Lauro Herrera Vargas does not belong in the Insurance Business

[Achieve]

I paid Lauro Herrera for $15,000 worth of leads that I never received. He hasn't refunded me. On top of that, he "brokered" leads from another call center and was sending the leads from them to my company. Well, the call center was never paid and they reached out to me for $15,000 of compensation. I paid them in full. He also scammed me for $2,000 worth of callback leads that I never received.

I've spent $5,000 on lawyers and have still had no progress. Please for the love of god DO NOT do business with this scammer.

This all happened at the end of last year and with all damages, refunds, unreceived services, attorney fees, etc I am close to -$100k on this. I am contacting the FTC on Monday please wish me luck. If you'd like to track our lawsuit against Lauro, it's linked below.

Do yourself a favor, do not work with this scammer.

I googled Lauro Herrera in June of 2024 and Calforani revoked his insurance license.

I generally go out of my way to pay with a credit card whenever I can. That way, if things go sideways I can dispute the charges.

The best lessons are hard learned, unfortunately.

No, they didn't.

If you looked up his license, read it again.

A revoked license would not say that it was active through March 2026. The restricted license is still there.

18. How can I get a probationary or "restricted" license issued to me?​

In some cases, based on the applicant's criminal record, CDI may offer the applicant a restricted license under section 1742 of the CIC in lieu of denying the applicant because of the criminal conviction or in lieu of taking them to hearing. The restricted license is a fully functioning license that will remain on a probationary status (usually for a minimum of three years). The restricted license can be summarily revoked (i.e. without first holding a hearing) if a subsequent violation of law occurs. Upon the completion of three years under the restricted license with no further violations, the licensee can request to have the restrictions removed.

Thanks for the education.!! And the fast answer. Obviously not something you ever want to have happen.......not a good look if clients read that and/or other agents.

Being accused of a crime isn't the same as being guilty of a crime.

Case in point: Glenn Neasham. He was even CONVICTED of a crime (of selling an annuity) and it was eventually overturned and reversed.

I'd rather not ever go through any of that, but we never really know.
