Which courier company? Did they give you a site to a certain company, or did you only receive mails? If so, from what addy? If they have a fake site built, we can try to shut it down

It was a good learning experience for me. Funny enough the courier company seems to be quite legit. It's Royal Mail and the e-mail address of theirs that I was given is [email protected]
I have my doubts now that the e-mail address is even part of the company.

I was also given the address of a travel agent who would process my visas (now I know that travel agents don't do such things from one of the posts I read). THis is the website i was given for that: www.global-travels.net

There is a real royal mail, but the email address you were given is not associated with it. Email addresses ending in deliveryman.com are actually free email addresses from mail.com. Anyone can open one of these addresses in about 2 minutes, and scammers have learned how to take advantage of the professional-sounding domains to support their scams.

Hello Emiliq
I just got the mail and i even have to call him immidiately,because he never told me the nanny will have to pay such big money for his Agency fees as the Attorney,and he explain to me that the money is the agency fees,that nanny we have to pey him for him to send him the work permit visa,and for his own labour,i have already deposited money for the flight ticket and other neccessary things needed,so he said you have to send him that money for him to send you your visa.hope to hear from you.

Anderson For The Family
Hello this is the last e-mail which i just received from this Clem Anderson, after i got an e-mail from his lawyer who says that i have to pay him £575.85 for he work permit visa,and for his own labour.

Welcome to Scamwarners.

he has a new e-mail! Matt Stonfield ([email protected])

A different scammer probably. If you advertise for an au-pair job, you will certainly have more than one scammer contact you.
Both the people who replied to you are scammers.

hello he phoned me and he proposed me to pay these 575 pounds yesterday, i spoke with one of the children ... i'm confused what should i do (i think to go to the England embassy today and to check if his address is real)
thank you

The person wanting to steal your money is a scammer. Discovering if the street address the scammer has given you is real won't be any help to you.

You won't get a job, or a work permit, by paying money to a scammer, probably contacting you from an internet cafe in West Africa.

Clem Anderson is not a British man looking for a nanny. He is a scammer who also runs love scams. You can find his fake dating profile online here:

http://www.datanta.com/user-view_user-276434.html

And following the instructions below will verify that it is the scammer who uses the [email protected] email address.

1. Go to Google. Enter [email protected] in the search box.

2. Underneath Comments about: I want a mature man - Havana 2, click on 'Cached'.

3. Scroll down to near the bottom of the page, where [email protected] is highlighted in yellow. You will see that his profile states 'I want a nice, kool lady with good sense of humor, beautiful - Florida'.

4. Click on that profile title 'I want a nice, kool lady...' This will bring you to his profile. He states that he is a civil engineer, living in Florida, who weighs 93 pounds.

As GomerPyle says, the existence of the postal address will mean nothing. If you are going to contact the British Embassy, then please do it to check the UK entry requirements - you will find that the scammer is not telling you the truth.

You can find the genuine British Embassy website by Google searching 'British Embassy' and the name of your country. Note that a genuine British Embassy email address will always end with @fco.gov.uk (and with no words or abbrieviations after that).

Please do not send money to the scammer or his fake lawyer (whose emails are written either by the same scammer who is pretending to be Clem Anderson, or by one of his scamming associates). He does not have a job for you, and he will not obtain a visa or any other documents for you.
