Answer 1

Hi

Go to this link : http://www.scamomatic.com/  , paste your all subject matter. You will come to know, all the info related to valid number and spam mail-id.

The mail id and phone number given above is blacklist as per "419" scam  and one more things their is no company by this same name.

see the details in http://www.419scam.org/

I think, rest decision you can take at your own risk.

Answer 2

I am the owner of Travel Stop - a legitimate travel agency in the UK with two branches.  We have been trading successfully for 17 years.  A few weeks ago I started receiving emails and phone calls from people abroad who thought I could provide them with work permits and visas for the UK.  They wanted to speak to a \Mr Kerry Ben.  The email address they contacted me on was the correct address - not the one that is shown above.  Mr Kerry Ben does not work for Travel Stop, and never has.  I had never heard his name before. I have advised everyone who has contacted me not to part with any money.  The police have been informed, and I can only hope they are dealing with this quickly and efficiently.

Answer 3

I checked the ABTA website for you. They are registered with Abta, their full name is Travel Stop World choice

ABTA Number: G3871 &  W5522

ATOL Number: 5612

Answer 4

They may be a "genuine" company, but those phone numbers provided are mobile phone numbers which are "find me anywhere in the world" numbers and more often than not are used in scams...see below for more details and whatever you do, do NOT part with any money if they are asking for money for visas or documents, or courier delivery etc...

"Scam phone numbers in the United Kingdom (+44):

Most "419" scams using +44 70xx numbers involve emails that are sent from Nigeria and other West African countries, not from the UK! If you see a +44 70xx number in a 419 scam email it usually means you're dealing with criminals based in Nigeria.

UK phone numbers starting with '70' are "Personal numbering" in the "Find me anywhere" range. Charges for calls to these numbers are not distance-dependent. They can cost as much as UKL 0.50 (USD 0.90) per minute to call and can forward the call to virtually any phone number in the world. Forwarding numbers can be set up for free and completely anonymously via websites such as uknumbers.com.

In most cases when you call one of these numbers the phone that starts ringing will actually be a mobile phone somewhere in Nigeria, as the UK number has been programmed to auto-forward calls to another number. These +44 70xx numbers are used as a redirector service to obscure the fact that the person taking the call is not actually based in Europe. The UK number is used to lend credibility to the scam."

I just typed Travel Stop Agency into Google and came up with this answer...

http://www.travel-stop.co.uk/

You will see that there definitely is a company by that name...BUT... the telephone numbers given on their site do not match the numbers you have provided.  Also the email address is co.uk and not .com.

I'm sorry but I think you are being scammed.
