What is Symmetry Financial Group?
Written by Logan A Card
Researched by Moth_Unknown.
-Intro-
“Is this a scam? Search our database to see if a similar scam has been reported. In 2021 alone, we estimate BBB Scam Tracker helped consumers avoid losing $31 million to scammers.”
This is what the Better Business Bureau(BBB) calls the look up a scam program. You also have the opportunity to report new ones for yourself.
“I was scammed.Tell us about it. Submit a scam report to warn others and enable BBB to work with our partners to investigate.”
This “Symmetry Financial Group” currently has a whopping A minus rating on the website. Though what some of their branching agencies do with this information is a cause for much concern. The issue within this pattern of running into the exact same link over and over again for commission only roles in one where it is even sinister in intent. But the idea of paying to earn a certification because maybe there will be a job lined up for you when you finish after spending ‘X’ amount of money after ‘Y’ amount of weeks or months spent learning the trade and ‘keeping in touch’ is beyond cheap. Especially when such behavior mimics pulling a carrot stick in front of an ass’ nose to make it walk. You may be advertising and gaining revenue by leading by example but everyone else is left hungry and pacing.
“Symmetry Financial Group (SFG) is the fastest-growing insurance marketing organization in the country. Our in-house expertise, knowledge, vision, and ability to provide our agents with an extremely competitive product portfolio truly help protect life's journey.
SFG, based in Swannanoa, NC, provides an insurance agent with all the resources necessary to conduct business, including a contracting department to handle agent licensing issues and concerns; a service department to help with applications, status reports and commission inquiries; a lead and marketing department to help get in front of more clients; as well as a large group of service representatives to help with product information, proposals, software issues, and more.
We are committed to providing life insurance coverage that allows families to live life and protect their loved ones if the unthinkable were to happen. Each of our licensed representatives are independent brokers with the resources to provide endless options, excellent coverage and competitive prices customized to families’ needs. No matter which stage of life you are in or what city you live in, Symmetry has the products and a nationwide network of agents to ensure your protection.”
Similar to many companies that sell the equipment to create websites both personal and professional with or without artificial intelligence and or some other kind of prompt. This is a series of phone calls meant to sell you a product because of how much this helps someone else. Hence turning the very act of applying for a job into an advertisement.
-The Collective Hub-
Dan.B (did not follow up with interview with co-workers)
Interview duration over the phone. Claims to be a brokerage company. Remote company based out of Idaho.
These are my notes below
Insurance company.Required password. Manufacturers apparently do not directly sell insurance to directly to people????
What is the return policy; within the first year, depending on whether or not commission can be paid back. Five to ten percent refund retention. Phone sales job, cold calling, no warm leads. “Government life and health”.Ten hours a week gig.Focus only on homeowner/middle to upperclass clients.
Thirty five hours to twenty hours required. With Symmetry Financial Group’s two weeks of ‘ramp up’ or job training required. Term life and home life focus. Start with mortgage protection insurance. Average mortgage sale is eleven thousand dollars. The sales representative paid in three fourths of commission upfront.One fourth was installed in my bank account after.
No marketing required, only an online company with a warm corporate environment? Brokerages = sell directly. No information to be provided about carriers.
No artificial intelligence training, no third party products. Yes video call, yes insurance deals.
The Collective Hub is an insurance company focused on providing valuable protection for our customers with quality life and health insurance at an affordable price, while also creating life-changing remote work income and opportunities for our team members.”
The headquarters is located within the united states Idaho in Boise as stated before, upfront cost of classes was 130$ tests, course and background check not included discount code located on Symmetry Financial Group.
Trying to make someone feel as if you are their only option for education in earnest does not work. While I find some of the details to be a bit circular and with no substance and the lack of concern over my ignorance to be… disheartening. I cannot say I was asked for my social security number, or my routing information on the sign up process or even promised a lavish vacation if I agreed to mentor under this person. Sometimes it's not a scam just because the company is new. Though trying to spend money to make money has… mixed results.
-The Fine Group-
Interview duration over the phone 4:00-4:45 8-1-25
Samuel.F does in fact run the company so to speak.(www.afinelegacy.com/your-new-career)
When asked to go over information I yet again was pulled into the symmetry financial group information. The rest of my notes are as follows.
I informed him that I was in fact a college student full time and had another job commission gig. It will shock none of the audience to realize that this is the identical deal another company as stated above offered when “no other company has this software”. Apparently you do in fact share.

This is your company. If you want to add emojis that's legitimately your business. I will not be inviting the reader to follow me down the rabbit hole of selecting a time for an interview to be told a second interview is required and to watch the videos provided.
Removing the evidence from screenshots provided we are left with what amounts to being
Conclusion
Commission Work no matter if it's with Metal America or another commission only role in a company is not the issue. It's more than respectable to have a career for the sake of building your own commission and choosing your own hours can give you time to customize and manufacture other products as well as give you some very needed experience in working remotely even if not at the level one deserved from a so called “part time to full time” position. Such as the writer has experienced with previous work on Outlier AI.
Selling someone a ‘start your own business package’ instead of a contact/temp/part/full for I don't know actually training them for the job you applied for may not be illegal, but it is indeed stingy and ensures any demographic above the poverty and unemployment line no longer trusts you with their ard earned money as it seemed you cannot find a better way to cold call clients than preying on social media designed to help people network to get jobs. Good luck getting anywhere in life if ‘noone wants to hire you’ is how you get out of a lawsuit or restraining order in court for claiming and then failing to provide protection for failing businesses, homes and personal possessions. You are interviewing real human people since you claim to only train with real human people. Keep the compulsive lying as well as toxic positivity to yourself.
While it is very common to come to the conclusion that a few companies are scams because of the similarities and the amount of places that have certifications within the same place. Startup companies are the american dream with contract only work with no real internal training or way to contact your peers who have also been hired being the American Nightmare.
What most of the hesitation seems to be is that when you go to the interview process and you need to hire literally everyone and you like who you are interviewing this gives the impression (irregardless if the irrelevant double standard in this case in the work force of anyone wanting to be hired) no one wants to be scammed out of what limited funding we have. Humans are naturally paranoid creatures. This is the uncanny valley feeling and all companies cited are for insurance of all kinds so it's something that can be profitable. This is a monopoly of certification. It is up to both the value of trying to gamble money for a license and being willing to stick by a smaller business that is contributing to this uncertainty. This is why life insurance, mortgage insurance etc are so valuable in the Twenty-First century.
No company, regardless of how much is demanded of you and the glowing reviews from one video call and or phone call and your personal information on an application should be charging you to work for them, actually volunteering and pretending you are a nonprofit (that was in none of the companies described above) is definitely illegal/exploitative.Shaving off costs for tuition and offering discounts that do not involve mentorship outside of checking on certifications.
