State Farm Agent Jennifer Johnsen-Nazareth
State Farm employment is a scam, job ads are scams

I was solicited by a so-called rep from State Farm Insurance. It turns out that she is not with State Farm, or least did not want to prove to me that she was, however, she was using an email from the company. Her employment ads appear on Career Builder and other places online.

Spoke to her by phone, she couldn't answer any questions, just rambled off a scripted verbal report about agents. Turns out after looking up this person, I doubt she has anything to do with State Farm! She was offering a salary of 20k per year to start, she said, but when I looked up her other bogus ads, here's what they said:
Description Marketing/Sales/Customer Service Representative
