I wanted to provide an update to the community of East County that there are STILL strangers who will approach you in public in order to sell a "course" or "workshop" for creating disposable income. Me and my partner were at Barnes & Noble in Santee when a normal looking white guy approached us, gave me a compliment, and tried to start a casual conversation so he could ask questions about our goals, jobs, etc. He brought up a couple that he and his wife are friends with who managed to make enough money to quit their 9-to-5's. My partner realized what was happening early on but we didn't want to be rude in case this guy was just lonely, and he went on for about 20 minutes before my partner could make an excuse to leave. I didn't realize the whole thing was a pitch until my partner told me as we were leaving. Lo and behold, as we were leaving the parking lot, he was came out right afterwards. I have never experienced this before and when researching, I noticed that previous posts about similar situaitons are at least a year old. I just wanted to make this post to let everyone in the area know to be aware that this is still happening!
