Welcome to Scamwarners yassinechelon,

It is a scam.

This is from the real UK Border Agency http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/aboutus/scams/ note the address is .gov.uk The scammer is writing you from a free email provider that you and I can get. Please read the link.

People who target applicants for UK work visas. They ask you to pay a deposit as proof that you have enough funds to support you in the UK until you receive your first salary. As part of the official application process, you must give us evidence that you have enough money to support yourself, but we will never ask you to give us money.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

Unfortunately, if you are a citizen of Morocco, you cannot work as an au pair in UK. Any offer you get from someone claiming to be in UK will be a scam.

UK only allows au pairs from certain countries (which don't include Morocco). If you are not a citizen of one of those countries, there is no way to get a visa. Some people may claim they can fake documents for you, or use an alternative approach to get you a visa, but those approaches would be illegal, and if caught (which is very likely) you would not only be deported, but banned from returning for a very long time, possibly permanently.

If you wish to be an au pair in the United States, the only way you can get a visa is to be sponsored by an officially designated agency on this list: http://j1visa.state.gov/participants/ho ... =Au%20Pair
The best way to get a job is to apply with one or more of these agencies, and they will help you to look for a family.

Yes, it is a scam. No legitimate agency would be using a free email address like europe.com

Please read through the link noted above about how the Visas work for the UK

https://www.gov.uk/tier-5-youth-mobility

Only use agencies registered and approved by the UK!

Actually, I see that you are in the Philippines?

The link above has a list of countries who's citizens can Au Pair in the UK. The Philippines is not on that list. Anyone offering you an Au Pair job in the UK is a scammer. These are the only countries that can be Au Pairs in the UK:

Australia
Canada
Japan
Monaco
New Zealand
Hong Kong
Republic of Korea
Taiwan
