I was today on mail from another family had a same pics [email protected]

Hello Dear.

My Name is Dr Richard Solomon an Irish citizen but leaving and working in UK. I saw your profile on at newaupair.com and we have decided that you come and care for my only son Peter. My son is very easy going, likes playing and laughing all the time although must time he is talkative but to something great and important mostly what they taught him at school.

About Our Family

We are a professional couple, living in a big UK city. My Wife and Son is fairly easy going and relaxed persons. Having English as a first language is not much required in fact, we would entertain you speaking to my son in your own mother-tongue sometime so as to create fun.

If you accept to take the position, you would be paid 850GBP monthly with a weekly pocket money of 150GBP. I guess you'd say this is much, but my Company pays us well and I love my only child so much. Hence we are doing anything that would motivate you putting your best in taking care of my son Peter.

Should you accept the offer, we are willing to undertake the full cost of your traveling down here in UK. We would recommend a reputable travel agency immediately here in UK that would process your travel documents because we need you quite soon.

Kindly send an introduction letter about yourself and your current picture for evaluation. You can call me via my mobile phone number +447024021613 so that we would establish a vocal contact with you.

Regards,

Dr Richard Solomon

Welcome to ScamWarners Ingrid. The phone number is a redirect number which allows the user to appear to be in the UK, while they can be in any other place in the world.

The wording used in the email is NOT that of a native English speaker.

The travel agency they will recommend is not a REAL travel agency at all, but is part of the scam.

The other reason it is a scam is that you can NOT move to the UK to be a nanny / au pair. Please read the warnings in this topic area. Do NOT ever send money by Western Union for documents or travel documents. Governments and real businesses do not use money transfer services.

I hope this helps you.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

I've gotten these from [email protected]

I am glad I found this site anyway! I've got already a few scam emails. Fortunately when they talked about the salary I became suspicious so I searched their email or the number they gave me in google and that's how I found this site.
