A:
If a life insurance agent signed you up for policies without your knowledge or authorization, this could be considered fraudulent activity. Unauthorized use of your personal and financial information to obtain commissions is illegal and unethical.
You may have grounds to sue the agent for fraud and unauthorized use of your information. Additionally, you might want to report the incident to the insurance company, state insurance regulatory authorities, and possibly the police to investigate the matter further.
It would be beneficial to consult with a lawyer experienced in insurance or consumer protection law to explore your legal options. They can help you understand your rights and the steps you can take to potentially recover any losses and hold the responsible parties accountable.
