You may well be right that all of us on here can see that it's a scam ... or at the very least it can't possibly teach you how to master all thosse things from scratch in just two hours. I've seen a computer novice at her first lesson spending most of the time looking for where the keys were on her keyboard. Telling her it's a "querty" board just like a typewriter did nothing to help because it was all the "funny f things" that were throwing her into a panic. These are the sort of people who will see that ad and have no idea how impossible its claims are.
