I DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY because they contacted me as a cold-call and did not want to give their company's contact-info and instead wanted my full info. When I told her it's against Advertisement Rules to not disclose your company's contact info when you call cold. Caller then hanged up and 2-hours later she sent me an email with their contact info. They should not hold their identity.

Hello, we apologize for the frustration.
We do not practice cold calling. We only contact individuals when a quote request has been submitted for a life insurance product through one of our websites, or when someone has opted in to be contacted while applying for another service through one of our third-party partners.

Please email us at info@specialtylifeinsurance.ca and we will promptly add your number to our Do Not Call list. In addition we will investigate as to why the company information was not disclosed as requested.
