I sent away for the information as described below and did some research.
Here are two quotes from their material...read on to see why...

"The program needs little effort on your part, but the more people that you
introduce to the scheme, the greater the rewards will be."

and

"As soon as "a $5 gimmick", administrated by JISL, receives your first
payment of $5 (or a similar payment in your currency), it will place you
in a "forced matrix" of 3 to 11. It will use a big portion of your payment
to pay other participants placed in the matrix. This means that
this matrix is growing "under" you, and you too will receive part of future
payments by new members"

=====

While the name is different, I believe that our local Consumer Advisor also
mentioned "People Helping People" as one of the groups to be wary of. I
leave the investigation up to the interested parties. But if you are paying
money to a group whose sole purpose is to have you get new members, that is
usually an illegal pyramid scheme and that is what the LAPD was shutting
down.

Investigate before you invest in any scheme. If it sounds like it is too
good to be true, then it probably is.

From our local Consumer Advisor:

Pyramid schemes
                 You may be invited to a rally at a church, or a
                 hotel ballroom to hear a motivational speaker
                 who will inspire you with phrases like - 'You
                 have a right to be wealthy; to drive a Rolls
                 Royce; to fly around in a Lear Jet' and on and
                 on. How? Just join us and get your friends to
                 join as well with just a $2,000 'donation'. In just
                 a few weeks your money will blossom into
                 $12,000!
                 The Los Angeles Police Department has been
                 on the tail of an organization called Families &
                 Friends Social Club that practiced similar
                 rip-off methods with this game of chance.
                 People so want to believe that there's a free
                 lunch and it's just not true. Stories like this
                 just don't go away. To gain wealth it takes hard
                 work, savings and conservative investing.
                 FYI: A math professor ran the numbers and
                 proved that in just 10 and a half months every
                 person in the world would be involved in similar
                 pyramid schemes if members successfully
                 signed on new members.

See also the LA Times article at:
http://www.latimes.com/CNS_DAYS/990427/t000037869.html where they
submitted:

                  In 1996, similar sounding pyramid schemes called "Friends

                  Helping Friends" and "Friends Helping Friends and Family"
in the
                  San Fernando Valley were broken up when police made
arrests.
