DO THEY ANNOY THE LIVING *BLEEP* OUT OF YOU???
I HAD AMERICAN LIFE RING ME UP YESTERDAY AND DIDNT ACTUALLY GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SAY NO I DIDNT WANT IT, HE JUST WENT ON AND ON AND ON FOR 10MINS, AND THEN HE WANTED ME TO GIVE HIM MY BANK DETAILS, I SAID I WOULD RATHER READ THROUGH THE PAPER WORK FIRST BUT HE SAID NO YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME YOUR BANK DETAILS! AND THEN LATER I HAD ANOTHER PERSON FROM THE SAME COMPANY OFFERING ME THE EXACT SAME THING AND I WAS LIKE, WELL SOMEONE FROM YOUR COMPANY HAS ALREADY CALLED ME BLAH!!
I SHOULDN'T JUST GIVE THEM MY BANK DETAILS OVER THE PHONE SHOULD I? SHOULD I MAKE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS AS I DONT THINK ITS RIGHT.

Why did you let him talk for 10 minutes instead of hanging up on him!!!!! That's exactly why the second person called you back.
You don't want the product, but now you are thinking about giving them you banking information???? How bright is that?

These are NOT insurance people. They are thieves. Really, they do not work for any insurance company. Insurance companies NEVER ask for banking info on the phone. They are pretending to be professionals to get your trust so you will give them your bank details so they can empty your bank account.
IMPORTANT - If you gave them any banking info call your banks 24 hour emergency number and tell them so they can close your accounts so you and they don't loose any money. You are being scammed. If this ever happens again, just hang up. If they keep calling you right back, leave the phone off the hook. Use a message machine to screen your calls in the future so you don't even have to deal with these people.

They were scamming you. First of all, ***NEVER*** give bank information over the phone ... or the internet!
Secondly, insurance companies are covered by the "Do Not Call" law passed a couple of years ago. I know some agents will violate it, but that's a red flag right there. Even if they are legit, why would you do business with someone who begins the relationship by breaking the law?
Insurance agents CAN call if you already have a policy with them (unless you tell them not to call); and, they can call you generally within 90 days of when you send a reply card or fill out a form asking for information. Other than that, don't do business with lawbreakers. I've been in insurance and financial planning for over 30 years, and I encourage you to RESIST anyone - even if they're for real - who breaks the law or wants your banking data.
If you resisted these jerks, CONGRATS! They thought they could wear you down. If you captured their phone number, then yes, do report it as a violation.

Somehow I don't know if I would trust an oral surgeon who misspells mouth as mouse. It kind of suggests he didn't graduate at the top of his class (or if he did then the college was not very reputable). As far as the pain you are describing, then it is very common for wisdom teeth to not come in properly if there is not enough room on the jaw. This can lead to excruciating pain, and possibly a misalignment of your existing teeth. I am perfectly able to believe that the pain from a wisdom tooth coming in wrong would radiate down your neck and into your shoulder. The solution is to bite the bullet and look for a dentist who will take payments in installments if you can not afford the procedure all up front. Hurting teeth are not a fun way to spend your life. What better use do you have for your discretionary funds if not to relieve your pain? I hope this helps.

Sounds like a scam to me. Why would anyone selling health insurance need your bank details? Make a note of the company they give and look it up, and if its real.... call them. Ask if they do that sort of phone solicitation.

don't give your details to anyone over the phone! Get their number to call them back with the details. Call the company directly from a number YOU looked up in the phone book or online and make sure it checks out, then you may call them back to help them with a commission.
If they annoy you, just say "no thank you" talk over them if you must, and then just hang up.
