I have received numerous calls from this number.  There is never anyone there.

Caller ID says caller is Thrivent, same name as my life insurance company; but no message is left, and Thrivent doesn't call me unless I have called them asking a question.
If it really was Thrivent, they would have left a message; so it's obviously not an accurate caller id description.

These calls are from Thrivent, which is a large insurance company.  They cold call folks and run a scam in which they promise a "free financial review" which is nothing more than an insurance sale in disguise.  They say they are "financial planners" when they are really insurance salesmen.  Other companies like MetLife and State Farm run the same scam.  Don't let these folks into your home.  They will typically target older folks and just keep calling over and over.

I've been getting these calls too.  I have policies with Thrivent, but you think they would leave a message.  Maybe I will catch one of these calls and settle it.

Several call over the past three weeks.  If I answer (I usually don't) the caller identifies herself as calling on behalf of Thrivent and I'm asked to take a brief survey (I decline).  Last time I asked to be removed from the list immediately.   I have still received several calls in since then.  Because I do have a policy w/them, I don’t think the Do Not Call rules are applied in the same was as to companies with which I have no business.  Nonetheless, this does not reflect well on Thrivent.

The reason people are getting repeated calls is that companies such as Thrivent use a technique called "reloading" in which they continually call people who have fallen for a previous scam.  This typically targets older folks and preys upon those who have been tricked before while in search of legit products and services.  Companies comprise lists of potential victims and then forward them to a more experienced group of telemarketers for additional calls.  Companies are allowed to call folks they do business with, but customers are also allowed to say they do not wish to be contacted or to limit how they are contacted.  Again, when these large insurance companies call for a "financial review" do not allow them into your home.  They are insurance telemarketers, not financial planners.  It's a lot easier to tell them "NO" the first time than to try to get your money back later in court. Judges do order restitution, but collection of those amounts can be difficult.

Found this call to be totally on the Up-and-UP.  It was a survey which we gladly complied to as Thrivent is a very high quility company

My family has had insurance policies with Thrivent all our lives. It's an excellent company with good products. In the beginning they sold only insurance, but they now also offer investment planning free for their policy holders. One of the many services we received was excellent advice about buying long term care insurance. On our own we would have over bought (a common mistake), but our agent/planner  advised us on what we would need and the best buy. Yes, they do suggest their products to help you plan financially, but that's the norm and to be expected.  But they never tried to sell us something we didn't need or were already thinking of buying. Thrivent is a fraternal group giving money to many charities, they aren't on the stock exchange and...they are financially very, very stable.

High Quility! That's good to no! I'm sew glad I red that. It makes me feel bitter.

I see that Thrivent's recent Chairman, President and CEO Bruce Nicholson has donated thousands of dollars -- the maximum allowed by law -- to Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann's recent reelection campaigns. Maybe this is where some of those extra premium charges go at Thrivent -- they are one of the most expensive investment firms with huge loads that Lutheran retirees pay. I just want to thank Thrivent's President Nicholson and all those hardworking insurance agents at Thrivent for helping us end collective bargaining in Wisconsin -- now let's go break some more unions! Thrivent is open for more business in Wisconsin! Now let's go make more money off poor old Lutherans. Praise the Lord and the Republican party.
