Allstate has been known to hire outside thugs to do their dirty work, then they claim you're in good hands. Allstate has been known to use illegal wiretaps, and break into homes and ransack them for information. If you are insured with Allstate, you better have back-up insurance for not only what you are insuring, but on your life. When it comes time for them to pay,they just may have a knife or gun instead of a check in their hands. Obviously Allstate has learned a lesson or two from the mob of the old days.
Power makes right.
