The following is a scam related to another on scam warners. The email is legit, the employer name is different but the message below and the images are all the same in the various scams.

Hello My Dear,
First of all i wanna say thanks for your reply, I commend your interest in my family, I contacted 5 people, i have only gotten response from 2 people for now so its either your or the other that will eventually have to get the job. i will pick the best person that i think will fit well into my family.
Like i said you will sure have your separate room to yourself if you want to live with us as a family.. Well my family needs your attention but it all depends when you are ready to come down here we will be happy to see you at the appointed time that best fits you.
I am a very busy woman and all i want is to have someone who can look out for my daughter . I travel a lot and sometimes she is left alone with strangers so i decided that if we had someone who would be always with us as a family in the home when i am gone for a trip the baby can therefore have someone to cater for her. i am so pleased that you have agreed to come and be with my family I assure that we will be like a family together.
Indeed my Husband has well agreed that he would acquire a agency for the procurements of your visa documents needed for your traveling down here he has a Agency that works with an international consulate here in California, with the help of Mr William we would be able to arrange for the documents you would need to get down here, when done all documents would be sent to the USA embassy in your country, so you can just walk in there and get your visa stamped on your passport. All that would be done from here efficiently so you don't need to bother . I am trying to explain this whole well to you now so you don't get it twisted, we are a very decent family and we love our reputation as such we would not want anything to soil this reputation. I will let you know how to contact with Mr William at the right time so he can do all the paper work as soon as he can, well i am sure he wouldn't be needing more than 14 working days to get ll necessary documents ready.
You can stay with my family as much as you want, all I beg for is that you are of good manners. Your duties are to take care of the house, and manage all affairs when i am not around, prepare meals and take care of my daughter when am away from home. my daughter has no and no health problems and she is absolutely okay.
My Husband and i are very good people and we love sincerity and patience in all we do. I want you to Understand that we both will be responsible for the Expenses .. I want you to be honest with us and let us know how much you have out of the processing fee the travel agency will charge you and we will pay the rest as soon as you receive mail from the agency.please understand that we cant pay all the money for your traveling initially but as soon as you arrive in person to the united state, we will be glad to refund all expenses made to you. Its not we cant bear the expenses but we are only taking some cautious and precaution as we have lost some money while trying to help a nanny but she happens to be a fake

You need to know this about my family.

Our family name is Latson, I am felicia, We live in Newport Beach California 20432 Santa Ana Ave #7, Newport Beach Ca 92660. California USA.. I work as a nutritionist in a public health organization in Los angel-es. my husband on the other hand is a Medical Doctor. I am 34 and my Husband is 37 his name is Daniel but we call him Dan. My daughter is a baby Girl, . she likes playing around with toys..Well for now she doesn't like pets in any form so we haven't gotten any pets yet..I like dogs but cant have any yet cos Daniel doesn't feel okay with Dogs yet. Please do well to answer all my questions now.
Do have a great day ahead...
Awaiting Your Response.

I´m not him but I know the email address, too.

There email address is: [email protected]
And the email of the "agency" is: [email protected]

They chat with me, too.
(I lost 2155€ by sending to them)
But if you writhe them that you will not send any more payment they don´t block you.
They just still chatting with you, I think to try to get more money from you.

TAKE CARE!!!! You should not lose your money like me :cry:

Hello IchMalIch and welcome to ScamWarners.

I am sorry to hear that you lost money to these scammers, but thank you for posting up their details, it will help others avoid being scammed.

The scammers will continue contacting you for as long as they think they can steal more money from you, so the best thing to do is to cut off all contact with them.

They call me everyday, up to 20 times a day. I want to go to next police station. what do you think about that ?

thanks for replying as soon as possible :)

Unfortunately the police will not be able to do much as the scammers are abroad.

It might be worth speaking to your phone provider and tell them that you are receiving nuisance phone calls and see if they can block the phone number.
