To whomever it may concern,




This petition is created in an attempt to stop the dishonest company,
VECTOR MARKETING/CUTCO CUTLERY, and prevent the company from scamming
any more innocent college students (victims).


I was actually one of the thousands and thousands of victims that have almost been apart of this ridiculous excuse of a company.



If you have been a victim (or know anyone who has been a victim) of
this very dishonest company and their ridiculous ways of marketing,
please sign this petition and get the word out to as many people as
possible. Those people will also tell all that they can (much like
Vector's very own pyramid scheme or Multi-Level Marketing tactic). The
more people that know about this company, the less that will be apart
of this "brainwashing cult"



Even if you haven't been employed at this company, and wouldn't
like your friends/relatives to be part of such a company, please sign
this petition.



Even the vector managers (if they were smart) wouldn't sign this!!
if there are comments that defend Vector on this petition, you will
know the people are Vector/Cutco "spies" as this is a petition
'Against' Vector. So Please keep a look out.



(Some of the following information has been transcribed from
http://vectormarketing.cjb.net , a very informative website about the
scamming ways of Vector/Cutco Cutlery that I strongly advice that
everyone should check out before reading any further)! This website is
admittedly, mostly one-sided. Use the following text at your own
discretion:




To take a quote from 'The Complaint Station' from a person who works at a student employment office at a college in the US,

"Vector managers and former employees, including those who post at
this site (The Complaint Station -
http://www.thecomplaintstation.com/cgi-bin/frames.cgi?0192 ) are
masters of 'spin.' If you talk with these folks, or read their posts,
you'll see that any objections raised are answered with the same pat
responses. But as is frequently the case, the truth has many pieces to
it, and Vector's employees have mastered the art of 'choosing the
truth, carefully.'

Well, enough from me. Look at these websites for complete
information and make a wise decision. Don't be fooled by the trolls who
defend Cutco here at The Complaint Station. Even if they are telling
some version of the truth, they are the VERY small minority who do well
with this.


FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS WORK FOR VECTOR!"



Now, My opinion (along with many others) is that Vector Marketing
is a SCAM. They might send you letters in the mail, put ads in the
newspaper, on your campus bulletin, and in other creative places all
boasting work usually for $15+ an hour. Vector targets people just out
of high school and maybe a couple years older in college because young
students generally are trainable, ignorant of corporate practices,
non-threatening to potential customers, and don't have many other work
options. When you call up they probably won't tell you exactly what
type of work you will be doing, but they will most likely say that it
is not telemarketing or door-to-door soliciting. Telemarketing AND
door-to-door soliciting is, however, what this COMPANY is all about,
they just have had a miraculous way of disguising it.



The job is selling Cutco knives at peoples' homes and they probably
want as many people as possible to sell them in order to sell as many
knives as possible. You yourself have to fork out money for a set of
knives too ($175, supposedly discounted from $650), in order to display
them to potential customers, and they are incredibly expensive. Not
only that, but they only give you one day to buy it at that price
before they double it ($350). If they were to tell you all of this
straightforwar

I co-sign. There's flyers in just about every classroom. Their sign got me too - "$12+ an hour", "Flexible hours" and all that. They called me for an interview, and it was all the way in Pompano. Where I live in Miami, that's about a good 30-45 minute drive so I declined. But I asked what they do, they didn't tell me. I went on the website, I didn't see it on there either. So I just left that company alone. But who sells knives door to door? Hopefully I'm just showing them pictures and not the actual display, because you'll catch somebody on the wrong day and get yo ass stabbed playing around.
