They misguided me that custom duty is not payable if it is on air freight. The person who contacted me on whatsapp told his name Mr Alan David Goschalk. He also provided me company registration certificate, VAT number and suggested me to visit UK government Company House web site to verify. They were very much pushy to make the deal ASAP

User Recommendations:
Suggestions : 1)try to Google with similar business name by making some name combinations like Paper-back to paperback etc
2) check email id. .if it is not using company domain but gmail.com especially if the company Web site has different id
3)don’t rely on whatsapp number provided on email because professional companies mostly use landlines phone
4)verify company address, phone,fax,email with that provided on email
5) Most important. ..send paper mail (hard copy) or paper Letter of Intent or Purchase Order, without emailing scan copy, at the company’s address provided on the website. This ensures delivery to right person
6) send advance amount by bank draft at the address by registered post/courier and get acknowledgement, if the supplier agrees
Number 5 and 6 above may incur some cost but it is worth to mitigate risks
