Unsatisfactory Experiences with Insurance Companies
Lack of Support and Deception
Two reviewers, Walter Lavigne and Jeffrey Littrell, shared their negative experiences with insurance companies. Walter Lavigne was unhappy with the company's handling of his claim, stating that the adjuster lied about the yield of his crop. He felt that the company was not worth the premium he paid. Jeffrey Littrell had a similar experience, citing issues with the adjuster, Mr. John Fahl, who was described as abusive and unprofessional.
Misleading Information and Aggressive Behavior
Both reviewers felt that they were misled or mistreated by the insurance companies. Walter Lavigne believed that the adjuster's estimate of his crop yield was inaccurate, while Jeffrey Littrell felt that Mr. Fahl's behavior was aggressive and unhelpful. These experiences led both reviewers to advise others to avoid doing business with these companies.

On a separate note, Le Tha Bow shared a positive experience with an investment opportunity with Mrs. Cathy Frederick. Le Tha Bow reported making a significant profit and successfully withdrawing funds, expressing gratitude and recommending Mrs. Frederick to others.
