Clevance,
Hopefully, you didn't give them the full payment up front?
I don't know what to tell you except these schemes are just that "schemes". Some are legit; but most are not. Even the legit ones are so wrong on many different levels. There are many ways of getting ones hours in; it's just a matter of doing some research and you may have to suffer the "indignation" of flying a single engine piston for a while...However, you will get to where you need to go in aviation via General Aviation. My advice, take this as an EXPENSIVE lesson learned; forget about these schemes, and get your instructor certificate/do scenic flying/bush flying etc,etc, etc. The opportunities are there. And face time for jobs like that will go a long way as opposed to just sending out a resume.
