This guy Jacob is a total scam artist! BWJ Travel otherwise known as Travel Agent Institute just screwed me out of 97.00 claiming to the entire group he would need that money for insurance in case we made a mistake at work. DO NOT GIVE HIM A RED CENT. Total scam artist claims we can make millions and get 80 percent commission. Total lie!!!

I only gave a 4 star rating because even with the presentation seminars, a lot of information was left out. I prefer transparency. I have worked for agencies that were commission only. Mr. Jacob should have said this is a commission only position in his ad on indeed. This is NOT A SCAM, But a chance to make a difference in someone's life. I'm not getting paid to say this, but this is a life changing opportunity for the serious entrepreneur that want to be their own boss. I can see myself making 170,000 my first year. Its not going to fall in my lap so I'm going to put in the work to build out my business. Thank you Mr. Jacob for this life changing opportunity.

An individual named Jacob with a hiring manager named Emily sent me an email to attend a webinar today. During this webinar they proceeded to tell the people that were attending that everyone was guaranteed a full-time or part-time position with very high earning potential. After about an hour and 10 minutes of time had passed. Jacob explained before everything ended and training could begin everyone must first go to a link that he posted in the webinar which guide you to an insurance company which is also owned by them. In this website in order to get the insurance you are required to pay $97 a month in perpetuity. This is the make sure that if you make a mistake that the insurance will pay for it with the customers. I knew this was a red flag 5 minutes into the presentation. Jacob is sitting in front of a green board with a beautiful ocean picture behind him. I noticed the water never moved. I'm hopeful that this kind of stuff will get shut down because there were many people in that webinar that jumped right at his beckoning with their credit card to pay for that insurance if anyone's reading this dispute it with your credit card company and do not use your debit card whatsoever.

In 2024, I was searching for part-time jobs on ZipRecruiter. I found that HappytoGo was hiring for booking services, with no experience required. I responded and was directed to a Meet and Greet Zoom meeting with Edwin Sarkisian, Chief of Operations, minutes later to establish a meeting time. I attended the meeting and found that I was suddenly linked to BWJ Travel, also known as Book with Jacob, with no mention of HappytoGo. During the meeting, I inquired about the status of HappytoGo, but received no response from Edwin — my first red flag. There were about 200 people in the Zoom meeting. About half of the participants dropped out during the meeting. I knew that all host agencies charge an upfront fee for training, suppliers, a support team, and the use of their license. So, it was no surprise that BWJ offered a monthly or annual membership. I did not sign the IC agreement right away. I wanted to read it first, and so did my attorney. Since BWJ offered leads/clients to people who passed The Travel Academy, I started training at my own pace. I was certified and began accepting leads. During one prerecorded training session, Jacob, Edwin's brother, mentioned that BWJ pays for their leads, and they are expensive. That was a second red flag. I encountered many leads who did not appear to be legitimate, would-be clients. Was BWJ paying leads to act as clients? After six months of my devoted attention and resources, I decided to leave BWJ with absolutely no bookings. Both Jacob and Edwin are very convincing and claim to have been in the travel industry for 30 years. They are both in their mid-thirties. BWJ has only had an LLC for three years and is not accredited with the BBB. The training is excellent, and their support team is also very good. It is a family-run business. However, you should expect to bring in your clients. BWJ claims to have a commission split of 80/20%, which is more than most hosting agencies. But the question remains, will you ever get a booking? Based on my determination and attentiveness to clients' wishes over the past six months, I am inclined to doubt whether you'll achieve anything. I have a lengthy and successful career in many areas: your decision, and your choice. BWJ Travel has multiple locations, and the HappytoGo site has been set up. You may want to correspond with BWJ at 1731 W. Glendoaks Blvd., Glendale, CA 91201, their last known address.

It is all a scam. I contacted the BBB and reported them. I was r scammed by Jacob, who represents "BJW Travel." which I didn't find out the company name until later. He claimed that travel consultants could earn 80% commissions, income of $170,000 after 4 weeks you get a bonus of like 35%. I paid $97 fee for a “travel consultant certification.” scored 92% because you have to score at least 90% This was a scam. do not upload any personal information The emails cannot be responded to. if you paid the money contact your bank and try to get it back and also get a new card because I think he tries to take the $97 every month.

It's all a scam, I didn't fall for it. As soon as he asked for $97 to be paid without an official offer letter, I ended the call immediately. People were paying, wish I had spoken up and stopped them.

Their ads are misleading. Paid the $97 for the so called E & O policy, went through all the training videos, no emails followed for me to continue on. I sent email after email, all I get back is "auto generated" emails stating to check spam or junk folders. Nothing ever came. I have reported them to my bank, supposedly they are going to refund the $97, guess we'll see. They haven't done anything else they promised.

This whole experience with this company is a complete scam. Jacob, you are an evil person directing people to pay the $97 fee for a Fake, Fraudulent training videos and EO insurance. Everything you are doing is a complete Lie. Add my name to the growing list of people that have woken up to your Scam operation!
