Vector Marketing, they called it. My roommate pretty much laughed in my face after i told her about my "new job."
My brother's high school just sold the names and contact information of its students to Cutco, and he has been receiving calls, mail, and emails from them almost daily trying to get him to sell their products. On top of that, a couple of my brothers friends actually got roped into it, so my parents have been getting sales pitches from them weekly.
