This is a standard African scam.

The first phone number is provided by a company that offers VOIP--usually there is a way to access VOIP numbers remotely, which is no doubt what the scammer is doing. The other phone numbers are standard redirect phone numbers--they look like UK phone numbers, but in reality they are forwarding numbers that are forwarded to phones all over the world.

In other words, the scammer is pretending to be in UK. In reality, he is most likely in Western Africa or Malaysia (where there is a large cell of African scammers).

I noticed the name of mike anderson in the above post. Regretably still in scam land it would appear.
Here is an earlier effort from the individual.

As Dotti said the phone numbers are those redirect type ones. A more detailed description can be seen here on the page viewtopic.php?f=26&t=13567
Also the Fax:+44-7092882499, is in reality an international redirection type mobile number too.
