I received a phone call about a week ago, about a job opportunity. I was very excited, because I wanted a 2nd job... I called the number back, to let Sheryl know that I was interested. She called me back about a week later. She told me that my cousin gave her my number and that she was looking to hire me to work for her part time.. She told me to come in for an interview. I agreed. I went into the office. I noticed that my cousin was sitting with Sheryl. She asked me to go into (I guess the interviewing room). Her (along with my cousin) came into the room. She gave me a brief story about the company and how I can make all of this money. I was thinking to myself, this is want I need (more money)... So she kept going on and on about things with the company, and about insurances. Showing me different articles that she got off the internet. Pointing out the dates on the article...(many of the aticels were dated for 2000 or 1999) She showed my a book that had a couple of comments about Primerica. She was suppose to show me a couple magazie articels, but she said that the magazines were in her car. She had my cousin get on the PC that was in the room and give me a quote on what I would pay for some Primerica's life insurance. The quote wasn't a bad quote.. [Well she still had me...] She went on with different stories about people and the insurance that Primerica offers...... She even showed me her pay checks. I was thinking WOW..
If I can bring home this type of money along with my pay, I would be doing good.... Finally after the whole speech, she asked me was I interested. I told her YES... She then tells me that I would have to take a class to learn about different insurances. Then she said that the I would have to pay for my class.($199.00) I was sitting there thinking about the $199.00 dollars. THEN she asked me to write a check. I told her that I wasn't able to pay the money right at this moment. She asked me to POST DATE the check. I just acted like I didn't have my check book with me... She then said that I could pay with credit card. I declined...
I did fill out the application (well she filled it out). The only thing is, my social security number is on the application. She didn't even ask my for my ID or drive license... I am so glad that I found this website. I am suppose to meet her this weekend to go over some information.(and bring my check). I think I will have to pass. I just hope my cousin get out before he loses anymore money... I have another cousin that haven't paid his money yet. Please don't give them your money... I beg you... Read these articles and you will know why.
{ALSO..She told me a story about life insurance in the BIG 3. She said that if you work for the BIG 3 and die, your spouse will not get your life insurance policy. Only if the person died on the job or a job related death. NOT TRUE...}

I just went to their recruiting seminar yesterday. What a joke it was! All these PFS people wore clothes from salvation army, timex watches, and drove old beaters. The RVP claimed that he makes $200,000 a year, yet he can't afford to buy a nice suit or deoderant. He was sweating like a pig and stank like the garbage dump. Oh yeah, not to mention the nice calculator watch, I bet he saved alot of families from debt with the complex financial equations he stored on that watch.hahaha If he makes $200,000/ year, why is he driving a ford tempo? It just doesn't make sense! Throughout the show, they pitched that everyone is self-employed, business owners. Doesn't he know that there are tax write-offs on car payments for the self-employed?? Since his car payments are tax write offs anyways, doesn't it make sense get a better car then give it away to the government?? oh yeah, maybe his mercedes was in the shop..hahahaha...i don't know anyone that makes $200K and drives a tempo!! too funny Then the RVP bragged about some greasy looking guy will be receiving a $700 paycheque next week for 4 hours of work by selling insurance to his friend. Congratulation! now you can afford to buy anti-dandruff shampoo! I looked around the room, everyone looked like the casts from "trailer park boys"..my god, i felt like a tv star!! i encourage everyone to attend to the seminar, it's free entertainment! better than going to the circus! it's just tooooo funny! i'm still laughing hahahahha
