Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
#49219 by Chris Fuller Mon Mar 21, 2011 3:00 am
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. Both the host family and the attorney are fake.

This scammer has previously pretended to be called Molly Mackenzie, and identical photographs are used for his fake 'Thomas Cannon' profile at EasyAuPair to the ones used by the scammer calling himself Eric Lloyd.

How are you doing today and thanks so much for responding in time because i was really happy to find a good au pair like you so I seriously appreciate your rapid reply knowing you are willing and ready to be part of my family. I really need you to come over here to assist me take proper care of my wonderful Angels since I hardly have the time to take care of them.

You have nothing to worry about you will be treated like one of the family and you will have 5 days to work in a week and 2 days as your off days that is to be Saturdays and Sundays. You will have the opportunity to do what ever you want to for you own good on weekends but provided they are worth doing.

However as regards arrangements, my family will be willing to cater for your all round flight/fare expenses, Airport pick up and provide you with a conducive private live in accommodation in our home and feeding as well for the duration of time spent with us.
But am afraid you will have to be responsible for handling the Attorney binding fee for your legal Contract agreement letter which should be legally certified and endorsed over at the UK home office since you will be working here with us as Domestic worker/Au pair.

It might not be obvious, even to an English person, who isn't aware of scams, but the spelling, grammar and social references are all wrong for someone in the UK.

I particularly enjoy the suggestion in the mail that they are fussy about healthy eating and then state they supply sandwiches for the children's lunch. :lol: perhaps that's why they have to catch a bus to go 100 metres to school because they're too fat to walk. :D

.... and scammers always have to tell you this

I am a very hard working,busy, honest and kind.


.... because they know that they are lying thieving vermin.

If you look for an au pair job from the internet all you're likely to receive is offers from scammers. It's much better, and safer, to find an agency in your own country that you can visit and who will lead you through the process and recommend training and qualifications. People who can afford to hire a nanny in the West aren't going to offer a job to an unknown and unqualified stranger.

Non-EU citizens should go here to find out about obtaining a visa to work as an au pair in the UK

Whenever payment is requested by Western Union you're dealing with a scammer
