Now the name of the company has changed, as have phone numbers, but the modus operandii is exactly the same, as is the postal address. I emailed them back and told them that I would not be going and would also report them.
These ripoffs and timewasters need to be stopped. I was lucky, I didn't get to the stage of making a costly trip into London.
