Garry L Boris - AUPAIR SCAM????

helo ralph, Mr. boris said that he will pay my entry clearance in the UK.....i will just send my passport copy to the imigration attorney........i have stop communicating with him......but i am really doubt please help me......what if i will send to him my passport?then he will process my entry clearance there......what will happen to me after?

Please dont send your passport, he will use it to assume your name and prove his identity to other unsuspecting people to begin scamming them in your name.

He will not be flying you anywhere, he is a scammer and there is no doubt about that.

If you would like to forward all of the emails from him to me I can go through them and try to find some more evidence for you

Lyka,

There is no Mr. Boris. There is no immigration attorney. There is no job.

There is an African man with a cellphone (and probably with a redirect phone number that starts with 44-70 or something similar) sitting at a computer, playing both made-up characters. ANY INFORMATION YOU SEND IS GOING TO A SCAMMER, NOT TO AN ATTORNEY OR A POTENTIAL EMPLOYER. Information you send will be used to help him to steal your money, and to help him to steal others' money.

He is sending you photos he stole off the internet. It's not hard to do. I can go to facebook or thousands of other websites and copy 10 pictures of the same random family in less than 5 minutes. He is telling you he is paying for this or that for you. He may even send you receipts. Again, it takes less than 5 minutes to make a fake receipt.

This man makes his living stealing from others. The more he communicates with you, the more he learns about you and what he needs to do to convince you he is real. It's his job, and he knows how to do it.

The only thing to do with this is to cut all contact immediately. Don't send him anything. Block his emails, or set filters so they go directly to your trash. Block his phone numbers. If you don't, you will wind up jobless and broke. That is the only real "guarantee" in this whole transaction.

thank you for the clarifications.....but i really need more.......here is his email to me...i have received this november 14, 2009.....this is his reply when i ask him that he will be the one to finance my entry clearance

Thanks and God bless you.
Mr Boris

Looking at the text in the letters themselves:

and your entrance documents has been release to the Immigration Attorney Micheal Ivers

and your entrance documents has been release to the Immigration Attorney Richard Garrido

Note the exact same language (containing errors in grammar that are typical of an African) but two different "attorney" names (and a search online shows no attorneys with either name in UK)! How is it that the writing is exactly the same, word for word? And why do two completely different attorneys have these documents? What is really happening is pretty simple--he is following a script (standard, pre-written letters he sends to many different victims) and just pasting in whatever fake attorney name he is using--either he used the wrong name the first time, or someone complained and had the "attorney" email closed, so he had to change attorney names.

contact him for the courier of your documents to your home country

"home country?" This does not make sense. A father hiring someone to live in his home and care for his children would certainly know what country you are from and would use the name of the country. The real reason it says "home country" is because he is sending this same email to victims in multiple countries, and this language saves him the trouble of trying to remember the individual country each victim is from.

Now lets look at immigration rules:

your entrance documents has been release to the Immigration Attorney Richard Garrido,so you are advise to contact him for the courier of your documents to your home country for you to come over and start your duty.

Here is the form for a UK visa for a domestic worker.
http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/docs/1903073/vaf2

The questions on this application must be answered--they are required to get a UK visa. While there are agencies and firms that will help you with this paperwork for a fee, they are working directly with you to answer the questions and provide the necessary information. The "attorney" who is supposedly getting your visa does not have the information required so how can he be getting the visa for you?

Also note this information taken straight from the UK government's visa information:

All UK visa applicants, save for those benefiting from a limited number of exemptions and exceptions, are required to provide biometric data (10-digit fingerscans and a digital photograph) as part of the application process.

You will have to go to your nearest visa application centre in person to provide your biometrics. In those countries where there is no visa application centre, you will need to go to the British mission.

Your visa application will not be processed until you have provided the necessary biometric information. The finger scans are electronic so staff do not need to use any ink, liquid or chemicals. You will have your digital photograph taken at the same time and the whole procedure should take no more than five minutes to complete.


