    Unless you are actually 50+ isn't this classed as fraud?

    And posting it on an open forum is asking for the offer to be abused.

    Diane,
    You are right!
    Sadly I am 50 and was searching for such a policy. In terms of price and return its not too bad a policy.
    Fraud is a criminal offence and you are so right to point this out.:T

    Sorry to add a note of discord. This product is appalling; the rates are awful and, if you die in the first 2 years, they only return the premiums paid and if, God forbid, you carry on into your dotage the payment can be less than the total premiums you've actually paid in.

    If you want out, there's no surrender value either!

    By all means, take a "punt" for the free gift but, unless you are uninsurable and won't die in the first two years, and you want some life cover go and talk to an IFA!

    :cool:
