It's a pyramid scheme - not a legitimate job offer.  Hang up and block the number.

I met with the guy and nothing to be concerned about. If you get a call from the guy give him some of your time. It's worht learning about it. The company looks good according to the well written reputable stuff on internet, not the free for all blogs and threads

Just got the call and agreed to meet with him on thursday. Let you know how it goes.

Primerica helps people!

Primerica saves lives!!

PRIMERICA ROCKS!!!

Chris Lesch rocks!!!

Primerica has approximately 100,000 licensed people and approximately 6,000,000 clients.  The company is going to get a sizeable amount of crap written about it just from the numbers theory (law of averages).  For example, I know someone who used to work for Telus.  Apparently, about 5% of the Telus customers make up about 95% of the complaints.  Still, if you take 5% of a customer base that massive, it is going to seem like a pretty big deal.

Check out Primerica on YouTube.  You'll see very little negativity on there because those are people who got to "stand by" what they say.  Their faces are on camera.  Start with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbx79v-QzJk.

If you go to: http://www.ripoffreport.com/multi-level-marketing/primerica/investigation-primerica-offer-766j9.htm, you'll see how the people who run the Ripoff Report website actually did an investigation on the comments left on there to conclude that a good part of the crap was left by competitors in disguise and also concluded that the amount of crap writtten is "small" compared to the size of the company.

Primerica is a scam. They want you to pay and then want to pressure you to sell insurance to your family and friends.  Trust me your family and friends will NOT appreciate you giving their info to anyone from this company.  PRIMERICA IS A SCAM!!! All he wants is to gain your trust and then get the names and phone numbers of everyone you know, so he can call them and pressure them to buy insurance.  

PRIMERICA IS A SCAM!!!

This guy is with primerica and is trying to recruit peoplw.  I found this when I searched the company 0-  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbx79v-QzJk.  looks ok and legit.

This guy is an idiot.  He got my number from the Welcome Wagon lady (will never let them in the door again) 15 months ago and he's still calling.  I've never picked up.  Take the hint, dummy!

What I don't understand is why this guy called me at my place of work asking me if I am interested in working for him. Doesn't he realize people could be fired for things like that? I don't know how he got my number, unless he read it on my Skype account somehow, as I only use Skype for work, so that's the only online record of my work phone number. It does sound a little shady that some dude you've never met calls you out of the blue, at work no less, to see if you (a complete stranger) would be interested in working for his company. Not to mention I'm a graphic designer, so I don't see why an investment company would be interested in hiring someone who really has absolutely no experience with money or finances, other than my personal situation of course. Also, I live in south Richmond, near Steveston Hwy and don't have a vehicle, so I'm not sure how I would get all the way up to Coquitlam to work by transit or how long that would take. In fact, I moved to Richmond when my company moved so I wouldn't have to be on transit for four hours a day. I might consider talking to him if he called me at home, instead of at work, as that would be the polite thing to do.

What can I say? he asked me if I was interested, I told him I wasn't, and he moved on. He didn't seem to give my assistant who answered the phone much information before I took the call though. I guess he was being discrete in case my secretary might say something like, "Naomi. Chris Lesh is on the line. It's a business call. Oh, I wasn't aware that you might be looking for other work opportunities." I was ok with the call
http://www.primericabusinessopportunity.com/p ... c-partners.html

Employment scams (where there is *NO* job) include but are not limited to:
1. Victims pay $$$ up front for required crap like uniforms, certification, background check, 1/2 airline ticket, etc.
2. You don't quite qualify for the job but are counseled to go back to school (scammer gets paid on college referral).
3. You are offered an interview and find out later it's a no-salary, commission-only, you-pay-expenses, perhaps-MLM sales job with poor leads.
4. Your job as financial agent is to receive checks, cash them at your own bank, and Western Union cash away (checks will bounce).
5. You give your personal info because you believe you are applying for a real job which can lead to ID theft.
6. You are offered crap that's totally unrelated to looking for a job like surveys, etc. that the caller will earn $$$ on.
REMEMBER -- THERE IS *NO* JOB, I.E., NO SALARIED POSITION.

Nothing to worry about. He showed me thigs career related that I'm interested in.

Hmmm. I got his call and I will be meeting with him this week. I'll let you know how it goes.

I found: http://www.primericabusinessopportunity.com/p ... c-partners.html.  looks pretty legit.

If you get a call frm this guy it's probably a headhunting call for part time or full-time work  options.

