We are working parents who need assistance with raising our small children. We offer indoor accommodation. We live in New York. We are a very active family who travel extensively and entertain guests often. Light housework may be required if any - as we have a cleaning service weekly. We are most comfortable . We have two kids, 3 yrs and 5 yrs old. They love the arts, singing, dancing and drawing. We try to encourage their creative ideas. we have a large backyard with a play set for their exercise.

If however you accept to take a position with us, you would be Paid $900.00 weekly as Salary. Do well to send us your resume & also an update picture of yourself,and we would get in touch with you as soon as possible. If you are qualified, we shall make travel arrangements for you.

Hi jonabelle,

Yes, this is a scam.

These sentences from their email:

We are working parents who need assistance with raising our small children .... active family who travel extensively and entertain guests often. Light housework ....if any - as we have a cleaning service weekly. We are most comfortable . We have two kids .... They love the arts, singing, dancing and drawing. We try to encourage their creative ideas. we have a large backyard with a play set for their exercise.

If however you accept to take a position with us, you would be Paid .... as Salary. Do well to send us your resume & also an update picture of yourself,and we would get in touch

Are identical to the sentences which the scammer calling himself Eric Lloyd uses:

Please note also that there are strict entry requirements for au pairs to the USA. If you wish to take an au pair position in the USA, you firstly need to contact the US Embassy in your own country to check these requirements. You can find the genuine US Embassy website here:

http://www.usembassy.gov/

And for further information:

American Visa Bureau

US Citizenship and Immigration Services - Exchange Visitors

Please remember that no travel agency or host family can arrange a visa for you - you need to do it yourself via the US Embassy.
