Anyone looking up this number should really start at the oldest comment here from over a month back and work their way through to the newest. If you bought insurance through this firm, I’d recommend ringing the insurance provider yourself to check if the policy is legitimate. Even if it is, that doesn’t mean it’s suitable for your needs, especially when it comes to trusts or named beneficiaries. On top of that, be cautious if you used their will drafting or funeral plan services, as they might not deliver what you think they will!

I noticed that the green comment was posted around 3am UK time. About a month ago, there were two red flagged warning posts on here explaining how to handle this obvious con. Loads of bogus life insurance scams get reported on this site - it’s quite a sneaky trick. Most people don’t realise they’ve been scammed until it’s far too late! It reminds me of those fake bargain will-writing offers going around at the moment too. Just be cautious out there!

Watch out, this has scam written all over it! If you look at the green messages on this thread, it’s pretty clear. The red comments explain how to handle these dodgy calls. Also, never agree to any budget life insurance offers that come through on the phone late at night, like those two calls listed around 10 pm in the green posts below.

Don't fall for this, it's clearly a con. Just look at all the green comments underneath - they’re probably all from the same idiot scammer. Make sure to report any dodgy calls like the ones mentioned in the red flagged comments. Remember, scammers are really good at putting up fake sites and fake reviews, so always double and triple check any info you find online. There’s even a red flagged comment below that explains where to get legit life insurance advice from a pro.

Take a glance at the comments here regarding this company before you decide anything. If you're after guidance on life insurance, best to reach out to an insurance broker near you who actually knows their stuff. To find trustworthy brokers, have a look at the British Insurance Brokers Association site and see if there are any members in your area. When it comes to your insurance, you'd want to stick with a proper life and pensions firm that's part of the Association of British Insurers and has a solid, long-standing presence in the UK market.
