Excellent Experience

Prishita Ribadia has an excellent manner in making a "cold call" regarding what Life Insurance I might like to consider. Prishita was very efficient and made me feel at ease through the entire application process. I received confirmation quickly by e-mail and also by Canada Post. Thank you Prishita.

Hello Jamie, we apologize for the frustration. We only contact individuals when a quote request has been submitted for a life insurance product through one of our websites, or when someone has opted in to be contacted while applying for another service through one of our third-party partners.

Please email us your phone number at info@specialtylifeinsurance.ca and we will ensure it is permanently removed.

Not my friend.

The policy is good which is why I went with them. The advisor, however, I felt was disingenuous. Fake laughing like they were my best friend. I cringed every time I heard that laugh.

I requested a quote online

I requested a quote online. within minutes a phone call was received. We went through the process and I received a quote which I wanted to review overnight. Next morning I left a moicemail with the representative telling her I was not interested in proceeding with the transaction. Since that time I have been bombarded with texts, emails and phone calls. As it is an unknown knumber and the calls come from a variety of numbers, they get sent to my voicemail. It got to the point where I started blocking and reporting as spam but they continue to come, using new phone numbers. I have also reported to the company itself and requested to be taken off their solicitation lists. If you get your information and do not want to continue I recommend you report this company immediately for harrassment!
