Are COVID visa extensions still available in Thailand, or is the offer from the visa agency a scam?

 not at all. As Craig suggested below, do a Thai language course. It will only benefit you while living in country anyway. You will lower your monthly outgoings by 75%, compared to living in the US. Save up for your elite visa and enjoy Thailand 👍

Get an ED visa over there for a year ($1200). Lower your monthly outgoings and save up for the elite visa.
