Who here knows if this is a scam?

So some time ago I was scrolling Instagram and saw an ad that there's a silicon valley Africa program by some company called First Of All LLC...

I applied,didn't think much of it (Brainfart 0.5)...

Then I got an email today praising me to high heaven...I've progressed to phase 2 where they'll due diligence my ass to see my criminal record and what not ,arrange for my visa (they assist)...for a tiny $20 (hmm...but ok,...Brainfart 1.0 loading?)before I paid,

I decided to go ahead and actually research these guys....hold on....their news articles by Yahoo etc..are all paid articles and don't even mention a program director or even 1 team member....

Their website doesn't even mention the team directors as well for the program...just an itinerary...their main website is some sort of identity and authentication site...but no about no team..

I've done some napkin maths and if these guys are a scam, a blended $25 (there's a $30 program),assuming 10,000 applications across the 6 countries they are looking at...$250k and they can claim we all failed.

Wadau,I believe I can fly....but was I about to be thrown off a tree and told to flap my arms ?
