Seems dodgy although in a follow up email they provided a company number which I did a search on and it checked out. They could've just usurped the name and number of a legit company though. Googled it and another company by the same name came up. There are some spelling and syntax issues in the email too. No first name of the HR person, etc etc.
On the other hand they use a proper email address, not just gmail and they sent me a second email after I said I was interested linking me to a web page that is pretty thorough:

I'm pretty sure it's a scam but just wanted some other opinions. Thanks!
