Description

My daughter, 18, was referred to “Primerica” by a friend who said the company was offering financial internships. A man named Edward interviewed her virtually and stressed that she could make $1,000 a week but did not provide specifics. He was flattering and said she was hired based on her personality, which was way more important than her experience (none). He said she would move on to the next level. In a subsequent remote interview, another man again did not specify her job requirements but asked her to send $100 for certification and background check. My daughter is 18 and yes, naive. She bank transferred the amount. He then told her to refer 2 friends for this amazing internship. She stopped and suspected this is a pyramid scheme of some sort. It seems Edward and Co are targeting teenagers. Please put a stop to this. Thank you
