iUniverse?

Apparently, a publishing agency I queried with one of my books gave my information to iUniverse as "good fit" for my "project" (IE: finding an agent for that particular book). I've done some research and all I can really find out is that iUniverse appears to be a vanity press who might be able to get your book (for a fee) in on B&N bookstore. I've politely turned down the sales manager assigned to me as I am not interested in self publishing. I am still receiving emails and phone calls from iUniverse.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this and what their opinions of iUniverse are.

In other thoughts, sometimes my search for an agent frustrates me. But, to quote Lo-Pan from Big Trouble in Little China, "And, yet, like fools, we keep trying." Yep. That's me.
