This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

This Jennifer Welch will place many different adds on CraigsList - She poses as a travel agent that has been rewarded with travel vouchers (that supposely includes Air Tickets and 2 nights for 2 persons) for her good work. She sells them for $200 and tell you to send an e-mail to a website to activate. The activation cost $65 - you never get a tel# to call and response is poor. When you finally get an answer by this e-mail address, they ask you to fill out a form with your destination and schedule for your 2 nights. You are told then that only $250 will be compensated toward the ticket and you need to pay $150/per person for another processing fee. When you get the Ticket proposal is about $600 (of which you are only covered $250). That same ticket you can get at regular price of $200-300 in any airline.
So, $200 for the voucher + $65 for 1st processing fee +another $300 (per person) for air ticket + $150 (per person) for hotel processing = almost $1200 - you can go on your own almost any where for 1/2 of that.
In addition, there is no guarantee that if you send the money you will get a ticket or a response.

She wanted me to trade her my van for these travel vouchers. I thought it was more than likely a scam and I need cash not a vacation. It rubbed me the wrong way plus she told me they were given to her for a fundraiser so sent her a nasty letter. She responded to me saying that she can not sell the vouchers. Also I'm a horrible person for telling her what I thought of her vouchers.

I emailed her the other day and she says she no longer works for the company and has moved out of state. I think we both know why she left the state, because eventually someone would have caught up with her and she would finally have to answer for all the money she has stolen from her victims. She deleted her fb account after I located her there, she is just the bottom of the barrel trash. I'll never get my money back from her. Sad!

Dear Mandymom~ She absolutely is ###... She is a thief and a lier (corrupt and evil). Did you say you have found her or FB and TW? I have her BofA bank routing #... I wonder if there is a way to use it to receive our refunds?

I have spent so much time and money trying to track her down, I've even tracked her down on Facebook and Twitter. I've just exhausted myself and it was interfering with my daily life. I even spoken on the phone with some other individuals she has scammed! I would love nothing more than to get our money as she took our money during the holiday season. She is ###!

***SCAM ARTIST*** So far, Jennifer Welch or Bonny Welch... (she has 2 names) has stolen from my family $600.00. No help, no returned phone calls, no emails in 9 months! She dropped off the face of the earth. If you say she is honest and good, get a hold of her and let her know she has emails, tell her to respond. I'll clear up my dispute and charges if she responds.
So far she is an absolute scam artist and an absolute fraud... I'll take it up with the author and finisher of creation. Go with your gut people, I went AGAINST mine... I trust general mankind, yet felt something was off. We live in a fallen world... I should've know better.
Thank you Lord for your grace to me in this lesson. Blessed be Your name!

This is disgusting how someone can try and demolish someones good name. Mrs. Welch has been providing superior agent services to myself as well as my Brother and his family for about 5 years now. I hope if you are reading this, you would be mature enough to know that there are always two sides no matter how thin you slice it. And not everything you read online is true. But of course, there are always those people out there that believe everything they read. I feel sorry for them. I love that Jennifer can still provide us with great service even though people like this person trys to hurt her.

My name is also Jennifer Welch and I am affiliated with the travel industry and regularly use Craigslist. However, I am NOT the person being referred to in these complaints and really don't appreciate someone making such allegations against a name, especially one that I happen to share. It is very irresponsible to associate a name with the words "Complaints - Fraud - Scam". Comments like this are not only damaging to the person that they are targeting, but also to others who share the same name. How do we go about getting these slanderous comments removed?

Jake here! Our vacation rocked! I was able to go because of Jenn! She threw in one for free and that was my roommates! Jennifer, I doubt you read these but if you do... call me and I will do whatever you need. my families opinion actually means something to the ones higher up ;)

On a side note; you people need to relax. If she said she will take care of you, she will. I have known her for 7 years and I can honestly say, her character is commendable. All the work she does for churches and charities...It's not built into her to rip you off. Patience people. Or not, drive yourself batty and stress yourselves out! Get on here and correct my spelling, that might make you feel better.

Great vacations, great customer service, great prices! Thank you.. I will be telling all of my friends to come to you for their next vacation.

