Called me yesterday, left me a message saying "My name is Tamir Grossman form primerica in finance" He said he was a vice president - I am on the Not to be called list and I called the primerica office in Ontario-they said this guy was not a vice president, but a partner of the company's vice president. He spoke so fast  sounded shifty. Will do more research and post more.

Wow!

I just returned to this site.  It needs to be known, publically, that Tamir "scam" Grossman opperates as follows:

He or his 'partner' will call you.

If you don't show up he will YELL at you.

If you decide to show he will ask you for $105 to 'join' his team.

He will charge your credit card $30 a month for nothing!

He will ask you to make a list of EVERYONE you know.

He will attempt (poorly) to sell LIFE INSURANCE to all your friends an Family.

He will NOT STOP CALLING OR TEXTING!

You will lose friendships because he is abusive.

You will eventually quit, and be upset.

I lost $500 because of this clown.

Let's make sure no one else falls prey to this monkey - I suggest everyone post/repost and we nail this fraudster to the wall!

Someone posted above claiming to be me. It's not me. I don't know this Tamir guy. I've asked Primerica to take me off their calling list. I know a scam when I hear one...and now when I see one.

im sure hes a good guy...just make sure everyone understands its a business notna job.

This Tamir guy is a scammer. Got a call from him, immediately checked the internet, and found this thread. Case closed!.

I know a pyramid scheme when I see one. In high school I went to a presentation and it all seemed shady. A lot of kids and naive people desperate for work. This company takes advantage of people more than provides a service for them. If they're willing to hire just anybody to give financial advice to people, that should be an indication that this isn't a properly run company. I also find it fishy that "Carlos V" and "Mike V" (oddly with the same last initial) speak so highly of the company. It's absolute [***].

If you get a call from this number, be warned and informed that this is a sleazy pyramid scheme, not a genuine job interview.  Even the Primerica website admits in the fine print that their average agent makes just over $5000 a year!

I, too, fell victim to this scam known as Primerica. It all started one day when I was soundly sleeping in my bed when an unknown number called my cell phone and left me a voice mail. I listened to the voice mail and could even hardly make out the name of the company from which the guy said he was calling. In the voice mail, he asked if I was still looking for employment.

As a recent college graduate desperate to find a job in this sluggish economy, I gladly called back and set up an interview. So I met with the guy who was to become my "field trainer" or whatever and he explained to me what I would be doing. As a journalism major in college, I hadn't the slightest clue or interest in selling insurance, which is what I got out of the interview. But being desperate to work, I agreed to a second interview, and the really weird part is that he asked me if I wanted to meet at the local office or if I wanted him to come to my house (strange).

I always felt really pressured when I met with him, and I found it strange the way he always had me write down names of people who I knew. He told me that there was a $99 fee but that if I didn't have it, I could do a "scholarship" program to where I go with my field trainer on three "successful" interviews with prospective buyers/victims in my "warm market" (people close to me - friends and family) to waive the $99 fee, which is what I chose to do.

So we went on several interviews to houses of people I knew and the whole process just seemed a little strange to me. I found it weird how I wasn't participating (I would just sit at the kitchen table watching him explain all this information to my friends who were just as confused as me) and how he always left papers with everyone and asked them to fill out names of people they knew. Even to customers who didn't or wasn't interested in the whole process, he would constantly call me and ask if I had gotten the list of names. Finally after the third client, my field trainer just stopped calling me and that's when I knew that I had been scammed. I could tell from the beginning that it was a little strange and didn't seem like a real job, but being the desperate unemployed college graduate that I am, I accepted.

I feel absolutely embarrassed to have to tell my friends that it was a scam and I am constantly apologizing to them for putting them through this and for giving out their personal financial information to these crooks at Primerica. These cronies are a weird bunch as well. My field trainer told me that I needed to go to the weekly meetings which were every Tuesday night and this was during the summer and Tuesday nights were volleyball nights for me so I rarely showed up and just made excuses as to why I wasn't there.

The few meetings that I went to were absolute repeats of one another. The same people got up in the same order and talked about the same old stuff - about how great Primerica was and how it's changed their lives, etc. I spent the entire time asking myself, "What am I doing here with these scammers?" To top it off, my field trainer told me that I needed to go to a regional meeting in St. Louis, which was the biggest joke and waste of time of my entire life. All of these Primerica people are the most brainwashed and ridiculous-acting people I've ever met. I thought to myself that it was just a big cult. To anyone who comes into contact with these people, I would say hang up the phone or slam the door immediately before they lure you in before it's too late. I made no money but lost no money either. The only thing I lost was some respect among my friends and a great deal of time that I could have spent looking for other jobs.

