Note the address given by this scammer "1 little road, kings ton drive, London UK" is fake.

Wages of "450 pounds weekly and a daily pocket money of 50 pounds" a work of fiction.

£100 per week would be considered very favourable for this position.

Anothr scam, I'm afraid.
The "travel agent" has a free email account, which is highly unlikely. His English is poor.
School buses are rare in the UK, and we have vans and lorries, rather than trucks.

Total scam.

There are no "truck drivers" in the UK - they are "lorry drivers", Making mistakes like that will often give an indication that the person doesn't, and never has, lived in the UK.

None of them earn enough to pay the sort of wages he's talking about, not that any aupair is likely to earn that sort of amount of money. It's ridiculous, but as he never intends to pay you any money he can offer anything he likes. It's your money he's after.

People in London don't normally give street addresses like that. The start of the postal code is usually given, as it's more informative, such as NW8. Street names are often duplicated in different areas because it's a big city, so you'd normally get just the partial post code so that you know the area.

In actual fact giving out a specific address like that and telling a stranger that you're out all day is stupid and wouldn't be done. Londoners aren't stupid.

Non-EU citizens should go here to find out about obtaining a visa to work as an au pair in the UK

Whenever payment is requested by Western Union you're dealing with a scammer
