It's a scam. Filipinos are not eligible to work in the UK as au pairs, so anyone claiming to be employing you in the UK is a scammer.

It's a scam, there is no job. The scammer just wants to steal the fees from you.

If you are a Costa Rican national then you are not eligible to work in the UK as an au pair, as the visa is only given for specific nationalities.

How is this possible? Can you please tell me how he does?
  by AlanJones
 
He will ask you to send money to pay for a visa. There is no visa, he will just keep the money.

Is there a way to get your money back?
  by AlanJones
 
It is very unlikely that you will be able to get your money back.

Report the crime to your local police and if you paid by Western Union or Moneygram contact them to see if the money has been picked up and if not ask them to block the transfer.

I am Lulu from South Africa and I also received an email from Kyrian Carol offering aupair job in UK and send the same message as Eric's and he also sent me pictures of the family I will be hosting reason being the mother of the house is undergoing dyalisis and he needs help with Hilary(Alma) as soon as possible. Was support to fill the document he sent today and forward it to the immigration email he provided till I saw this. I would have been scammed too
