Unless you have had a face to face (not Skype or IM or email) interview with a representative of the agency then it is a definite scam.

This post viewtopic.php?p=191369#p191369 details the procedure for being an au pair in the USA and links to the official State Department website with a list of the only allowed sponsoring agencies for au pairs.

If the "agency" you have been referred to is not on the State Department list or is using a free email address or different domain to the website on the list then they are scammers. If you are being asked to send the money by Western Union or Moneygram, then it is a scam.

Please post the email addresses that the host family and agency are using, together with the mail from the agency asking you to pay the $500.

His only using facebook
