Yes it is a scam. They are using a redirect number that could be anywhere in the world.
They will claim that they are going to pay a 60% percent portion of the expenses. This claim is to put you at ease.
They do not pay anything but will attempt to get you to part with the 40% for a position that does not exist.
The questions are set in order to make the thieves look like a legitimate business.

Unfortunately, there will be paying victims to this scam as a simple Google search shows that they have advertised on free employment sites all over the world.
However, your post will help save others who may do a little research on this fake company.