@marcomos1; dont worry, Jennifer has emailed about 100 of her customers letting them know she might need them to testify if it comes down to that. They can't destroy her life over 2 complaints compared to thousands of good customers. Jen has 8 years of good service :) John, I will keep passing this on to all of the group that went to Mexico. Yes Jennifer hooked us up on an amazing vacation.
@Lakshmi108; Did you seriously just correct someones spelling? LOL You are one of those? That tells us everything we need to know about you.

Just a couple thoughts, you complainers realize this WHOLE site is for the owners to email the people that are being targeted to make money to remove these complaints? If the target pays a small fee, all of this is removed. If Jennifer's business was REALLY selling bad vacations, she wouldn't have a company and her license would be revoked. The Attorney General is NOT STUPID. They ALSO realize this. So all this dust you are stirring up, is just dust. She has hundreds of customers who will bat for her, including me! It's people like you that don't realize how business actually works. I would love for you to list ONE company who has never had a complaint. And DAMN if they do, STONE THEM, STRING THEM UP, SHOOT THEM ON THE SPOT! HAHAHAHA amusing...

I never respond to these things but I feel like I need to on this. Last year I bought the trip with air and hotel as well as 4 of my friends. I had a similar problem but Jennifer fixed it for me. I thought she was ripping me off and jumped to every conclusion in the world! But I didn't understand that there is over 20 companies that deal with these tickets when you turn it on. So it gets VERY confusing for them and sometimes there is a mistake. For someone that deals with hundreds of people and you two are the only ones complaining, a monkey could figure this one out. She fixed it for me thru the company which took a good 5 weeks but she did it. We used the ticket and bought another one this year. That one was smooth sailing. I dont know about you, but to try and destroy someones life because of a companies malfunction is viscious!

By the way...Jennifer says she has an uncle in Dallas (which is where she said she is located) that is an attorney. Yep...Carol sounds a lot like Jennifer! By the way "Carol"... civil "suite" is spelled "suit".
Mandymom...if we both report her to the Attorney General in Texas, they will investigate. I support you in doing that.

Jennifer sold me tickets and I am having the same experience so far as this guy that complained. I got nothing but coupons and they all say I will have to spend more. She told me they must have sent me the wrong info and she would contact them and get back to me...or work on a refund. I haven't heard anything since. I can't reach her by phone or anyone at any of these agencies she represents. I am out $500. I am not even sure Carol Mosby is a real person. When I told Jennifer I was going to let people know what she did she threatened me with slander. She sounds like this Carol Mosby person. Maybe she is. I really wish I was wrong about all this. I would much rather have my tickets to Cancun than all this drama. But it's been 6 weeks now and I have nothing.

What I do know is:
1; The tickets have worked for everyone else.
2; That tells any human even if they only use 3% of their brain that maybe yours is not entirely HER FAULT. Can you grasp that?
3: These comments are slander and I will be pushing into sueing you for all of the money she has lost due to your comments. You think $800 is bad? HA!
4: FACT: She takes care of both of her handicapped parents and whether you want to make fun of her or not, ITS TRUE and GOD BLESS HER FOR DOING IT! Cant believe you would make fun of someone for that. Disgusting!
5: In any business, there is always hic ups, and because you live in your paranoid world, you think everyone is out to get you. NO you are just that 1% of people that are HORRIBLE to do business with. Lord forbid something go wrong! Then the whole world is out to get you and your family!
6: I am enjoying this. Everytime you write something, you are making yourself look like a bigger ### and helping her. So keep going.
7: I will be telling her to get all her customers to review this.

You don't know what you are talking about and only know parts of story that Jennifer has shared with you. When is the last time that you have gone online picked a person and said I think I will give her 800 dollars just for fun? Give me a break!

Why in the world should she be ashamed? There are 10 different agencies that take care of these trips. If ONE OF THEM has done something wrong, it is NOT HER FAULT! Yet you are hanging her up like she has control over them. You buy a radio from a neighbor, and if it breaks, do you hang your neighbor up because of bad wiring or the company that made it? You are totally backwards and using what little power you have for this. Its not right. Its been WAY over the time to do a civil suite on this, NO idea why she would give you your money back. She should tell you to go after the company and leave you be. The law states you only have so many days...seems to me, she is doing this just to be nice. But of course, she should be ashamed right? Grow up! Mind my own business? How BAD is it for you to post this for the world to see? YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF! I am actually going to let her know what her rights are seeing as my husband has been a top lawyer for over 35 years. I'm sure she would like to know that she doesnt have to do anything at this point.

