It all started with a phone call from a recruter from primerica. My husband called me and told me about this person who had called. At the time I was looking for employment and the way they made it sound he thought I would be interested.

I called them back and they told me a little about the company and how much of a great opportunity it would be for me. The man I talked to asked me to come in to learn more about the company and to see if this was something that I wanted to do. I thought it was a interview.

It all sounded pretty good at first. I went to the interview, which turned out to be some kind of siminar. They talked alot about life insurance. Later they took us in the back to explain what we would be doing. It all sounded great and I was excited about doing it. So I talked to some poeple about it and the next day someone came to my home to talk more about it with me.

The first thing that they wanted was for me to sign up for the life insurance. I already had some and told them that I couldn't afford it right then. They pushed and pushed about it and about the money to start school to learn and get licenced for this bussiness. I gave them the money to start school.

They also wanted me to get a list of people that I knew that might be interested in this. Just moving from another state I didn't know much of anyone, especially to talk them into buying insurance. I didn't hear anything else for about two weeks until the primerica life insurance company called me wanting to set up a medical exam with me.

I told them I didn't want the life insurance. Now I'm tring to get this life insurance policy cancelled and I haven't herd anything about going to school for this. No one has contacted me. The only thing that they wanted was for me to pay for this insurance that I didn't want.

For me this was nothing but a hassel and I am happy I got out before they squeezed more money out of my account.

You shouldn't have handed over anything until you were absolutely sure what you would be doing and what you would get for the money.

Right now, what do they have?

Some of your money?

Maybe your bank or credit account numbers?

Can you afford to hand that away to people you just met?

Is this an opportunity you intend to pursue?

What will you receive in exchange for your money?

It sounds to me like you should use the search feature at the top and spend some time reading some of the complaints here before you go jumping into anything.
