Have you ever scrolled through Facebook and come across an ad that seemed too good to be true? Of course, you have. Unfortunately, social media platforms like Facebook rarely vet the ads they host. This issue extends to the internet as a whole.
In just ten minutes of scrolling, you’re likely to see a couple dozen ads, some of which might look something like this:
The image above is an example of a misleading ad you might encounter. It’s tempting to click and see your options, but once you submit your information, it’s likely to be sold. By filling out the form, you’ve agreed to this—and soon, a dozen insurance agents might be calling. If you’re okay with that and willing to sift through the calls, you might find a better deal. However, $28.99 a month for even just liability is nearly unheard of in my industry, especially in Kansas. Ads like this set a dishonest expectation for customers.
While these ads seem convenient, they often do more harm than good. If you’re shopping, go to a local agent or broker instead. You’ll get a better experience by working with someone who knows your needs and will be there for you when it counts.
