Complaint Review: My Travel Job - Nationwide

This young person knocks on our door. Very nice looking person, I might add. She was selling this cleaner, said she was filling reorders in our neighborhood. She explained that she had some extra time an was asking if any new costomers was interested. I politely told her I couldnt afford $65.00 a quart of the fancy cleaner. I'll stck to my .99 Windex. Oh my she lost her s**t after that. She then insults me for wasting her time, which was all of 12 minutes. She says Jesus loves me and I should grow a pair and take it deep. Wow, I thought, young people, but maybe I just didn't hear her right. Ok, I went on with my day.

My wife and I raise our three grandchildren. We have since the oldest was 9. Now in 2014, the oldest is 22. The youngest being 18. We carefully watch and encourage them to do the right thing, we lost both of their parents in a car crash, drunk driver.

On 1/18/2014 our eldest grandchild answered an ad at: www.mytraveljob.com He was contacted within 3 hours. A man named John Nelson called our home. Spoke to me very nicely, he sounded like a friend of the family. When our grandson got on the phone he was told to go into the other room where they could talk. I wish I had listened on the other line. After 35 minutes on the phone our grandson comes to us and says he got a job traveling around the country selling cleaner. I ask immedatily if it was door to door. He said yes, I wondered if this is the same company that knocked on our door in the past. We sat with him for 3 hours trying to talk him out of it. The more we tried the more he wanted to go. He was of age to do as he pleased, we didnt have to like it, so we supported it.

After 2 weeks he didnt call home anymore. When we called the company to ask for a phone number, they told us we could leave a message, we couldnt get a phone number of where he was. He called home after 5 weeks gone. He sounded terriable, he asked if we could send him some money. I ask what he needed money for if he was working? He said he hadnt sold anything for 3 days and he didnt get paid if he didnt sel anything. His training period was over. I almost cried when I heard the desperation in his voice. We told him we would send him $50. thru Walmart but he needed to tell us where hes staying and a phone number of the hotel he was staying in. He said he had to ask if he could, then hung up. Two weeks past, then he calls his brother asks him if he can come work with him? He said he would get a hiring bonus if he came to work with him. His brother agreed to go with him, for the sole purpose of getting back our grandson.

On 3/20/2014 we send our other grandson into the depths of Hell to gather up his brother. I had sewn a GPS tracking device into his backpack. I wasn't losing another grandchild. We considered following him, but we couldnt afford to do that. the GPS took most of our savings. After 3 days on a bus he gets to Grand Junction, CO. He is met by the same man that talked to our eldest grandson, John Nelson. He was put up into a hotel with 30 other young adults. They were sleeping 4 people in a room. Our grandson asked where his brother was? He was told he was on another crew in Texas. They might be able to meet up if he caught onto the job. He immedatily called me. I told him I'm contacting the local police.

The police were of no action. They explained to me, this John Nelson is a local resident. He runs a door to door cleaner crew and a door to door magazine crew. He said that he now runs a door to door engery selling crew. He explained they don't like him or him crews when they are in town, the local crime rate raises everytime. Everything from auto burglary to rape. they are BAD news. He explained to me the FBI has been investigating him for human traffiking. Then gave me this information: www.parentwatch.org www.magcrew.com www.travelingsalescrews.info I couldn't believe my ears. We are in big trouble. I called the hotel in Grand Junction, I spoke to the manager of the hotel. He said he was a good friend of John Nelson, he never had a problem with him. But the crew he employs is another story. He said they have the police come thru the hotel and arrest people off the crew all the time for warrants and drug use.

The next morning my grandson says he's not interested in working away from his brother. He said if he couldn't work with his brother he wanted to go home. That's when he was told he had to go to work because the company paid for his bus ticket. If not they would call the police and charge him with theft. So he got into a van an literally sped off to work. My grandson said they didn't drive less then 20 miles over the spped limit everywhere they went.

That night when he came back to the hotel, they told him his room was broken into and all of his belonging were gone. He said he wanted to quit, that's when things got bad for him. They told him there isn't a bus that leaves that late at night from Grand Junction, he had to wait until the morning. They told him since he was quitting he had to wait in the hotel lobby until morning. At 4:30am my grandson was outside smoking a cigarette when this John Nelson pulls up to the hotel. He tells my grandson he is a p****, nothing like his brother. Said his brother left our p**** family to be rich, and he was there just to side track him. My grandson told him he just wanted to go home, contact the FBI an ask if they can help him find his brother. That's when this John Nelson man grabbed my grandson and threw him into his truck. He then punched him in the face several times. Told him to stay on the floor of his truck. He would take him to his brother. He drove him to Denver CO. They went to the Super 8 motel on federal ave. This is where our grandchildren found one another.

I drove to the hotel the next day, 18 hours. all the time thinking I'm going into the depths of Hell. When I arrive at the hotel, I can't believe my eyes. I was propositioned by a prostitute in the lobby. I went to my grandson room. There I was greeted by a man named Boris. He said he was the companies security, I wasn't invited so I must leave. I told him I wasn't leaving without my grandchildren. He punched me in the chest and told me to moove on grandpa before I give you a heart attack. I thought he had, I was no match for this man. I left and called the police.

When I returned with the police, they had no problem showing me the room with my grandchildren. They weren't there. Boris informed the police they had packed their bags and quit their jobs. I went to the bus station, the airport, and the train station. No boys! I stayed in Denver for 3 days looking for them. I ran out of money and had to return home. 3 weeks later i get a phone call. It's my grandson, he's telling me his little brother OD on some meth and he's in the hospital. He said they were leaving town because this would hurt their sales. The newspapers were going to be calling asking a bunch of questions. Not to tell them anything.

They pronouced my grandchild dead at 11:23am 4/21/2014. No one is charged with his murder. I don't understand, when they left, they were so hardcore against drugs. They lost their parents to drugs and alcohol, this John Nelson is a brainwasher, a very bad man. Talked two of our wonderful grandchildren into coming with him, then killed one of them.

We are still looking for our eldest grandchild. He calls late at night, drunk. Saying how sorry he is for his brothers death. How he's going to be a boss someday and be rich. Tells me to mind my own business, he's with his family now. Then he told me to take it deep.
