Do you think it wise for people to take insurance advice from this website?

90 % of the answers/advice i have seen are incorrect %26amp; some even lean towards fraudulent %26amp; encourage deception- seek professional advise from an insurance broker!Do you think it wise for people to take insurance advice from this website?
Hi Daniel - John Here - submitted the article on IA forum.





Yes this is a **** dangerous place. I will try and correct inaccurate information as appropriate.Do you think it wise for people to take insurance advice from this website?
It's the same with anything on here. I suppose people just draw on each others experience - sometimes I might read something and think that something similar has happened to me, however I'm careful to point out that it is only my opinion and by no means fact.


I can only hope that people are not so naive as to believe everything they read on here!
I agree, I also think it is madness to ask 'am I pregnant?' (some of these appear every day) or 'what could these symptoms be?'


How do these people think a load of numpties sat at their computers can diagnose their ailments?
I guess that depends on who they trust and checking out the information they receive. I personally do not answer the questions that I am not 99% sure I know the corrent answer to. I feel that the ultimate responsibility to make sure the answers are valid is on the person asking the question.





I agree with you - there is a lot of bad advice on here. Everyone should have a good agent that they trust for advice if at all possible. But on the other hand, I have gotten some quick and good answers to things on this site a few times.
I have to agree there is a lot of fraud, never do business from here. But, most people are looking for opinions and feedback. I doubt they count on this for solid choices.
You have to sort it out.


The ultimate decision is yours.
I find it somewhat useful as a startig point before doing the hard stuff on your own with the assistance of a professional. I do find it funny at just how many people make blanket statements, much in the vein of a Suze Orman, that may be correct some of the time or even most of the time but state it like it is all the time. The result of a sound bite society. But I enjoy the field and feeling like I contribute something to the world so sharing my knowledge is a pleasure.
How did you arrive at 90%?
NOPE, it's stupid. That's why a LOT of the time, you see something in the advice that says, ';SEE YOUR LOCAL AGENT';.
I agree with you 100%. Anyone asking a question has no proof that any of us responding know what we're talking about. Don't take our word for truth. Use our answers as side-information. Take our information and find a professional in your area. Everything we discuss can be used as a list of questions to a professional, to better inform you and help you make a truly educated decision.





Again, it is not a good idea to follow our advice without confirming its accuracy with a professional. And people here who claim to be professionals don't count. You have no way of knowing if they are who they say they are, or if they are some 27 year old still living his mommy's basement.
