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.
