I want to know if World Financial Group (WFG), which claims to be a Multi-level marketing company which sells investment, insurance, and other financial products through a network of distributors is a pyramid scheme scam. I know WFG is active in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico and is owned by Transamerica, a subsidiary of Aegon.

People claim that World Financial Group is a scam because of the way it sells insurance. The claims of WFG being a scam is mostly related to the “business opportunity” offered to salespeople, and the over-hyping of financial products.Recruits are known as “associates” and pay $100 as a joining/”administrative” fee. Former associates have reported stories of being pressured to sell overpriced products to friends and family, burning those bridges. They have also reported the WFG recruits associates just to tap into that personal network, and not because the associate is fit for the business.
