It sounds like these people may need checking with The Office of Fair Trading.
Similar claims from this other group, but on a different basis
eg:
The OFT has taken action against misleading mailings for a ‘get-rich-quick’ scheme. Devon-based Pauline and Robert Chambers have given undertakings that they will refrain from publishing advertisements that formed part of a promotion for a scheme called Your Private Gold-Mine.
The scheme worked by inviting people through direct mailings to join the Private Gold-Mine Organisation. The organisation claimed to be one of the world’s most rewarding financial associations, making people millionaires every day, and provided testimonials from individuals who claimed to have profited from the scheme.
