The Yahoo email address used to register the site:
http://profiles.yahoo.com/as0001959
Listed as Alex Male Illinois, a far cry from a supposedly legitimate company based in the UK.

A quick Google search on the email used to register the fake site reveals this:


The search reveals that Yahoo email address has been used on previous scam sites and for spam emails:
http://db.aa419.org/fakebanksview.php?key=44259

I don't think "as0001959" is a common or commonly duplicated term so I did an additional search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22as0001959%22&start=0&sa=N&filter=0
"as0001959" leads to another email address and several ads on the internet for dating sites.

Suffice to say this appears to be a typical Nigerian scammer.
I hope no one falls prey to any scams using this site.
