Primerica Financial Services Multilevel bait and switch misleading pitch Calgary Alberta
I was approached via telephone, by someone who had found my resume on-line and wanted to know if I was interested in changing careers. I told them I was, and was immediately led into a pitch about Primerica, and how they were looking for a number of local trainees to eventually open independant offices in Calgary. I was invited to a meeting to discuss whether I would be interested.
Aside from suspician at the approach, I had never heard about the company and decided to do some research. I smelled a MLM scheme, and as I went on-line this was confirmed. There approach seems an awful lot like another pseudo-financial services company that came and went in the 80's named AL Williams. Not sure if any of them are still around. I am glad I found this site, and others describing the true nature of this "business opportunity", and I won't be having any more contact with these folks.
Beware.

I too was contacted by Primeamerica and was suspicious. I also believe that they are part of the Al Williams era. This is happening everywhere. At a time when many of us are looking for employment is this horrendous behavior that keeps me on my toes. There are many, many people prying on the unemployed.
