I get the information below from https://onlyaupair.co.uk
they send me some documents and information ,and ask me $2000 as a deposit,I paid them last week,what should I do ,I think they are scammers,they took my money out without verification code.which is rediculous.both for the moenygram and the scammer.

Attention: Applicant,

Following the “Stop Order” letter sent to us from the ministry of internal affairs as per not granting the approval to your au pair placement for its purposes, we have been ordered to pend every process as employees are expected to undergo due process regarding terrorism issues and economic ills facing the world.

You are expected to read the instructions carefully and comply immediately to enable us complete and ship your travel documents to your country China.

Find attached the soft copies of your certificate of eligibility and work permit.

Kindly do the needful.

Thank you

to me

Hope you are having a wonderful time?


I'm so delighted receiving your message with answers to my questions. I'm also excited that our communication is becoming a fruitful one and I’m seriously interested to host you as my daughter’s Au pair, you sound so polite and honest and i love that.


This is my first experience to host an Au pair as i said earlier i have made some necessary inquiries and i was informed that all the Au pair applicants who intends to work legally in UK are expected to be fully registered with the Only Au pair UK Agency, I will pay all placement fees including your flight ticket to London.

Visit their website onlyaupair.co.uk click on contact and proceed to fill out the questionnaire form on the site, after that also write them an email stating you willingness to work for my family (Ronny Vin Barrett) and write how long you wish to stay with my family okay.

Email: [email protected]

Let me know when you are done filling out the application form at the onlyaupair.co.uk website Emily and Lola sends you kisses and hugs as we look forward to having you here soon. have added you on skype already, you can find me with my email.

It's a scam. The domain onlyaupair.co.uk is fake and was only registered a month ago.

Domain name:
onlyaupair.co.uk

Data validation:
Nominet was not able to match the registrant's name and/or address against a 3rd party source on 19-Jan-2019

Registrar:
GoDaddy.com, LLP. [Tag = GODADDY]
URL: http://uk.godaddy.com

Relevant dates:
Registered on: 19-Jan-2019
Expiry date: 19-Jan-2021


The best thing to do is just block them and don't respond any further. Unfortunately, the money you sent is very likely gone, but you should contact your bank and also report the scam to your local police.

The UK police won't help you as you are not in the UK and the scammers are also most likely not there either. You need to report it to your local police in China.

The point is they can take my money out based on my name and the sender's name without the verification code.
The scammer used their video recorded before to fool me.Finally I realise the truth.shit
