I dunno, I had this dude who was probably 25 talk to me at the track all day about what I was doing, my experience, does my experience at my day job correlate to working/setting up my car. In the end he was trying to recruit people for this company and it sounded like a pyramid scheme.

At first he seemed like he was interested in doing track days so I was happy to talk with him, he was there with friends. Then it turned at the end of the day when I was packing up and I was like GTFO.

I'm kinda surprised that would be allowed.

Grrr... BTDT I'm so offended by manipulation that simply picturing your story makes me want to shower off the slime.

Years ago a meeting was coordinated with me on the premise of them needing a website. I show up and it was a group meeting/recruiting event for a pyramid scheme. And it was an hour in before that actually started so I thought it was just something else at the same time and unfortunate timing and the boss dude was just delayed...
Then it was hard to just walk out... My (now wife, then GF) ultimately showed up freaked out and rescued me. Cell phone didn't work in the building, etc. Not sure I even had sms available.
It has left me with a long-lasting distrust that applies to far more than I expected at the time... Like organized religion or any kind of paid company rep...
