up in the afternoon and look after the kid until we get back home from
work. We have a very hardworking cleaner, so there will not be any
heavy housework.There is a bit of light cleaning and laundry so there

bed, with sitting area and TV/DVD/Video/Hi Fi. There is wireless
broadband internet in the house. The Au Pair will have access to a
personal car to run around if he/she knows how to drive. Working
hours:07.30 to 09.00 and 1520 to 1930Plus about 60-90 minutes of
housework a day to fit in with the Au Pair's schedule. 25-30 hours a
week.

Expert AuPair, with the above website, address, and phone numbers is a genuine au pair agency, and one of the official US designated sponsor organizations - but this scammer has NO connection with the genuine agency; he is merely using their details in the hope that it makes his scam more convincing.

The same stolen family photos that Chris Fuller has posted here are also used by by the same scammer (or an associate) caling himself Craigs Beach http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=82259 and also using the email address [email protected].

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
