You will have your Private Room which will have Bathroom, Toilet, Television, Air-Conditional.

I hope to read from you soon.

Before putting their names and adress I'd like to be sure they are scams. Quite sure of it coz they don't even come from the same site but want to be sure. Thank you !!

They sure read as scams, and I'm sure it's no coincidence that the letters are identical. Please post the email adresses and complete mails :)

Hi Elee, another site identifies Jack as a scammer. It was in Italian, so I couldn't understand all of what was said, but their warning has been up since mid January.

The same site also identifies Scott as a scammer.

You are wise to notice that the scripts are the same. Scammers often use scripts from other sources, or the same scammer uses multiple emails to get more mileage for their scam. Your best course of action is to ignore any further contacts from these scammers. They will try to engage you and eventually get you to send them money under one guise or another.

You have done well to post their information here so others can find it.

If you want to see where they are from, you can check the headers for the IP.

Hello

Good to read back from you.Regarding to your questions,i have two very lovely kids chloe and charles of ages 5 and 7 respectively, they are very lovely kids, i lost my wife about three months ago in an auto crash on her way back from work, it's been a very difficult time for us but were trusting in the lord to see us through.We have been living in east-london with my family for about a decade now, it's a lovely place to be, we own a very homely flat with 24hours survellance.We do spend our spare time very constructively, we are a devouted christian family and we a enjoy serving God, we also go out visiting at times but that is really only when i can create spare time from work.I actually work full time as a sales manager in ZARA store in london, you might know it, its mainly a clothing enterprise.

Well all what i need from you is just to come and take care of my lovely kids, make them happy when ever am off to work,i don't want them feel lonely.Am willing to employ you if you really interested and ready to work for my family.I would like to know if you got a valid UK National insurance number,UK Tax clearance and a Medical Clearance if no,i will like you to get in touch with my private agency so that they can help you with the processing, you cancontact them through their contact email address([email protected]) tell them you are from me Mr.Jack Brooke and that you want to come and work as an aupair, they are the one that have been handling the travelling processing of my previous aupair so be rest assured they will not let you down.

I need you for 12 months but it depends on how long you want to come and work for my family.I will send you my family pictures and some pictures of our home as soon as i hear back from you. I will be very grateful if you respond better to me.You have nothing to worry about, you will be treated like one of the family and You will have the opportunity to do what ever you want to for you own good on weekends...
I hope to hear from you soon


Thanks
Mr.Jack Brooke & Family
