Welcome to Scamwarners.
It's not enough to take money out of your account, but enough to put stolen money in. Before the scammer asks you to send most of it to him by Western Union. Which leaves you not only out of pocket, but possibly in trouble for money laundering. So our advice it to tell your bank that your account has been compromised.

i really want you to know who Mr Syler Harry is.if you haven't gotten a scope of the kinda man i am. I don't know where to start from but I'll just say there's no too much drama in my background. Am from United States, i stayed in Keller VA before i met the lady i fell in love with, her name is Anne and i had to relocate to the UK. It has been nice staying here in UK so far and i have really enjoyed it here with my work and my kid too. My wife died some year ago, she suffered a heart attack which made her loose her strength this particular day she gave up the ghost, it was real pathetic leaving me with a young kid. Ever since then I've never been happy cos Anne was my better half, i can't really do without her, i got so much used to her, even when she got angel in her belly. My kid names is Angel and she's 6 years old girl
I don't really know what to do right much about myself, but i must tell you this, am just a single parent here, simple, gentle, easy going, am God fearing and a honest person. i don't fool people and won't like to be fooled by anyone, on internet here. Am not that kinda man and will never engage in such activity. All i just want on here is a good hearted and a God fearing man or woman, who can put my kid through in life . I want you to deal with me straight here so that everything will work out fine and you'll be getting here in no time.

More so, i will like to see your resume and your passport. Its quite good for me hiring you as my kid nanny and a gardner that will be helping me in taking care of my garding i do hope you will be able to take good care of my kid for me.

Your duties are as follows:

1-Supervise breakfast with my child in the morning and get her off to school (Collect my KID of age 6yrs old from school at 3.40pm.)
2-Supervise homework, music practice and fun activities or take my child to after school activities.
3-Occasional weekend work would be offered by prior negotiation. I normally leave for
work at 7.00am and get back at around 6.30pm although some flexibility is useful.

I am offering a live-in position with full board (we eat well in this house!)

1-Separate Toilet and Bathroom.
2-TV,different types of video machines.
3-Personal computer already Internet on. e.t.c for you and i will make sure everything goes on well with you, with my kid.
4- i am willing to be paying sum of 700pounds per week and monthly shopping allowance

Don't worry about the United Kingdom,it's a nice place to stay and i hope you will enjoy staying here with my family and you will have the access to internet, In fact i have a personal PC at home for myself but my kid usually play games on her own PC, i will get you a computer to start using for your own use.All expenses made by you will be refunded immediately you get here.If you would be using the travel agency i would be recommending my traveling agent to you.
I will tell you about the agency that will be helping you process your papers, you can only mail them through their mail address at ([email protected])

The agency is competent and capable of getting you a working visa here, you know i have used them before and that's the more reason why i want us to use them again, they have been helping in getting a visa for my previous nannies. Please do email them to know the requirement for a working visa down to united kingdom.

I will be helping you shoulder half of your working visa down to London including your plane ticket down to London hope you know the reason of doing this?.....i just want to be sure you are getting to me here in London and as soon as you have gotten here i will refund the processing fees back to you.

Do get back at me and let me know. You most welcome to ask me any question you wanna know, I'll be here to answer it all.
Regards and God Bless,

Mr Syler Harry

Hi zelrosario. Yes it is a scam and please stay well clear of it.
The scammer using the name Syler Harry is also known by two other names. The first is syler harrison and the second being syler darious. I wonder why one person needs three different names?
by Justin Wed Jan 25, 2012 12:50 pm
Hello zelrosario!

As jolly_roger said 100% scam. The phone number +447031888537 he gave you looks like a UK phone number but is actualy a re-direct number. The calls are forwarded to a cell phone anywhere in the world. This is a sign of a scammer.The scammer intends to steal your money by giving you a fake visa.

Stop all communications and the scammer will eventually go away. Sorry you were targeted by the scammer but glad you found the site before loosing any money.

Justin

by Helen Halper Wed Jan 25, 2012 9:18 pm
I'm so glad that you found your way here and didn't lose any money to this scammer, zelrosario!

By the way, your English is fine! :D
