It is a scam.

In order to be an Au Pair in the United States you must have a face to face meeting in your country.

Please read here. viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3019

United States of America

In the USA, all au pairs must go through one of a number of designated sponsor organisations - host families do not directly deal with the arrangement of the au pair's visa/travel etc.

This is the official US Department of State webpage on Au Pair J-1 Visas http://j1visa.state.gov/programs/au-pair.

This page lists the authorised sponsors for the Au Pair program http://j1visa.state.gov/participants/ho ... =Au%20Pair.

If someone claims to be an au pair sponsor and they are not on this list then they are lying.
If they appear on the list, but quote a website that is different to the one on this page - or they use an email address that is not linked to the website listed on this page then they are lying.

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



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

hi and welcome, Alita de pollo. Please look at the complete headers of the email you posted and see if you can get the "FROM" and "REPLY TO" email addresses from it and post them here.

You can post the complete header itself, but please remove all of your personal information from it before posting the entire complete header. Find out how to retrieve the complete headers below my post, if you don't know how.

The writing is that of a West African who has never been in America, and the pay is out of range. It is a scam.

As HillBilly said, please post the headers, omitting your address. Other targets of the scammer may be searching for the scammer's email address.
