I read a column today about how Craigslist is a hotbed for drug trafficking and prostitution. I also know that it is a hotbed for MLM agents to market their business--either travel or selling the opportunity.
I mean after all, why spend money to advertise?
I also have noticed a LOT of MLM firms selling on eBay. Again, either the opportunity or the travel itself. For those not familiar, eBay has always recognized there is an inherent risk in allowing unqualified people to sell travel on eBay and has required a special certification through Square Trade in order to do so. This certification requires a valid IATAN number, as well as a few other items such as a business checking account, physical address, and business telephone number listings.
Well, it looks like Square Trade is weeding out the agents that have signed up under an IATAN number that is no longer valid. Please see the following message from Square Trade:
We ran a report of all Travel Seal members and their corresponding IATAN numbers against the IATAN numbers which were recently revoked for YTB and Inteletravel, the reported returned a total of 25 accounts, of those 25 accounts, only 12 were found in approved status.
I have cancelled the 12 approved accounts and associated notes with the remaining 13 accounts indicating that they are not to be reactivated under the same IATAN #.
Have a nice Thanksgiving.
