The Lionheart Group
The phone call following the first interview with Chuck Siegel CEO of Liongroup

I had read the comments on various blog sites and complaint boards about this company, but as long as it wasn't costing me anything, I decided to play along and see how far I could get.

After the 1 1/2 hour lecture about identity theft that they call "an interview" we were asked to call into to a telephone conference that night. I did this and having had a considerable amount of experience of teleconferencing, it just didn't seem above board right from the start.

At precisley the start time, some unannounced voice welcomed us to the conference and proceed to give us the wrong date! The first 30 minutes are devoted to "questions" which "Chuck" announced would be in a strict rotation, ie. One person at a time to give everyone a "fair chance" of asking a question.
The questions were so obviously canned from "Chicago, Jacksonville", etc.

Having listened to this BS and having worked out that this was a recording, not a live conference, I bagan actually shouting down the phone to make myself heard (my wife finally thought I had flipped).
The last 15 minutes of the call is spent listening to "Chuck" who cares so much about his business that he takes the time out to personally talk with all his prospective agents!!!

At the end of the call as he was giving his wind-up speech, I kept shhouting him name CHUCK, CHUCK, CHUCK just in case he was on the line but couldn't hear me. Of course he wasn't, therefore he couldn't. But what made it funny was right at the end, the same voice that opened the "conference" comes back on the line with a weak and feeble "hello?" I just died laughing and hung up.
Now the next day, the area rep was scheduled to call me. I deliberatley did not send in the paperwork he insisted was to be sent in for him to call. But call he did anyway. I asked what his company hoped to gain by using fake conference calls and how was anybody expected to trust them when they down right lied to us, right off the bat. His answer was that he wasn't on the call as he was still driving back from KC, but he feebly went on to say that Mr Siegel is a busy man and can't attend all calls. (Funny that he always finds the time to "personally" answer all the complaints and statements made on websites like this though?)
You make your own mind up and judge for yourselves.
