Definite scam, but a government-backed scam.

Well, if it is fake it's better value for money than the real website..
Odd! Upon an earlier visit today, the website had been riddled with ad banners. Clicking on one of the payment methods, redirected me to 3rd party adverts. This has now seemingly disappeared. Could point to a potential Pharming attack?
I've visited the site on several devices and browsers and experienced the same. So doubt it could be device malware on my end.

There are no ad banners on the site - the site is clean. Your device is probably infected with malware from another installed app / browser extension.

Most likely all your devices are infected with some malware.
Site loads fine here with multiple browsers, so popup adds or any other issues.

They use SAN's, so nothing wrong with that:

Wasn't there an issue with their site recently with the spam ads etc that many members reported on or was that some other government website?
Re-installed my browser, don't seem to be getting these banners anymore. Apologies! Seems as if some of my devices actually do have malware Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
