Roxi92, as Flible already said, these scammers only ask for such details to make their scam seem real. They get lots of details from other au pairs too, and they never use these details in any way, they just ignore it. You are safe.

You may just get some more Job offers, but I am sure you know enough now. If you really are registered somewhere and have added your email address openly then remove it. If you are also registered somewhere only the agency would contact you, because they get paid by their client for this. It is a little like a lottery scam message - you have to be in it to win it, ie: buy a ticket for it. If someone writes out of the blue with a job offer then be sure it is fake and add the email address and letter to this site with header.

What they are really after is money. If you have stopped communicating with them. Scammers do not want face to face confrontations as that would bring them out in public. They are typically cowards and hide behind made up information and identities.

They get their money by being on the computer, not by coming to your house. Because you have shown that you are not going to be a victim, they will have moved on to another person they believe they can get money from.

Celebrate that you are not a victim. Find things in your life to celebrate!

I cannot see why roxi? These slippery scumbags are only trying to get their hands into your purse to steal your money. These tricksters are not interested in you in any way, shape or form. You are simply seen as a source of revenue.
By stopping all forms of communication with the sleazy scoundrel, they know you are too difficult to target.

Well, they are. They will be sending more of their fake emails to try and trick others.
You have done a good job roxi in posting the story because people conducting an internet search will also be warned. Your story has saved someone else in future.
One word of caution however, please be aware other scam emails could be sent to you. But one good thing is you know what to look out for.
