I, too, fell victim to this scam known as Primerica. It all started one day when I was soundly sleeping in my bed when an unknown number called my cell phone and left me a voice mail. I listened to the voice mail and could even hardly make out the name of the company from which the guy said he was calling. In the voice mail, he asked if I was still looking for employment.As a recent college graduate desperate to find a job in this sluggish economy, I gladly called back and set up an interview. So I met with the guy who was to become my "field trainer" or whatever and he explained to me what I would be doing. As a journalism major in college, I hadn't the slightest clue or interest in selling insurance, which is what I got out of the interview. But being desperate to work, I agreed to a second interview, and the really weird part is that he asked me if I wanted to meet at the local office or if I wanted him to come to my house (strange).I always felt really pressured when I met with him, and I found it strange the way he always had me write down names of people who I knew. He told me that there was a $99 fee but that if I didn't have it, I could do a "scholarship" program to where I go with my field trainer on three "successful" interviews with prospective buyers/victims in my "warm market" (people close to me - friends and family) to waive the $99 fee, which is what I chose to do.So we went on several interviews to houses of people I knew and the whole process just seemed a little strange to me. I found it weird how I wasn't participating (I would just sit at the kitchen table watching him explain all this information to my friends who were just as confused as me) and how he always left papers with everyone and asked them to fill out names of people they knew. Even to customers who didn't or wasn't interested in the whole process, he would constantly call me and ask if I had gotten the list of names. Finally after the third client, my field trainer just stopped calling me and that's when I knew that I had been scammed. I could tell from the beginning that it was a little strange and didn't seem like a real job, but being the desperate unemployed college graduate that I am, I accepted.I feel absolutely embarrassed to have to tell my friends that it was a scam and I am constantly apologizing to them for putting them through this and for giving out their personal financial information to these crooks at Primerica. These cronies are a weird bunch as well. My field trainer told me that I needed to go to the weekly meetings which were every Tuesday night and this was during the summer and Tuesday nights were volleyball nights for me so I rarely showed up and just made excuses as to why I wasn't there.The few meetings that I went to were absolute repeats of one another. The same people got up in the same order and talked about the same old stuff - about how great Primerica was and how it's changed their lives, etc. I spent the entire time asking myself, "What am I doing here with these scammers?" To top it off, my field trainer told me that I needed to go to a regional meeting in St. Louis, which was the biggest joke and waste of time of my entire life. All of these Primerica people are the most brainwashed and ridiculous-acting people I've ever met. I thought to myself that it was just a big cult. To anyone who comes into contact with these people, I would say hang up the phone or slam the door immediately before they lure you in before it's too late. I made no money but lost no money either. The only thing I lost was some respect among my friends and a great deal of time that I could have spent looking for other jobs.

That's too funny. The fraudster claims Google is removing all searches of his number! Odd that I had no problem searching it. I guess Google doesn't take whining scammers too seriously.

I liked everything about the company.. I loved that you have to get a professional licence from the government that when obtained, can be used in any financial company and they sponsor you. Very reputable, publicly traded company on the new york stock exchange. 2 thumbs up for me.

Wow!I just returned to this site. It needs to be known, publically, that Tamir "scam" Grossman opperates as follows:He or his 'partner' will call you.If you don't show up he will YELL at you.If you decide to show he will ask you for $105 to 'join' his team.He will charge your credit card $30 a month for nothing!He will ask you to make a list of EVERYONE you know.He will attempt (poorly) to sell LIFE INSURANCE to all your friends an Family.He will NOT STOP CALLING OR TEXTING!You will lose friendships because he is abusive.You will eventually quit, and be upset.I lost $500 because of this clown. Let's make sure no one else falls prey to this monkey - I suggest everyone post/repost and we nail this fraudster to the wall!

Its weird because i had the exact opposite experience as the other gentleman. My trainer helped my family save $1650 a year off their insurance and after that my family wrote me down 10 referalls without him even asking. After several successful appointments i have gathered 50 referalls in less than a month. Recently i got my license (which is regulated by the government) and my first week just through my referall market i have made over $2000. If this is a scam, can i have more please lol! All im doing is saving people money and getting them out of debt... This is working because i am working period. Is the company for everyone? Absolutly not, its for those who cant stand the average life you get from corporate America and canada and who want more out of life than just a paycheck. I am grateful for what Primerica did for my family and am looking forward to a long and prosperous career in this great company!
