Review of VelaPoint Insurance

I was defrauded by Agent Anna Laemmert and Velapoi...

I was defrauded by Agent Anna Laemmert and Velapoint Insurance. I called Providence Health Plan to obtain health insurance for myself, my wife and my two children. I did not realize it at the time, but I was forwarded to Velapoint Insurance and they took my application for the health insurance. I spoke to an agent by the name of Anna Laemmert. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until about a week later when I received a whole life insurance policy, a cancer/heart/stroke policy, and a plan enhncement policy. I never ordered any of these policies and Ms. Laemmert fraudulently signed me up for these policies without my knowledge or consent. These fraudulent policies cost almost $200.00 per month and they had already stolen the money out of my bank account by the time that I called in and cancelled the policies. Furthermore, Ms. Laemmert lied to me about the cost of the dental policy which it turned out was another $169.00 per month. All told, these policies cost me almost $400.00 per month. I cancelled the policies and when I complained to Providence, the manager at Providence was horrified at what Velapoint and Anna Laemmert did to me and he told me that he was going to immediately suspend Velapoint from selling these policies. They are supposedly conducting an investigation into Ms. Laemmert's fraud, but in the meantime, I am filing a complaint with the Oregon Insurance Commisioner. I'm sure that Velapoint and Ms. Laemmert has defrauded many other unsuspecting customers of providence Health Plan. BTW, several emails sent directly to Ms. Laemmert asking for clarification were ignored
