it started with "I felt like I should call and see how things are going for you."

It ended with "you may not know this, but I recently made a career change and am now a financial advisor"

Sounds like a good number to block so you don't get a second call!

I'd block that number so you don't keep getting calls.

I'd been inactive for over 10 years and only had the bishop of my ward contact me when I'd resigned.

You should have asked him if he was a financial advisor for the Kirtland Anti-Banking Society.




Of course, he probably doesn't know church history so he wouldn't get it.

Did the middle part of the conversation include a solicitation to buy timeshares?

Tell him, "I just became an AMWAY distributor and I thought I'd give YOU a call."

I had a former bishop contact me about 5 years after I left.
Same kind of "just felt like I should get in touch" start.
Then...an invitation to his home to check out a "financial opportunity you just can't pass up."

Yep, Amway. I smelled it during the phone call.
And never went ;)

All my friends are insurance salesmen.

I never answer any number I don't know its either someone wanting money or someone wanting me to go back to church, so basically the same thing

Very same thing happened to me. He was a pilot, and then "changed careers" to became a (so-called) financial advisor. Called me out of the blue years later with "a wonderful opportunity."

So....he lost his medical and was desperate. It happens.

Did he say if he left TSCC?

"Paul, my brother, you don't know me, but I've had this amazing business opportunity come my way! I'm building a solid core of investors who'll see amazing returns on capital....what's that Paul? Hey, no need to get angry; besides, that's anatomically impossible!" The Boner Speeketh.

after we moved from UT.

I was actually quite moved that she bothered to call and was happy to hear from her-TBM family never tried to keep in touch.

Then she dropped the other shoe and told me she wanted me to sell Mary Kay.

It was the first of many lessons in dealing with TBM family.

Utah is the scam capital of America. The cult has a policy no one can use the church's member's phone lists for solicitation. Any LDS financial advisors or investors are trying to seduce you into a scam. Call him to repentance big-time, and then hang up. Block his number. Call LDS headquarters and file a complaint.
