Great that you sensed something wasn’t right and didn’t send the scammer your bank details. We traced the scammer's location to Russia (information shown below). Meanwhile, the contact page on the fraudulent marginsafety.com website claims that the fake company is located in London.

Country Russian Federation
Region & City Sankt-Peterburg, Saint Petersburg
Coordinates 59.894440, 30.264170 (59°53'40"N 30°15'51"E)

The forms have been removed from the Google Drive download links provided by the scammer in the above scam email, but I had downloaded and saved the forms last month before they were removed (see below). It appears the scam involves either fake check payments or some other form of fraudulent money transfers.
