Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
They made out that this was an opportunity of a lifetime.

Michael Stewart denied it was an mlm.

They got me there under false pretenses and wasted my time.

Then they offered us a free business and told us we would have to pay $200 for a mortgage and insurance license.

What a bunch of crock.

Thank you for your website and information.

I now do not have to waste more time going 45 minutes away to listen to their drivlle.

They certainly do prey on innocent people.

Thanks,

aliza

I agree It is a MLM and is just this side of a illegal pyramid scam. The only thing they want is for the new recruits to give them the names of your family and friends for a "warm" lead list and then your"trainer" can make a commission off of them and call it on the job training. It is a very decptive way of getting new people into this deal as they wont tell you anything untill after you pay the $199 "fee" for your training and insurance lic. The only people that make the big bucks there are the upline people and then when you finally figure it out and quit they keep any cleints you may have been lucky enuff to get. I am glad there are so many web sites about primerica out there that I was able to figure it out before I made the mistake of signing up.

Cornelius, There is a difference between "one bad apple" and a barrel of rotten apples. Primerica is only one cog in the big, corrupt Citigroup machine. All that one need to do is to read the papers. Citigroup, Travelers' (& by default Primerica) are all tied up in the big business scams and fraud for which executives are being thrown into prison. Not a healthy picture for insurance salesmen. Perhaps Primerica needs a thorough doctor's examination before anyone buys insurance from them! ED Magedson [email protected]

I am also building my own Priimerica business and find it to be one of the best things I have ever done. Primerica is probally one of the cheapest business as far as start up costs a person could ever be involved with. I know because I have owned a bail bond agency for five years and a music store. I personally know a guy who have changed his family tree and have made millions by working this business properly. The best part about it, he began the same way I did!

Primerica's system is one that rewards work and does not pay for people who don't. If more people worked on this system more work would get done. If you came into contact with a bad apple,I am sorry for you but don't try to slander the company. I don't want to say any names but there is a very well known financial magazine that's doing an ad on a Primerica agent and how Primerica is changing affluence in America.

It makes me feel good when I read financial mags and they are teaching the same thing we are. I believe that most of these complainers are the comp. We are killing them. For me, I am with Primerica until they stop us, which I doubt.

Rhonda, did you check the "Press" section of your company's website? Numerous articles referring to your company as a multi-level marketing scheme. Right there on primerica.com - have a look. It's in the ranks with Amway, Quixtar, Trek Alliance, Excel, and others.

By the way, making money off new recruits is not the definition of MLM. You are either confused, or have been lied to.
