If I could give 0 stars I would. I signed up yesterday (on 11/28/2022) after being constantly pressurized by my recruiter. Today my independent research is telling me that the business was a pyramid scheme and that the products were not what was described to me. Because of the significant misrepresentation and misleading information I received, I have submitted my resignation and I am requesting that you refund me the $125 application fee. My agent code was 91GMD.

This company is a scam!! They ask you to pay out of pocket 150 and than practically lie about the sudden charge when getting a background check. They could do a whole lot better but their communication is horrible, and if you opt out they ignore you. I have requested a refund 3 TIMES now and each time they ignored my claim. Horrible horrible company.World Financial Group

Hello,
Our record showing a termination request submitted by you was successfully processed.
WFGIA also offers a business opportunity to those interested in becoming insurance licensed agent. A background is required for the qualification of our agents in the nature of financial services being provided. And people interested in this business model must understand the cost of doing business with some out-of-pocket expenses including cost of pre-licensing education courses, exam fees, state licensing fees, renewal fees and E&O insurance.
We are sorry that this opportunity did not work for you. We wish you well in your future endeavors.

Easily one of the best decisions I have ever made. As a client, I could not have enjoyed more the financial plan this company built for me as I transitioned from the Army. It completely allayed my fears while giving me access to financial platforms I thought I would never qualify for.Six months after I received my plan I found myself looking for a new career, and asked for an interview. Very pleased to say I passed! As a hard worker with an independent spirit, this business has been perfect for me. I used to be negative, money was tight, and I was forced to live a small life. Now I get as much time with my family and friends as I want, I'm on track to make more money than anyone in my family ever has, and I have FREEDOM. Thank you WFG!World Financial Group

Do not do business with them. They are big scammer and lyers. They will not tell the truth and pressure you to sign in for a lucrative job opportunity. They will ask you to pay a $125 fees and all the other hidden fees will not be disclosed up front. be aware of the business scam. I had my experience with them and now alerting those who can be scammed by them. Becareful and do not pay for any fees despite the pressuring effort from the marketers. They can do better. People deserve a lot from their money. It does not matter what location they operate on. Stay away from World Financial Group Insurance Agency or WFGIA **** and they will tell you that they to with Transamerica insurance.World Financial Group

1 starIf I could give them 0 stars I would. This is 100% a pyramid scheme, they call themselves financial advisors! That's complete BS they grab people off the street with no education, no sales experience, and no clue about what they do. ***'s for everything, no training, lose all relationships with your family and friends, cause WFG is your new family and you do what this cult tells you to do and burn every other relationship you have. Don't waste your time or money if you want to get into the financial world go to school do it the proper way.Review fromLemar W

I was tricked by my coworker into joining WFG. Total scam. I only fell for it because I thought my trusted colleague was intelligent and trustworthy. But once she mentioned $400 of extra fees for licensing I knew right then and there that this was a pyramid scheme. There are ******* videos and articles available that reveal this organization as a scam. Hey WFG, if you are reading this I demand that you give back my $125.

Hello *****,
Our record showing you have already resigned and a refund has been issued.
WFGIA offers a business opportunity to those interested in becoming insurance licensed agent. It takes a willingness to learn and a commitment to build business with some out-of-pocket expenses like you mentioned. Such expense includes cost of pre-licensing education courses, exam fees and state licensing fees etc; which is paid to the State of Insurance Department and training vendors in obtaining insurance license. It is required by law and It is one of agents' most important responsibilities to be legally and properly authorized to sell insurance products.
Insurance agents are expected to fulfill certain legal, professional, and ethical duties for clients and the firms they represent. Our ******+ independent agents across ************* provide their clients with access to financial products and services from reputable insurance providers, as well as assist with education and retirement planning to help clients build better futures.
We understand this is not the type of opportunity for you. We wish you well in your future endeavors.

I am very grateful that I joined World Financial Group. I attended a business presentation and I loved the overview information that I heard about how money works and how I can earn extra income aside from my job. I didnt feel any pressure or taken advantaged of when I decided to be part of the company and paid the $100 for background check and admin set up of my business. I did researched about the company after I joined because I read a lot of complaints or bad reviews and I found out that the *** and its agents is a very highly regulated industry by the states department of insurance aside from other non-government regulatory bodies such as NAIC. They are connected with known and huge financial institutions like insurance and investment companies and banks. All their agents are required to be licensed and compliant with trainings and CEUs required by each state they want to transact businesses. I benefited from the free financial education workshops that I attended after joining as well as from the trainings and conventions to become successful in the business as measured by the number of families I helped to get financially educated and build a sound personal finance strategies. I myself has peace of mind that my familys future is secured. I paid off my credit card debts and auto loan. I can save more money for retirement and saved up 6months of my salary for emergency fund. I can now send money to my parents in *************** without waiting for my next paycheck. Two of my clients have already received critical illness benefit from their life insurance, money that was thousand folds of what they have invested and it helped them get through with their worst times. *** gave me the opportunity to help other people make extra stream of income as agents enabling them to save for their future, pay off debt and have freedom of time to spend with their families. I have a plan B source of income already if I can no longer work as a nurse, Thank you ***.World Financial Group
