Court repositories often contain minors’ case records with significant redactions. However, it has come to attention that annuitants are being contacted by an individual claiming to be “from the Courts,” using an email tag with outdated clip art of the scales of justice. This individual is allegedly exploiting publicly available insurer change-of-address forms from an annuity issuer to target minors, through their parents, shortly before they turn 18, in order to obtain signed and notarized forms capturing personal information such as phone numbers, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive details.

Why was Sara M. George contacting the mother of a 17 year old with a structured settlement on July 9, 2024, with a Prudential Insurance Company of America change of address form that clearly states that it is “for use of structured settlement payees only”?

“Naturally Curious” George Clues

If Sara George was “from the Courts”, why would they be using what appears to be a personal email address?
Providing a change of address form for Prudential structured settlement annuitants would not be the role of the Court.
Just how is “pennies on the dollar” protecting your assets?

Confirmed with Prudential that Sara M. George a/k/a Sarah Marie George DOES NOT work for Prudential and is NOT appointed by Prudential in a structured settlement capacity

A search for Sara George, a/k/a Sara M George a/k/a Sara Marie George does not produce any results that would show Ms.George possesses an active insurance license in the States of Florida, or California.

Sara George has a very Unserious LinkedIn Profile

Sara George, a/k/a Sara M. George , Sarah Marie George of Margate, FL*, 34, has a Linkedin profile that says her Title is “Annuity by Annuity Company” Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area. and lists very little, with no relevant job experience listed. Margate is located in Broward County 14.6 miles NW of Ft. Lauderdale. Florida. According to the Florida Department of Financial Services “An annuity is a contract that promises to pay you an income on a regular basis for a period of time you choose, or you may decide to leave your premiums and accumulated values in the contract until a future date, your death, or the contract maturity date (usually age 100)”. So if one were to take her literally, by her own description, Ms. George identifies as an insurance product, an annuity contract?

Ms. George previously was affiliated with BTG Advisors until about 2 years ago and now it seems that they are associated with Lion Grace Capital, another Florida structured settlement factoring firm. that is listed as a member of the National Association of Settlement Purchasers (NASP). Pictures of them were recently scrubbed from the Lion Grace Capital Facebook page and reviews, however they appeared in the 4th row on the left side of the staircase in a group shot of a Lion Grace Capital holiday party.

Lion Grace Capital is not an Annuity Company

Lion Grace Capital does not have a Florida insurance license according to the Florida Department of Financial Services. Ms. George and Lion Grace Capital can’t buy or sell structured settlement annuities. Lion Grace Capital buys structured settlement payment rights which are receivables NOT annuities.

No structured settlement annuitant can sell the annuity funding their structured settlement.

Buying structured settlement payment rights is not the equivalent to buying an annuity.
Selling structured settlement payment rights (structured settlement receivables) is not the equivalent to selling an annuity.

It a shame that structured settlement factoring company operatives would exploit a consumer service form. Life insurance companies that issue structured settlement annuities should take steps to add or beef up existing notices on the documents.

Have you or your loved ones been contacted by Sara George purporting to be “from the Courts”? Let us know.
