Dear agausling-ga,

Although this company is a registered UK limited company, I would NOT
deal with it. I do not have the names of people you are dealing with,
nor the company registration documentation (you can obtain that by
payment), but with the information I have found, it leads me to
suspect that it is a fraudulent company.

A company by that name is registered at UK Companies House. Note that
it was only incorporated in January 2006. You can purchase a report
containing general company information and current appointments from
the Companies House web site. I suspect it is not a company of any
substantial value.

Name & Registered Office:
MOBILE CITY (UK) LTD

Company No. 05669129
		
Status: Active
Date of Incorporation: 09/01/2006

Country of Origin: United Kingdom

There is no web site for the company and you may interested in the
remarks on this message board.

The telephone numbers you have provided are all known as ?find me
anywhere range?. In other words, they do not transfer to a fixed
location such as an office, but can be transferred to other numbers
such as mobile telephones, or collected from a messaging centre. It is
easy to provided false details to obtain these numbers.

These numbers have been used before and each of the UK companies with
which they have been associated are now dissolved and no longer
trading (if they ever were). Also, different addresses have been
supplied. I should add that they may have been dissolved by the
regulators as they did not file accounts or regulatory information on
time. I would have to purchase the records to ascertain this.


These are the companies:

Skyblue Altlantic Limited enrolled as a member of Busytrade.com on 6th
January 2006 and but by the 10th it was dissolved.

I have also just confirmed with the Customs and Excise that the VAT
number you have quoted does not apply to MOBILE CITY (UK) LTD.

To supplement Answerfinder's excellent answer, I have obtained details
of the one director and the one company secretary: the legal minimum
required. They have the same surname and they have given the same
address in Leeds, which is different from the Registered Office.

Having checked I can confirm that neither has (or has held) any other appointments.

This confirms that whilst this is a 'real company' the utmost caution is required.
