can someone look into this one

There is virtually no mention of the name on the internet in spite of their claimed history and I wouldn't touch a company that used a privacy protection service to hide its identity on its WHOIS. The website having only existed for a week is not encouraging and it's not possible to know if it's claiming to be an incorporated company or a 'one man band'.

I also note that there are no privacy terms on the website or any terms and conditions.

There is no phone number mentioned, only a fax number.

I wouldn't be happy to give them any personal private details of mine.

They've left some of their working out online.

Giving your personal financial details to someone you know nothing about can get you involved in all sorts of problems.

Don't do it.
