Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

The family with who I am in contact with sent me some document from the uk home office , in which it says that I have to pays a 650 dollars deposit to my own name to show that I would be able to take care of myself before the first month salary . I don't understand why I should do that since if I'm an au pair my needs should be covered.
He sent me the documents via e mail but I don't know how to post it here but he sent me that with the documents :

Hello (my name),

I wish to explain this process in details for your understanding. As
an European Citizen, you are not required to pay for anything in this
application. The instruction is simple. You are required to visit any
money Gram agent or office close to you and make a deposit using your
name as the receiver.

Simply visit the money gram agent close to you with a friend or
relative. Tell the money gram agent that you want to make a deposit to
UK. They will give you a form to fill. Inside the form, you will see
columns like:

Sender's name: You fill in the name of your friend or relative. (This
is to avoid using the same last names).

Receiver's name: You fill in your name.

Destination country: You fill in United Kingdom.

Amount: 650 GBP.

Scan the receipt of the deposit and send for verification. You are
required to make the deposit with your name as the receiver, to enable
you receive the money as soon as you arrive UK. They simply want to
make sure you can take care of yourself here before you receive your
first month’s salary.

The money you were asked to deposit is for your own well being.. You
are not paying money to anybody. You are simply making a deposit with
your name as the receiver for your own well being and for the Home
office scrutiny. They want to make sure you will have some money with
you when you get here before you start receiving monthly salary.

Keep me posted.

You can't find it on Google because the address doesn't exist - it's a scam. There is no such requirement to be an Au Pair in the UK - you don't pay any money for this! Cease all contact with the scammer.

Au Pairs are strictly regulated through approved agencies, there are no fees paid by the Au Pair and they are strict about what countries are approved for Au Pairs in the UK.
