Primerica’s proud to have great leaders from all walks of life. One of the company’s founders, Bobby Buisson, hasn’t been an inspiration only to Primerica. He made a lasting impression on best-selling author Pat Conroy many years ago when they battled each other on the college basketball court. In Conroy’s bestseller My Losing Season, he tells the story of how his competition with Buisson made him a better player … and a better person. Read excerpts from My Losing Season, including personal stories about Buisson, on his high school alma mater’s website.

- BBB Scam Warning
by Hannah Estep
Better Business Bureau (BBB) has recently been the target of a malicious phishing email scam. The email appears to be from a bbb.org email address regarding a recently filed complaint.
The email may then direct businesses or consumers to download an attachment or click a link, which redirects to a malicious website. BBB is trying to raise awareness of this email scam and is reminding businesses that they do not send complaints as attachments via email.
Atlanta station WSB-TV interviewed Atlanta BBB Vice President Mike Boynton about the possible risks associated with the scam. Boynton said the worst-case scenario is that hackers could be targeting businesses’ financial records, client lists or payment information.1
If you receive this kind of email, be sure to disregard the message, report any information to the BBB’s Scam Portal and then delete it. If you have already clicked on the link, run a virus scan immediately.
Unfortunately, scams like this are becoming increasingly common. Many scams start with email, so you should be wary of anything that shows up in your inbox and never click on links from an unknown source. Most importantly: if you ever receive an email requesting your private information, call the company before putting any personal information in an email.

- ‘Tis the Season
by Kenyatta Greer
For many people, the holiday season brings out the best in us: a giving, peaceful spirit; but, for children whose families face severe financial hardship this month, the Christmas season is not quite as happy.
That’s why every year Primerica Home Office employees chip in to fulfill the Christmas wishes of some of the area’s needy children. This year, employees adopted 102 children from the Salvation Army Angel Tree. Through this program, children submit a “need” list and a “wish” list. Wish lists usually contain toy and bicycle requests while need lists often include clothes, shoes, socks and coats. This year, the adopted Angels received every item on their need lists and the majority of the children received each item on their wish lists!
Cheryl Romage, HR Specialist, said, “The Angel Tree program provides more than holiday gifts. It gives kids the sense that someone cares. By adopting these 102 Angels, Primerica employees have, once again, demonstrated their generosity and caring spirit.”

In the story, Addison discusses Primerica’s successful IPO launch, his Newton County, Georgia, beginnings and how being a successful entrepreneur has a lot to do with attitude. To get the full scoop, check out the article in the online version of Terry.
