A few years ago, I got tricked into a "job interview" that ended up being a 3 person Primerica tag team. It was kinda funny actually, the more I resisted the more bizarre their tactics became. They ended up calling the "boss", who is SO RICH, on his YACHT in THE KEYS. Then they handed me the phone so he could convince me that I was throwing away an amazing opportunity. Funny stuff.

Same thing happened to me when I was 20ish.
Used to do some freelance work for an IT consulting co that shared office space with one of these types of outfits. They were pushing mineral supplements.
I'd go by the office and the guy would have a "seminar" going on that evening.
You walk around and there would be Xerox copies of checks for thousands of $'s lying in very conspicous places, on the copy machine output tray, on the reception desk, etc...
Total scam. As already mentioned, the biggest money makers in these things are the people HOSTING the event, not the attendees.
