Hey People!
This forum was very helpful for me so I also want to help other people adding this new scammer:
Robert Keith ([email protected])

this man was very suspicious so i started a little investigation and I found something that maybe is gonna help someone else...

This is the letter he sent me: looks real at the beginning...
Hello Au pair/Nanny
Our names are Robert and Katherine Keith and we work as a Nurse(Mid-Wife) and Therapist in San Francisco(California)U.S.A,We have 3 children named Darren and Megghi and Sarah, who are 9months,2 and 4 years old. They are lovely, happy kids. I would describe them as very sweet and well behaved (at least most of the time!) Both attend day care 3 days per week, though Megghi will soon be starting kindergarten. Sarah and I are both pretty relaxed, though busy, and consider ourselves very family oriented. We live in a neighborhood where others kids and families lives (something like that) and love spending our free time with our family and friends. We have people over at the house often or head to the beach whenever we have time. We are active and health conscious, caring and happy people. We try to teach our kids these things everyday, plus so much more..
We are looking for someone who is happy to be a part of our family. the salary is ($1500Monthly + $170Weekly Allowance)We need someone who is very reliable and who is happy to help us do what is needed to make our household run well. We would expect anywhere from 25 to 30 hours per week of child minding. Typically, this will involve getting the children ready in the morning, dropping them off at daycare/school, picking them up and spending some time with them some evenings. We will also expect help with light cleaning, cooking and errands at times. We will never expect you to do anything that we wouldn't happily do for ourselves if we had the time. In exchange, we are happy to offer a room, board, pocket money and internet access. We also own a piano and guitar you are welcomed to use. We are happy for our au pair to come with us on holidays. We hope to find an au pair who is a great fit with our family and look forward to welcoming her as a big sister/brother to our children.


Waiting to hear from you..

Regards..
