Is this job a scam?

I've found and actually applied for the job through this link that I found on Universal Jobmatch.
Shortly within 5 minutes I've received an email from someone thanking me for applying, and also, they told me to watch a 12 minute DVD video through a link in the email which I did.
I've watched the DVD, and while it was highly unexciting I still asked the person a few questions, and when I'd be able to start, and I haven't been replied to since which was currently an hour ago.
It is supposed to be a part time job of delivering catalogues where you're meant to earn £400-£600 a week.
I've looked online and can't find anything like company history or anything, I found only a Facebook page and it only had 4 likes, I'm starting to get concerned as to whether this is even a real job or one of the Universal Jobmatch scams that's gone and caught me.
Anyone have any idea if this is real or is it a scam job advert?

that wage is pie in the sky for simply delivering catalogues0 -
It's not a scam, but it feels like it, as you have to collect those catalogues too, ok if you don't mind putting in hours of effort for little or no money, stay well clear.0

You won't find any information about vision focus group, because that won't be whose catalogues you are delivering.
Vision focus group will be a desperate MLM [STRIKE]businessman[/STRIKE] sucker trying to recruit more suckers, so that he can build his downline to increase his pitiful income.
If you want to alienate all your friends and family (by trying to flog crap to them or sign them up) then go for it, but don't be fooled by the £600 per month earnings, very few MLMers rise to those giddy heights.0 -
That link says £400-£600 a month not a week. I don't know about this particular company but my neighbour gets that for delivering leaflets.
I think this could be kleeneze
Edit: Sorry answered before all the others did just a slow typist
Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.0 -

If it is Kleeneze and it certainly looks like it is, then it isn't a JOB. You would be self employed and your earnings would come from commissions earned on the sales that you make from the goods in the catalogues after deducting costs involved.
Bound to be a thread about it on here if you do a search.'The only thing that helps me keep my slender grip on reality is the friendship I have with my collection of singing potatoes'

If its anyone like Kleeneze you should find out if you have to pay for any that are NOT collected.
we have a sign on our door saying no junk mail and we throw all things like that in the bin so that's one less the person needs to collect
