Of course it is. It is an illegal chain letter.

Of course it is an illegal rip-off.

"Do not be fooled if the chain letter is used to sell inexpensive reports on
credit, mail order sales, mailing lists, or other topics. The primary purpose is
to take your money, not to sell information. "Selling" a product does not ensure
legality. Be doubly suspicious if there's a claim that the U.S. Postal Service
or U.S. Postal Inspection Service has declared the letter legal. This is said
only to mislead you. Neither the Postal Service nor Postal Inspectors give prior
approval to any chain letter."
