Erez Law is currently investigating former MML Investors Services, LLC broker Charles Evan (CRD# 836083) regarding investment losses. Evan was registered with MML Investors Services, LLC in Wellesley, Massachusetts from 2017 to 2019, when he was terminated regarding, “Terminated in connection with allegations concerning inappropriate traditional insurance sales practices.” Previously, Evan was registered with MSI Financial Services, Inc. in Wellesley, Massachusetts from 2015 to 2017. Prior to that, Evan was registered with New England Securities in Wellesley, Massachusetts from 2002 to 2015.
In January 2020, FINRA barred Evan after he “consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that he refused to provide documents and information requested by FINRA, when it began investigating Evan after his member firm filed a Form U5 reporting his termination in connection with allegations concerning inappropriate traditional insurance sales practices.”
Evan has been the subject of three customer complaints between 2019 and 2020, according to his CRD report:

March 2020. “The customers alleged that the representative used unethical sales tactics, denied receiving commissions, omitted information, and forged their signatures and initials on forms to secure the sale of financial products beginning in 2013.” The customer is seeking $5,000.01 in damages in this pending complaint.
