SCAM!!! 1

IS THIS A SCAM?
My Name is Paul Wilson, I have read your profile on Best Job Philippines http://www.best jobs.ph and I am interested in having you as a caregiver for my kids and want you to be part of my family, I live in Central England, United Kingdom. My wife work as a nurse in a private hospital in London and I work as an Engineer for an oil Company. We are out going, God fearing type that always love to treat other people real good the way we would love to be treated as well.

I am looking for someone to get the children ready in the morning, prepare and clear up the family's breakfast, make the beds, and take the children to school, which is about a 1.5km walk away. The Nanny would then need to pick them up at 3.20and look after them until we get home. We will ask the Nanny to babysit 1-2 evenings a week. We have a really great cleaner, so there wouldn't be any heavy housework. There is a bit of light cleaning and laundry which would take about 90 minutes a day in total. There would be plenty of time free in the day to go to language school or part time studies if you want, and there are lots of good ones in the area.

The Nanny would have her own room, which is huge, and has a double bed, with sitting area and TV/DVD/Video/Hi Fi. There is wireless broadband internet in the house. Working hours: 07.30 to 09.00 and 1520 to 1930 Plus about60-90 minutes of housework a day to fit in with the Nanny's schedule.25-30 hours a week Benefit. I would like you to know that i will be paying you a sum of 700 pounds weekly for every weeks and a pocket money of 50 pound per week for the buying of some things for yourself. I would like to put my children in your care. My children are just lovers of computer games, not allergic and free to people especially to strangers. I would like to know if you would be a caregiver of my children, if you are really interested to take good care of my children please get back to me. Hope to read from you soon.

Best Wishes,

Paul Wilson

Hello zeekhundier09. It certainly sounds sus to me. I notice the @consultant.com address being used.
That is a well known address favoured by scammers they use from a free mail provider. If you scroll to the top of this page and conduct a site search for consultant.com, the results are many.

Hi zeekhundier09!
Welcome to Scamwarners!
There is no doubt that this is 100% scam.

700 pounds weekly for every weeks and a pocket money of 50 pound per week

They are offering a small fortune, too bad it's all lies!

It is definitely a scam - in addition to the unrealistic high rate of pay Helen already mentioned, they are now asking you to make an advance payment by Western Union. They claim this is for processing a visa, work permit and "other necessary documents", but this is a dead giveaway of a scam (payment in advance, and Western Union especially).

Thanks for posting this as it may be very useful for others who might be tempted by this scam.
