Agent, and "Certification" for the position. The link, as expected, was to a subpage of their own operating website. And as expected, Mr. Salk refused to allow me to speak, ask any speak, and deliberately avoided
me over the next 24 hours.
I have no personal vendetta nor desire for revenge to this entity or its persons. It is completely irrelevant to me. I am a young man, and a sufferer of PTSD, who has been exploited in the past by a number of employers including in recent months. I was acting upon an urge to fulfill my civil duty in both giving a tip to the relevant authorities and to be a town crier to warn the public forum. It appears that in my
warning, a misconstrument of facts derived from deliberately withheld information which created a distorted reality of the situation, which I still hold as negative and valid, and still worthy of investigation by
the relevant authorities.
I previously mistook an entity known as "Sterling Consulting Firm, LLC" as the same entity because this was an MLM that was employing the same tactics simultaneously and I had applied to multiple jobs through the same job board website, LinkedIn.

Dear Dustin,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. I want to assure you that BWJ Travel operates with complete transparency, integrity, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. I take the issues you’ve raised very seriously and would like to address them directly.
The monthly fee you mentioned is not a hidden cost or deceptive practice. It is a necessary component of our program that covers several key elements:
Certification: A program that equips our agents with the tools and knowledge to book the clients and leads we provide.
Licensing: Registration under our IATA accreditation, which allows agents to operate as licensed travel professionals.
Insurance: Coverage through our Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance, protecting agents from potential mistakes during bookings or client interactions.
Our process is designed to provide agents with the tools and resources to succeed, and we are always open to clarifying any questions or concerns. I understand that skepticism can arise, especially in today’s environment, and that’s why I’ve sent you an email inviting you to connect with me directly. I’d like to discuss your concerns in detail, answer any questions, and provide full transparency about how we operate.
I must also emphasize that making false accusations, such as labeling BWJ Travel as fraudulent without substantiating evidence, is a serious matter. Defamatory statements not only harm our reputation but can also mislead others who might benefit from the genuine opportunities we provide. I urge you to review the email I’ve sent and take this opportunity to discuss any concerns with me directly.
BWJ Travel is committed to building a supportive, legitimate, and thriving community for our agents. I hope we can have a productive conversation to address your concerns and provide clarity.
Best Regards,
Edwin S.

This is a scam - do not fall for it
This is a scam targeting people that want to work from home. I’ve worked for a travel agency for years and have never been required to pay a monthly fee to be “licensed”. And the license is through them, which in itself is really weird. Typically when you are in a position where you have to be licensed, the license is not granted through the company.
Not to mention, they send the same email to everyone - you’ll get an email from them saying that they have “filled the role you applied for, but they have an EVEN BETTER role that they think you would be a great fit for”. This is your make you feel special and suck you in to their BS. They’ll send you a link to schedule an “interview”, but it’s not at interview- it’s a virtual webinar that is over an hour long. There’s no one-on-one contact with the person leading it, and he immediately “hires” everyone in the webinar. Hell ramble for an hour and then try to get you to pay $59 for the “license”.
Don’t fall for this.
