Just called the 800 number for an ad in the newspaper classified ads that says

"Family health care with RX plan for $69.95 per month. best network, excellent coverage. No limitations, includes dental, vision, pre-existing conditions okay . WCS 800-***-**** ext. **** "

My understanding is WC stands for 'World Class' , S I dont know what it is. I called and got standard gibberish that sort of made sense. Then I asked if they had any info they could send me and they said "NO" . Also they said they had to debit MC Visa or bank acount, no other way.
My question is this a scam to get your numbers they can clean you out with or is this a legitimate insur. deal.

I am presently paying $650/ per month and it will soon be much higher and I cant afford it, but cant afford NOT to have it either.

Is World Class group for real???
Thanks for 'any' help with this !!!cuz i b --just don--

Reputable health insurance companies take checks, do not advertise in the classified section of a local newspaper, and send out packets of information.

Sounds like a scam on the order of snake oil.

Don,
Anytime ANYONE asks for credit card or any personal information is a major red flag for you to RUN asap!! You can always contact~~ dang~~brain fart, can't remember,
The Better Business Breau, or sometimes your local news stations have a help line you can tell them about this and they will check it out. Here we have an In Your Corner on local news.
NEVER! give out personal ifno!!
