It's provide by United Flight System in Houston,TX,
From what i know, people usually do the CFI as initial, but this program doing the CFII as initial rather than CFI. that's a fresh idea to me.

My question is, is this legal? or are there any possibilities of fraud ??

i'll look up the FAR, and hope you guys can share your thoughts as well!!
You can call your local FSDO (or the one in Houston) and ask. Seems unlikely that he'd be advertising a whole program like that if it were illegal. Note that you still have to add on the "normal" CFI afterwards, or else you'll be stuck with a lot of limitations on your license.
