Hi all.
I have been contacted by an "AuPair host family" a few days ago. The job offer was unbelievably good, so, being very suspicious myself, I went surfing and found here the exact copy (including post address) of the "Barbara Upchurch" message, except that there's a new name now: Linda Wilson
(c.f. http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=3312&p=19860#p19860 )
The messenger was real. When I authorized, I got immediately connected to the person, even though it was 2am or so in UK (quite some time of day for a working single mother to be awake).
Next came a proposition to contact a "travel agency" which would prepare me my visa, it is a one-page website as well, but I haven't found the URL here, so posting too "for all mankind"
The e-mail for this "agency" was [email protected] .
I googled it but failed to find any matches. Hope that this post will fix this.
Unfortunately for Mrs. Wilson (Schneider?) I have traveled a lot and able to tell this from a legitimate company and a verisimilar visa requirement.
Last but not least. I am a religious person, not zealot or anything, but I do believe in God. This person has been using and (as it turned out) manipulating His name so intensively I feel a little offended. Probably, this fact ultimately made me register here and announce the new scammer name to the wider public.
She has used 5 or 6 photos of herself and the Lucas child. Now, I am not sure if I should upload them, because in fact it might be a set of photos of an honest innocent family; but it is used by scammers after all. If dear moderators think it is appropriate, I will do.
Dear AuPairs. Do not lose hope, but please be careful. A good honest and help-needing family is out there somewhere.
PS: sorry for my English which isn't native language
