Looks like they were auto-issued for not filing confirmation statements.
I really don't know how (relatively) small companies get 'hacked' out of large sums of money. Hacked implies electronic funds, which would surely be in a bank account - if those were being hacked, then I'd be having strong words with my bank.
Unlikely they had 'substantial' funds in e-wallets surely?
Hacked is very broad term so we don't know the details. Small businesses are gold mine, particularly those who's product is not related to IT as they often lack the skills, technology and process governance to protect themselves. I've seen almost perfect emails that appear to be from a CEO to a finance bod asking for £40,000 to be transferred to a "supplier" for services and can it be today. Similarly from a CFO to the his finance team asking for funds to be transferred. These things do happen.I really don't know how (relatively) small companies get 'hacked' out of large sums of money.

To have repeated instances to claim on your insurance and have them repeatedly wriggle out of a claim is demonstration enough that you don’t know what you’re doing.

It's known as mandate fraud, and the scale of the problem is vast. Office 365 is a common attack vector (often via spear phishing) - If you use Office 365 (or any other accounts for your business that offer remote working) enable two factor authentication as a minimum. 
I'm not generally one for massive regulation, but SOR when combined with the other aspects of company regulation does seem to be an area where fraud is relatively easy.
Maybe it should be allowed, but only with a significant bond posted to a 3rd party to protect the consumer? Or just ban SOR... I rarely hear good stories of SOR deals.

My friend has got somewhere with the DVLA, car is still in his name, so car has been registered as stolen so the poor buyer is going to be out of pocket now.
Wouldn't make any difference. The car will be bought 'in good faith' and likely the buyer will keep the car. Its your friend who will be out of pocket.. A1VDY said:

Currently on going, however is looking like the car hasn't been sold...its been 'sold' to an acquaintance of Steven Prossers.He is a very murky character, his correspondence address as listed in a post above is also the correspondence address for a variety of other businesses.
His parents house is much nicer and also an address for another linked business.
He also linked (although not officially) to a number of other businesses on the same estate. One of those being Buntingford Auto Services (jeremy wilson) who as of 2 days ago started Autotrader Direct Ltd.....
Bloody hell what a shocker. I wonder if its worth posting this thread along with a letter to a few of the more popular TV/YouTube channels that like to investigate fishy goings on? They would snap this up as half the work has been done for them already.
Happens so often though, these companies hide the money run and set up again. There are car sales businesses listed on this very websites car sales section that have renamed themselves more than once after going bankrupt and still selling dodgy cars and then dodging their legal obligations when the cars go wrong.The more they are publicised the better.
