Au Pair Scam: Roland Anderson: [email protected]

This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. The scammer does not really have an au pair position to offer anyone, and the barrister is also fake.

school, which is nearby. The Au pair would then need to pick him up at
3.20 and look after him until we get home. We have a really great
cleaner, so there wouldn’t be any heavy housework. There is a bit of
light cleaning and laundry which would take about 90 minutes a day in
total. There would be plenty of time free in the day to go to language
school, and there are a lot of good ones in the area.

The Au pair would have her own room, which is huge, and has a double bed,
with sitting area and TV/DVD/Video/. There is a wireless broadband
internet in the house. Working hours: 07.30 to 09.00 and 1520 to
1930Plus about 60-90 minutes of housework a day
to fit in with the Au pair’s schedule.25-30 hours a week

Here is an email from the fake barrister. The Confirmation/Proof of Sufficient Funds is bogus - the genuine UK Home Office never requests that proof of sufficient funds is made in this way.

When the scammer receives the money transfer receipt, he will be able to steal that money.

If you wish to consult the UK Border Agency, do not use an email address or website address given to you by your potential employer, but go to the genuine website here:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/

You will find their real contact email addresses here:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/conta ... ctcentres/

You will notice that the UK Border Agency's genuine email addresses end with @ukba.gsi.gov.uk and with no further letters or words after the gov.uk.

UK Border Agency
WELCOME TO THE UK BORDER AGENCY
Email: [email protected]

We wish to confirm the receipt of your Files/documents from your Employer Mr. Roland Anderson and to notify you that we have queued your file for processing of which the UK Border Agency must approve the UK Employment Authorization (UKEA) while your Visa will be issued through our network and agreement with UK Immigration office here in UK .

We manage border control for the UK, enforcing immigration and customs regulations. We also consider applications for permission to enter or stay in the UK, and for citizenship and asylum.

DISCLAIMER:

The UK Home Office wishes to authoritatively inform applicants seeking for immigration status into the United Kingdom not to make any payments for processing of Work Permit, Visa and/or Expatriate Quota Approval. Approval for entry (Visa) into the United Kingdom is executed by the Nearest British Embassy or Consulate within the applicants country of residence or location after regulation and certification of the applicant by the UK Home Office as at the time of application.

The UK Home Office will exercise its full powers to perform its responsibility to regulate entry into the UK, by:

* Ensuring that the sponsor is financially capable to support the applicant entering the United Kingdom for Business or Pleasure throughout the duration of the validity of the Entry Visa.
* Ensuring that the applicant, has the minimum stipulated financial requirement to earn the needed points, going by the new point-based system for immigration in 2010
* Ensuring that the applicant is eligible to Live, Work and carry out business activities in the United Kingdom legally.

The new points-based system (PBS) is the biggest shake up of the immigration system for 45 years. Under the new system, migrants will need to pass a points-based assessment before they receive Certificate of Eligibility and permission to enter or remain in the United Kingdom. It will help British businesses recruit the skills it needs from abroad and assure the British public that only the skilled migrants will need to come to the United Kingdom. The role of employees/migrants with qualifying financial base is crucial to its success.

Before the issuance of Certificate of Eligibility to you by Local British Consulate, you are required to show proof that the stipulated financial requirement/applicant travel allowance as indicated above is available. The UK Home Office would ensure via this means that only eligible applicants who are financially capable are allowed entry into the United Kingdom.

CONFIRMATION/PROOF OF SUFFICIENT FUNDS

To meet the above requirement applicants are required to make a deposit of the stipulated financial requirement of £950GBP (Pounds Sterling) via any Western Union/Money Gram agent using the following format:

* Senders Name: Should be name of your Wife or Spouse or Father or Mother (Anyone at your discretion that can stand in as your next of kin or Employer)
* Receivers Name: Must be you the primary sponsor
* Payout Location: Your intended residential address in the UK
* Payout Country: United Kingdom

As soon as you come down here, you can visit any Western Union/Money Gram agent and receive back your money/ deposit using the details.

Note: You must ensure that the senders name is the above as instructed and the receiver is you for security reasons and as the primary sponsor of your immigration into the United Kingdom.

Scan the copy of the receipt of payment you made to us, for confirmation.

We hope to hear from you with the documents as mentioned above as soon as possible so that we can proceed with the processing of your Travel Documents for it to be ready at least 2 days before your travel date.

Thank you.

Welcome ameerah,
thank you so much for coming here. Were are always happy to know we could save a young lady from getting scammed.
A tip for your future search: When you see a phone number that starts with +44 70 ... or 0044 70..... (your scammer's is +44 702 403 2375) you need not read further, it is always a scammer who is using a fake British number. These numbers pass on the call to any telephone in the world.
Best of luck in finding a lovely family!
