$199 IBA Fee Explained as State License Cost, Only $159 Refundable

Business & Finance

Primerica gave $199 to the state I live in!

I went to one of their opportunity meetings the other day and I was very interested about the opportunity. They talk about owning your business and the potential to make a 6 figure income. I was like wow!

Then came this $199 IBA fee. I don't remember what he said (something about licensing school), but he convinced me to pay it. I call him up again to explain the $199 fee to me, and he said the $199 went to the state who will sponsor your life license you will get after passing the state exam.

I was like WTF? Why did I pay $199 to the state??? I told him I want my money back because I don't want no government to take my money and I don't want to take a test to own a life license. He said ok, but I'll only get $159 of it back. Now I was really pissed off. What happened to the other $40? He said, that went to the FBI to get a criminal background check on you. Oh great, now the FBI has some of my money. Just freaking great...

To anyone who goes to the so-called "opp meeting" just be careful in what you pay for. Do you really want to pay $199 to own a life license? I don't!
