This post is the first I have heard of this company.  Thanks for sharing it!
Based in the UK... interesting. 

The images look awful similar to some of the Butterfly Labs' units. 
What's with the $100 shipping per device?  :o

Be careful about that, could be some thief... It looks like those from BFL which are not available yet.
I must also admit that those pictures look like copy-paste-modify in the MS Paint :P

More than likely a scam. Furthermore the contact address for the business is a family house.

I seams to be very easy to create a fictiv company and hope that somebody spend a lot of money to wonder machines which print money.

This is obviously a scam. They just took the pictures from BFL and did a bad job Photoshopping the logo's off. I can tell because of the pixels. Even worse, they created a FrankenMiner by putting two of the form factors together to make one for the 100GH/s miner. Obvious scam is obvious.
