This Tamir guy is a scammer. Got a call from him, immediately checked the internet, and found this thread. Case closed!.

Looks like the Primerica sludge keeps coming back here to defend their garbage - kind of like a bad smell that won't go away.  Lots of useful information on the pyramid scheme here -http://ethanvanderbuilt.com/2013/05/05/primer ... -in-my-opinion/

Think long and hard before you deal with Primerica. My 17 year old son's 'friend' told him he had a good job interview for him today. My son came home after an hour telling me he doesn't have to go away to college in six weeks. That the company told him he can make loads of money. After hearing all their promises, my son's idea was to stay home, attend a local college part time & work for Primerica full time.Can you imagine people that would 'scam' a kid into believing this! He is only 17 years old, I saw the contract papers he signed, and he also gave them the $99 to run a so called background check on him.I worked long and hard for my son to get good grades and to be accepted into good colleges & just paid a large tuition to the college last week.Honestly, I was trying to stay calm and talk some sense into my son, but I became hysterical crying.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Also the fact that these people would have a person, under the age of 18, sign a binding contract!I waited for my husband to get home and we drove to the office. I admit, I was loud, demanding my son's money back & the original papers that he signed. I was told to 'keep it down,' I didn't. I kept repeating how they took money & made promises to a 17 year old. Reminding them that you have to be at least 18 to sign any kind of contract papers.I told them I was sure it was a pyramid scam, & how I was sure that my son's friend got a commission for having my son sign up and give $99.The man there kept saying he didn't sign up my son, and would have to find out who signed him up. Long story short, he said the man was out on an appointment & I should come back tomorrow morning for my son's money and the contract papers my son signed.We shall see what happens tomorrow. Also, from the comments on web sites, I know that you have to approach and annoy family members and friends to make deals for this company. There are many risks involved with the investments. How can people live with themselves knowing they can destroy a family member or friend financially. My son has his whole future ahead of him, and they could have destroyed that.I guess I can go on and on, but how desperate is a company that they would con a 17 year old?

I am not just angry, I am furious. My boyfriend and I went to a Primerica meeting as an invitation from a friend's brother. We enjoyed the presentation, and told them we were interested in joining the company. We are young, in college, and thought, "hey, a cool job offer!" They were extremely, unnaturally excited for us to join. This is because by manipulating us and convincing us to work for the company, they got promoted. Basically, the people they hire are not employees, they are just young adults who they require convince their family and friends to use Primerica. By doing so, they get a sale, and the people who hire you get promoted. You are nothing to them. You are just another sale. So, after realizing this after the FIRST ORIENTATION, we told them we were no longer interested and went on our way. However, it turns out that they have been calling our employee references (which they required TEN personal references) behind our backs, saying that we personally recommended them for Primerica. What a great company. Way to take advantage of two 19 year olds. You go.

I know a pyramid scheme when I see one. In high school I went to a presentation and it all seemed shady. A lot of kids and naive people desperate for work. This company takes advantage of people more than provides a service for them. If they're willing to hire just anybody to give financial advice to people, that should be an indication that this isn't a properly run company. I also find it fishy that "Carlos V" and "Mike V" (oddly with the same last initial) speak so highly of the company. It's absolute [***].

im sure hes a good guy...just make sure everyone understands its a business notna job.
