Hi, am new here. Wish to raise my incident & if possible, seeking advice from experts out there.
I felt hv been cheated by a totally unethical agent with the selling point where at the end totally different from it's actual plan!
Your story are very long. But 1 thing I can tell you, any savings and investment related policy you end up have to pay on double of the time or double the amount to get back your principle as they will depreciate automatically 1-3% every month.
Always read the T&C that are very very small till you can't really read.
Don't worry too much on which agent that serve you, since all of them will cheat and mislead you, in order to get money from you. You can continue to drive a kancil while they use your money to drive a BMW whistling.gif
I stop buying insurance since 6 years ago and my savings are getting more and more.

JiuHwei, really? if what u claimed is true, u r a proper & pro agent not just by self-claimed & title, but in the practice. Like wat Adele123 shared, agent who apply such practise r in minority. Keep on the good work then.

Nope, all agents do have their SOP, point out your current policy's flaw to make sure you stop and buy from new agent. Then on new policy he will cover up the important parts and won't tell you.
So best way is don't pay by credit card first and use that 14 days cool down period to read all the T&C and ask more questions to the agent that serves you.
If you really understand all those T&C, you won't buy insurance at all.

Supersound, u r right that better don't pay by credit card. Even if to read thru the whole book & those T&C, some terms shall be too tricky & hard for some of us (i mean myself) to understand the actual meaning behind.
Now only i know y some ppl wil take agent A's policy A to show agent G, agent G's proposal G to show agent P & so. Agents normally willing to point other competiter's plan flaw & hide their own one... so with the passing steps, we hv clearer pic on each insurance policy's cons & pro (if there is any pro), huh? Sigh I understand the IMPORTANCE of such counterchecking  too late.

Just share this to all youngsters out there... do take my case as example, trust agent friend fully will never b a wise step. ur trust given is a gold to him/her, but u may get sh*t in return. I learnt this, in a hard way.

Nope, you have to pay using credit card after 2 to 3 months as agent will take your money after few months. As they already have mindset : once the policy is secured, they no need to serve you anymore.
When the policy is in my hand, I will read the claim exclusion part and ask doctors on their opinion. So most of the time the agents were wasted their time on me as I'll just cancel the policy directly.

Hi All,

It is really shocking to read about all this on AIA. I too have my disappointment with AIA.

1) Does anyone know if the so call cash value in a table showing your year of purchase until 10-20-30 years amount of cash value that is shared with policy owners that purchased in sometime early 2000 - 2008 if it measures up? I understand it doesn't matches up or even at close +/- 20-30% and in fact would be very much lower than expected. Yeah! Yeah! they tell you it's forecasted but you mean they didn't manage your funds well until your cash value is so far away and when they sell you at that time, this can be your retirement fund. Can anyone share if such cash value comensurates with the cash value table?

2) I would also like to highlight that in early 2015, AIA seems to have billing issues for customers. I have been billed many times for the policy and calling the customer service is of no help and asking your agent, which they will side to AIA and say "computer upgrading, please be patient la!". After 2-3 months of such duplicate billing, computer still upgrading and customer service still got no answer??? I'm not sure how many of you experienced this issue last year.

Well, you are right, the actual are far lower than what hey tell you. The projected table are meant to mislead and cheat you to buy.
If say market is bad, now CI for Bursa are all time high at 17++ comparing to 10 years at 1000-1300.
If say market is bad, Merc sales are again all time high comparing to previous years.
Have to know that, buying insurance is you serve the policy, not the agent serves you. As long as you sign the policy, basically is non of their business. Your agent are doing the right thing by giving excuse and ignoring you. For me if the amount are not much, I'll just cancel it and take it as a lesson.
