Mod Note: I xxxxed out your email address. ~Bubbles

Yes, it is. The indicators are:
A 4470 phone number.
The IP is from Nigeria, not from Ireland.
More information than you needed.

I quit looking at it after finding those things. It is a scam walk away. Don't email them anymore and block their address.

Here are the photo's the scammer is using. Note that these photo's are stolen from the internet.

The scammer is a brainless idiot as he's using a 44 (0)70 number which he can use to redirect calls to wherever he really is in the world.

44 is the dialling code for the UK. However the scammer doesn't know that Ireland (Eire) isn't part of the UK and the dialling code should be 353, so he's wasting his time pretending to be in Ireland.

Also, if you are not an EEA citizen, basically not in the EC, then you can not get a work permit for a job as a domestic worker or caregiver in Ireland.

Anything this scammer has written about Ireland he must have copied from Wikipedia.

Here is another example of an email sent by this scammer. This email was really sent from Nigeria, as proven by the IP address: 41.86.147.30 - Lagos, Nigeria.

From: Mr James .M Bush <[email protected]>
