When I was in college this guy I know came to my fraternity house and tried to recruit people for a company called ACN.

LOL, I was tricked into an ACN meeting too, maybe 4-5 years ago. I must be a magnet for these things.

Actually, on its surface it sounded more plausible than Quixtar - everyone needs utilities, so just get them to change over to ACN. Easy, right? But obviously these things come with a pyramid-shaped catch which I didn't stick around to find out what. Also, I was pissed that the meeting was on a Saturday night, effectively ruining it.

Funny thing, the next week I called the guy who talked me into going to the second Quixtar meeting to get his take on ACN, and he said it sounded sketchy, haha.

And let's not forget Excel or whatever the name of that long distance phone company is/was. Had some guy come over to my place once and pitch that to me.
