My mother, who is 79, was contacted by one of their representatives and she agreed to meet with them the following morning at 9 AM. After thinking about it she had second thoughts and asked me to call to reschedule. I called the number that was left and asked to reschedule the meeting for another time and that my mother was not able to meet. Next morning the representative showed up at my mothers house saying she never got the voice mail. I find that hard to believe in this day and age. She convinced my mother to answer some questions and ended up filling out an application for their services. Luckily when the rep asked for my mothers bank account information my mother stopped her and said she wanted to talk to me and she would like the rep to call me as well.

The rep called me later that day and was asking to meet to sign final papers the next day. The representative spoke pretty much non-stop and very fast. She continued to push the idea that we needed to get this signed very quickly. After having to interrupt a few times and tell her we wanted to look into the company the representative said, "Well I guess I am not going to win this argument". I told her it was not a competition but we wanted to look into AMBA before we went any further. She then told me that "she didn't have time for this" as it was Friday and she had lots of people to call. I asked her to call us back in a week and we would go from there.

I was told repeatedly that AMBA was endorsed by the teachers association, however after asking our union leader he said they were not connected what so ever with the NEA or ISTA, our two main teachers organization. My mother felt very much like she was being pushed into signing something without really understanding it and after speaking to the representative I understand why. She did not want to take no for an answer and seemed unwilling to listen to our wanting us to find out anything more about the company than what she had communicated. They may be a reputable business and they may be very helpful, I have had a hard time finding any reviews other than these few on google, however this representatives tactics were very aggressive and her urgency to have us sign as soon as possible made both of us very uncomfortable. My mother ended up talking to her normal insurance person and getting it worked out. If anyone is wondering, the representative from AMBA never called back.
