That reminds me of an 'interview' I went on shortly after college. There was a job ad in the paper looking for energetic people to fill a marketing position. My dad warned me against it, but of course I didn't listen. I went to the interview, and it was a big sales pitch on the company, with about 20 of us prospectives. The energetic marketers were doing a big rally, getting everyone pumped up, though being incredibly vague about what we did. They wanted us to go on a field trip with some of their marketers (or something... I don't remember the exact justification), and I'm embarrassed to say that I got in the car with a couple of them. We then proceeded to drive out to some town, get out of the car, and then they put on an AT&T (or sprint, who remembers) badge and started to walk up to people door-to-door to get them to switch long distance. Not quite as bad as getting beaten up or even having them shake me down for money... but still, stuck without wheels, two towns over, basically forced to walk with these dudes through their door-to-door slimy pitches. I think I pretty much deserved what I got.
