I went on a comparison site for life insurance and got a call from lifesearch. 
How can I tell they are legitimate? They seem to know their business and said they get paid from the insurance company. 
I noticed its a company recommended by mse.
They recommended Aviva and the quote seems good.
Any tips or advice, please.
Thank you

    They are.

    Correct.   They are paid a commission.  Commission is paid out of your premums that you pay.  However, its not free.  The premiums are higher on commission basis than nil commission basis.   So, you are paying it on drip with each monthly payment.
