I am glad you came here for advice before wasting any time with them, OP. It's confirmed that the website is a scam. Probably the person who introduced you to it is the one behind it.
Like others have said above, it is a scam website. Also, I just want to share I found an identical website(after running it on google lens) but with different name(image below). a lot of scam website recycle the same UI and plater a different name.
I have discovered a few websites that look similar to the one OP shared but not through Google Lens. I don't know if one of them is the same as the one you discovered.
