AND THE TRAVEL
SCAMS JUST KEEP ON COMIN'
"Travel
with us! Earn 100% of the commission. Enjoy FREE upgrades to First
Class."
The emails
clogging your inbox are identical. If the return address is to be
believed, they were sent from Russia and Slovakia. The web site they
refer you to is registered to a nonexistent address that purports
to be in city of "CA", in the state of "CA" even
though the zip code begins with "1" (not "9" as
California zip codes do) and has six digits instead of five. The Administrative
Contact has a Chinese email address and the web site’s servers
appear to be located in China as well.
Are we getting
suspicious yet?
Those of you
who have my home study course would not be fooled by this kind of
come-on, because you have the tools you need to analyze and investigate
ANY host agency offer.
Unfortunately,
not everyone has armed themselves with the knowledge of how the home-based
travel business REALLY works and they are at risk of falling victim
to this sort of scam. Even worse, they could very easily get the idea
that the whole home-based travel revolution is a scam and never realize
that thousands of honest, professional, hard-working people are making
very good money indeed by serving the travel needs of their friends
and neighbors.
Succeeding
in the home-based travel business is a matter of learning to work
smarter than the rest and taking the "road less taken."
The surest way to disappointment is thinking that you will be doing
just what the storefront agency down on Main Street does. In fact,
the real success stories in the home-based travel scene are those
people who are doing what the storefront agencies DON’T do, what
they CAN’T do.
Still there
are those who think that they can get it all – instant income,
free benefits, industry credibility – all handed to them on a
silver platter for the payment of one "small" fee.
The moral
to the story is: Get smart or get taken.
If you are
seriously (and I do mean SERIOUSLY) considering becoming a bona fide,
professional home-based travel agent, do yourself a favor and read
the article titled "How To Succeed As A Home-Based Travel Agent."
It reveals the most important fact you absolutely MUST grasp if you
are to be successful in this business. You can find the article at:
