      Please kindly terminate my pending account and dispose of my personal identifiable information. I received misrepresentation and misleading information and I am requesting that you refund me the $125 application fee and delete/shred my personal information (PII). My agent code was: 95SSR

      Hi, I am posting this to warn people to NOT work for this company. Do not waste your money. I use to work for WFG back in 2016/2017. I had not real issues then. I left the insurance industry for awhile. After a battle with breast cancer and the covid epidemic I needed to find a work from home opportunity. I decided to go back into the insurance industry. I was appointed with another company and have been here for approximately 1.5 years. I have found a new opportunity and submitted my paperwork. I was then told that I have a vector one balance that was reported from WFG. So of course i tried to contact the company to get more info etc. That is when the trouble started. I cannot get through the automated phone system because I am no longer an agent with them. I have to have an WFG active agent number. When i log in to my old portal. The only thing it says is to pay. No amount, no name, no anything, just a pay button. How do i know how much to pay? How do i know its valid? Why am i just hearing about this? I was appointed to another company less than 2 months ago, so it took 6/7 years to report? I was only given an email to contact someone named *********************************. It been over a week and she till has not responded to my 3 emails. I made a BBB complaint and ************************* called me and seemed helpful initially. She has now since disappeared. No return calls, no return emails. I was told that coming back into the business with THEM would be the only answer. That is a pay another ****** then get THEIR E&O ins, (I already have E&O) but I would need theirs, then and only then would i be able to get some answers or some resolution to the issue. This is extortion and a poor way to do business. They literally will not speak with me UNLESS I am an active agent. I know for a fact that ******************** has spoken to other people but never made an attempt o respond to 1 email. Not ONE! Save yourself the headache. STAY AWAY! Much better companies out there.

      Hi, I am posting a review of ************************* Bookkeeping since he has given me the absolute worst service I have ever experienced in my professional career.**** was hire me to do the books for my business. He charged me $300/month to do payroll, and keep track of all finances/PST account etc.To cut a long long story very short- we paid him $1100 total, and not a single item of work was completed that he agreed to in our contract. When we asked for our QuickBooks online account that he has been working on all year- he said there was a technical problem and that he couldnt get a hold of anyone to fix it. It took months for him to transfer over this QBO account, which had NOTHING in it. He didnt even have an account set up for us- even dropped off a *** drive after 3 months of requesting my own information. The *** drive had NOTHING on it. Just another stalling tactic.After 3 months of trying to get my own business information from *************************, I told him I no longer wanted to do business with him since he messed up our payroll every time he did it- not to mention being late consistently and our staff was paid days later than they shouldve been because of his wreckless errors. We had to take over and do the payroll ourselves.I asked for a refund of our services of $1100 and hired a new bookkeeper who also tried contacting ************************* in regards to the money he owed us. He has been saying the check is in the mail for over a month now. He told the new bookkeeper that he would cover the costs for her to re do our entire books from 2021-present. He is now ignoring her as well as me. I gave him weekly warnings that I would go to the internet if he did not make this right. He has had months to correct his mistake and pay to cover the cost of the new bookkeeper- which he even agreed to do without me asking. He called her on his own and offered to pay for 50% of the ongoing bookkeeping fees. Now he is just ignoring all communication so I will be taking him to court

      Full disclosure. I am an agent with WFG. I feel bad for the people that have had bad experiences. However, I will say that it is not a scam or it wouldn't exist and we wouldn't have the privilege of working with some of the best companies in the industry. The $125 is not refundable because that is for the background check and for the process of adding people to the system. All other costs are not charged by WFG. WFG has done great things for my family and has allowed me to help others protect and build wealth for their families.

      Zero stars if there is an option. I was approached by my long-time co-worker and friend. However, due to this mischievous conduct she presented to me, we are now no longer friends. First, she was unable to answer my simple questions about the basic financial products of this company; well, if you or your loved one are looking for a mentor in the financial world, this is not a place for you. Second, their pick-up got me interested; "you could help a lot of elderly Americans." So, I asked her, by what? We had a long conversation, but none of that quite answered me. However, when I went and conducted further background checks of the company, it seemed nothing wrong with it. I check everything about who you are going to work for as you prepare yourself before the interview, etc. as well as check the court cases via trusted sources. i.e., *********************************************************************************** However, after all this research. I am no longer interested. I called the company, but the phone kept ringing. So, I contacted my former friend, she advised me to call her upline. I did finally get a hold of her upline. His response was cold and seemed to rush (as if I was interrupting him with some silly matters), "I will not receive a refund." Well, I went to my bank, made a report, and got my money back. ****** learned I lost my friend.*****, beware of who you deal business with. If you are interested to work in the financial industry, there is plenty of opportunities, and many channels whether you go attend college or university. Go through the steps and apply for well-known companies as a trainee to get experience. By applying for a job, look for companies that truly value your talent, train you, and treat you right as well as your base pay, compensation pay, retirement plan, convalescence pay, healthcare, etc. You are an asset of the company, you should get paid on your qualifications, and/ or experience.

      I was approached by a recruiting agent who introduce me to the World financial group on June 02,2023. All the information was presented to me via a Zoom call. After the call, I provided my personal information to sign up and become an associate. I paid $125 for the membership, $ 29 for a course as well as $63 for a test. After researching the World financial group, I discover it was a scam. I decided not to proceed with the company, and ask for a refund. I was told by the recruiting agent that I can't get a refund. I am so disappointed, and I need my money back as well as my info erased from the World Financial Group system. My agent code is 94 ZXH. I even called my bank to dispute all the charges, but I had no success in doing that.

      I would like a reimbursement for my 125, please My agent number is 94WLJ. Got rushed into the entire ordeal very quickly and was barely given any real explanation for what it was the company was. It was spun to me like like I would learn life skills and obtain classes at a discount to build my own business. Not become a literal sales rep. ***** bells started going off when they were pushing for immediate, expensive trips abroad and 'adding' to the team.

      I would like a to request a refund of my $125 platform fee that I paid to enroll in this company. This organization is a pyramid scheme and the terms were bot properly explained to me before signing the contract. I would also like all my personal information associated with the company to be erased.

      Great company with a lot of great individuals in business. Theres a few people who say its a pyramid scheme but seems they are confused between what a pyramid scheme and mlm are. I believe they need to do their research and know the benefits of a mlm. This company has done nothing besides help me!
