Xcel Solutions?
I accidentally got involved in an MLM, and I’m considering getting my life insurance license to move on. I’m trying to access the study materials provided by the “agent,” but my browser keeps flagging the page as unsafe. When I attempt to proceed, it prompts me to download a privacy extension, which I didn’t do. After exiting and returning, I was confronted with a suspicious Microsoft Office page claiming my computer was locked and my IP address was compromised, instructing me not to close my laptop and to call a number. I closed the window, as it seemed clearly like a scam. Now, I’m feeling uneasy about the website and wondering if there are alternative resources for studying for the insurance license or if I should just shift my focus elsewhere.
It sounds like you’re dealing with a pretty sketchy situation. If you’re getting warnings from your browser about a site being dangerous, that’s a major red flag. It’s wise that you didn’t download anything or call any numbers that popped up.
For studying for your life insurance licensing, there are definitely safer and more reputable resources out there. Here are a few options:
State Insurance Department: Check your state’s insurance department website for recommended study materials and links to approved pre-licensing courses.
Online Courses: Look for established companies that offer online courses specifically for insurance licensing, such as Kaplan, ExamFX, or the American Council of Life Insurers.
Textbooks: You can also find textbooks or study guides specifically for life insurance licensing on sites like Amazon or at your local bookstore.
Study Groups: Consider joining a study group or forum where others are preparing for the same exam. This can provide support and additional resources.
Local Community College: Some colleges offer pre-licensing courses that are comprehensive and can help you prepare appropriately.
If you continue to feel uncertain about what you received from Xcel Solutions, it’s probably best to steer clear of it and go with more established resources. Good luck with your licensing journey!
