Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
#186489 by horvivy Mon Jan 06, 2014 12:31 pm
I've got a text message to my phone from the number +36707177171.
I was curious, because of this number. This is a Hungarian telephone number and what I expected is a British number.

The text was the following:
Dear Au Pair, I am Mrs Statham, we found your profile on aupair.com and we are interested. To see my family profile send me email to [email protected]


After this I sent an email to the e-mail address as the following:
Dear Mrs Statham,
Could I ask you to send me a link to your profile on aupair.com?
Thanks a lot.

And after I got this:

Family Description
We are a fun loving British family currently living in New York city but we will be relocating to Southampton, Hampshire soon and we need an aupair/nanny that can take good care of our only child with little or no supervision.
we hope to move to our new home in Lodge Rd, Southampton in 2 weeks as soon as we confirm your commitment to work as the next aupair in my family.
We are looking for someone very friendly who is prepared to be part of our family and look after our child appropriately when we get to Southampton. Your main task will be to care for our adorable Child, Dan who is 5 years old. Occasionally you will do light household work like cleaning and ironing. You will take Dan to and from Kindergarten and also to play dates.
He would be at nursery for 4 mornings per week at least in the beginning but this will be reviewed.
Dan is easy going and only grumpy when tired. At the same time he needs a lot of attention. Although most of the time he is calm but he can be tricky and he always needs someone to say no whenever he's wrong.
Dan will be going to Kindy 4 days a week from 8.45am to 1pm and some days you will need to pick him up or drop his off. We will know my roster about 1-2 weeks in advance so we can plan ahead. The only light housework you will be expected to do is vacuuming dining/lounge/hallway/Dan's room once a week and clean the bathroom once a fortnight and i will do it the other week. You would need to tidy up after making yourself or Dan a snack and if I cook dinner which seems to be most nights then you would do the dishes. I'd be totally happy if you want to share the cooking and obviously I would do the dishes if you cook dinner.
You would be working approximately 40 hours a week from Monday to Friday with weekends off and we hope to pay £12 hourly plus bus ticket worth £67 weekly and we will also provide you with a mobile phone with some inclusive minutes each month and the rest would be your responsibility. We also hope to provide you access to our cars if you have driving experience but not all the time.
We have already secured a home in Lodge Road, Southampton and all other living arrangement are also intact at the moment and we hope to arrive in Southampton at any date from now.
Your duties which we expect you to discharge perfectly are Getting Dan out of bed for a 10 minutes morning exercise by 8am. Getting Dan dressed in the morning. Supervising his breakfast and lunch plus morning and afternoon snacks. Playing with him (age appropriate) to insure at least 60 minutes of exercise (can be split throughout the day). Doing education, crafts& activities with him (age appropriate). Ensuring his optimal health and safety during your care. Keeping his room clean and organized. Doing laundry if necessary. Taking him to and from school and activities. Supervising play dates.
Do inform us in case you have any objections to this duties and suggesting what we can do about it.
I have not scan my pictures but i will try to do that soon and send them to you and i will like to know your exact arrival date.
Before we proceed further we will still like you to answer these few questions.
1) What is your nationality?
2) How old are you?
3) Have you ever traveled outside your home country before?
4) Have you much experience working with kid’s?
5) Do you smoke?
6) Do you drink?
7) Do you have brothers and sisters?
8) Do you Drive
9) Do you mind doing light cooking?
10) Can you help with shopping?
11) Can you help with housework
12) Provide us with your mobile phone number
Hope to hear from you soon..
