Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
#49328 by Chris Fuller Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:39 am
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. Both the host family and the UK Immigration Solicitors are fake. The au pair position does not exist, and the fake solicitors will not obtain any documents for you.

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 host family or 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 host family, but go to the genuine website here:
