I don't trust "being hired" by Hegemon Group International

The weird thing about this, is you're offered a job with Hegemon Group International. You don't need any prior experience and they don't want to know much if anything about you beforehand to be willing to hire you. But you're supposed to pay them $150 to $200 for the privelege of working for them, I guess. I thought it was for training, and then Richard Law says it's just a sign up fee actually and for access to their online office. I don't even know whether I would "want" to do this work whether I "can" do the work or not. Looks like it's to keep me in and committed when I might find out later that it's an unfair job or I don't like it.

It's supposedly a very wealthy, successful business from investment mechanics. Money is earned (as a fee) from helping senior citizens or others move their retirement accounts into more favorable, newer types of retirement accounts. I tried asking why my sign up fee or training fee or whatever the $150 has to be for, why I can't pay for it later on with the earnings that I get for working at HGI. I was ignored. Big red flag. If they're that wealthy, they could have had their own perpetual education fund and just let me start working for free.

Apparently my $150, (which I didn't spend on them), was probably like to compensate Richard Law to drive down to where I live, give me my own 45 minute long seminar/introduction because I was his only audience member for the 45 minutes. It doesn't indicate desperation to hire new workforce (especially workforce without prior experience) if that desperation goes away when I don't want to pay $150 before working or earning anything from them. Also, if there was high consumer demand for this service, but not enough labor, Richard shouldn't have this kind of time to go out of his way during a weekday daytime just for me for probably what took 2 hours out of his day in total when I may or may not be interested working for him.

He gave me a frowny/angry emoticon on one of my comments before our meeting as you can see below. He did that because he was confused about whether we would meet at a restaurant or at where I live. Then he decided that I was clear enough actually, so he retracted some comment he made, but didn't get rid of the emoticon. It's not professional; another reason I'm glad I blew him off.