"so that's who called me? Ok, I'lll call him back."  That was 2 weeks ago. I met him at Tim Hortons.  People from that company seem to meet people in office and out of office.  I won't disagree with what most piople have written on here.  I really didn't know what to make of him actually.  If I Had to voice an opinion,  I'd say he was well spoken and proper.

I found this  http://bestdistancelearning.info/tag/company-with-most-6-figure-earners
People make good money here and bbb says http://www.bbb.org/atlanta/business-reviews/f ... -duluth-ga-6985

Gave me a call saying he knew my brother in law (mentioned him by first and last name). Told me he was trying to hire someone for a management position and told me he hoped I was the type of person who "kept my ear to the ground for great opportunities" and tried to shmooze me. Told him I wasn't interested. He offered part time work. Who calls someone they don't know offering them a management role without even looking at a resume? I was in the middle of a meeting so I told him I wasn't looking but my bf, who was the BROTHER of this friend of his that supposedly recommended me was home and could talk to him. Apparently he got all nervous and panicky after I passed the phone off, couldn't answer specific questions, etc. He told my bf to "bring his wife" to their office in New West Quay on Monday to talk about career opportunities. That creeped me out and made me wonder what he was planning on doing - abducting me?? He identified as Chris Lesh and his number was 604-339-0806. Looks like he was doing the same thing about a year ago, or at least making up some crap comments about himself on here. He claimed he was with Shaw, and couldn't explain how he knew my bf's brother. He kept saying that his partner was a friend of my bf's brother but couldn't give any names. TOTALLY CREEPY AND SHADY. He asked to come to our apartment and my bf said NOTHIN DOIN. This guy sounds like an abductor. Seriously. This is bad news if I ever heard it.

Got the call to and outa the blue.That chris guy seems to be hirin to many.Don’t like competition.I asked what does it pay.He asks me what I think I’m worth. Tjhat tells me nuttin.I’d stay clear a him. Says his office is in Coquitlam when I live in Tsawwasen.Wizzup with that?!

Work with Chris Lesh (604-339-0806,604-525-0818) if you're ambitious type. no need to overshdow this Tammie.Its all good. I did my proper researsch.  never met Chris in person but when spoke to him on phone, he seemed like a goodd person.He asked me if I looking for work. i turned it down because I’m not really ambitious type.  I’m more of technical kinda guy.

Dennis seems to bee trying to start underground conspirascy network. actually one of my friends told me that this company is scam.my friend is broke so I decided do my reseerch.  

I know that many will right more comments on here trying overshadow my 1 comment but I just askin you to take few seconds to a minute to think about this.  If you were to write a research paper sourcing INTERNET BLOGS, how would you're proffessor probably respond to you after telling him/her that that  is where all of sources came from?would he say something along lines of "shouldn’t facts be backed up by empiracal evidence?" People writin blogs on Internet would never lie, would they? Hmmm...

It may be advantagous for you to call organizations that has sanctioned Primerica financial Services for over decade like 'The Insurance Council of BC' (604-688-0321) who know them as primerica Life and 'The British Columbia Securities Commission'(604-8996500) who know them as PFSL (Primerica Financial Services Limited) Investments Canada and ask them directley "if company is a scam or if they are legitimate".

don’t know if Chris will read this but keep going,Chris!  Dont let people like Dennis dissuade you.

Total shyster. He's a down-and-out, broke schill for a shady MLM / life insurance sales company.

I hate this guy. He's a liar.

Up to this day, I haven't mentioned this collection of blogs to Chris.  I'm assuming that he would know already and wouldn't want him to know otherwise.  Don't get me wrong.  I don't know all the details and I can't exactly speak for him BUT nothing has been mentioned in the comment posted by 'Someone' to indicate that he did anything wrong.  If the Chris that she spoke to works with Shaw then it's a different guy.  Perhaps, the Chris she spoke with gave Chris Lesh's phone number.  Definitely an underhanded tactic but that may be the case.  

If 'Someone' ends up reading this, your reaction seems to ooze paranoia and/or selective hearing.  In regards to Chris asking you to be there with your boyfriend, I understand exactly why he would do that.  I was in the business long enough and have worked in many other companies.  In retail, for example, I would describe a product to a man and no matter how interested he was in the product, his answer would always be: "I'd need to run it by my wife/girlfriend first." or words to that effect and that would be the end of it because the wife/girlfriend didn't hear exactly what he heard.  It's the same idea with presenting a business opportunity.  What's the point of your boyfriend being interested but unable to make a final decision without running it by you?  You would probably just be uninterested when your boyfriend speaks to you because he would be explaining it to you in a piece meal fashion.  All decisionmakers need to be present.  That way, you'll be on the same page and could 'properly' make the decision together.  

