But what did they want? A little more context? In the US it sounds like they are offering a scholarship to you? Or were they trying to use your mom as a reference for their scholarship?
This is for CutCo (aka Vector Marketing). They tell you to send this exact text message to all your friends. This is in no way this guys fault, because he is just doing what CutCo has told him to do. They have you say scholarship because none of your friends will give you their Mom’s number if you tell them you are trying to sell their parents knives. It is a business tactic this is sly and unprofessional.
EDIT: I worked there for 2 days and quit because all their tactics are this forceful.
EDIT2: To clear things up a little the reason I said it wasn’t this persons fault is because when I went through the training they said as long as you stuck to the script EXACTLY you would make sales and make thousands of dollars throughout your career with them. It’s hard to go off script when they make you think that they have the perfect way of making money. That might seem like the recruit is naive but IT IS difficult to ignore when they are talking thousands of dollars to a college student or a person with very little money.

Are you in Massachusetts? I literally got an email today from a former student trying to sell me Cutco knives and he mentioned a scholarship.
