YTB Lawsuit - Illegal Pyramid Scheme

By now, you may have read about the lawsuit against YTB. The State Of California has sued YTB, charging that the online travel business operates an illegal pyramid scheme and engages in deceptive business practices.



California Attorney General Jerry Brown stated that YourTravelBiz.com operates a gigantic pyramid scheme that has become very profitable to a few on the top, and a rip-off for the majority of the others! Brown charges unlawful business practices including deceptive claims that their YTB members can earn millions of dollars with the company, also selling an illegal travel discount program, and more.



Without commenting on the serious charges made against YTB, people can rest easy that all mlm travel companies do not operate in the same manner.



As a Certified Travel Agent with TraVerus Travel, I am happy to be involved in a company that is first, an actual brick and mortar travel agency. Our network marketing division came much later to take advantage of the ever growing internet business.



This is one of the main factors that sets TraVerus apart from all the others! So, it may be a good time to second guess involvement with YTB, and take another look at some of the others, like TraVerus Travel.