Other than that hilarious abduction theory, are people not allowed to call to get a yes or a no or a maybe response regarding interest in work opportunities?  My thinking is that if Chris is doing anything wrong, there would be WAY more negative comments on here because he talks to A LOT of people.  Chris Lesh (604-339-0806, 604-525-0818) is a guy of integrity.

Chris Lesh (604-339-0806 or 604-525-0818) called me from Primerica Canada.  It's a GOOD company.  They've done a lot more for my financial situation than any bank ever do would! He’s an easier person to work with than any boss I’ve ever come across so far.  Also, he’s very suportive.  The company seems to have a non-mainstream approach for hiring people which took me for a spin at first but I guess that doesn’t really matter in long run. If you get a call from him, I think you’d be making mistake if you didn’t check out the work opportunity at the Coquitlem office once before giving a yes or a no.

Also upon further searching it seems all the positive comments about this guy are the EXACT SAME copy and paste on all the "who called me" websites... like someone went around planting them so he could fake someone out.

It's really scary and I'm considering calling the police. So far I can't get a hold of my bf's brother to ask him about it, and I'm wondering if he got abducted by this guy or what?

chris lesh (604)339-0806 talks about what looks like a good company with a favorable track record.i  
looked into the company before trying to make any kind of decision.   here's what i found to check out  http://www.live-pr.com/en/primerica-completes ... r1048432994.htm andhttp://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704486504575098070564793184.html and http://www.marketwatch.com/story/primerica-in ... nk=MW_news_stmp and http://www.bbb.org/ottawa/business-reviews/fi ... ngston-on-19663

also i called the insurance council of bc like someone suggested on heree (604)688-0321.  this company is registered with the council to distributute insurance.
i called the bc securities commission (604)899-6500 and there also registered with the commission to distribute securities.http://www.bcsc.bc.ca/Search/Results.asp?s=primerica#.
i called the better business bureau just in case (604)682-2711. the bbb gives primerica at 25 king edward st, coquitlam a b rating on a scale of a+ down to an f. the person said they they don't have a rating higher than a b because there isn't enough sufficient information.no complaints in the past 3 years.their rcords only go back 3 years. that primerica building isn't a member of the bbb but they said that that doesn't mean anything good or bad and that alot of good companies aren't members.  
i'm going to give this business a shot.  with what i found, i don't know why some people are writing crap on here about the company or chris. do people enjoy announcing negative stuff whether its true or not more than they enjoy announcing  positive stuff?

You may want to look at the other comment that I left above.  

Faiora, I don?t know if you?ll be reading this but if you had actually met Chris, worked with him, and spent a month or two working in the company, do you think that your present opinion might significantly change?  It?s like you?re looking at a building from the outside, you don?t like the looks of it, you don?t like the looks of the inside looking through the windows, but you haven?t yet gone inside the building to get the full truth and find out for yourself.

I never knew that pyramid schemes traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).  Pyramiding financial services?  I guess they would have been put out of business a long time ago if that were the case.  I noticed a comment from Pejman above and he made a good point.  Call The Insurance Council of BC (604-688-0321) and ask them directly if Primerica is legitimate.

It is ok to be skeptical except that you may want to ask yourself if and how skepticism has played a role in getting you to where you want to go in life.  In other words, of all the successes that you?ve had, which ones can skepticism take the credit for?

You mentioned that your resume has no relevance to financial services.  Does that automatically mean that you can?t do a good job working in it?  Primerica Canada fully trains people.  Of all the people who went to war and performed well on the battlefield, do you think that they all had military experience prior to that?

This last suggestion also applies to me.  Maybe we should all prove to ourselves and any one else who may be looking at this page that we have other/better things to do with our time than write comments about a good man who sometimes uses non-mainstream approaches to recruit people.

Chris Lesh has also called me.  I have not returned his call as of yet, mostly due to comments above and elsewhere.  

It is startlingly apparent, from even the "positive" comments here, that this company is operating on a type of pyramid scheme, "recruiting" clients, then offering them a chance to work for the company, and "recruit" more clients.  Understandably this type of company would dislike competition.

Chris' message on my voicemail mentioned that he found my resume on monster.com.  My resume is posted there, however my qualifications are in the engineering field, and have little relevance to financial services of any kind.  

I am skeptical at best.
