The scammer goes on about losing her son and that she really needs a nanny to look after her daughter.
She then passes the victim to a supposed agent who handles visa's to work in the UK.
The company does not exist and is in fact the scammer or an accomplice.
Thanks for the response,i will like us to fasten up the process as we need a nanny asap to take care of my daughter,you will have to contact a traveling agency here in the United Kingdom,they have been the agency taking care of my husband's traveling and they were also the agency that worked out all the necessary documents our past nanny used in traveling down to the United Kingdom from the Phillipines.They will help you out in getting your work permit and your visa.I want you to contact them Asap and let them know that you were been directed by the Cook family.
Contact them on this email now [email protected]
Do get back to me with your conclusion with the agency so we can know the next step to take.
Regards.
Mary Cook

I have also received a response from Eastern travel and they told me all you need to pay to have your visa,work permit and other documents to come to the United Kingdom and work for our family,for now i and my husband will like you to have a visa and work permit valid for 12 months which Eastern travel told me that it will cost £1000 for this documents to be made available for you.We will help you renew your documents when it expires.
I know it's a lot of money but i want to know how much you can come up with now so my husband can help you pay up the balance to Eastern travel,let me know Asap so my husband can let Eastern travel know the next step they need to take in processing your documents.
When replying do include your phone number so i can forward that to my husband,he has requested for your number for further discusion.
