I'm 39 years old. Twenty years ago, I was contacted in New Jersey, where I then lived, by a man claiming to have the answer to financial independence. Being a little naive, but also posessing good perception and common sense skills, I attended two meetings hosted by a RVP for the company then known as A.L Williams. I was never told how my name was referred to them.

At the meetings, there was the RVP, preaching the gospel on how we all could earn six figure incomes without hardly lifting a finger. Even at age nineteen, I questioned this. I did my own checking. A.L. Williams had a history of not paying out death claims.

There were countless complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau. Also, I found out that A.L. Williams was banned from conducting business in thirteen states!!!

Fast forward now to 2002. I now live in Florida. I received a call from a manager at Primerica, wanting to interview me for a management position. I had nothing to lose, so I went to the "company overview" meeting.

Again, it was not known how my resume got to the manager. I was shocked to be in a room with a dozen other people. Once the meeting began, it took me back twenty years. The same song and dance. I went home, did some research, and found that Citigroup had taken over A. L. Williams in 1987!!!!

Well, well, well!!! Satan has come to walk the earth again!!! Primerica is the second coming of A. L. Williams!!! I am submitting this letter in hopes of making an awareness contribution to anyone who is thinking of pursuing a career in this area. DON'T!!!!!

If you personally are having money problems, and need help with your finances, go to your local bank, and meet with their financial planner.

If you need to earn more income, I highly suggest a customer service position. At least it will pay more.
