Interestingly I have located a company recorded as having its registered office at that address by the name of EUROPEAN BUSINESS MACHINE LIMITED. It is recorded at Companies House as being formed 28/09/2011 and appears never to have submitted accounts, being shown as 'Newly Incorporated'. :?

It is a UK and EU legal requirement that an incorporated company shows details of their company registration on any website they create. I must therefore presume that the website is unconnected with the incorporated company, as it doesn't do this.

The website MUST therefore be fraudulent.

We sell types and sizes of oil containers prices and shipping costs on applecation.


Cider too ? :laugh-s:
