I am intentionally misspelling it because I think they flood the internet with lies about their business to make it seem legitimate and I don't want to "invite" them to GC.
Does anybody know anything about this group? I can't put my finger on it, but it actually frightens me a little.

Any company that charges you when you sign up to work for them is a scam. Or, even if it's possible for a hypothetical someone to make money doing it, very few will.
Some legit links, as I noticed there are a lot of sponsored reviews online:
Scam
Scam
But in general anything that makes you pay start up costs, doesn't hire you but expects you to not just to be a contractor but actually makes you start your own corporation.. not a successful business plan for you on the bottom of the pyramid.
My big sells Mary Kay. Similarly it requires a bit of a monetary outlay, although more like $100, but if she never sells anything ever again, she's fine. Training was free, and since she uses the products she breaks even without trying. And although her recruiter gets a bonus for her, it doesn't change my friend's income. Pyramid-esque? Yes. Scammy? I don't think so.
