Suspected internet scam

I found the following on the internet and it smelled like a scum all the way
The link to the website is

 http://www.mcroyandeffietech.com/

The scum seems to try use the hype that is has been created by the new Konza city that is being advertised and promoted by the government . Konza city is a city that the Kenyan government hopes will spiral the country to being the technology hub of the region . The city will be have a highly connected fiber cable infrastructure and the core businesses operating in the city will be IT firms.
 The scum offers jobs to prospects in the form of IT support jobs and states you follow the below link

The page asks you to deposit 8 USD with a bank account no provided . Rule of thumb in internet jobs is no employer asks for your money to consider you for a job unless its a recruitment agency.
The links at the top of the page are none operation .Which implies a shoddy job and a reputable agency would have noted flaws like that .
