PRE-PAID LEGAL OFFERS? DO NOT BE A VICTIM
DO NOT BE A PRE PAID VICTIM
BEWARE OF THOSE "PRE-PAID" LEGAL PLANS or SCHEMES
Why would you pay a monthly fee to talk to a lawyer when most lawyers will talk to you for free?
So called "Pre-Paid" Legal schemes charges you for things which lawyers will normally provide for free.
Generally they offer you "access" to a lawyer for a monthly fee. Most lawyers will give you a half hour free consultation. So why would you pay good money for something that is usually free?
The impression is that you are almost getting some sort of "insurance" plan. That is just not true.
The various "Pre-Paid" Legal Plans are sold using Multiple Level Marketing (MLM) techniques. MLM is generally regarded as disreputable and dishonest.

DO NOT BE A VICTIM
Protect yourself from MLM scams.
CanLaw regularly gets attacked by fools who have been taken in by the "Pre-Paid" Legal Plan. They always say that PPL is listed on the NY stock exchange as if that means anything. When we ignore them we often get threatening emails laced with misspelled swear words and pathetic syntax. These people can be violent, which coupled with their stupidity and lack of ethics, makes them dangerous.
The people peddling PPL are the same type of con artists who last month tried to get you to join their latest water filter DOWNLINE so they can exploit you. Next month it will be some new scam. People like these will rob you blind and then steal your white cane.
MLM is always a scam. Usually it is illegal. The people who are selling these programs are not to be trusted.
Why would you give them your hard earned money? You would do better burning it for heat.
If you want to give your money to these people go ahead. You should know better. Don't come to us after you have been taken.
Creationists, (now they call it "Intelligent Design,") must be right.
They are living proof that evolution frequently does not work and has many failures