Think long and hard before you deal with Primerica. My 17 year old son's 'friend' told him he had a good job interview for him today. My son came home after an hour telling me he doesn't have to go away to college in six weeks. That the company told him he can make loads of money.
After hearing all their promises, my son's idea was to stay home, attend a local college part time & work for Primerica full time.
Can you imagine people that would 'scam' a kid into believing this! He is only 17 years old, I saw the contract papers he signed, and he also gave them the $99 to run a so called background check on him.
I worked long and hard for my son to get good grades and to be accepted into good colleges & just paid a large tuition to the college last week.
Honestly, I was trying to stay calm and talk some sense into my son, but I became hysterical crying.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Also the fact that these people would have a person, under the age of 18, sign a binding contract!
I waited for my husband to get home and we drove to the office. I admit, I was loud, demanding my son's money back & the original papers that he signed. I was told to 'keep it down,' I didn't.
I kept repeating how they took money & made promises to a 17 year old. Reminding them that you have to be at least 18 to sign any kind of contract papers.
I told them I was sure it was a pyramid scam, & how I was sure that my son's friend got a commission for having my son sign up and give $99.
The man there kept saying he didn't sign up my son, and would have to find out who signed him up.
Long story short, he said the man was out on an appointment & I should come back tomorrow morning for my son's money and the contract papers my son signed.
We shall see what happens tomorrow.
Also, from the comments on web sites, I know that you have to approach and annoy family members and friends to make deals for this company. There are many risks involved with the investments.
How can people live with themselves knowing they can destroy a family member or friend financially. My son has his whole future ahead of him, and they could have destroyed that.
I guess I can go on and on, but how desperate is a company that they would con a 17 year old?

I am not just angry, I am furious. My boyfriend and I went to a Primerica meeting as an invitation from a friend's brother. We enjoyed the presentation, and told them we were interested in joining the company. We are young, in college, and thought, "hey, a cool job offer!" They were extremely, unnaturally excited for us to join. This is because by manipulating us and convincing us to work for the company, they got promoted. Basically, the people they hire are not employees, they are just young adults who they require convince their family and friends to use Primerica. By doing so, they get a sale, and the people who hire you get promoted. You are nothing to them. You are just another sale.

So, after realizing this after the FIRST ORIENTATION, we told them we were no longer interested and went on our way. However, it turns out that they have been calling our employee references (which they required TEN personal references) behind our backs, saying that we personally recommended them for Primerica. What a great company. Way to take advantage of two 19 year olds. You go.

Nice try, Tamir. This guy is such a scammer and the world knows it.

Here's the truth: Tamir Grossman was fired by Primerica on October 24 2017.

Check the Ontario Securities Commission database you will see he's no longer licensed http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/en/Dealers_registrant-search_index.htm.

On the other hand his brother Tal is the real deal and has been in the industry for over 15 years and runs one of the fastest growing offices for Primerica in the GTA. Look up Tal Grossman Primerica. Don't be tricked by his faker brother Tamir. Not everyone at Primerica is bad only have to do your research.

Everyone knows the above comment was from Brandon or Karen or Emman or Phil. All disgruntled because Tamir worked harder than you. Leave Tamir alone. Don’t bring his brother into your anger to try to spite Tamir. He’s left the company-leave it at that. Part of why he left we’re because of the people I mentioned in this post. Everyone needs to move on and simply allow the past to be the past. The post from “David K” is clearly written to anger Tamir and try to bait him into writing a hateful response and start slandering both Primerica and his brother-but Tamir is smarter than that and wants nothing to do with any of this. Odds are whoever wrote the above comment is just an internet troll hiding behind fake names and wanting to further the battles in Tamir’s life.
All of us wish Tamir the best in all he does in the future. He worked very hard and did a lot of good in the years he was with Primerica.

This is weird because I met with Tamir and he has nothing to do with this PrimeAmerica company. This should be posted where the person who calls is from that company no? As the information about this number is false. What does everyone think?

Funny that when you google "Tamir Grossman Scam" this website comes up! This character used to work for Primerica based in Toronto. Supposedly he was fired for a variety of reasons. If any person or client want to follow a joke of a representative like this both you and your finances are doomed. The above post was undoubtedly written by him. Rumour is that this guy has made his earning on fast talking people into high commission sales. Like most of the industry scum he's probably at a new company with little to no regulation turning over old clients in hopes that he can recommission these poor unsuspecting people. Like David K said above, this sleezeball isn't even securities licensed! It's just a matter of time before history catches up with a guy like this.
Avoid. Avoid. Avoid! Let's do some research and find out what firm he's dredging people from now.
