I was solicited (via phone call) by Prepaid Legal Services for employment based upon my resume posted online. This was followed up with an e-mail containing a link to a web presentation about Prepaid, and another link to Youtube.com for a self serving video on how much money you can make working for Prepaid.
These I did my Google research.
I found too many links to count; the majority of which are negative. Everything from creative bookkeeping, to SEC violations, guilty verdicts across the nation in criminal and civil cases, and on, and on, and on
Before you invest (what an oxymoron) or consider employment, do your research. These websites were probably the most comprehensive:

I noticed that you have responded to a lot of complaints with the same response. I mean word from word, it so clear that you must be in charge of PR.
However, some of us get paid to research. Like you said if you are going to state the fact you must state the good and the bad. You keep talking about all these magazines, which track what companies SAY they are worth. There are many ways to boost ones net worth. Just ask Donald Trump who was exposed for exaggerating about how much he is worth, and he has also been in these same magazines for years now. If I bought most of my own stocks, so investors would invest its fraud.
Lets do the math on this one ok..and believe me it isn't rocket science.
If membership is declining as well as the number of people that actually stay with the plan, how are they making money? However, they make so much money. Not to mention things that one might need a lawyer for isn't covered, but of course one will get a 25% discount for legal matters that may take months to prepare or win. Why prepay for something that is going to let you down when you really need them to have your back. This is something to just pray on low income families.
Now I will mention that on their very own website they don't even list the terms and conditions. Why would I need to sign up before I can see them, unless there is something to hide? Remind me of those gifting scams that was going around a few years back, and by the way they are still around also with people still falling for them. The reason I bring this up is in their own fine print other than how they do not cover most things that you would need to hire a lawyer for, is the fact if anyone cancels their membership within that first year the rep (the person who sold it) has to repay the money they received from the sale with interest. Could it be that most people don't stay member after they realize that they really don't need the service.
Maybe you need to state the praises and shortfalls of a company before you talk about research. As you see there is always two sides of a story anyway.
By the way, has anyone Googled the company, there are over 100 suckers trying to push this service. Majority are sitting at home with their webcams, they are very unprofessional. Why would anyone want to buy anything on them?
If anyone wants a good review of this company go to Wallstrip website they give you the truth as well as survey people on the streets about the services, so Spud why don't you check it out I would love what you have to say about the product service you so love to defend.
P.S. this is a Pyramid/Ponzi scheme try researching that Spud. A True MLM has a product to offer, not a service.

That's one of the major things I learned in college. When you do your research properly, you will find negative and positive about everything. Let's talk PPL specifically. Did you read what these magazines said about PPL: Money, Forbes, Black Enterprise, Fortune, just to name a few? Do you trust these magazines research? We certainly don't advertise with them. There is no money under the table.
Can you name another company that is endorsed by the President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the President of the Black Chamber of Commerce, a former president of the American Bar Association, four former Attorney Generals. Do you really think they would risk their reputation?
Did you read the article in the USA Today, Section B (Money), August 22, 2007. If you believe in research, look it up. Mr Stonecipher's picture is on the front page between Jeff Bezos, CEO and founder of amazon.com and John Sperling, CEO and founder of Apollo Group, which operates Phoenix University. Find out why.
Do you even know who Robert Kiasaki is? He made the statement that PPL has the best compensation plan he has ever seen. Do you really think he is going to risk his reputation if PPL is a scam?
So, please, absolutely, DO YOUR RESEARCH! Go to our website. We tell you the good and the bad. There is just so much more to our story as a company. Every company is going to have a disgruntled employee or a customer that is not happy.
I'm not here to convince you that we are what we say we are. 37 years old. I would call that established. Traded on the NYSE. I would call that credible and an open book to our finances and practices.
Absolutely, do your research.
