Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
#48667 by Chris Fuller Mon Mar 14, 2011 2:35 pm
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. The travel agency is fake, and will not obtain a visa or other documents for you. The host family is also fake, and does not truly have an au pair position to offer.

If you are looking for an au pair position in the UK, please contact the British Embassy in your own country to check UK entry requirements. You can find the genuine British Embassy website by Google searching 'British Embassy' and the name of your country. Note that a genuine British Embassy email address will always end with @fco.gov.uk (and with no words or abbreviations after that).

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential employer. If you wish to consult the UK Border Agency, do not use an email address or website address given to you by your potential employer, but go to the genuine website here:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/

If you require any guidance with travel arrangements, please contact a travel agency in your own town, which you can visit in person.

Hello,
How are you doing today? i really appreciate your immediate
response to my mail, i am really impressed about the about your data
and i am also compelled to inform you that you are officially welcome
to be a member of our family, i would also like to see some pictures
of you as i am attaching some of my family pictures to this mail,
about your job you only have to tutor and take care of our son through
the basics of life, and i would also like to know if you can do this
job for 2years? and i also suggest you get on with the necessary
preparations in getting down here, because of the law established by
the United Kingdom's Border Agency(UKBA) that every non-British
citizen coming to work in the United Kingdom must process his or her
travel documents here in the United Kingdom because of the United
Kingdom's insurance policy, and all the required documents to life and
work in the United Kingdom, so i suggest you contact Emirates Travels
And Tours([email protected]) they have an office here in the
United Kingdom and their head quarters is in Abu Dhabi UAE, and make
sure you keep me up to speed on the process.

I hope to see you soon.
Obrian Family
