DO NOT BE A VICTIM SCAM ALERT!! BEWARE OF PREPAID LEGAL PLANS

Why would you pay a monthly fee to talk to a lawyer when most lawyers will talk to you for free?

PrePaid Legal charges you for things which lawyers will normally provide for free Generally they offer you "access" to a lawyer for a monthly fee. The impression is that you are almost getting some sort of "insurance" plan. That is just not true.

PrePaid Legal Plans are sold using Multiple Level Marketing (MLM) techniques. MLM is generally regarded as disreputable and dishonest.

CanLaw regularly gets attacked by fools who have been taken in by the PrePaid Legal Plan. They always say that PPL is listed on the NY stock exchange as if that means anything. When we ignore them we often get threatening emails laced with misspelled swear words and pathetic syntax. These people can be violent, which coupled with their stupidity and lack of ethics, makes them dangerous.

The people peddling PPL are the same type of con artists who last month tried to get you to join their latest water filter DOWNLINE so they can exploit you. Next month it will be some new scam. People like these will rob you blind and then steal your white cane.

MLM is always a scam. Usually it is illegal. The people who are selling these programs are not to be trusted.
