I've signed up, for the heck of it - I wonder how big of a scam it is.

I'm not able to find it now but there was an article form marketing/PR professionals to fellow marketeers describing why not to do exactly this what is offered here.
The result of such editing is usually not worth ruining the reputation if the articles are marked as spam.
What they offer is to write them in a way it will not be easily dicovered. And that is braking our rules.
Where do they say that?
Their code of ethics is much like the OTRS practises.

Of course our OTRS practises are .. in practise by openly disclosed OTRS volunteers, and we have no idea how well wikipediaexperts works in practise or who they are in our wikis, editing our articles.
I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt, but someone (WMF?) should ask them to provide a sample of their work for review.
