The first email from the fake lawyer, played by the scammer.

ATTN:Applicant

Mr Cliffs has filled in your details for your travel arrangements down here to UK.

We need you to send down your signed contract letter to us so we can begin with the needful.

We would work to serve you better.

And the second:

> ATTN: xxxx
>
> We have noted the content of your Application,Your Employer Mr Albert Cliffs contacted our office,concerning your intended job as Au pair to their Family in London.
>
> How ever please find attached the documents and follow instructions without delays.

> We would work to serve you better

> Home Office , UK Border Agency,
> PO Box 3468 ,
> Sheffield , S3 8WA
> United Kingdom.
> [email protected]

And the attached document reads like this:

The UK Home Office is responsible for securing the UK borders and controlling migration in the United Kingdom. We manage border control for the UK, enforcing immigration and customs regulations. We also consider applications for permission to enter or stay in the UK, citizenship and asylum.

Disclaimer:

The UK Home Office wishes to authoritatively inform applicants seeking for immigration status into the UK not to make any payments for processing of Work Permit, Visa and/or Expatriate Quota Approval. Approval for entry (Visa) into the UK is executed by the Nearest British Embassy or Consulate within the applicants country of residence or location after certification and issuance of Visa Approval to the applicant by the UK Home Office as at the time of application. EU Applicants please apply for National Insurance Number and Work Scheme Card only.

The UK Home Office will exercise its full powers to perform its responsibility to regulate entry into the UK, by:

Ensuring that the sponsor is financially capable to support the applicant entering the UK for Business or Pleasure throughout the duration of the validity of the Entry.
Ensuring that the applicant, has the minimum stipulated financial requirement to earn the needed points for Entry/Work Approval, going by the new point-based system for immigration in 2011
Ensuring that the applicant is eligible to Live, Work and carry out business activities in the UK legally.

The new points-based system (PBS) is the biggest shake up of the immigration system for 45 years.

Under the new system, migrants will need to pass a points-based assessment before they receive National Insurance Number, Work Scheme Card and supporting paperwork for the UK. It will help UK businesses recruit the skills it needs from abroad and assure the British public that only the skilled migrants will need to come to the UK. The role of employees/migrants with qualifying financial base is crucial to its success.

We would like to acknowledge receipt of your application for National Insurance Number and Work Scheme Card. Mr. Albert Cliffs Family is your Host in the UK and shall fulfill necessary hosting requirement to support your application in due course.

National Insurance Number and Work Scheme Card would be issued to you before you can work after appropriate registration with the Social Service Bureau to fulfill 2012 requirements for applicants from EU Countries coming to work in the United Kingdom as Au pair

Apart from sponsorship from UK Based Employers, workers in Social Service Category (i.e Au pair, Babysitter, Nanny) coming to live and work in the UK for at least 12 months are mandated to have a minimum of £745GBP, which is the stipulated financial requirement/basic applicant insurance allowance that must be in possession of the applicant/employee into the UK. You must be able to demonstrate that you have funds to support yourself. This is to certify that you can be responsible for your maintenance as mandated by UK Insurance policies to protect and secure au pairs financially. The mandatory insurance allowance for this is £745GBP. National Insurance process is for the security and well being of the applicant and is mandatory. NOTE: This is not a payment but a deposit to ensure that you can cater for your needs and support yourself once you arrive here before you receive your first salary from your Employer.

The UK Home Office would ensure via this means that only eligible applicants who are financially capable are allowed entry into the UK and must be completed to fulfill availability of funds in cases of Emergency and for full financial security of the applicant/worker before receipt of first month salary and benefits from Employers.

This process is solely for proof that you have the stipulated financial requirement as per an applicant seeking to enter the United Kingdom despite sponsorship from your Employer for your financial security and would take 24hrs for confirmation hence follow the detailed instructions for confirmation of immigrant travel allowance below.

PROCEDURE: VERIFICATION/CONFIRMATION OF MANDATORY BASIC INSURANCE FUNDS

The following process has been adopted following the new-points based system to earn the needed points for issuance of National Insurance Number, Work Scheme Card and supporting documents. Bank statements were hitherto accepted, however due to falsification of bank statements which does not compulsorily certify/surety that the applicant would enter the Country with the mandatory insurance allowance/financial requirement, we no longer accept bank statements as final travel guarantee.

Important (As per Immigration policies, this process must be completed by anyone you wish to stand in as your next of kin; i.e any member of your immediate family must be aware of your intended travel to the UK. This can be either your Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Close Relative or Friend)

To meet the above requirement your Father or Mother or selected next of kin is to make a deposit of the stipulated financial requirement of £745GBP to your name and address in the UK via any Western Union or Money Gram agent as proof that you have secured funds to support yourself when you arrive here till you receive your first salary from your Employer:

Sender can be Father or Mother or any of the suggested individuals above at your discretion that you wish to be aware of your travel to the UK.

Receiver: Must be you the primary immigrant

Payout Location: Your residential address in the United Kingdom i.e (The Cliffs Family, 28 Sydenham, London SW18 2su,,United Kingdom). You can also secure your funds at any alternative residential address here if you have any however if this is your first time to enter the Country on Au pair job, it is appropriate you enter the residential address of your Host Family or Employer.

Payout/Destination Country: United Kingdom

NOTE: You must ensure that the sender is any of the above as instructed and the receiver is you for the security of your funds.

Your Father or Mother or selected next of kin should Visit the nearest Western Union or Money Gram Post Office, Western Union or Money Gram agent or Western Union or Money Gram Shop close to you and make the deposit of £745GBP to your name and address in the United Kingdom which is your insurance allowance following the transfer instructions above carefully for our verification and confirmation.

Application Checklist: You are to send the following application requirements:

Confirm Courier Address for Shipment of Hard Copies of your National Insurance Documents, Work Scheme Card and supporting documents.



Scan the receipt of the deposit of your financial requirement including the Money Transfer Verification Number to enable our office perform Verification of the deposit. This is usually carried out within 24hrs.





Note: Ensure that the receiver is you so that only you can withdraw the deposit after the verification of deposit has been carried out. This is not a payment but a deposit for verification which is why it is in your name as the receiver and to also fulfill that you have funds to support yourself as is the mandatory process for your financial security when you arrive here till you receive your first salary from your Employer.

Confirmation of Basic Insurance Allowance satisfies the requirement for release of Relocation Package (ERP). Relocation Package protects the right of immigrants and ensures full compliance to terms and conditions of contract engagement by UK Employers.

The instructions above would earn you the needed points under the point-based system for the release of your National Insurance Number, Work Scheme Card and supporting documents to legalize your work status here.

Applicants without passport should submit completed application form with formal letter of application including Full Names, Date of Birth and Country of Origin

Please confirm the travel date and airport that is convenient for you to enable us effect booking as has been instructed us by your employer.

UK Home Office,

PO Box 3468, Sheffield,

S3 8WA,

United Kingdom

Note that this scammer is using the "proof of sufficient funds" modality. When the payment is made, and the payment details are send to the scammer, he can pick up the money and so steal it from you. The scammer writing as the family also asks for the payment details.
