I know a guy, a formerly close friend from college, who reported exactly the same experience! He went out to San Francisco in the summer of 1973 (the summer before he started college) and met a really beautiful girl who was super friendly and nice, but he realized after talking to her for awhile that she was trying to recruit him into some cult. He thought it was scientology, but wasn't 100% sure.
That might have been the same girl!

Yesirree, they were known for that, sending out women to invite guys to the meetings. Set the hook and drag them in. I thought at first it must be because I was so good looking (LOL), but I figured it out as she kept on talking. Their big headquarters at the time was in SF.
And yes, it was the summer of 1973, either July or August—my Dad went on a business trip to San Francisco and brought me along so we could do some father-son bonding after he was finished with his meetings. The trip was partly a reward because I had done well in my summer school classes. I was going into my senior year in high school.
Could very well have been the same girl.
The other thing that happened on that trip is I saw President Nixon making a speech out in the open, I think it was some plaza in the Financial District. My Dad and I were eating lunch at some nice restaurant in the top floor floor of some office building and we could see a teeny tiny Nixon in a crowd far below.
