Do Aflac Coordinators Use Qikmail? Scam?

[Slippery]

Run for the hills. 1 in 1000 will succeed while the number is reversed for the amount of times a business has been harrassed by them. Good products to market but plenty of other companies with higher commissions and the only competition is outside of the company.

I posted my resume on monster. I received an email from a supposed Aflac district coordinator, saying he was impressed with my background and was going to contact me in the next couple days about an interview. I just took a computer security class so I am weary about potential scams via the internet. What's bothering me is that the gentleman sent the email from his_name at qikmail*com, then at the bottom of his message it had his_name at us*aflac*com. (Asteriks are .'s, forum wouldn't let me post website names, at is @, obviously)

I looked up qikmail and it seems to be somewhat of an automated emailing system that hotels would use to contact their customers, which would make sense because maybe he was on his qikmail account by mistake when sending the email. Makes sense that he has one because he has insurance customers. But still, I am suspicious. Can anyone confirm that this is a legitimate practice? Thanks!

well I have to say that I received the exact same email from the same guy and I fill it is scam can anyone let me know what should I do because I sent my resume to his email. thanks.I put the email here

Not positive this is a scam or not, but many Aflac coordinators and agents use outsid email systems like gmail, etc.

Aflac can be a great company to work for, but it takes a ton of cold calling businesses and you are competing with other agents in your area for these businesses. That said, if you have the fortitude to hit the streets every day and make at a minimum, 20 cold calls a day, you can succeed and do very well.

Not a scam, they just recruit anything that breathes.

Kimura, not sure about the Qikmail but the first_last@us.aflac.com would be a legit aflac address.

I got an email from qikmail and the supposed employee was Davitamckenzie@us.aflac.com.....
Not quite right. Thanks for the info. F'ing scammers :/
