Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I've been solicited by a company called " Lincoln Trust Insurance " out of Florida. They told me on the phone they have up to 50 referrals to send my way. It sounds great until they want $195 application fee. I did a search on the internet and the only reference I can find is from the local BBB that says the company has an " unsatisfactory record " . They also don't apparently have a webpage. While it is a no-brainer to spend $195 if I can get even 10 patients out of it, but something smells fishy about it to me. Has anyone else been solicited by these guys? Any experiences? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Chris, I also have been solicited. it smells very fishy to me also. Each time I asked for information the only thing I got out of them was something like " you'd be the solo practitioner to whom we'd send our clients " . Frankly, I am left with more questions than answers such as what is involved in getting paid from the company, what constraints are on treatments, etc. They don't seem to have anything outlined so that alone is enough indication to me that working with them with be potentially problematic.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 remember the first rule for how to sniff out a scam: if it sounds too good to be true, it (probably) is.
