Please help me. tnx.

to jen dupalag,

don't be afraid coz legally speaking you are yet attached to them, you didn't sign personally any documents from them, if ever it cannot be push to the court of law if that freak company is truly illegal. TAKOT lang nila kabayan! so go on ignore them unless they prove that they are real..

To everybody who wishes to work as nanny or an aupair in any part of the world especially in UK, don't ever send money to the person you do not know.Most of the Host family offering job via net are liar...especially when they ask you to get in touch with any travel agencies and ask you to pay a certain amount.Please do guard yourself,be keen enough!!!trust your instinct.Don't trust anyone whom you do not know...They are all son of SATAN.NO Conscience!!DESPERATE in LIFE!!!

They are not a scam you guys are confusing the one in the UK with the one in Florida... the one in Florida is a legit business and gives you the ability to make good money... I know this because I'm a travel agent with them and i've earn a decent income from them. However, the one in the UK in not associated with the one in Florida.

I wanted to own my own online travel agency and get personal discounts on my own travel. Well GTI made several promises including that would a real travel agent ID card that could be used anywhere. Well that is not true. I got laughed and and one hotel GM told I was not a legal travel agent. In OK GTI must be registered with OK Securities Commission and approved before solicting to OK legal residents which I am. They are not registered and the authoritied in OK are looking at this. By law GTI is supposed to refund all money I have invested or paid. IATA states that GTI must pay all commissions in order to keep their status with IATA. As of today GTI has refused to pay commissions and refund any money. They have also taken more money from my checking account even though I cancelled and withdrew my authorization on 9-1-08. This is illegal to take money electronically from a US bank account. They only had my debit/ credit card not the actual account number. My bank is cooperating with me ... read more »

HELLO GUYS! i USED TO READ OR CHECKED WEBSITE RELATED TO THE JOB OFFERED TO ME. FROM AU PAIR NANNY AND OTHER JOBS FROM DIFFERENT PLACES UK, CANADA, U.S. ETC.. AND I FOUND OUT THAT MOST OF THEM ARE SCAM AND BIG LIE! DON'T AND NEVER SEND MONEY THROUGH WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM. IF YOU'RE IN DOUBT CHECKED IT FIRST OR SEARCH RELATED INFO OR BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY. THOSE BENEFITS OFFER ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. ONCE THEY REFER YOU TO A TRAVEL AGENCY. STOP! TRY TO CHECK UK EMBASSY, CANADIAN EMBASSY HOW TO GET/APPLY A TEMPORARY WORKING PERMIT. WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FROM YOU AND YOUR EMPLOYER IN ABLE TO APPROVE BY EMBASSY YOUR APPLICATION. HOPE THIS WILL HELP OTHERS. THANK YOU. GTI AND OTHER NUMEROUS TRAVEL AGENCY DOES NOT BEAR COMPLETE ADDRESS, TEL. NO. OF THEIR OFFICE IS A SCAM.

I was an independent travel agent with global travel international for a year. My experience was great. I had to stop for a while because of personal issues. I'm actually looking into joining GTI again.

Now, like everything else, something that's good for me might not be good for you.

I bought a Global “Platinum” membership two years ago, planning to use work primarily as a referral agent. Unfortunately, the home office at Global is terrible at customer service. It would often take weeks to get a solid answer when trying to design a trip for my customers and that was after multiple calls. Many of my customers who had been excited about coming to me, simply faded away.

I’m not sure if I would go as far as to say it was a scam. I was inexperienced at the time and didn’t know any better, however I will say it was a poor investment and I should have known better.

If you are interested in working the travel industry, either part or full time, I do recommend several weeks of research before you affiliate with any host agency.

Global Travle International is the agency that an employer in Uk ask me to contact them for my trip as a nanny. Help me to verify things.

thank you

Well, you have to be your own advocate and cancel when you don't need them anymore. I have gone on plenty of trips and saved thousands of dollars. I even booked a cruise at half price for me and my wife through global. Guess it has worked for us.

I was supposed to be a travel agent with global they never even told me when a credit card didn't go through and told me when it was over $500.00!!! I can't pay that lump sum, I trusted them and they lied to me! What can I do? I am very hurt.
