In a sidebar to this hoo-hah, here's this week's business news on Primerica:Citigroup to Sell Last of Its Stake in Primericahttp://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/12/13/citigr ... rimerica-stake/"Citigroup ... prepares to sell the last of its remaining shares in the firm it took public last year.. . . . . . . . . . Primerica?s stock was down about 6 percent in premarket trading on Tuesday."Citi Sells Last of its Primerica Shareshttp://www.forbes.com/sites/marketnewsvideo/2 ... imerica-shares/"Citi spun off the provider of insurance, investment and savings products last year. Primerica now serves ?Main Street? America as a standalone company, competing with companies like MetLife and Prudential."So Primerica now has to strike "subsidiary of CitiGroup" from all of its promo copy and sales presentations. It's been reported that sales spielers would try hard not to mention the name "Primerica" until totally necessary. Momma's apron is lifted from its face now, not that hiding behind a Bailout Bank was any great shakes. The Primerica name is part of a long heritage of fraud and name changes, and if the current name is as soiled as certain corporate trolls fear, another rebranding is coming in 2012.

I agree with those that say MLM is a bad deal for most people. It's "endless chain" compensation and recruiting. MLMs typically telemarket all hours of the day, weekends, holidays, and are taught to prospect and recruit 24/7. Your friends will avoid you if you bring this shiite up to them. <p>They teach people that your friends are losers if they don't join. People get obsessed because of the groupthink training sessions where they get your endorphins firing. 90%+ lose money in MLMs. Products are usually mediocre and better and cheaper elsewhere. Markets are often already saturated with people who have been harassed by MLM telemarketers. You work harder for longer hours, weekends and holidays included, but you don't get paid for that work, you only get paid to make a sale. You might work for a week just to get one sale, then you get a very tiny cheque because 6 or more people and the company also have to get paid from that sale. MLM is a really bad business model, but they lobby government and make donations to politicians so they can influence the laws in the country. <p>A lot of off-the-street types who are down-and-out join, but just lose more.<p>Check with www.the-cma.org to see if they are registered and abide by the CMA rules for marketing. If they are, you can file a complaint. If not listed, ask yourself why?<p>

The chance of your life? You are definitely a very close-minded person to assume that. "Quixtar is a multi-level marketing company that sells SOAP and TOOTHRBURSHES!!" Wake up buddy, Primerica is a multi-level marketing company that sells INSURANCE and FINANCIAL SERVICES. Please point out to me where the big difference is. It is not irrelevant as the same basic principles which applied to AmWay/Quixtar apply to other MLM schemes. I advise any and all people to beware of MLM companies, whether they are backed by Citigroup or AmWay. Citi is in the business of making money, Primerica yielded a profit of $544M, it is obvious that it is making money. The difference is WHO is making the money. The "independent representatives" (read: "Independent Business Owners" in Quixtar speak) are not the ones making money. If you've booked an interview - don't worry, you're already hired. Why? Because you are a customer to them, not an employee. As will be everyone that you refer. I can definitely see that you are a hardworking and self-motivated person (read: unemployed?) and it is a scary thought to think that you have a mortgage and a family of three while living on the hopes and dreams of some "amazing" financial freedom that you think a job that requires no experience may yield you. I pity your children, for if my father spoke with the immaturity of you it would be a sad day of reckoning when I saw him for the failure that you are. I was previously a manager for the world's largest consumer packaged goods company, a $100B MNC that has work ten-fold that of your precious Primerica. I currently work in marketing for one of the world's largest internet companies, with the second-most visited site and largest e-mail host in the internet. To think that you would call me a pety "20 year old... living off my parent's dime!!" speaks volumes about the types of people that Primerica is looking for to sell financial services. I would bet you think CFA stands for Corn Flakes 'n Applejuice. Attacks on my character are unwarranted. Get the facts before you try do so, and for the sake of your children at least get some outside information on what you speak before preaching your garbage to the vulnerable of the internet.

"When you sell yourself to family and friends, you do just that. If you get them to buy, you have perhaps put a few quick dollars in your pocket, but in so doing you traded integrity that you once had with the people who trusted you most. This same integrity, mind you, is integrity that you cannot easily buy back. Regardless of how big your sphere of influence might be, staying on this path will guarantee that your well will eventually run dry." I have a brother and unlce that do not even speak to eachother right now over this Primerica b***s***. He is right if your not smart enough to see that this is a pyramid scheme (a bad one at that) you'll know when your personal relationships go to s*** because of money lent/spent/borrowed. These fools called me today with an interview opportunity. (647) 693-6569 is the number that called me today to their credit the lady i spoke with was very courtious and polite. Still not interested though

If you are being harassed or extorted call your local police department--not an attorney. They have special tasks forces, or they will contact your local FBI department  that works with wire fraud, which is what these calls fall underneath due the fact they called you on a phone. They will give you the information/advice  you need to help you.
