This is the email....
Is this a scam?

Welcome to Scamwarners,

Yes, it is a scam. The scammer is stealing the identity of a real agency.

The real agency would not use this ( [email protected] ) free email address.

In order to be an Au Pair in the US you have to have a face to face meeting in your country with a representative.

You will have to contact an approved agency (Sponsor) here >> http://j1visa.state.gov/participants/ho ... =Au%20Pair
