It was after that when I realized I wasn’t just going to be selling insurance, but I had to recruit too.

I paid the fee to join and signed the paperwork. The promises of easy financial freedom, 100% guidance from my upline, free promotional gifts, friendly coworkers, and paid group vacations sounded so good. It’s always a sob story that poor people can relate to, the “I started from nothing but WFG called to me” type of story.

It even showed the members of WFG who makes 100k-1mil along with their success stories. The slideshow presentation shows many graphs and promises on how we can get rich and retire early. In that room, there was a presenter speaking about how great WFG is, and the financial freedom it offers. The event starts, and all the new folks were rushed into a separate room from the WFG members. You probably have a good idea on what types of people they target: people who are desperately looking for money. Amongst those people were young university students like myself, immigrants, and low-wage workers like Uber drivers. There is a lobby full of WFG members(who were all a little TOO nice), as well as people who’s never heard of WFG (like myself). I agree because I trust him even though we are not that close. At the hangout he told me about an amazing job/financial opportunity and asked me to come to the next meeting with him. High school friend invited me to a hangout. This is 100% a scam and a pyramid scheme. This is my experience with WFG World Financial Group.