You need to put yourself in my situation and then you may comment! This has been ongoing since November 10th of last year, while she was out spending our hard earned money we were left with nothing! We had given this trip to our children for Christmas and had told them about it! Have you had to disappoint your children before over something like this? You don't know anything about me or my character! You need to mind your own business and not be so quick to judge until you've dealt with this personally! I will go the every avenue I can until I receive my money and warn people about this fraud! She should be ashamed of her behavior.

Miss Mandymom, I have seen the emails as per my request and she told you that she would take care of you if you were not satisfied. It is not HER FAULT that she does not have it to give right back to you. I have no idea what your experience was but seeing how you are outright slammed her when you dont know her shows me a lot about who you are and your character. People have bad things that happen and you making fun of her for those things is just down right classless. She has told you that she will take care of you more than once and is trying, I believe. Just because it is not on your time, you make her out to be a bad person. She is fighting with the company about this and its coming out of her own pocket. They are the ones in the wrong, not her. Yes that is not your problem, but a little slack and human feeling would be better! That lady has more on her plate in this lifetime that you and me combined IM SURE OF IT! I am blessed to know someone like that! Before assuming that she is horrible, maybe reach down in that dark heart of yours and maybe just maybe realize crap happens sometimes.

I think it's lovely that you had a great experience, but we didn't not! I am NOT a LIAR! She has our 800 dollars and has conveniently moved to VA or so she says! I have in my possession in her writing that she has admitted to wrong doing! I would love to share the emails with you! She ruined our Christmas and continues to ignore my many emails! I will continue to warm everyone that I can about her and will not stop until I get my money back!

I got a random Facebook friend request from a Jennifer Welch WHO says she is 36 and single from california but now in Africa as a student. I found that unbelievable. After 3 days of chatting with her on Viber she had the audacity to ask me to buy her a 50$ itunes card to update her phone. I suspect she is a scammer I did not buy her an itunes card. And I will cease chatting with her.

Jennifer emailed me and told me that you put this out there per your email. She sold me 5 different tickets plus gave me a few for my church to raise money for the kids in the area. She asked me to put my experience on here because someone was complaining. I used 2 of these last year and will again use another this year. My experience was different than yours. It was exactly as described and saved us a lot of money. I was very skeptical about this seeing I am older. This is wrong to just be able to put lies out on the internet for anyone to read. I will have everyone that has used these tickets get on here and respond as well. She explained to me how they work and it was exactly how she told me it was. If I need to talk to someone I will. Thanks and have a blessful day!

Jennifer has been nothing but sunshine for my family and I. I bought 6 tickets from her and she gave me 3 more for free just because. That was a year ago. I was able to take care of my Christmas gifts and also give some to our church for a fundraiser. We have used a couple already and look forward to using the others. Wish there were more people in this world like her. She has a huge heart and loves doing good deeds. Dont let this one customer deter you from buying from her. She will make sure you are well taking care of. God Bless!

This guy is full of crap! One person putting this out on the net is wrong! I bought from Jennifer 2x now and I know what ticket he is talking about, YOU CANT UPGRADE and expect to not pay the fees. So called agent? She has an agent ID with a business license [censored]! She puts it all in the email about the details and it clearly states everything you did, so why are you complaining? People like you need to get a life! It's not her fault that someone in another company was slacking on the phone calls. There is a 30 day money back guarantee. Everything you said was a bold face lie!

I have been buying these from Trippin The Globe for a good 4 years, when she gets them. She has saved my family a lot of money over the years and has been in business for a good 8 years. She is a delight and will make the transaction as easy as she possibly can. I do regret she doesn't use paypal, etc.. but after the initial worry stage about buying online and getting to know her, you never worry about it again. Thanks for helping so many people! Hawaii here I come!

Actually, I have a better comment for Jennifer. I have purchased online trips from Jennifer several weeks ago and activated my ticket with a comformation code that worked. I was very weary at first from purchasing a ticket from criaglist in the first place. I would rather purchasing from her than any other airline, which would normally cost me $600-$700. I highly reccomend Jennifer Welch for your next trip.
