World Financial Group LEGAL PYRAMID SYSTEM...IN OTHER WORDS AND MLM ATLANTA GEORGIA

If you go to the wonderful thing called the Internet and type in MLM you can find out tons of information about these type of companies (which World Financal Group is on the list of MLM companies). Furthermore, the FTC warns "Not all multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. Some are PYRAMID SCHEMES. It's best not to get involved in plans where money you make it based primarily on the number of distributors yhou recruit and your sales to them." .................. It goes on and on. Suggest that you do your research before getting involved with any type of MLM company, especially World Financial Group in a military area. This "company" focuses on military members who are either still active duty and/or got out of the military and/or are retired.

I had a co-worker try to get me involved with this company a few years back and I just laughed at him. He didn't "get it" .... that I/my family manage our financials just fine and don't need his supposedly "get rich quick" SCHEME.



BE AWARE:   If it sounds to good to be true it probably is.



Best of luck.

To the rebuttal that thinks this company is a great thing and it's only the one person who filed this report that had issues, I'm sorry but you're wrong. It is MLM. My husband signed up with this company as a way to change careers - someone he knew was doing it and signed him up. Really, you can't "join" the company without going under another "agent" - proof by the website (http://www.wfg-online.com/SSL_New/SellingBuilding/eSignup/phase2/recruiterid.asp?country=us) where the first thing you have to do after clicking JOIN is enter your RECRUITER's ID. That alone should tell you that it is MLM. 

If that isn't enough, I have more. 

My husband decided to go with this company, like I said, because he knew someone doing it. This person talked my husband into it. After signing up with the company and paying ~$100 (what employer makes you pay to work?), rather than anyone teaching him the ins and outs of insurance or how to sell insurance or really anything that had to do with insurance - he was given books and lessons on how to sell the WFG business plan and sign up new recruits. My husband wasn't licensed at the time, but we're in a state where you can get a temporary license without any classes so you can work until you can take the classes. Of course WFG didn't mention this, my husband learned this months later after he had his permanent license. My point is, the company can't use the excuse that they didn't put my husband in any position to actually provide services because of licensing. 

My husband says WFG did sign him up for his licensing class and he received a discount on the class by being with WFG - but I think the $100 he had to pay WFG cancels that discount out. 

WFG, needless to say, was a lost cause when it came to sustaining a viable income without many recruits underneath him, so my husband stopped participating.

Luckily, my husband did find an actual "real deal" insurance company, who trained him in insurance - how it works, the different plan options, how to sell it, etc. - and got him licensed in multiple states. At no point when he was there was he asked to find someone to bring in under him. 

Don't be fooled's comments about how maybe it's just not for you if it didn't work out for you and about how WFG is a spectucular company, etc. I guess are in some ways right. If you're not good at suckering your friends, it's not for you. 

My husband, after being at the one insurance company for about a year and wanting to spend more time with the family, decided to work on his own from home. He - on his own - makes more in a day than he did after a month at WFG. My point being that the industry is for my husband - WFG and their Ponzi scheme are not. 

Interesting how your story goes something like; '...I had a friend...' to your personal experience.  This business model is not for everyone.  It is not for someone who cannot manage their time, people or maintain a positive outlook or follow a successful system.  Obviously it was not for you.  Having said that, what World Financial Group offers is the 'real deal'.  They give you the tools and training you need to be successful.  You have to put in the effort to be successful in YOUR business. The company holds true to the mission of 'no family left behind'.  I know because I was very skeptical at first and could have fallen in the category of people who failed.  I was saved from that by a marketing director who took the time to make sure I followed the system and now  my business is breaking out.  I am going to have the satisfaction of helping alot of people while making alot of money for my family.   I personally know of quite a few 'middle' managers making solid low to middle 6 figures a year.  This is NOT a 'pyramid scheme'. If you are reading this rip-off report, please don't believe everything you read.  This person obviously failed in his business as a WFG associate.  Don't blame the company or the system.  If you don't follow the system, if you cannot manage yourself, this business is not for you...Home Depot might be hiring!
