Any idea where to report them and how to stop the endless calls? Just now the person threatened me with more calls, if I dont sign up and transfer £220. surely this kind of behaviour illegal?

If it's based in Singapore or otherwise abroad I doubt there's much you or anyone else can do. If it's to a landline you could get a call blocker/screener? If you don't give them any money then I'd imagine they'll eventually get bored.

the address is London: 71-75, Shelton Street, London, Greater London, WC2H 9JQ, UNITED KINGDOM

The problem is they call from a different number every time. Can they have unlimited numbers? I blovk every one of them but they seem to not be running of numbers...

That's just an accommodation address - a virtual office that "fronts" for them. You won't find anyone from the company there.

I would imagine that they will be using internet telephony with a breakout onto the phone network somewhere in the UK, so you probably won't have any luck trying to block the calls either.

If you are feeling public spirited you could file a report with Action Fraud, then forget about it. The report with Action Fraud accomplishes nothing practical but it fulfills any social and moral obligation you have to report the criminals.
The most reliable way to stop the calls is to change your phone number. This not only stops these scammers but all the ones that will have your number in future due to you putting it on a sucker's list.
As an alternative you could buy a call screener; the ones that block all your calls and send them straight to answering machine unless the caller is on a whitelist.

Yeah I don’t understand…this was recommended and “endorsed” by Elon Musk. And the reviews online seem good! How can this all be fake?

If you're being serious, with those recommendations, very easily.

It shouldn't need stating but clearly this kind of soliciting works - just because someone says they are Elon Musk does not mean they are Elon Musk, and equally 'reviews' don't necessarily come from real people. 

If you are feeling public spirited, try and keep them on the phone as long as possible, because they cannot scam anyone else whilst they are talking to you. Try asking about their day, shoe size, how Marathons are now called Snickers; or ask them to guide you through transferring money but keep getting it wrong - then ask them to meet you in Aberdeen and you will hand over the money in an envelope to  them personally*, or if you CBA just say 'he's in on the toilet, I'll just go and get him' then leave the phone on the side, or get a really really powerful whistle.
