Hi Ubusuka, welcome to scamwarners.

Thank you very much for posting these mails, they are definately part of a scam. Could you please post the headers of the emails you received? They contain proof I need to get the domain closed down. If you are unsure about what headers are or how to find them, just tell us which provider you use and we'll help you :D

they sent it from this e mail [email protected]
by Michael Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:30 pm
Aha. This is how to find headers in Gmail:

* Open the mail.
* In the top right of the mail, next to "reply" you'll see a small triangle. Click it.
* Click "Show original"
* A new window will open with the headers. Just copy the complete thing and post it here. Do remove your own email adress from the headers though, it may appear a few times. Thanks a lot! :D

Hi Michael! Can I please find out what happened? Thanks !
by Michael Sun Feb 20, 2011 10:04 am
Sure :) I'll explain briefly what is happening here:

You received emails from [email protected] and [email protected]. As you can see, those aren't standard hotmail or gmail names. Those names were purchased by scammers specifically to sound more credible to victims. Obviously, the hosters which host these domain names don't allow illegal behaviour on their servers. If we can prove to them that illegal activity is going on on their servers, they have to take action and take the domain name offline. That way the scammers can't use it anymore.

The mails (and more importantly, the headers!) you posted contain the proof that the domains are indeed being used in scam setups. Right now we are gathering the evidence and preparing a report on the domains to send to the hosters. If all goes right, the domains will be taken offline a few days after our report.

I hope this answers your question? If not, feel free to ask :)

The person you are dealing with is a scammer Ubusuka and what he's telling you does not confirm to US Immigration law as he only wants to steal money from you. He has no job to offer.

Ask him to give you the receipt number that is printed on the approved petition. It's a cost free process an employer has to go through to enable a foreign employee to obtain a visa. You have to know it otherwise you won't even get an interview at your local US Embassy and won't get a visa. If he's not a scammer he'll know what it is. If he gives you a reference, you can check it at your local US Embassy. The scammer does not want you to visit the US Embassy as he wants to lie to you that you must pay him costs and visa fees.

I'm not going in to detail about visa procedures.otherwise this scammer will only incorporate the details in to his scam.

Non-EU citizens should go here to find out about obtaining a visa to work as an au pair in the UK

Whenever payment is requested by Western Union you're dealing with a scammer

I received the same e-mail ... promissing a good salary and everything ...
by GomerPyle Tue Mar 01, 2011 7:38 pm
I'm only repeating this to make it totally clear.

Until you've visited the US Embassy in your own country you don't know whether or not you can get a visa, and to get the appointment you'll require the receipt number from the approved petition he sent to the US Embassy confirming that you have been awarded the work place.

You're dealing with a scammer, but if you want to check him out, ask him for that number and check it at the local Embassy because if they know nothing about it you can't get a visa and don't have a job.

Do this and you won't waste your money but can check for yourself whether or not the person you are dealing with is a liar and thief.

I'm not giving precise detail otherwise the scammer will copy what I say and change his scam, and I am not going to help scammers.

I am not joking when I say that my local council wouldn't hire someone to dig a hole in the road without a face to face to interview. It's therefore beyond belief that a bank would do less, and I used to work for one, and even in my day the checks included a medical test which can't be performed over the internet.
