Dude! I think one of these people tried to contact me a few weeks ago.

I was on a walk with my baby and pass the Hilton where a bunch of business dressed men were lounging. As I pass I hear footsteps rush up behind me and next thing I know a very young (maybe 17-19 year old) man is chatting me up. He compliments my generic Target carry bag and is asking me about my daughter. I'm in a good mood so I humor him with some conversation. We walk and chat a few blocks until he asks me what I do for work. I tell him I'm a forklift operator at a warehouse. He asks if I'm open to other opportunities and all of a sudden his tune changes. I say yes depending on how good the opportunity was. He says he needed to talk to his mentor and can't promise anything, but he kept going on about "driving businesses online". I asked what exactly that meant as I have some IT background and he kept giving vague, dodgy answers.

At this point he started to seem desperate to exchange contact info. He wants me to take his number so i take my phone out of my pocket and he sticks his hand out as if I was going to hand him it. I tell him no thanks, I'll type it myself. I type it into notepad and he insists I do it in the dialer and call him so he has my number. I tell him I will do it later when I have time. At this point I think he gave up and I told him good luck next time.

I still have his number, I will probably use it when I register accounts onljne that I know will result in spam calls.

These people are apparently heavily recruiting in the Portland/Vancouver WA area. This meeting happened in downtown Vancouver. Be careful my dudes and dudettes.

Someone I used to work with gave my number away and I got a voicemail from some random dude talking about a "great opportunity to make some money on the side." I have no doubt it was this or some other disgusting MLM scam.

Had to go to the Vancouver Mall recently, and it was obvious that some MLM was doing "interviews" at some of the small circular tables they have in some of the walkways. I heard them say "be your own boss" and "grow your business".
