PRESSURE COOKER

This company forces you and does not accept NO.This company COLD CALLS you and harases you until you take product. When you wake up after the pressure you call and cancel,They still try to remove money. Then when money isn't there because you made sure it wouldn't be, they call anyway and won't stop!!! Horrible people and company!!!Don't buy here!!!

Hello Robert, we apologize for the frustration.
We do not practice cold calling. We only contact individuals when a quote request has been submitted for a life insurance product through one of our websites, or when someone has opted in to be contacted while applying for another service through one of our third-party partners.

Please provide the phone number that has been receiving the calls by emailing us at info@specialtylifeinsurance.ca, and we will ensure it is added to our Do Not Call list.
