Not spam per se. More a fairly standard if reasonably well done
working from home training scam. Not a vast amount we can do about it.
They are probably breaking some kind of trading standard laws but well
if those kind of laws were enforced online there would be far fewer
pyramid schemes.

The name is either because they think wikipedia makes it look kinda
respectable or because it is a useful keyword (try typeing wikipedia
into ebay sometime).
