Has anyone had any dealings with this company? They first came to my attention with some really odd ads on social media about life insurance. In essence claiming the state would pay for some of your life insurance. Their website is unusual in that it has no mention of central bank regulations. To me they seem like a pseudo broker that does lead generation for insurance companies.

Their emails are all very odd. They make up presumably fictional scenarios to try entice you to buy life insurance (think, oh John is a father of two and just learnt he has a terminal illness. Wouldn't it have been great if he had some critical illness cover but now his family is destitute). As far as I can tell they have no physical address, just a shared workspace office address

I'm unsure what the regulations are around this. But it all seems very suspect to me
