Dear scamwarners readers, we have received more e-mails from several people saying that they have received proposals for au pair jobs from 'host families' . These 'families' claim that they have obtained their contact details from our aupair & host families meeting site. When we checked our database, we could quickly see that we did not have their e-mail addresses and therefor the scammers have got them somewhere else, yet posing as if they got them on our site. Girls, boys - if you want to be an aupair and get such e-mails, please please don't respond to them. If you get these e-mails and don't wish to be an au pair or host an au pair, and it says they got your e-mail from myaupairbook.com, then please ignfore these e-mails too - they are a scam. Samples of messages from people that contacted us:

Hello again!
I´m sending over some of the emails I got and you can take a look at it.
The last one, "Denis Scott" are telling that they found me at your site, thats why I
contact you.

Thank you very much.
