Complaint Review: Primerica - Joliet Illinois

The old atage "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" definitely takes the cake here. The first MLM company I was scammed at was Emodel which is a completely different talk show (please feel free to read the posts on this website, great job by the way). Now I've been duped by Primerica. For some reason unemployed people (aren't not the victims by no means) such as myself keeps falling victim of these scams. Why you ask? Because internet services like HotJobs and Monster are giving these companies access to our resumes'.

These MLM's are swooning in on us like the vultures they are preying on the innocent. How can they pretend to be legitimate employers? Yes, I'm an adult and have no one to blame execpt myself. But enough is enough. Companies need to state their true agenda, names, and purposes and not lead people to false pretenses. I eyewitnessed something yesterday so horrible, at least to me it was. I've now decided that Primerica is not the company I thought it was nor for me. Last night, they tried to force a fellow agent to sign his policy without reading it. When he stated he wanted to take it home and read it they told him no he couldn't.

Then he asked to read it there, but they said there wasn't enough time. We had just gotten out of a "training class" which was basically more recruiting. They argued with him for a half hour to get him to sign and when he refused, they got the Regional manager and then they all got angry at him.

They then demanded that he return today to the office to sign it. I hope he didn't. Someone should never be pressured to do anything, especially when it comes to signing documents. Being forced to sign a policy without reading it and their lame excuses to why he didn't need to read it was enough to make me sick. If I were him I would have shredding the policy. In fact that's what I plan to do with mine when they present it to me. "You've already signed the application so this is the same thing", duh if you want me to sign it apparently I need to look it over to make sure there isn't any information I overlooked or need to confirm on the application.

In response to "at least we at Primerica have better things to do like helping people climb out of debt, and become financially independent". I have yet to see in the months that I've been going on appointments with clients getting them the help they need. The people who needed the help couldn't get it and the ones who didn't need the help but could afford the products and services had enough sense to not go though it. "Has anywhere

you ever worked help make a difference, an impact on peoples lives"?

In all actuality, I could honestly say no, every business seems to have an alterior motive from my experiences but I won't etch it in stone. But PFS claims to want to help people and that's not the case. "This world is in a hurt of trouble as far as people being in debt and not financially secure.....perhaps you could look at the "big picture", instead of worrying about people saying "Amen". .... People aren't worried that they say amen they're just saying a lot of MLM's are set-up like a cult. Cults usually involve brainwashing people and leading them to believe that they are all for the good of the people and everyone else is out to get the consumer.

Sounds like brainwashing. "By the way WE ARE the largest financial services company in the WORLD, we have over a trillion in assets, does that sound like a cult to you"??? Lots of multi-million dollar companies have shiesty workers and practices but are able to cover them up in what anit-PFSer's Ken Young likes to call "newbie dorks". Check out his website if you have any doubts. I would hate for you to be uninformed like myself. Read them throughly now.
