Good, honest Agents ahould demand that the list of Agent\’s \”buying\” CE Credits be made public.
It\’s called accountability to the public and high ethical standards being maintained.
We deserve this.
I agree with Louisiana Agent – – – How can the consumer \”know\” about these fraudulent agents if the DOI doesn\’t disclose who they are? Don\’t you feel we owe it to the public to make known those agents who are refusing to comply with keeping their knowledge updated for the consumer??
Believe it or not, Marsha, my mother is a victim in all of this. She has held and maintained several business licenses for years and understands the severity of committing fraud, and how it disrupts your accountability. I also hold a business license and in order to maintain my license continuing education is a requirement. There are a lot of scam artist posing as legitimate continuing education providers that solicit to licensed agents for their business. And that is what happened to Marsha Scott, she along with other licensed agents fell victim to a predatory scam artist posing as a continuing education professional. The continuing education hours that are mandated by the Dept. of Insurance do not require a test, the only obligation, is to be present for the course. In this case, she was present. Why would a person pay to attend a class that is being provided by a scam artist, take the risk of losing their integrity, lively hood, and all that they have worked for? What benefit would this bring to all of the licensed agents who fell victim to this? It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. It does not make sense for our government and judicial system to exploit innocent citizens that have been corruptively victimized, and use this as an opportunity to make money. I receive a plethora of e-mails, mail, and faxed solicitations from continuing education providers wanting my business, and it upsets me to no end, to know that if I was to attend a course that is being presented by a scam artist that is wasting my time and misleading me in order to make a profit, and to know that I would be viewed as a criminal in the eyes of the law as a convenience to exploit and discriminate me is perplexing. Instead, the judicial system and our government should protect the citizens and promote public awareness, especially to small business owners, these are the people who continue to make jobs in this country, not Big Business, who continues to send jobs over seas.
My mother is a very humble person, and the most integral being that I have ever met, and I am not just saying this because she is my mother. The truth is, she was innocent and did not have the money to have an attorney represent her case, especially since she is no longer licensed to work, and she was also hoping that good will and justice will prevail, instead she had prosecutors giving her an ultimatum to either plead guilty or go to jail. Ultimatum, presumably is the new definition for justice. From this, I pray that others will not fall victim to these types of scams and that the public will begin to realize that over 60% of convictions in our judicial system are ostensible actions and that we are all victims to our judiciary system.

This comment is being written by Marsha Scott. The Criminal Justice System and the Legislative branches of government here in Louisiana are less than what we have hoped they would be. I have never met the alleged Mr. Jacob but I hope and pray that all is well with him. When we work under the supervision of others we hope that the choices they make concerning educational training, marketing of products and daily activities will always be above board. We always look for equity and fairness in the market place.
This lesson taught me to more cautious of who I do buisness with and take responsibility for my own education. Being that I am a very studious person, it is a known fact that I take more than the hours required every year of continuing education which cannot be carried over to the next year. With a background as diverse as mine, and as busy as I am, I rarely debate who is qualified to teach the classes and workshops I attend and who will be in attendance, present or late. Since 1992, I have always used this as a time for breaks and whenever possible take most classes outside the city of Baton Rouge.
The price of half a continuing education certificate cost the life of my father. Six state police officers went into my ailing fathers bedroom at daybreak unawares to him who they were. Attempting to get up he had a stroke and four days later he had a heart attack and died. I was not only threatened once but on three seperated occassions that if I did not admit I was quilty I would go to jail. Since I am an ordained evangelist and pastor, after having being arrested and jailed anyway, I ran a prayer line and counseling session in the prison. Much of my studies are centered around prison ministry and re-entry. This was really a blessing in disguise. It was one of the most rewarding and filling days I have ever spent with a group of people.
I was tied up in the court system from 2003 to 2008. I lost the Mercedes and the house. In the mist of all this the office complex was destroyed by fire while I was on a three day religious lockin. I ended up with Multiple Schlerosis and broke, broke and broker…. I blamed it on all those broker licenses I studied so hard to acquire. Seemingly the more I acquired the broker I became.
I am not bitter, just better. Does it diminish who I am? No. However, it made me refocus on governing agencies as a whole. I may use this in my thesis for graduate school. My question was and still is how do you allow a man posing as a continuing education provider from 1995 to 2003, NEVER to have a proctor sit in on any of his classes and the Insurance Commission monitor not even one class of over 3,000 agents. Now that is simply amazing.
I thank God I took the courses for 2003 from A D Banker. I might have been tied up another 5 years for another 5 years. I sat for 16 hours this year at Donaldson and drove to New Orleans both days. Crazy? No it goes beyond that. Even today, I have never met this mysterious Mr. Jacob nor do I wish to.
It is ashame that people set out to slander your name as if we never make mistakes in life. But thank God for JESUS! Lots of Love Louisiana.
It is simply azazing how one person out of hundreds of folk who had little to do with or anything to do with this scam was singled out??? I did a search on the main people who turned over their downline and non of their names were ever mentioned in your magazine. AMAZING.
