Now that the suit by Jerry Brown, Attorney General of California is a memory and a “win” for YTB, I wonder if it really had any impact on YTB and the way they recruit? If you recall, one of the issues was the false and deceptive advertising employed by the field to seal the deal and get another TSO signed up.

St. Louis, Mo., July 30, 2009 – As the national convention opens this week for YourTravelBiz.com (YTB), the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is warning consumers to be cautious when dealing with the troubled online travel company. The company has been the focus of more than 140 complaints and reports to the BBB in the past 36 months, many of those from consumers who say they were misled by exaggerated promises from the Wood River, Ill.-based company.

June 8th, 2009

Wow–not even three days after the settlement was to take effect, and the Reps are back at it. How long till YTB is hauled back in court for contempt? Here is just a sample of the continued recruiting and combining of the “2″ businesses and false claims. And this is only on Craigslist and only in a few of the major areas of California. I wonder what you find if you dig a little deeper?

I wonder if Jerry will mention this the next time he is at one of the “Opportunity Meetings”
