I'm familiar with Outco (disclosure, they are a competitor to my company Formation, and both of us are not bootcamps or directly comparable to bootcamps) and have also had some peope at Formation get super confused by their recent marketing thinking Outco was offering them a job, rather than coaching and mentoring that they were already doing with us.
I would give them the feedback that their new marketing campaign is sketchy. They are a very small company with only a few full time people, they don't have investors, and I don't think this is intentionally trying to be offensive. That said, I'm not saying anything about the quality of the training because I'm super bias and I don't disagree that it might not be worth $5000 for a lot of people... I can say that for many people having structure, direction, FEEDBACK, and practice are extremely valuable and a catalyst to a new job making \~$100K more than their old one, well justifying the cost for some people.
