SCAM Company
Longtime Austin homeowner here. House is paid off, never missed a payment, never filed a claim. I’m the definition of low-risk and responsible. So when Allstate jacked up my premium, I figured I’d shop around. Called an agent, gave him every detail. Twenty minutes of my time, gone. He comes back with this gem: “No companies are giving me quotes, but I can refer you to our ‘Specialty Company.’” Translation? The overpriced fallback option they toss at people they can’t be bothered to help. I asked the obvious: “Will I have to give all my info again and is the Specialty company more expensive?” His answer? “I don’t know.” Seriously? You’ve never transferred anyone before? I can't tolerate liars. So hung up. Disgusted.
