VAT number is real, but belongs to someone else and the company name "T & T Cheesbrough Ltd." does not exist.

Phone numbers are VoIP numbers - useful for someone pretending to be located where they are not.

Domain is in the process of being reported as fraudulent.

Companies House evidences that no such company exists in the UK.

A company of a similar name at that address, not associated with this fraudulent website, advertises itself as gardener.

Website has been suspended.

That was quick, and it's nice to see that all the scam ad spamming the criminals have done has been for nothing.

The fake website cheesbrough-machines.co.uk is alive again and will be re-reported as fraudulent.

BANK NAME: BARCLAYS BANK

That's an interesting bank account AJ.

Under UK law a bank is required to establish the bona fide existence and identity of any incorporated company for whom they open an account. Though we know that the payment system allows criminals to use identities, even when they don't actually hold any account in that name, this represents a horrific flaw in the system enabling fraud, tax evasion and money laundering.

Because Companies House records confirm that there is no such incorporated company in existence in the UK, there can be no such bank account and anyone offering such an account to anyone for receipt of money can be up to no good.
