One problem that people who fall for au pair scams don't appear to realise is that child care jobs in the West are strictly controlled and regulated, and it's not the kind of work even a resident of those countries can perform without qualifications, experience and close scrutiny. Bearing in mind that a family looking for an au pair is probably going to be quite affluent, they will expect their children to receive the best care, and are unlikely to pick up an au pair from an open forum.
The problem is therefore that victims have unrealistic expectations and scammers will always try to exploit victims who are unaware of the requirements to achieve their dream. A person who has properly checked out what qualifications they need and how to go about it is much less likely to fall victim to a scammer.
If all you ever receive is scam offers it's a sign that you're going about getting a job as an au pair in the wrong way.
