This is another email from this scammer, giving the email address of his fake travel agency.

If you are looking for an au pair position in the USA, please contact the US Embassy in your own country to check the US entry requirements. You can find the genuine US Embassy website here:

http://www.usembassy.gov/

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

Hello,

Thanks for the quick response and am so sorry for the late reply. I want to know if you are ready to work with my family, kindly email me back and I would like to know if you have a valid U.S.A visa and work permit to work here with me in the U.S.A.. If you don't have visa and work permit, I would advise you to email my agency to help you for the U.S.A Visa and Work Permit, here is the link that you will contact them.

E-mail [email protected]

If you contact them let them know you are from me and explain to them all you need for the traveling to U.S.A and I want to tell you that I will help you pay for the half payment that the agent ask you to pay for the visa and work permit here just to tell you how urgent I need you here and to assure you on how serious I am about you coming here to work for my family as an Au Pair/Nanny, the job is already yours.

As for how long you can work for my family, well i think that depend on how long you will like to work here with me but left for me, will be very grateful if you respond better to me.. You have nothing to worry about you will be treated like one of the family and you will have 5 days to work in a week and 2 days as your off day that is Saturdays and Sundays.

Bye for now and I do hope to hear from you after you must have contacted and heard from the agency.You will have the opportunity to do what ever you want to for you own good on weekends.I already discussed about you with my lovely children, they seem to like you despite the fact that they are yet to see you. Can i have your phone number so that i can call you.

Hope to hear from you soonest.

Warm regards from,
Mr.Albert Goodwell.
