Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Sun Feb 27, 2011 5:07 am
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. The travel agency is fake and will not obtain any documents for you.

If you are looking for an au pair position in the UK, please contact the British Embassy in your own country to check UK entry requirements. You can find the genuine British Embassy website by Google searching 'British Embassy' and the name of your country. Note that a genuine British Embassy email address will always end with @fco.gov.uk (and with no words or abbreviations after that).

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family or employer.

Hello ,
How are you?
You are welcome to my home here in the UK, After going through your email I was really happy to find someone who is christian and what i really need is someone who can take care of kids.Truly,I need a foreign Nanny either male or female .I knew that there are a lot of Nannies in UK here but is just that i need a Nanny from outside that is caring,loving,motherly care and well determined that can take good care of my kids for me .Hopefully you will be my kid's Nanny and do according to your words.
I don't play with my kids at all because they are the apples of my eyes,i worked because of them and i can pay so much on them. My advice to you is that you should be involved in Part of the expenses to reach here in United Kingdom and i shall be responsible for refund for every expenses made by you immediately you get here. Why I said so is that i have paid for 2 Nannies in the past months which they did not come to my home but went to somewhere else and that is why I vowed that any Nannies that i will employ,will be involved in part of the expenses,just for me to be sure that you will not do like the past Nannies and yo u are ready to work with my family here in UK because I don't want someone who don't care about kids because i cherish my kids a lot.I will give you assistance in the expenses.


The total cost of securing papers (UK VISA, WORK PERMIT, and UK IDENTIFICATION NUMBER) is 2650 Pounds Sterling. So I will Shoulder 2350 Pounds while you will shoulder 300 Pounds Sterling. Hope you are OK with this. I will be responsible for your air ticket.

The reasons why I wanted you shouldering that amount is:
:Due to the signed agreement I have with the British consulate office due to what the other nannies I shouldered every expenses for did to me by going to another direction...I thought the travel agency had deals with them.
so I charged the matter to the British consulate office here in London but later discovered that the travel agency never had deals with them.
At this point I was made to sign an agreement that any nanny I will employ as a foreigner will be involved in the expenses but will be refunded back his or her money immediately him or her arrives UK here in London.
Hope you are OK with this.
The British consulate office told me they will compensate me by approving visa and papers to any application of nanny in respect of my file to their office .
So you have 100 % assurance of coming over to work for me in London.
Don't worry about the United Kingdom,it's a nice place to stay and which I hope you will enjoy staying here with my family and you will have the access to internet In fact i have a personal PC at home for myself but my kids usually play games on their own PC, i will get you a computer to start using for your own use.All expenses made by you will be refunded immediately you get here.
The travel agency will get visa for you and will be directly responsible for all the documentations, including Visa, Working permit, and the verifications of your identity in collaboration with the Home office. Because of the current terrorism in the United Kingdom, your documents will be properly verified by the home office.
They will apply for visa on your behalf in the UK Home Office here in United Kingdom and when the visa is ready the UK Embassy in your country,will call on you,so that they can endorse the visa on your original passport.Just follow any instructions i give you because that will make things a reality.
The duties I'm looking for are as follows:
1-Supervise breakfast with the children in the morning and get them off to school
(Collect my 2KIDS of ages 8yrs(daughter/Tracy) and 6yrs(son/Mikel) old from school at 3.40pm.)
2-Some Housework/washing/ironing as required on a daily basis
3-Supervise homework, music practice and fun activities or take children to after school activities.
4-Prepare and cook an evening meal for everyone at about 6.30-6.45 Up to two evenings child minding per week.
5-Weekends and Bank holidays would be free that there will not be much duties to carry out.
6-Occasional weekend work would be offered by prior negotiation.
I normally leave for work at 7.00am and get back at around 6.30pm although some flexibility is useful.
I am offering a live in position with full board (we eat well in this house!)
1-Separate Toilet and Bathroom.
2-TV,different type of video machines.
3-Personal computer already Internet on.
