The last few weeks I've had this guy whose been trying to "push" a "unique business opportunity" on to me. He goes on about how he likes not having to work when he doesn't want to and how great his life is but not once has he told me what the business is about. Instead, he invites me to these conventions (which I'm sure aren't free) Normally I'd tell him to buzz off but he was pretty tricky. We became friends before he started bringing up this scheme so I'm finding it difficult to tell him off.
Then on top of that, my wife meet a friend at a store whose been doing the same shit. This stupid girl gave our phone number to 2 other guys who keep calling. We invited the one girl over for a dinner party with friends and family (big mistake) and she brought along this guy who started preaching to us. He went on and on about how he always had a dream about this country to work on his own and blah blah blah. Not once did he ever mention what he does though. At the end, he starts talking about how he takes his kids to McDonalds on Monday morning if they want because he doesn?t have to work. I'm like, wtf are you doing 300 miles from home preaching to strangers if your business is so great ( Of course I didn't say it because I was being polite) My dad went off on him at one point telling him why should he be interested in starting this work when he owns his own business and is retiring next year. Of course the idiot tried to tell him it was a great opportunity to work from home.
The best part is both groups are trying to get me to come to Philly next weekend for some big international convention. I just found that part amusing. The girl even had the gall to tell my wife to quit her job if she has to for this convention!
Does this sort of crap sound like "scamway" to anyone? I'm thinking of just asking these people for the company name so I can look it up. I doubt I'll get it though

Cliff Notes:
[*]People bothering me about a unique business opportunity
[*]They never mention what the business is
[*]They try to get me to come to these conventions
If you know of any other scheming companies, post em!
UPDATE: The moron called me finally (my wife's friend's friend from Jersey) and tried to get me to sign up to change my life forever. I talked to him for over 3 hours telling him how much of a scam quixtar is. I could go into details but it'd just bore you but man it was fun! At the end I told him I can not be associated with a company that has no morals and steals from people and destroys families. After that line, he goes "So what time are we gonna meet on Thursday." LOL
My wife kept telling me to hang up but I figured the only way to get rid of this scum was to waste as much time as possible. Of course, he hasn't called me since. I figure I did a good deed. I kept him from calling other poor victims.
