Wow!! I got a similar call - the dude doesn't talk that fast - infact - he gave me all the info.  When I asked him questions he was pretty cool about it.  I had my interview this morning.  I have no financial expertise, but after talking to him, he really shared great insight to the position.  Kutchky - why wouldn't you go?  Work is work!!  And apple - I hope I qualify further, if you qualified why wouldn't you go - you're going to take the opinion of a bunch of unemployed people typing on the internet rather than making an opinion yourself??????  Banana has it so right - after reading what he/she wrote I too believe that information should be from the source.  I found a great website that has REAL INFO:  www.citigroup.com  This guy is a Vice President for the largest financial companies in THE WORLD - No wonder he talks fast!!!!  Dude probably has a lot to do!!  My recomendation is if you get a call from someone - don't waste time listening to negative losers that are probably still looking for a job - go after it yourself and find out yourself- make decisions FOR YOURSELF.  I too will keep you posted.

This Primerica bottom feeder has been phoning and bothering me trying to get me to pay fees and join this scam.  Thanks for all the useful information here.

I fell victim to this scam known as Primerica. It all started one day when an unknown number called my cell phone and left me a voicemail. I listened to the voicemail and couldn't even hardly make out the name of the company from which the guy said he was calling. In the voicemail, 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, and 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 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 who 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 who 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.  Their phony postings here and elsewere, along with countless fake blogs and websites are indicative of the caliber of mediocrities that this organiziation attracts, and should be a red flag to any potential recruits or customers. 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 - 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.

The number associated with this address is 4000 Steeles Avenue West in Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada which is just north of the city of Toronto.  The local police there would be the Ontario Provincial Police -

I got the same phone call from this guy. He talks real fast with a sales manner. He convinced me that someone referred me to him and they're hiring for a leadership position with no experience in finance. I went to the first interview and he called me back today for a second interview. I'm so not going after I read these messages. Thank you guys!

Furthermore, in reading your pathetic article, It's clear how little you know.  Our distribution is to a client base, not to our sales force.  If you had any clue what we ACTUALLY DID AS A COMPANY (RRSPs, RESPs, Life Insurance, Debt Consolidation, Will revision, Legal Services etc), then you'd realize that we distribute these products to the public.  Your "3 or more level" crap is about selling to the people you "recruit" Do-Do - we are a financial company that operates under strict guidlines set out by the MFDA and FSCO.  If there was something illegitimate, wouldn't they have found out by now? Why are we the fastest growing company in Canada? We do what's right for families - don't even bother responding unless you have PUBLISHED material speaking otherwise - get off the net and go make some money you fruit!
