a few stories of close calls to being scammed - they were pro's:
Columbia, South Carolina

Answer an ad for a sales job... told to come down for group interview.. walk into a room of like 80 people.

They start their welcoming speech and start explaining about the wonderful world of selling nutritional supplements. Nearly bored to tears.

Then this fat lady gets up and she is addressed as "And this is Sue our INTERNATIONAL Marketing Manager... she takes care of South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia..." omfg.. I heard enough...
Then they try and wow us with "our president via satelite TV connections has a nationwide meeting with everyone once a month from his mansion in Belize."

then the shills in the audience start whispering "oh I cant wait to sign up $300 isn't much to get in this business honey! let's do it."
and other encouraging whispers.

Finally she says these educated words clearly pandering to us idiots who showed up for this in her best made up southern accent out of thin air:

"if y'all ain't gots the same vision as us and dont want to be a millionaire.. there's the door."

at that moment I got up and left.
