I'm a bit confused about the bank and the criminal saying that they wanted to close your account. That seems like an extreme reaction, rather than just cancelling the card.
I suspect that they got your details from the other company (where you made legitimate purchases). Does that company...

Regarding 3-pin sockets, the regulations say that the socket should support BS1363-2. See:
Can You Charge an Electric Vehicle From a 13A Socket? (youtube.com)
It's still possible to charge an EV from a "normal" socket, but there are risks associated with the long charging period....

Yes, it's a 100m limit between devices (e.g. between a PC and a switch), which assumes 90m of solid cable and 10m of stranded cable:
ethernet - Maximum length of **Stranded** Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 cable - Super User
That should be fine for a house and garden, but you could use fibre optic...

I think that a dedicated network cable (option D) is the best bet. Rather than plugging it directly into the router(s), I'd recommend using solid cable, connected to a wall socket in the house and the shed. You can then have short patch cables (stranded) which go between the wall socket and the router...

Just to clarify, there were 2 problems on Friday: a brief Azure outage (due to Microsoft), then a huge outage on Windows machines (due to Crowdstrike).
The fix for the Crowdstrike issue involves booting up the Windows machine (server or client) in safe mode, then deleting a file. That means...

I'm also curious about you saying that this is your first outside contract. Back in 2020, you said that you were closing down your limited company and that you had a net profit of £8k:
Limited Company Closure - Contractor UK Bulletin Board
Where did that income come from?

You asked a similar question a few years ago, and the same answer applies:
Ir35 exemption if company < 200 staff - Contractor UK Bulletin Board
Basically, the exemption means that you're responsible for the IR35 determination rather than the end client. See:
Understanding...

Make sure that you're using binary mode to transfer the file. If you use ASCII mode, Windows and Unix handle line breaks differently (CR+LF on Windows, LF only on Unix). I haven't seen it cause this particular issue, but I have seen it cause corrupted files before.

Since this is 100% of the shares, I think you'd need form PSC04:
Give notice of change of details for person with significant control (PSC04) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
However, I haven't been through this process, so there might also be other steps involved.
Just out of curiosity,...

Actually, this looks similar to a question you asked last year (where someone else gave you the same advice re: money laundering regulations):

There are 2 issues here:
1. How does this affect your limited company and/or tax return?
2. How does this affect the mortgage application?
You're asking about point 1, but you should consider point 2 as well. When you apply for the mortgage, the bank will want...
