American Income: Scam or Not?

[tattedupboy]

I have a résumé posted on Careerbuilder.com and recently received a call from someone claiming to represent American Income Insurance telling me that they wanted to interview me for a position. I asked what position I'd be interviewing at least three different, but the person to whom I talked never directly answered that question. Long story short, I have an interview scheduled for 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, October 20. I have done a little research on this company, and I gotta tell you, it doesn't look promising. What's even more confusing is that the company itself is legitimate, but what I've been reading about the jobs is that it's a scam. Is anyone else familiar with this?

If it sounds tooooooooooooooo good to be true... then run like heck the other way.
NO FREE LUNCHES.

You think you want to sell life insurance, eh?

You know what they say about salesmen... you can tell they are lying when you see their lips move. :)

Actually, I thought that this quote more accurately described lawyers and politicians.

No, it has never been my dream to sell insurance. This was just the most recent company to respond to my résumé on careerbuilder, so I thought I'd check them out. As I said, I know people who have insurance through them, and the insurance is legitimate. I'm just not sure about the job, though.

Well, remember to keep your eyes open tomorrow and good luck.

I am not unemployed yet, but was informed that it was not looking too good and that they might close the doors soon. Sooooo.. I put my resume on the web also, at Monster.com and have recieved several interests in the same insurance field. This is kind of funny for I am a Registered surveyor in the State of Ohio and do not want to change professions this late in my life. I don't know what these head hunters are thinking.
