Au pair scam

Hello everybody! I received 2 letters about employment in London from "Benson" family and "Katie Whitehouse". Now I know for sure that all these letters are fake! But can anyone tell me what will happen if I sent them already my information like a CV and my photos? Will I have any trouble because of that?

P.S.
There is how "Mr. Benson" letter looks like

The vast majority of the time, the scammer won't do anything with those things, except maybe send you some more scam emails. Usually, he only asks for them to make the job seem more real.


Sometimes (this doesn't happen very often, but it happens) a scammer will use your name and/or information in a future scam. This is more likely to happen if you sent the scammer a copy of your passport or ID. While this is not ideal (nobody wants their information being used in a scam, of course), the scammer's IP addresses and other information will give him away, and it is typically quite easy to show that you are not involved in the scam in any way.

he send me 3 pictures too

the new email he is using is

Mr Paul Bill (Ph.d) ([email protected])

And the phone number +447024059599 has been used in many previous scams. For example can be seen viewtopic.php?f=42&t=42067
Then here also viewtopic.php?f=4&t=50976

I'm sorry shirleypcb but you're dealing with a barely literate scammer and I can't understand what this means

I work for 8 hours same as my wife if she spends the night
in the house after her night shift in the hospital and i have my lunch
by 1pm,my coming back most time is 6:30pm.

... and when he asks

Do you have piercing and do you wear tattoo?

... he sounds positively creepy.

This person isn't English and doesn't live in England and as, jolly_roger says, using a telephone number beginning +4470 proves it.
