Has anyone run into these scam artists?
United Benefits of America
I had a lead I called today and he told me he had just bought United Healthcare's $0 deductible plan for $299/mo...
Needless to say, I was a bit skeptical. The guy had some serious pre-existing medical conditions and I told him to stay on his current plan (Southwest Service Life -Not great, but better than what he's looking at and $500/mo cheaper than the Risk Pool).
Anyway, he calls to cancel and the lady that sold him this plan gets pissed off... He asks me if he can give her my number.. I agreed.
This lady calls me up and lets me know the conversation is recorded and is VERY rude. She wants to know who I am in relation to this guy and I tell her that he's a health lead, but I have ZERO financial incentive in this.
Anyway, I ask her what she's selling (it's some type of discount plan)... she keeps referring to it as "health benefits". I ask if she's licensed to sell insurance in TX, and she lets me know that she's not licensed. So I ask her repeatedly.. is this insurance? She will never say no, but only replies that they are health benefits and it is a minor medical plan.
I let her know that I'm sticking with my recommendation for the client to stay on his existing plan. She hangs up on me...
Super scammy! If you call a lead and they tell you they just bought United Health... dig a little deeper!!

This is really funny! Someone from the "compliance department" of United Benefits just called me and told me that I was breaking the law by telling the client to cancel his plan... She said, "You know it's illegal to call up here and try and get information about this client's plan and then tell him to cancel..."
"I could turn you in to TDI and get your license revoked..."
I told her I have no financial incentive to help this guy and it's not illegal for me to recommend to keep his existing plan. I told her that I only called to gather general information about the plans they offered... Go ahead and call TDI, I would be happy to respond to this complaint...
She responded... we have you recorded and hung up on me...
This is completely laughable!! How can one deal be that important to them?
Crazy!!
