Welcome to Scamwarners IronGirl09 and I regret to inform you that it's undoubtedly a scam.

There is no such company registered at UK Companies House, which is a legal requirement.

The website quotes a scammer's 44 70 redirect telephone number which looks like a genuine UK number but can be redirected anywhere in the world. There is no need for a genuine UK company to use it and it makes incoming callers pay a premium rate, which isn't good business practice.

The real organisation based that that address can be viewed here.

Emeka is a Nigerian name and we are aware that many work from Malaysia whereas it's unlikely that a UK company would host their website there without there being a good reason.

Sending money hidden inside a laptop is also a pointless thing to do.

If you could paste the header of the mail you received (with your addie removed) it would be helpful in enabling us to have the website closed down as being a fake.

Welcome Irongirl!

As Gomer said, it is 100% scam. The writing tells me you are dealing with an African scammer, and I have seen this approach many times.

Ths scammer plans to approach you through the fake shipping company. You will be told that the parcel is held up somewhere, and that there are fees/bribes/taxes to be paid on the (nonexistent) parcel to release it.

Notice how he says he wants to visit you in "your country" instead of actually referencing where you are. That's because this is a particularly lazy scammer, using the exact same words on multiple victims, and he can't even be bothered to update for each individual victim.