I personally work for a large international company with a large manufacturing site in UK. The company sends employees to the UK on a daily basis. Even if we are visiting for a day or two, we still have to go to the agency in person to get a visa for this travel. Unless you have a British passport or are a diplomat, There are NO exceptions.

What this means is that the claims this "employer" is making cannot possibly be true. He cannot get your visa for you. This whole story was designed to get you to pay the phony "affadavit" fee. If you do send him the money, he will then come up with another fee--possibly to ship the "documents" (which really don't exist) to your "home country". He will continue to make up fees as long as you pay, and you will always be just one step away from having everything you need to go work in the UK. Once he has gotten all the money from you that he can, "Mr. Boris," your money, and the "job" will disappear. You won't be able to trace Mr. Boris or the attorney in the UK--because they don't really exist. Your money will be in Africa, where the man behind the emails really is.

Garry Boris is back Fortunately his mail went directly into junk.Thank you.
Never belive easy jobs and never belive a "Garry"

I know this is a scam I found out by this website and saw others posting about this fake family, so I thought I would post this to help other people who may get this email!

Hello sofie, and welcome to ScamWarners. Thank you so much for posting that scam mail and the email addresses - this will be so helpful for other au pairs who have also received this scam.

The scammer will have sent this mail to many people. That is why his own email address appears in the 'To' field. He sent it to himself - but he filled in lots and lots of au pairs' email addresses in the 'BCC' ('blind carbon copy') field. This is a way of secretly sending an email to many people, without them knowing that it has been sent to others too. The names and addresses which it has been sent to won't show.

Sometimes a scammer will leave the 'To' field empty, and BCC all the people he is targeting. Sometimes this displays like this:

To: <undisclosed recipients>

Or sometimes a scammer will put one au pair's email address in the 'To' field, and the rest in the BCC field.

Other scammers, however, are willing to spend more time sending out their introductory scam mails, and will send each one individually addressed. Au pair scammers always target many people at a time, however; sometimes sending out as many as 80 or 100 identical scam mails in one morning.

GARRY BORIS is still alive doing a scam! I got his email yesterday trying to say that he is looking for an au pair for his family. I dont know how did he get my email address but I've beeb in a scam for 5 times. Maybe this is only one person doing this. What do we need to do to catch this scammer and stop them doing this to the people who only want to have a job and nice life? This is his message to me:

Welcome to Scamwarners.

. I dont know how did he get my email address but I've beeb in a scam for 5 times. Maybe this is only one person doing this. What do we need to do to catch this scammer and stop them doing this to the people who only want to have a job and nice life?

The scammer in your other post referred to your saw your profile in newaupair.com so there's likely to be a connection.
Catching scammers is just about impossible especially those in West Africa. He's certainly not in the UK as he thinks Portsmouth is in the east of the country and only has one school.

He tried to scam my 15 year old daughter.

Of course, I taught my daughter that the obvious sign of scam is that the money is required to be sent to an individual and through MONEY GRAM , of course NOT professional at all. A word of advice to all, use an au pair service and google their name and it will appear if is reputable or not.

Dear Jean-Luisa,

How are are you doing, I am so sorry for the late responds, been so much busy to look into my email, I just read your email now and insisted to give you a reply on the same.

According to your emails, you have asked me to place some changes on your name, please tell me when you need me to do it so that I can comply without delay.

It is obvious that there are charges at the Court Registrars office before your name is Sworn an Affidavit of Guarantee at the British Crown Court.

As per the mutual agreement, You expected to Sworn this Affidavit at your own expense. It is stated that I will incur your Domestic visa and flight expenses and deduct 0.05% of it from your monthly salary only. The Affidavit Charge which you are required to pay will be duly reimbursed upon your arrival to united kingdom hence i am in support of such expense.

Note that the attorney can only commence on your Domestic Visa process upon the issuance of the Sworn Affidavit.

regard,

Garry Boris
