hi, i'm italian and this is my experience. maybe they changed names. now the name is Aaron Lake and his mail andress is: [email protected]
this is one of the mail they sent me:

Hello ,

How are you? We hope this mail meets you in good health and your
family is doing well. We are very glad you could get back to us with
information about yourself. My wife and I will take sometime to
discuss and we will let you know what we decide eventually. We have
full confidence you will love and care for our child just as we do and
we know the two of you will get along well. We hope you will be a part
of our family soon and get to know us better and also share
experiences with us.

We love your pictures especially Lucy.

We would like to clarify you some more;

We live in a four (4) bedroom house at 18 Lyndhurst Gardens C,
London United Kingdom. Our residence is very open and in the city and
there are other Au pairs close by. In the area there is a pub full of
young people, there is also a bus stop outside our house with city
center. We also have parks,cinemas,restaurants,malls,etc around. So it
will be easy to make friends and go places.

We will require you to take good care of Lucy and see to her needs for
approximately 30hrs a week. You will generally see to her immediate
needs and clean up after her. You will have weekends free and be
entitled to all holidays and we will pay you GBP 400 (British pounds)
PER week and a total amount of 1,600GBP Monthly. You will also be paid
extra for any additional time added to the agreed time.

You will have your own bedroom and your own bathroom either live in or
out fully furnished, with a desk phone and computer system with
internet.

We are looking for someone to muck up and help out generally as any
member of the family would. You will need to babysit a couple of times
a week and also be happy about us popping back to work in the evening
if you are at home anyway. We need someone to be flexible - as we will
be if you would like to take time off if your family visits or you
have a holiday. When we go on holiday as a family you will usually be
welcome but we can also arrange for you to stay home if you prefer.

We will also be shouldering all document and travel expenses.


However we would like to ask a few key questions and we need you to
answer very honestly and positively.


1) What are your aims and objectives in life?

2) What kind of person are you( your likes and dislikes)?

3) How do you intend to impact positively in my daughter's life?

4) Do you possess any physical impairment we ought to know about?

Have you ever been married? Do you have a child/children?

Kindly answer these questions and get back to us as soon as possible.

Please can you tell us your full name and give us your phone number so
we can call when we are less busy and get know you better.

We hope to hear from you soon and our warmest regards to you and your
family. Lucy sends her best and wishes you well in all you do.


God bless.

Best Wishes,
Lake Family

hi, i'm italian and unfortunately i fell in the trap like many other people ...
i just received the contract but, as it was too good to be true i suspected it was a fake and just wrote "anna wright barrister" on google and soon i saw a lot of topic about it.
i put my profile on a web site for au pair and soon i was contacted by this "Lake Family"
this is just one of many e-mail i received.
the first things that makes me think were the strage english grammar(mine is strange too but i'm not english!)
then i saw that they were too much strange about some question and they just sent me one e-mail per day.the money , the beautiful house etc made me think and i was wright!
read it and beware of AARON LAKE : [email protected] :roll:

Thank you for posting the scammer massycla. If you look at the letter written by a 'billy jones' on the page at viewtopic.php?f=42&t=69762 you will see the same email with the same script. Well done on spotting the scam because that lake character is a fraud.
