From that scam site that he's pushing:
"The typical Cost of Flight Training in 2018 cost anywhere between $60,000 to $120,000 to train as a commercial pilot. Our program offers and finances the exact same FAA certified programs for $9995 with $750 down and $193 a month interest free!"
It is very funny. Grammatical errors throughout the site. No specifics. $9995 for what exactly? Just laughable. If you are going to try to scam, at least make an attempt at believability.
Oh wait, unless you feel so bad that you submitted your SS# you want to see other people fall for it too. Repeat after me: Identity. Stolen.

I can predict with certainty that you won't last much longer here, but also with some reliability that you'll have some legal troubles starting soon...or you'll close your little scale web site down and run with whatever money you get.
The damn website is written by someone who knows nothing about aviation and it reads like someone grabbed few details of the internet without understanding what they mean, and rubbed them together in a half-hearted effort to sound credible.
You'll get two months of ground school and fifteen hundred hours? Seven hundred fifty down and one ninety three a month, it says? Yet later in the same page it states that the cost is 95 down, and 25 a month. Did anybody read this crap before they threw it together, or do you really think people are that stupid?
I tell you what. I forwarded the link to the Phoenix FBI office and to the Federal Trade Commission. Other contacts to follow.
Imagine. A one hundred twenty thousand dollar training program reduced to just 1499. You've revolutionized the industry, and with any luck, will have a lot of time to gloat about that from behind a very small window, in a very small cell.

As I suspected, the place was abandoned. A FOR RENT sign was in the window. Lights out. No cars in front of the building. I tried the door. Nobody there. I looked in the windows. No evidence of any business being run inside.
In fairness, their web site only includes a grainy picture of the Scottsdale location, and a note that states it's a "processing center." It states that appointments are not available for that location, and little wonder. There is a small sticker on the window which identifies the location as belonging to "Hempleaf," and there are two parking spaces out front with a stencil spray-painted "HEMPLEAF" in black letters. The sticker on the door has a small image of a marajuana leaf.
Whether they want to call themselves a pilot funding site or just fall back on "grandparents of America," I have zero doubt that this is a scam as it bears all the hallmarks, and I'm posting this to make it clear to anyone who entertains the slightest thought of doing business with them: I've been to their place of business, and they don't exist. Legitimate operators do not do this, especially those considering financing careers to the tune of a hundred thousand dollars a pop. Far from a facility that features a live person to process requests, it's dark, lights out, with a for-rent sign in the window.
"Jrose22" is absolutely, 100%, full of ****.
