Subject: COME AND WORK FOR OUR FAMILY

Hello Au pair,

I saw your profile on the Au pair site.

We are a British family living in London, UK. I work for Royal Dutch (shell petroleum). A British Based Multinational Oil and Gas Company.
I stay in No 13 Queens Avenue, London .

We currently have son aged 3 years old, we looking for a Au Pair or Nanny from Any Country that can speak English and is willing to stay with us for a minimum of 6 or 12 month(s).

About Our Family

We are a professional couple, living here in the UK .Our kid are fairly easy going and relaxed,they would enjoy someone with lots of energy and enthusiasm.. Having English as a first language is not required and in fact, we would entertain the nanny speaking to them in
her own mother-tongue..

We only seek a Au pair for basic child care and light housework. If you accept to take a position with us, you would be paid the sum of £2500(Two thousand five hundred pounds sterling) with a weekly pocket money of £400. Hence we are doing anything that would motivate the intending Nanny to put in her best in taking care of our children.

You shall have a private accommodation with furnished sitting room and bedroom and also a private bathroom. A Fixed land phone and an Internet ready computer.Do well to send us your references or resume & also an update picture of yourself, and we would get in touch with them. Should the outcome be positive, we would send you a Contract Letter. We shall discuss travel arrangements in due course of which I would be of generous assistance to you. You can reach me on my personal mobile to indicate your interest. My Number is +447012993512 or [email protected]

We sincerely look forward to hearing from you.


Best Wishes

Hello,
I will send your detail to my lawyer, to send you the contract and invitation letter to you.
He will also contact the British immigration office here in London on how you can start the process and obtain your UK visa so you can come and start working in my family .
My Wife and i have concluded that, you will work for our family, and that can only happen if you already have a London Visa and i want you to contact with the British Immigration here in London with their e mail address ([email protected]) am sure they will let you know the requirements that will be needed in getting you a Visa and also they will let you know how to go about that cos they helped our former nanny in getting all her documents easily and fast.
We will like you to tell us more about you, your mobile number and more pictures of you would be fine.

If you have been contacted by the people reported above, or by someone else using the same story you are dealing with scammers.

The UK has strict polices for their Au Pairs and you must go through a registered agency. The agency reported above is fake. This website explains it all:

Thank you very much, the reason why I wanted to know to to get their IP is to avoid further mistakes, or else would it be possible if I can have the links of the registered agency in the Uk or in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.


Thanks
