First of all I want to apologise if my english will be not correct, but it is not my mothertongue.
I was contacted with an email by David and Ruth Erb, and english family, that find my profile to an aupair site.
I don't want to report alla the email we exchanged.
They write me because they want me to become their new aupair to take care their little son Mark (4 years old).
They told me to come in january, they are very friendly and loving, but when I ask them if they have a profile on the aupair site where they find me they don't answer.
Then they told me that will pay me a monthly of 950gbp and other things like an englis course, and extra money if i need it etc.
Ok, at the begin I believe in this situation, and I felt really happy that they contact me.
They write me long email, with all information, expectations.
They told me to live in the central part of London at 1 Lansdowne Close, London SW20 8AS, UK.
I search them on internet, I search them on the social network but I can find nothing about them.
Then they make me a little survey:
Have you had an aupair/ nanny experience before?
Health Insurance is mandatory and I want to know if you have any at all for now?
How healthy are you and how often do you fall sick?
Do you smoke or take alcohol.
Have you organised play dates before? How would you feel about being responsible for our child's friends when they come over to play?
Are you ok with driving our son to activities and playdates?
What are some activities you enjoy doing with older children?
What toys/materials would you like us to provide?
How do you discipline a child
I answerd all the questions, but I also asked some pictures of them, especially a pictures of all of them with a sheet heldhend with my name writetten, it was the only way to prove their sincerity.
They answer me with another long email, and bla bla bla, they sent me their photo, but none of these photos was like I wanted and they did not say anything about it.
So I playing the game, answerd with things like " I can't wait to meet you and help you".
Today they answer me:

The email has attached a document that I have to fill and resend it to them.
In the document, called "Au pair Application Questionnaire" are required personal details, other questions and the signature, but I can see that it is a fake.
In the final part the document says:
I will be able to meet up with the necessary financial requirements in the course of my application.
They think to cheat me
I don't know how to attach at this topic the pictures and the document they sent me, if someone can help me this can help you to defend you from this scammers.
