World Financial Group

I met the owner of this office about seven years ago. They been in the industry for a long time. I trusted them as a professional, and gave my family financial planning to them. 7 years later, I am a happy client. I have short-​term, mid-​term, long-​term investment programs from various companies. All of these are recommended by this office. I also decided to get a license, to do this business as a part-​time basis. What’s keep me going, is my own transformation from financial illiteracy, to a knowledgeable, educated, client through the trainings twice a week. I hope everyone can benefit from the classes and coaching on running a business provided by this office.

WFG is a business. A business which can improve myself to become a better person day by day. People may like or dislike certain people inside and there is nothing to do with the business itself. It offered me the opportunity to start the business as part-​timer. When the company I worked full time for decide to shut down the door, I’m glad there is alternate choice for me.
WFG is in the financial industry and very highly regulated by state and federal government. Every one need to pass the license exam in order to conduct the business. Every business conducted in WFG need to follow all necessary regulation. Every business transaction needs to be in good faith as any complaint from customer will put the agent license in risk and no one want to see that.
I had been with this company for few years. WFG offer financial education to the public who are willing to learn. Financial product can be complicated and most of other financial company don’t bother to offer the education to consumer. WFG provide the education necessary for consumer to make educated choice. So far, I enjoyed the knowledge learned from WFG and very fortunately was offered this business opportunity.

I started from learning financial knowledge, to an educated client and to a financial professional. As a typical engineer, I worked hard to make money, save money, but I didn’t know how to manage it. I didn’t know about the personal financial plan. I didn’t know where I could get help and didn’t even realize I need help. I do wish I could know WFG earlier now. I am lucky I was introduced to WFG and very proud of it.
I have worked in many places, such as universities, research institute and high tech companies for many years. However WFG is the best I have ever had. Here I learn to respect everyone and learn to love people. Here I am trained to treat others as I would want them to treat me. This is a wonderful platform, with education, business and personal growth in one. Now I start to understand the meanings of WFG’s version and mission, «no family left behind», «Provide the best business opportunity world wide»

I am truely impressed with the indepth and objective financial knowledge that WFG office offered in this Sunnyvale location. As an technology background person, this enhanced my possibility of achieving my financial goals greatly. And the associates in the office are high quality professionals, a lot of them had career transitions from other fields, engineering, accounting, marketing,…, they were successful in what they did before and found their passion in the new financial service field.
The company also provides a business opportunity with very low entrycost, and no minimum production per month limit imposed like most of the other companies. I felt very lucky to stump into this company, are able to enjoy the freedom and choice after 4 years since the career transition. It definite worth to check out what WFG can offer for you, to be more educated in terms of personal financial planning or seeking a business parttime, with low entry, and to test it out without giving up current income.

