Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by mishchica Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:41 pm
i got this mail, actually i was almost ready to go when after a short research i found the same text was used in scams... the name as well. The man talked about kids (in plural) then said he had one. As explanation he said it was a mistake... When asked if it is a scam and shared a link from this forum he got offended "Is like you are not interest in my job okay maybe you can look for another job, cos i dont understand you anymore"
Here's the first mail i received :

Welcome to Scamwarners mishchica.

There's not much information there to check, but even from the style of English I'd be certain that it's a West African scammer.
