We would like to provide you instructions on how you can help bring the scammers to justice.

Thank you.

Hi,

I also have contact with those scammers. The contents of their emails were almost the same. Fortunately I haven't paid them yet, because I got email, which I thought strange and I started to search the Internet very carefully for any information. I noticed this forum and thank you for your being and thanks God, I didn't lose my money. I'm only worried that they have documents with my data (scanned passport, driving licence etc.) I don't know what I should do. I'd really like to find them, whoever they are and wherever they are. I have contacted with Mrs Katrina (the real one) and she asked me to write my information here. Is it possible to do something more to help to catch those awful people?

Main: (646) 493-9617
Email: [email protected]) -> I know now that it's not the real one, and the real one Agency.

Fool me that I have never tried to call at this number...

Payment representative details:
Joshua Williams Montenegro
city: Weslaco, zip code: TX 78596
Texas, USA
Total fee: 1 520$ Money gram Ref. no. ...

Fortunately I haven't paid, it was very strange for me that I have never heard about this name of representative, the state was Texas (ehm? the Agency from Colorado, "family" from Florida? and representative from Texas, strange too) And of course it was very strange for me ->

"Please NOTE we are currently having an Audit of our Domain account so bank transfers can NOT be made to our account at the moment , we apologize for any inconveniences this may cause and we promise this will be resolved soonest.

As we wouldn't want to delay processing of your documents, we partnered with Money Gram Inc. so you will be making payment using the Money Gram service as the means of payment to our Agency representative."

If there is a little problem with Domain, it should be repair in few hours, or maybe days... not longer, so it's not a problem.

another new email:

[email protected]------>Ms Andrea (I saw her already here)
the phone number for the Agency she gave:
+1(972)836-7414 but it is fake!!!

they say they are from Agent Aupair. The real Agent Aupair is in SanFrancisco and the email address is [email protected] Should I contact the real agency to tell them about this?They do not use the names, but they are using the forms and logo and address.

It was the same with me. "Host Family" is in Boston, "Agency" in SanFrancisco, and Western Union in Ohio Cincinnati.

How we can catch these terrible people?

They have all the details(passport, real address, real photos) they can be dagerous for us?

thank you very much!

They are now using Bonnie Sims as a name of someone in the agency. There continue to be new fake "families" created, as well as fake "au pairs". The one thing that seems consistent is that they are mainly targeting through Facebook.

Here are some recent family names:

Newmann

Former au pair:
Larissa Bazoni

The use this fake phone number:

Ask them if you can skype face-to-face with the family. Ask them for the name and address of the representative in your country. These things are required of the program.
