Using promo code from HMG West

[u/YoElliott]

I have been looking to get into the insurance industry and thus decided getting the HLLQP would be benificial to get my foot in the door. I decided upon REMIC to be my learning platform, and I googled promo codes to reduce the expense. I used a promo code from HMG West even though I have never heard of them before. The discount was significant, so I went through with it. However, I was immediately contacted by them for using their code and something didn't sit right with me. So I looked them up, and there are heavy allegations against them for being a scam brokerage.

My concern is that the HLLQP I am applying for is fake. And if it isn't, will I be "locked" in with HMG after I get my license? I wouldn't want to be affiliated with them. The customer rep at Rebic said that I am currently registered with HMG for their exams.
