It is definitely a scam.

There are several indicators, but the 4470 phone number makes it a certainty. These are not real UK phone numbers--they are redirect phone numbers that can be forwarded to phones almost anywhere in the world. They are used by scammers who are pretending to be in UK when they are not. Real UK businesses do not have 44-70 numbers.
