Hi my name is Daiana and i am applying to be an au pair in the U.S. I have been contacting a family, who lives in San Francisco California. She replies fast to my e-mails, she told me to contact Ms. Bonnie Simms of Agent Au Pair. Is this a legal agency?? is this not a scam?? I'm looking forward for fast replies. Thank you and God Bless.

Hi!

This is a scam! Be aware!

There is a real "Agent Aupair", but there is also an scam. The scam is [email protected], they would say that they work for Agent Aupair but this is no true, they are an scam.
Do not send money via Western Union!
Here you can read all the lies they will tell to you: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=80216

They are also using fake accounts in facebook, they put an announce in some grups of "Aupairs in USA". First they act as an old aupair, that she had to leave the family she had been working for, and this family is looking for a new au pair. This girl will put in contact to you with the family, but this family does not exist. This family will say that you have to talk with the agency they work with, "Agent aupair", and they will give to you the scam account: [email protected].

One of the scam accounts in facebook there are using is "Wanger Tiffany"

If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact with me.
