Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

This is an au pair scam. There is no au pair job, and the only purpose of this scam is to make you pay for non existing work permits, visa, and other travel documents. Don't fall for this scam! This scammer also used the name David Hayden, and can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=11059
