Vector has been very prevalent in my area. They sent several letters to both myself and friends, as we were young, college students. Also, the movie theater was a prime target for them to leave their little cards under your wiper blade. It was so annoying and this summer they seem to have definitely cut back on their promotional, annoying garbage. Also, this past year during college we had a "recent graduate from the university" come into several lecture classes and collect names of those interested in internships. I, being a silly freshman, filled out a slip and was called that night by the guy. He invited me to an information session, though I had to choose a specific time as I assume they took attendance. Then, he made sure I took down all the information he had rattled off by asking me to repeat the information back to him. Needless to say, I realized at once what kind of mess it would be and did not attend the meeting. I was never contacted again, except a former high school classmate, who was also working her way up in the company, would tell my boyfriend and I just how awesome and rewarding it was. All during the year, in the Student Union, these scammers would sit "interviewing" potential interns and overhearing the conversations I could tell just how uncomfortable the college students were. Seriously, the group of guys running the show who were all under 30, were in the Union everyday talking about their door-to-door book sales company. I'm not sure how many people they wrangled in, but from the looks of the meetings at the end of the year, it looked like the same few, mainly males, who were still going through the training process. I know they'll be back again next year and will warn all of our new members and other freshman to stay away from those scheisty young men.
