The senior Benefits Centers Network held a Senior Survival Workshop 2/9/2009, in the Chiefland area. The purpose of these workshops (Senior Survival Workshop) is to persuade older investors through (Fear, anger, loss or privacy, greed) to sell their securities holdings and purchase annuities and other 'select' investments with high commissions. Presenters disturb prospects or 'targets' with probate, SS taxes Nursing Home Bankruptcy, stock market losses, and outliving any money one has. Home visits are pre-scheduled on cards in attendee folders with presenter name and phone number. Appointments are confirmed before leaving workshop.
When questioned, no company name, no website, no disclose statement...just very vague responses as to them being there to 'help.' Heavy pressure put on attendee if they decide to cancel home visit.
