Contract offer thru email from Acteon Group

I have recieved a contract offer from Acteon group thru email... most of the correspondance has been thru email but i did recieve a call asking me about the position. I know they are base out of the UK but i wanst even given a formal interview just an assessement i filled out and sent back. Does anyone think this might be a scam.

I recently got the same thing a job offer through e-mail, with out an interview. I'm guessing they cant give a formal interview because there Head Quarters is in the UK...IDK though!

Yes, it is a scam. They will eventually ask you to forward some money via western Union to obtain a work permit. No one will hire you without a personal interview by employer or recruiter.
