That's more or less what most companies claiming to be "carbon neutral" do, it's hardly a unique scam
Even if they were doing it themselves, a paid employee would be paid to do it. I don't see how paying an "actual tree planting company" is much different, unless they straight up didn't do it.
You probably get a lot less trees out of it. More companies need their admin cuts, so maybe by the end of the line your $100 for trees is only $10, if that.
