It is easy to find interesting information about that business ..

Domain

The UK registrar of domains says it was registered in March last year and says

Nominet was not able to match the registrant's name and/or address against a 3rd party source on 26-Mar-2020

That isn't good

Address

The street address on their webpage is an address occupied by a school (e.g. check google maps and use the streetview feature to examine the frontage)

That isn't good.

Company registration

Their record at Companies House says

Company status Active — Active proposal to strike off

(!) Confirmation statement overdue First statement date 30 May 2020 due by 13 June 2020

That is a sign of a badly run company

Their filing history shows

17 Nov 2020 First Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off
31 May 2019 Incorporation. Statement of capital on 2019-05-31, GBP 6,000

So that's a tiny business allegedly started with £6000 capital which is about to be struck off the company register.

That's a strong indication of a fraudulent (or just very incompetent) business


The above easy checks are ones anyone should do before sending money to strangers.
