MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - The lawyer for a Gulf Shores insurance agent
has asked state officials to grant her a probation period to allow
her to make repayments to customers victimized by fraud.
Richard Lively said Friday that revoking the license of Pamela
Wynona Schoen would cut off her ability to earn money and repay
victims.
Schoen testified in the close of a two-day hearing that at least
118 fake insurance policies were sold from the Starfish Insurance
Agency in 18 months, and she has spent at least $450,000 to repay
people who bought bogus coverage. Schoen said the two employees who
sold the policies disappeared in September.
Alabama Insurance Department officials asked that a hearing
officer revoke Schoen's insurance sales licenses, at least until
she proves she can manage her affairs.

Sounds like Mr. Lively is worried about getting paid.  Send Ms.Pamela Wynona Madoff to jail where she belongs.

lol, Lemon Tree Motor’s good one Bob. Maybe she needs to sell cars. I would not let her sell insurance anymore. Fly her Afghanistan, I hear Taliban Motors is looking for sales ppl.“We are shooting down prices and some infidels as well. Buy this week and get a free tank of gas and a slightly used RPG.”  lol who was it that ran the Taliban Motor skits. John boy and Billy?

I am still waiting for $$.  I guess I did not get the “tip off”.  I went a year without any insurance, unknown to me. I felt bad for her, but she told me so many lies…

“Starfish Insurance Agency”  Doesn’t that name kind of tip you off that you might want to check these people out before giving them any money?

Almost like a car dealership using the name Lemon Tree.
