Thanks Guys, it did not look right but very new to this area so not used yet to the number of scams that this field seems to generate. Link to this came from an ebay add for an S5.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bitcoin-Antminer-S5-1155GHs-Brand-New-In-UK-/291532074738?hash=item43e0aa6ef2
Purports to come from Kettering Northamptonshire but down the page mentioned Mainland Mining.
The S5 does not fit with the other items being sold so could be a stolen account?

i cant find about your company profile
Mark
we are just a couple of guys who have invested in bulk buying lots of miners from bitmain, we don't have a company profile
a photo of our company would just be a pile of boxes
Visitor
you guys should add your profile even if you don't have a company
Mark
maybe in the future but for now we are doing fine with what we have got

This website looks pretty lame, it screams "scam". No privacy policy page, no contact us page... Amateur as hell. I would look else where.

from what I just read on your conversation , whoever handle it , its not professional and likely it's just another scam , one thing I've learned from talking to legit support stuff , they will do best to get your attention in using their services but in this case , he didn't

I wouldn't trust it. Judging by that chat you had with them, it's obvious that they don't want to disclose their location, all they want is to
get your money. Keeping their location a secret can have no legit reason to support it, it's like hiding location of supermarkets and banks ...
imho just an another scam in the making.
cheers

Blatant scam, it's not hard to see what these guys are planning to do

No photos, no details about owners, no address = another mining SCAM!!!
Stop feeding scammers with your coins.
Invest into PoS coins instead, much safer and equally profitable.
