Ring United and give them the booking details if it's legit then do it.
But I'd be opening an account with £300's in it and give him that details or even better pay with credit card because you have massive come backs (legally) with credit cards because the creditor is liable in a sense as a 3rd party so if he does load up your card you contact your card company and they there legal department take over and chase them + reimburse your card.
I had it twice. One was a company that took my payment for some coilovers and went bust and another Internet transaction where the parts never turned up so i rang my card company they asked for as much evidence (copy of emails receipts etc) and reimbursed me same day.