Wow, I’m truly surprised these scumbags (scambags?) are still around!
The other reviews are right; this is a scam. They lure people in with the promise of big bucks and a fulfilling career. Don’t be duped.
As to another reviewer’s question about these creeps not being sued, it’s possible that they have been, and it doesn’t matter. Suing doesn’t necessarily make creepers go away; it can make them creepier and more strategic.
Also, I think most of their victims or potential victims would not want to relive the experience enough to sue and WFG knows that.
This is what happened to my partner and I:
We responded to their invitation and this too-​nicely dressed, bejeweled, and manicured woman started leading us around to various rooms, pointing out trophies and plaques for who knows who, we didn’t care. She never shut up. Were we supposed to stick a fork in her to know when she was done?
Asking what she was talking about didn’t help. She just kept droning on like an android who had only been programmed to say certain things over and over. Finally we got vocal enough to plug her pie hole. Even droids can shut up. Then she argued until we were walking out.
At the last minute, we were directed into an office with an older man, presumably her boss/​pimp, who started in on his own line of meaningless, irrelevant crap. We didn’t know where the hell he was going with anything, these were just a bunch of rooms filled with trophies, a few chairs and tables, and nothingness.
We point blank demanded to know what he wanted with us, and what he was trying to pull with inviting us to be shown around nowhere for nothing for who knows how long by a nobody with a too-​loose slit.
I don’t think anyone had ever called him on his shit because he turned the tables on us. «I don’t know what to tell you; we’re showing you around.» But for what — he had advertised jobs but we were shown trophies. Were they a trophy manufacturer? Were they trying to get the rooms rented out? A brothel? Were we supposed to have our names engraved for administering the best blow jobs? Who were they; what was going on? I’d never heard anyone open their mouths more and say less.
The older dude was far too casual, sitting on a table and acted like he didn’t understand our need to understand. Then he described what sounded to us like any slimy pyramid scheme that we wanted no part of. The guy was deflated like a balloon. He honestly sounded like he didn’t understand that he had to tell us what they were; like we were just blindly being recruited into some cult. If this has happened to you, you know the creepy, WTF? feeling. You can’t get out of there soon enough when you feel like that.
There were other people showing up too, signing in, and then shown around but no one knew what was going on. Then they left. There was no work being done anywhere. I don’t trust an alleged work environment that is so empty. Where was everybody?
In a buttshell, stay away from these creepy mo-fo’s even if they sound nice at first. Get a real job where you don’t have to guess whether it’s a legitimate operation or you’re supposed to bend over and take it up the ass for some trophy. These reviews are negative for a reason. You’re not special enough to be the exception to what everyone else already knows. They want you to think you are, but they’re creeps. They prey on vulnerability, so don’t be vulnerable and don’t be prey!

A few days ago, I was re-​experiencing a distress and painful emotion inside of me when I happened to pass by the office of WFG in the street I used to drive to there for BPM or so. Frankly it has taken me a long while to come to realize that, from day one, the person who runs the office had never intended to give me the illustration she promised to me «I’ll give it to you later!» Why did she lie to me? I don’t have the illustration she ran and showed me on her laptop to know what I bought about two years ago.
I normally rate and review businesses here at Unilocal from a customer/client’s point of view in hope of urging business owners to improve. And as a reasonable and professional person, I normally don’t talk anything negative about previous employers. Today, I am here to complain as a customer/​client of WFG — I ended up owning and paying two their life insurance policies up to now. It has taken me almost one full year to speak out and to write this review in hopes of urging them to be fair to customers and associates.
She did the same to my friend who told me his wife asked him to buy an insurance, and he was sold a policy. When he asked for copy of illustration, she told him and his wife that I would give them the illustration and passed the buck to me, and potentially place me in a bad position when my friend seeks for fairness — don’t get me wrong, after I left WFG, I have tried hard to persuade him to get out of the person who runs the office ‘s hook but failed. I can try again since now I’ve found out more.
This is an honest initial think-​through from an authentic person, who had been trapped there right before and now has been seeing more clear about this business day by day. I surprised myself that I even break my own rule of not to talk negative about previous work place. I guess, I cannot forever avoid the pain caused by the person who runs the office and I have to stand up for my right and friend’s right.

I wish to warn all job seekers (especially who are laid off or in desperate need to take up a job) to stay away from them. They find your information from your resume posted online. Then they will call you for the interview and will tell the lie that they have position available in whatever trade/​profession you are looking the job in. Once you setup the interview with the caller, just few minutes before you will receive a call from the original caller that he got busy and you will be talking to one of their financial advisers or his peer. He or she will talk to you and will try to convince their great business model where you wil try to recruit more people to form a team and be your own boss and they wish to hire you on 1099.
They will start asking your personal financial details to give you financial advice for free as if they are doing some favor on you.
I am not bothered with whatever shitty things they are doing within the legal limits, however I am bothered by their unethical practices (lies) and how they hook people to come to their meetings/​Job Interview by taking advantage of the need of simple people who are looking for regular legit job, telling them that «Yes…we have job available for you… same position whatever you are looking for»…so this is same illegal tactics as «Bait and Switch».
I am surprised that sitting within the USA, how can they pull of these bunch of lies without getting sued?
They are bunch of liars who are feeding on the desperation of unemployed people in these tough times.
Read ripoff reports to know more on their unethical tactics and about their lies.
