Trader, you're right that this guy is in error about the Crown Center hotels, and it might be better for him to mention the possibility that $56 might not cut it in the Loop. However, several BFT users have reported success at $56 in the last couple of months. A few others have succeeded in the low $60s. In other words, if he's off at all, it's not by much.
So, one factual error and excessive confidence that he'll get that $56 rate make this guy a scam? A bit of an overstatement, don't you think?
