I would first of all like to thank whoever it is that started this website. My fiance was contacted today while at work and was asked to return the call between 6-7pm tonight. We were both skeptical about the call before she made it, especially as I have been suckered into two scams already with Kirby vacuums and ACN phone company.
When she made the call she put her phone on speaker so I could hear the information about this "great career opportunity." As soon as the recruiter mentioned the name of the company I jumped online to get all the information I could. Thanks to google the second entry that came up for the Primerica search was this website, the first was Primericas. So naturally after checking out the Primerica site and reading about all the perks and great opportunitys with the company and I checked out this site. The very first posting was all I needed to see to alert me to this scam.
Rick, the man who contacted my fiance was quick to answer basic questions, but any in depth questions would have have to be answered at the "interview" on Thursday night. The first time Rick contacted my fiance at work he told her that his wife had done some Christmas shopping at her store and received "the best customer service." Upon answering my fiances call tonight Rick couldn't even remember who she was or when he had contacted her. This raised red flags that someone who earlier in the day was excited about her call couldn't even remember who she was when she actually made the call. The second red flag was raised when my fiance asked him to clarify how he had come accross her name. Rick said his wife had called into her store to check on some merchandise and my fiance had helped her very efficiently, he said his wife knows he's always looking for people with strong customer service skills for his "company."
About thirty other red flags were raised as the call progressed. Rick contnued to insure my fiance that all her questions would be answered Thursday at her "interview." Rick also tried playing the success card by mentioning her interview would take place at the "Tech Center" office instead of in his private office "up north." Red flag, red flag. Ricks reasoning for not answering her questions tonight was the fact he had very important business meeting to attend tonight with some of his "clients." Red flag. Lets see, if I'm running a business and looking for elite employees I'm not going to ask them to call me while I'm preparing to go to a very important meeting.
Important memo to all you Primerica "owners" out there. Clients and employees are not one in the same. If you have a very important meeting to attend don't ask a potential employee to call you while you're preparing. If someone is a worthy candidate to a high profile job they are going to have questions. If you aren't willing to answer them at the time of the call then don't ask them to call. Group interviews are not a key to a life of financial success. Worthy candidates are worthy of individual interviews. How are you going to know what type of employees are joining your organization when you bring them in with 100 other people.
