thanks to all who posted here. I just got a call a my home number from this guy who identified himself as Johnathon Lellert, with the expanding business rhetoric. I was about to call but looked here first and diverted 5 minutes of my life here instead of there.

Just a few of many threads that mention Primerica:http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/2163934439http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/(416) 436-6229http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/5085592989http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/5169467747http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/5713668284http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/(604) 525-0818http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/6083358449http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/6123091496http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/(647) 292-6200http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/6786485403http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/(778) 847-6086http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/8456618791http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/8474586780http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/8475840244http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/(905) 264-9962

Been playing phone tag with this guy for almost a week. I figured it was not legitimate... darn it, its the only bite I've gotten on my resume!! lol

This same dude sent me an email with the following text:

Hello (my name),

I have your resume that you posted on Monster.ca. I'm a manger in charge of expansion for my company here in the lower mainland. I want to see if you are still currently looking for something at this time?

We are a large diversified financial company. Although we are in the financial industry we aren't a bank, and I'm not looking for people with a financial background. Right now we are going through an aggressive expansion phase here in the lower mainland. Our main focus right now is to open new outlets. That is why I wanted to see if you would be open to exploring career possibilities with us here?

If you are open please contact me so that we can discuss further opportunities.

Have a good day,

Division Manager of PFS
Jonathan Kellert


What fishy about this is that my resume on monster has nothing to do with sales or finance... I don't even understand why this dude wants to contact me..

I received a call from this number as well and did some research.  The company is legitimate and went public a year ago on the New York Stock Exchange.  I have my resume on Monster same as everyone else so I can change careers, make money.  If you are not open to looking at something why would you put your resume out?

I met up with this person, he seems to be a genuine person but I am unsure of the company that he works for. He is a Representative of the Primerica Life Insurance company according to his business card. I found out over the net that such a company exists and its head office is at Ontario. But when he called me for a meeting we met up at a cafe called Bread Garden, not at an office, which was kinda odd. So don't know. I did not take the job bcos I am in the creative industry and he wanted someone in business and also who would be able to talk to the customers. So if anyone is interested you can go meet him. He seemed to be open to questions so you can go ahead and ask him details about the job.

Primerica is the company that Jonathan Kellert represents and it has a bad reputation. He is looking to add new people to his group in order to rise up in what is a MLM (multi-level-marketing) scheme. Primerica recruits under trained commission only people to sell insurance. However, you need a license to sell insurance so it's really just a way to get access to you and your friends and relatives so he can sell dubious financial product with heavy commission fees to them.

Stay away from this person.
