His name is Henry, He is 7 years old. We got one wonderful dog, she is a Chihuahua pup and her name is Jada.

We are looking for someone who likes to do their own thing and doesn't have a problem staying home, I need a very good, honest, caring, understanding and God fearing Au pair Nanny for my kid and my pup. Am in need of a Nanny because our Nanny had to go back to her country last year November becuz her mother was very sick and her attention was needed. She stayed with us for 7 months. I close very later from work and ever since our Nanny left my son have been staying with my mother and my younger sister Tammy always take care of my son because she lives with my mom and she stays about 3 hours drive and Jada will be the only one left at home after i left for work, but i will like my son to be staying with us because my sister is kind of busy because of her part time study in business management, so i will like to know if you are interested in taking care of my son and the pup while i am off to work.

As for your salary, I will be willing to pay you £650 Monthly and a pocket fee of £150 weekly which I suppose should be enough for your primary needs and that does not include you to pay any taxes, after when i see that you work very well i shall increase your salary. My son and jada i believe will be keeping you entertained at home during the days! we do not require babysitting as you see the kid is grown up...hehe just like he always say, which means that you are free to enjoy these as you wish.

Fake site will be reported - Michael

Hello jinan,
This is 100% a scam! The writting style is very typical of a scammer. The "travel company" is fake they are using a free website service.

I'm sorry you got caught up with this scammer but glad you found the site. Please stop all communication with the scammer. Eventually they will give up and go away.

Justin

Unfortunately, this alone tells me that it is a scam.

hello madam, i am ... from philippine.

UK has some pretty strong rules regarding au pairs. One of those rules is that they only allow au pairs from certain countries. Philippines is not one of those countries.

What that means is that if you are from Philippines, and are not already living with a UK family, there is no way you can get a visa to become an au pair or nanny in UK. The law prohibits it. Anyone from UK who offers you a job as an au pair is a scammer, no matter what story they give you.

huhuhu...

but any way thank you all.

what if she said that she is willing to pay all the funds and cost of procceding my documents..
and only the plane ticket should i pay..

It is usual for scammers to pretend to pay some fees; this is to encourage you to believe that they are genuine, kind, and helpful. In reality, they are paying for nothing, because all agencies, immigration officers, lawyers, etc who they pretend to be in contact with are also fake and part of the scam. It is usual for the same scammer to write the emails pretending to come from the host family/employer, and also to write the emails pretending to come from the agency or immigration officer, laywer, flight department, etc.

In reality, if you were eligible to go to the UK as an au pair or a nanny (which, as Dotti says above, is not possible for a citizen of the Philippines), you would apply for your visa yourself at the UK Embassy or Consulate or Visa Application Centre in your own country. And if you were paying for your flight yourself, you would also arrange this yourself, and pay directly or through a travel agency in your own country, which you visited in person.

Never ever send money to anyone on instruction of a host family, or on instruction of anyone who that host family has introduced you to.

Amy Maday is a scammer, and the travel agency is fake.

You can also check the real regulations about becoming an au pair in the UK here:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... ityscheme/

If you also click on 'Working and conditions' on the left hand side of that webpage, you will be able to confirm that this is the correct visa for au pairs.

And you can check the real regulations about the domestic workers' visa (for nanny and housekeeping jobs) here:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... igibility/

[AlanJones]

Please read Dotti's post above yours.

You cannot legally work as an Au Pair in the UK. There is no point getting in to communication with this scammer they are just looking to steal from you. Even if they did agree to your terms, they would want you to send them the money for the flight and would just steal that.

how can i find the ip adress of this email add, please let me know...
[email protected]

[AlanJones]

To find the IP address you will first need to find the headers of the message. To do that follow the instructions here - http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/19.html.

Once you have the headers go here - http://www.iptrackeronline.com/header.php and paste them into the box provided and press the "Submit header for analysis" button. This will then give you details of where the message was posted from.

this week we got also such an e-mail. it looks like that Lady still searching for victims.
