Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Contacted by individual named Chris who saw my resume online at msn careers. Stated he was looking for someone with my particular background for employment. Wanted me to attend meeting on Saturday 5/28/05 @ 8:30am to discuss job and, meet regional manager.

I went online to check this company out and, thankfully found this website. I called & cancelled interview. Ask them to not contact me again. I was very disappointed in this kind of scam being conducted on what looks to be individuals such as myself who are honestly looking for legitimate jobs.

I do appreciate this website and, I am glad I took the time to check into this job offer before I wasted my valuable time and, money with what is obviously a scam. I am also very shocked that they have aligned themselves with Citigroup Financial I did check out their website which I received a from a reliable source and, found a careers website offering legitimate jobs opportunties.

People if you see this before you go for the interview please heed these warnings so, that you don't get scammed. Do a search on their company and, ask for more details on pay, benefits and, all information you would normally inquired about with a legitimate job offer. If you aren't getting any answers then I would give them a pass.

Rebuttal Deconstruction

#2Consumer Comment

Wed, June 08, 2005

This is in reference to the rebuttal by an independent contractor of PFS Financial Services, Incorporated (Primerica). This woman's rebuttal seems to have little bearing to the business at hand, and goes more to the low intelligence and "fear of change" which the original report writer has, in the opinion of the rebuttal writer. Such personal attack tactics seem to be a trained response to attacks on independent provider's parent companies. I'll not use the term MLM as it dosen't quite fit the criteria. In the rebuttal, she attacked the person's choice of work ethic (J O B is a derogatory cultural term in the US, and also a buzzword), her friend's ability to give advice, her family's ability to give advice, made a judgement on the fears of the report writer, without ever having interviewed her, and stressed that she is "happy" with being an IC with PFS. By the way, stating emotions when attacking someone is a way to imply, "DON'T YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY?! I'M HAPPY!"

Melissa, You're another troller shilling for Primerica. I have a message for you and it starts with the first paragraph at Ripoff Report: "Victim of a consumer Rip-off? Want justice? Rip-off Report is a worldwide consumer reporting Website & Publication, by consumers, for consumers, to file & document complaints about companies or individuals who ripoff consumers." So how are you helping the victims Melissa? What is your business on Ripoff Report besides to do shilling for Primerica? "How can you write that this is a ripoff when you didn't go to the interview? Primerica is legal and state regulated company. The $199 is for your life licences and classes to take the state test." You mean it's okay to jump off a cliff to get to a pot of gold? Primerica is going to have to fully document that frontline agents do make money by sending documentation to Ripoff Report proving just that. Otherwise trollers like Melissa will keep getting my standard response along with other posters. "Have fun in the RAT RACE with your J O B!!!" Have fun attending those boring Primerica meetings troller while wasting your time.

How can you write that this is a ripoff when you didn't go to the interview? Primerica is legal and state regulated company. The $199 is for your life licences and classes to take the state test. I'm sorry that you missed the chance to change your life! I have had a great experience with Primerica learning about how to change my own life and making money helping others too. Although I don't agree with seeking people out online this is a honest company. If you can't think outside the box and want to learn how change your financial situation go ahead and keep doing what your doing. If your just looking for a J O B don't bother considering this company. Your friends and family will give you bad advice because of fear or ignorance. People fear change and will tell you it won't work and it's sad that most people will agree and never make a change because they took bad advice. Have fun in the RAT RACE with your J O B!!!
