As I was browsing the internet for some prescription drugs I was surprised to come across an online pharmacy that had As far as I know, this kind of drugs are not quite legal and were quite expensive. This just goes to show that pharmaceutical companies think more about their profits than about the health of their clients.

Steve – Thanks for the comment.

The agent in this story has gone out of business…many people around town have found out that he is a bit of a jerk and never did business with him.

You did great confronting him and discovering his lousy attitude.

He was caught, by a potential customer, breaking the law arrogantly and then tells you nicely to push off with your trade?

Looks like a great opportunity for a trustworthy agressive agent to poach this clown’s book of business.

Since the fellow didn’t quite seem to get the point, it may be worthwhile passing this story, names & brand-names filled in, to the carrier(s) he represents. Certainly they don’t want to see their Brand-name involved in an escapade like this!

Cheers,

Steve

Another great example of how easy it is to ruin a personal brand. The unfortunate part of this is that the insurance agent doesn’t even think that what he is doing is hurting his business.

We live our life on the front page of the newspaper…

If I may add another moral of the story:
“Train your employees to be part of the company. Have the sense of belonging”. In the end, they will help the company keeps the good image.

You should report these people! You can do this at http://www.handicappedfraud.org.
