After a week, they sent me an employment agreement stating my job description and my weekly salary of 1000GBP with 300GBP medical benefits which they sum up to 62,400GBP annually.. By the way, the position offered was accountant which will be part of their company expansion. When they asked me to pay the visa thru Western Union, that started my suspicion. I responded and asked what will happen to my payment once I fail the interview and they responded that the offer is not based on the interview. Another thing is, I asked for a landline and they provided me this +447024033291 - I tried to contact the number and it seems that it's operational but due to the researches that I did, I am thinking that it might have been a redirected line as well. Please let me know if this is a scam.

You didn't sign it sharply, did you? That should give it away immediately, along with how loudly scammers bellow their informations.

The website is fake, as is obvious from its whois record. Someone must have reported and killed it.

The number beginning +44702 is a phony number. All numbers beginning +4470 are.

No legitimate company or government asks for payment by Western Union. Visas are arranged, not through a travel agent in the country you're going to as scammers pretend, but through an embassy or consulate of the country you're going to in the country where you are now.
