Yes it is a scam and will involve fake contacts such as a visa lawyer, a fake courier, and paying money via Western Union in advance.
t is 100% scam. The person writing you is African, not American. There is no job, only a scammer trying to steal your money for a job that doesn't exist.Yes a scam.Thanks for the information which others may find.
Watch out for more scams and they will always at some stage ask for Western Union or a MoneyGram transfer before you actually get anywhere. If so vanish again.[email protected]? is not a company it is a free email address like hotmail etc.They just use it to trap victims. They could easily choose [email protected] or a more appropriate [email protected], except they woudn't use that last one because it would be true and scammers never tell the truth. Gmail is used as it hides the IP number which tells you where the scamme really is.

Beware of emailed job offers for childcare and other similar positions in the UK. These are all frauds.If the person knows that you live outside Europe, then he is a scammer. The mail is also not written in a style that would not be expected from someone educated as a UK doctor. He also uses some words and spellings that are not used in the UK.
• Since November 2008, no visas are granted for household workers from outside Europe. Work visas are only granted for highly-skilled positions, most of which require university degrees.
• No legitimate employment agency in the UK requires you to pay them any money. All fees would be paid by the employer.
• No legitimate employment agency in the UK uses a free email address from Yahoo, Gmail, or similar services.
• No legitimate employment agency in the UK uses a telephone number that begins with +4470 (070). These are non-geographic numbers available to anyone in the world.
• No legitimate business requests payment via Western Union.

I'm Mrs Carmen Jackson, from NY, United States of America. I'm writing you on behalf of the entire family (my husband, our 2 children and I). Here is little about us. With us you find a family where unconditional love, peace and understanding reign. Our family do not like to judge a book by the cover or take gossip to determine who will be around. We always try to stay positive and find the best in anyone or any situation including the worst ones. My profile: I work as a sales manager at a walmart while my husband work as a civil engineer. How old? I'm 35years old of age. Why do we need your service? Due to the nature of my job, am not always around. I'll thereby need your service as a nanny for my kids. We are a social and fun to be with family looking for a enthusiastic aupair who adores children to spend their days enjoying their company. I will appreciate your response to know if you are interested.
Thanks
Carmen
I am grateful for your positive response. Allow me to explain more about your assign duty and also about us.
At first, we reside in 121 South Ave, Staten Island, NY 10303. A nice, quite and calm city. Where we live is just about 25 mins drive from the big city of New York. I am blessed with two lovely kids namely Ashley (she is 9 years old) and James (he his 7 years old)
What you are assign to do or I say your task as a nanny are as follows.
You'll be working 5 to 6 hours a day. You are required to prepare the kids for school and take them to and from school. (that is, take them to school and later go and pick them from school in the afternoon). Care for and stimulate the children both mentally & physically, to ensure their intellectual, physical and social development. Look after their physical well being, encouraging proper use of everything - wash and bath them, help them on how to dress and undress. You are required to spend time with the child, running errands, house cleaning and light cooking is a possibility, but not really a requirement. We prefer someone who will reinforce our desire to teach our children responsibilities and do not expect to undertake the children assigned tasks but instead to find ways to encourage them to complete tasks (I mean not to spoil the kids by doing everything for them).
On weekends (Saturdays) you'll take them out to new places such as beach and other recreational places (You are fully free on Sunday).
When we want you to start and how long.
We did not have a specific date or reference to when you can start. You can start anytime. We would like to have you for not less than two months. It will be nice if you want to stay longer, even if you want to stay for more than a year. Your happiness with us during your stay is more important.
What we plan to offer.
We will be giving you $400 per week (I hope that is enough since we will cater for your feeding. I mean you don't need to buy food from outside). You and the kids will be going for shopping once in 5weeks. We have internet facilities in the house for your use, a private room with your own bathroom. A private car for you in taking the children to and from school provided you know how to drive or willing to learn driving. Getting you a driver's license will not be a problem.
Our interest as a family.
Our interests include the zoo, doing yoga, watching soccer, water skiing, snow skiing, a walk in the park, play dates with friends, arts, literature, traveling, shopping, cinema and taking good care of our children. We love adventure, arts, traveling, soccer, literature, laughter and our wonderful children. My kids are very active wanting a partner to bounce and spin with them. I would want you convince me that you are capable of doing this job to my satisfaction. In a nutshell, we agree to be responsible for the purchase of your plane ticket. I will like to know if you have a working permit and a valid working visa that allow you work legally in Usa? I wait to read back from you soon.
Hello dear thanks so much for the message it is nice to read from you once again regarding what you said i think there is no problem regarding the time you we be free am ok with that but i we like to know maybe you have valid working visa to come over here get back to me soon to know if you have this thanks looking forward to hear from you soon
