This scammer advertises on au pair websites:

Aupair Needed Urgently in Miami for my grandaughter Kayla

The au pair position does not exist.

Here is an example of an email from the scammer:

From: Carol Dawson <[email protected]>

Thank you for your interest i just hope you will be the perfect aupair for Kayla, I have already notified U.S State Government Office about you, i was asked to provide my bank account statements and bills to prove that i can host you with your scanned passport page for identifications.
Employment visas cost $720 to authorise your visa applications from here and i'll post the authorised documents to you to to get your visa and the US Embassy there. You can also share your views, I decided to pay $520 from the payment and you add with $200. I'll be responsible for flight bookings once your visa is released, Please visit the U.S Immigration website under the {Employment-based applications.} and read it up.

If you are looking for a job in the USA, please contact the US Embassy in your own country to check the US entry and visa requirements. You can find the genuine US Embassy website here:

Do not send money to any host family, agency, embassy, lawyer, or any other person introduced to you by a potential host family.

Here's the first email:
Hello Aupair,
Thank you for applying, I actually need aupair for my 4 year old granddaughter Kayla that lives with me for a duty of waking her up in the mornings and getting her ready for school with little housework included for $500 weekly salaries, Also note that this will be a live-in position because my apartment is big enough to contain us. Attached are some of her recent photos for your views and let me know how soon will you be available and where you come from?
Thank you.
Carol.
