Hello Sudden and lolyberton,
Welcome to ScamWarners; I'm so glad that your research showed you that these were scams.
We have a post about Matt Ston (who also uses the name Matt Stonfield) here:
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=3312&p=35003#p35003
and I know that he uses these email addresses:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
And there is a post about Robinson Deck here:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6795&p=31762#p31762
But I don't think we have any email addresses that he is currently using - could you help with this, and post the ones he used with you?
Any other details which could also help to warn other au pairs about these scams would also be welcome.

I've been sent some more emails that the scammer calling himself 'Robinson Deck' is sending out. He is using these email addresses:
[email protected]
[email protected]
Here are two of the photographs that he is also sending:
You will notice that his phone numbers begin +4470 - these are not normal UK telephone numbers. All telephone numbers that begin +4470 are 'redirect' numbers, redirecting all calls to a mobile phone almost anywhere in the world. This scammer is most likely actually living in West Africa, and the calls are redirected there.
He does not have an au pair position to offer to anyone. It is a scam designed to steal your money, pretending it is for visa or other fees. Do not send money to anyone associated with this scammer - all are fakes.
There is some further information here:

Hello Dafff, and welcome to ScamWarners.
I'm glad that you found out about this scammer before losing any money to him. No need to feel stupid - au pair scammers are very good at tricking people.
I hope you find a genuine au pair position in the near future, to make up for your disappointment over this one. If you should receive any emails from other families that you feel suspicious about, we will be happy to help you find out whether or not they are also scams.
