Agent support and E&O updates are terrible opening cases to get matters resolved can sometimes take up to a month without resolution just beyond unacceptable agent support.

Bad experience

I was recruited into World Financial Group (WFG) and paid $157.50 to join as an associate. I was told I’d receive mentorship and training, but the responsibilities, licensing process, and overall expectations were not properly explained to me upfront. Within just a few days of signing up, I realized the opportunity was nothing like what was described. I immediately requested a refund first in January 2024, and again recently but WFG has completely ignored my messages. Their contract says nothing about the fee being non-refundable, and I never used any of their services or accessed any training. Still, they refuse to refund the money or even respond. I’ve now filed a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau. In my opinion, this company operates in a misleading way that takes advantage of people looking for better opportunities. Be very cautious before giving them any money and ask everything in writing before signing up.

I was approached about an IT-related opportunity with World Financial Group (WFG) while I was a student looking for part-time work in Canada. Initially, I was told that if I had basic computer knowledge or an IT background, I’d be a good fit. This sounded like a great opportunity for someone just starting out. After contacting them, I was connected with someone named Tejaswi Sindhuri, who said she worked under an agency within WFG. On the second day, her boss also joined a call and explained the business model again — which sounded more like financial services and recruiting than IT work. Soon after, they asked me to pay a fee to create a WFG account, supposedly to start learning their process. I paid, thinking I was being onboarded into a legitimate opportunity. But what followed raised serious red flags: I was given a script and told to contact my friends and family to see if they needed insurance. I was pressured to make calls and bring others into the system. The original claim about an "IT role" turned out to be completely misleading. At this point, I realized it was not a tech job at all, but more of a recruitment-driven, sales-based model, where you're encouraged to bring others in and sell insurance — not what I signed up for. I refused to continue. This experience felt like a trap, especially targeting students or newcomers who are eager for work. I would strongly advise others to do thorough research before getting involved, especially if you’re asked to pay upfront or are being pressured to recruit others

WFG is a multi-level-marketing scam. Current employees will try to recruit you, but in the end, going after financial freedom is like chasing a carrot on a fishing line. Everything about it screams "gambler's fallacy". Stay far away.

By far the worst business experience ever. Besides being misled by the recruiter (saying I wouldn't need to approach my warm or cold market, which ended up being incorrect), TRY FINDING A PHONE NUMBER on WFG's website. None. Imagine being as large as they are and NO PHONE# on your website?! Then, when I decided to quit them, and told my sponsor this, I got a reply to call a 770#. I did but the menu didn't have any options to terminate. Finally, after fooling around with the menu on the number provided, it let me in but since I had already sent an email to cancel, it would NOT let me continue but hung up on me. THEN, I get a letter by email threatening me because I owed $75? Never invoiced to me, but apparently I did owe it. TRIED TO CALL AND PAY, it hung up on me. TRIED TO LOG IN TO AGENT SITE, said "Sorry, you no longer exist." The height of unprofessionalism. Don't walk but RUN from this company IF you like to communicate. I give 99% 5-star reviews and this is the 1st one in a very long time that is negative so I am NOT a negative complaining person, just the opposite, UNLESS you do things like what World Financial Group (WFG) did to me. So sad.

I have been asked to meet with two guys who were originally from third world countries. One of them works at Lifetime Products in Clearfield, UT. That sounded very weird. They do not seem very bright.

Horrible company to buy a Transamerica Life annuity from. The company is owned by Transamerica, but when there is an issue on the annuity policy, Transamerica is like well you bought it from an outside agent (not very outside if he works for a company owned by Transamerica). Anyway, I just redeemed an annuity that was invested in Transamerica Secure Retirement Index. After five years it yielded the paltry amount of .156 per cent. Yes that is the small percentage of ONE per cent. With a Secure Retirement Index Annuity like that, you better have some better income sources. Making matters worse, once the agent found out I was not going to invest more, or give him names and numbers of friends for referrals, he was done with me.
