I got that phone call too, , the girl on the other line screwed up the company name twice when I asked her because I didn't hear the name of the company the first time & I can clearly tell she was reading from a pre written script, and reading it a little too fast & wanted to schedule an interview and sounded like if I didn't schedule it right then and there, I'd lose out. , , Then I decided to do a little investigating to find it is a scam I can't even find an address for there Farmingdale location. While Yes I am looking for another job, No I'm not in a rush to jump in with potential scam artists, or find out that the job position is not for me and be screwed for leaving my current job. . .I'm being extra careful because I can't afford to be unemployed, I own a home & want to make sure If I find a new job its one I'm going to be happy with and earn enough to cover my mortgage & living expenses. I don't know much about Life insurance, but what I do know is there are a lot of scam companies that screw over a lot of hard working people, and screw their employees once they get caught. I have more than one type of experience, , Administrative, Auditing, & security/loss prevention detective.-continuing education & training.
It appears to be the contact number of a representative from "Theo Pappas Agency" calling to possibly invite you to come and work for their company. I just got a call, said they found my resume "posted on Monster.com" and "feel I am a good candidate for a position." (I, personally, can't yet verify whether or not this is legit agency, etc.)
Just spotted this posting on another WHO CALLED ME listing: "They call you under false pretense of offering you a job in management and than they tell you that you will meet with the manager of the compnay, but when you go for the interview, not only do you not see the person you are suppose to see, but u get conned into one of their cronies and their pathetic "make six figures a year" sales pitch of becoming a commission based sales person that has to cough up 500 dollars for their training sessions...a big waste of time with a LYING SCAMMING COMPANY." Seems like it may be an accurate description. I found it a bit odd that I cant quickly find a website for company as was described, and i'm also pondering whether or not they had already tried to contact me before.

I got a call from them and I did not even know about it since I do not make a habit out of answering calls I do not recognize. Anyway I called them back and actually went to the initial interview which was rather odd since on the way there I totally blew past the building in Farmingdale NY. Once I figured out the correct building it was completely dark inside and there was barely even a company sign. Eventually I saw a paper sign in the window (just leaning against the window) and that was how I figured out they were an Insurance Company. I was a bit early so I waited out in the car so that I was not just showing up early. I finally decided to go inside and the door was still locked at five minutes prior to the interview. I have to say that was a bit odd especially since I was not even 100% sure I had the right building since it looked like a vacant warehouse. Once inside things just moved very quickly from initial so called interview to the sales pitch which lasted for 30 minutes or longer. I listened with full attention trying to be open minded and then when it was over went up and shook hands and said thanks and then left. Meanwhile before leaving in the back of my mind I thought that I heard one of the guys mention that they would be calling 3 people back by 8 or 9 pm that evening and to circle the best number to contact you at if you were to be called. Needless to say they called me (I am sure everyone in that room received a call that evening) and I was rather surprised at how fast they made their decision to offer the position to me. This was the strangest interview I have ever attended in my entire life. Now I was still on board until after getting the call that evening and speaking with one of the guys that was there that morning. The thing that pushed me over was his insistence on me checking out the web sites that they gave us while delivering the sales pitch. Why are they so insistent on us checking out these web pages? Long story short, I did check them out but decided to check out some of the other stuff that appeared too. I had said I will be there for the third interview and after seeing all of this I will be far away from that place with my money securely in my bank and not theirs. Not Born Yesterday.
