Hello Ethannia!

I'm so happy that I googled "SELECT WORLD TRAVEL AGENCY" and this came up. I have been contacted by the same person. He wrote this to me:

Hello XXXXX,

Thanks for your mail, i am so happy to hear from you... I am glad that you are ready and willing to work here for my family. I will like you to come take care of my daughter and take the stress of me. I lost my wife few years ago. My daughter's name is Laura, she is 4 years old. I work as a Pilot... I am looking for a caring and loving Au pair who will take care of my daughter in my absence. I want an Au pair who is caring, loving, understanding, trustworthy, truthful and most of all God fearing. I will like an English spoken Au pair but if the Au pair does not speak English, i will be paying for an English course for you here in London. I will like you to resume here for the job on the 28th of this month. Is that Ok by you?

You will be doing some light house work, plus making food for my daughter and taking her to school. You will be working from Mondays to Fridays, you will have two days off which will be on Saturdays and Sundays (care for my daughter from 7 am - school at 8:00 a.m, Walk her to school and pick her up again at 3:15. care for her from 3:15- approx 6:30 including feeding her).... I will be paying you 600 British Pounds Monthly and 100 pounds every two weeks, i hope it is okay by you...

Note:

* You will be treated as a member of the family. Accordingly you will have your own bedroom within the family home or suitable alternative accommodation.
* You will not be expected to share a room and must be accorded your privacy.
* If you have a valid driver’s license you will be given access to the family car.
* You will have the choice of having all your meals with the family or our children.
* You will be given time to travel both with the family or with friends.
* you will be permitted to have friends over and to go out, as any other family member your age would be.

Please let me know if you are Ok with the rules and regulation. I will like to know how long you will like to work here for me and also if you have a valid Uk Visa? Can i have your cell phone number?

I have attached more pictures for your to see. Please send me a picture of you for me to see. Have a nice day and God bless your home.

Warmest Regards,

Mr XXXX

Sounds like the same person as the person trying to scam you huh? The email address is of course different though. Same writing style.

I haven't replied since learning about your story. Thank you so much for saving so much of my time.

Yours sincerely,

Nannynz

Welcome to Scamwarners, and well done for doing some Internet research. It may or may not be the same scammer, as they do share scripts. Can you post the email address please as you say it's different.

Pretty sure it's the same scam.
