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.

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.

Jonathan Kellert emailed me with this text:"Hello Joe,I have your resume you posted on Monster.ca. I noticed you have been working in the software field for several years. Our company is expanding at this time, if you are open to using your analytical abilities for other industries please read on. We are the largest financial services marketing company in North America with 100,000 licensed representatives as well as the largest mutual fund sales force with 24,000 agents. We have been in business since 1977 as well as we trade publicly on the NYSE. What we do is give clients better options to achieve debt freedom, become financially independent and be properly protected. We are looking for independent contractors to help our division achieve the target of 200 offices across Canada in the next 10 years. Because of our growth the focus we have is to train and develop people to run and operate these offices.If you are interested in a possible career change at this time contact me for more information.Jonathan Kellert(778) 847-6086"

I received the exact message complete with the spelling and grammatical errors. He's trolling through Monster looking to sell insurance to you. He is not exactly lying but it's far from the truth. The first indication of concern was that this huge company is not named. Why not name yourself unless it's to prevent an easy Google search? The spelling and grammatical errors also raised a flag. The line: "not looking for people with that experience" also worries me. The claim of 25 offices in the Vancouver area is also odd. I found only 6 offices listed in the Vancouver area and when I went to Google street view there were no signs for PFS or Primerica. One was a chiropractors office and another an empty building that was for sale. A third at 8872 Hudson street was there. It shares a building with a lock smith and has cheap plastic signs in the window. The office at 4309 Fraser street is not bad looking and has a proper sign but shares a building with a hair salon. I'm seeing cheap rented offices in areas completely away from the financial district. After linking PFS to Primerica and seeing the reports on the activities I am warning others to be careful. It looks like they are trolling job sites for email addresses and attempting to lure desperate job seekers.

Just got a call, said it was for exansion in the lower mainland.  John Kellert from PFS, don't know if I'll call back.I am going to an unrelated field.

Got a message from with the same details i.e. works for PFS and wants to expand business. Not talking to him. Smells like a real fraud case.
