I was introduced to WFG as an opportunity to be a Financial Advisor. After I payed the $125 and put all of my personal info into their site to get my license I found out that it isn't even a ********************** Security License, it is health and life, and the amount I paid had nothing to do with Licensing, it ended up being a pay in to their Pyramid Scheme nothing to do with my license. I was misled to pay the amount and now I am being charged $25 a month on top of it. I would like for my info to be removed and my money to be refunded. I was issued an agent number 90UAC, but never made a ***** and I feel disgusted that I even fell into this trap. If anyone sees this dont fall for it, they try to promise the world and give you nothing.

Horrible scam! Paid $125 on the day of the "interview". You can tell that they are not professionals, I don't know how I got lied to like that. They make it seems like you are going to be making millions but they make you pay for $250 total of licensing and other additional fees in order to start. Agent Code: 92RTL I would like to request a refund of the $125, my SSS number, and other personal information to be removed from your system.World Financial Group

I was mislead and not properly informed of how this business works. I got scammed out of $125 for a "back ground check," when in fact your payment is to WFG for access to their online website.
This is straight up a pyramid scheme, which I was assured many times that it wasn't. I was lied to and I want my money back! My agent number is 92BEG I want all of my information deleted and no association with WFG. You can only make good money by constantly recruiting and then which they try to get the recruits to purchase their products. They do not properly educate and train their employees which has lead to MANY people getting screwed out of a TON of money. There are many lawsuits going on with the company, involved in shady stuff. I have tried emailing for a refund with no luck. Please email me with my refund! DONT WALK, RUN FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING RELATED TO WFG!World Financial Group

I was mislead and not told complete information when I was asked to leave the 125$. After telling the recruiter that I did not have the money she insisted on me using a credit card. I was excited and looking forward to working. Had to do my own research to find out one day later that it was a pyramid scheme. Let the agent know that is not what I was looking for and they still insisted I stay. I wish I would have been told all the information upfront and not been gaslighted. I have filed a dispute with my credit card company hopefully I can get my money back what a scam! I tried getting my agent code they sent me and I no longer have access to the agreements I signed on docusign. Hopefully my personal information is not compromised.Imelda G.

I am embarrassed I fell for their tactics. I was asked to engage my friends and family so I can learn only to realize they were trying to recruit them or sign them up for insurance. I want to end all ties with WFG and would like a refund. I want all my personal info and familys info removed from their systems. I am shocked after doing my own research.

I was referred by a trusted neighbor. Like all these other reviews, I too was scammed. 125 up front but when they talk to you about how easy and the things they promise it seems reasonable. They neglect to tell you the several charges that follow. And they want all this done including an exam done within 7 days. Very misleading! I tried to contact the company but that was very difficult to do as well. I would like all my information removed from their system as well. They gave me agent code 92AOF. Please don't be naive like me! Ask ALL questions upfront and know what exactly you are paying for. I am sure there are so many people who pay the 125 up front and would rather take the loss than trying to get it back. They do not want to give back what was easily taken.World Financial Group

1 star01/19/2023 I paid for the background check because I wanted to join. However, I changed my mind and wanted to canceled my appointment. I contacted WFG to request a refund which in the email they sent back, they accepted the accepted the refund. They were quick to response at the beginning. When I asked when they were going to proceed with the refund they told me my was issued but it went voided. So the offered a mail check which I agree with. But after that I have asked for the update, the vanished, I dont have any answers from them. It has been already two months since my first communication. I want my money back. They have my mail address address. I dont want that. I dont trust this.
