Dr Mark Denton - [email protected]

This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. The au pair position does not exist, and the British Immigration office is fake.

Notice that this scammer uses the name Dr Mark Denton in the text of his emails, but the sender's name is Dr Mark Dover. This scammer also sends out scam mails in the name of Dr Mark Dover; you can see some examples of these here:

subject URGENT NEED OF AN AUPAIR

About Our Family
We are a professional couple, living here in the UK .Our kids are fairly easy going and relaxed,they would enjoy someone with lots of energy and enthusiasm.. Having English as a first language is not required and in fact, we would entertain the nanny speaking to them in
her own mother-tongue..
We only seek a Au pair for basic child care and light housework. If you accept to take a position with us, you would be paid the sum of £1800(One thousand eight hundred pounds sterling) with a weekly pocket money of £200. Hence we are doing anything that would motivate the intending Nanny to put in her best in taking care of our children.
You shall have a private accommodation with furnished sitting room and bedroom and also a private bathroom. A Fixed land phone and an Internet ready computer.Do well to send us your references or resume & also an update picture of yourself, and we would get in touch with them.

Vaccination would be carried out at the port of entry into the country and it is advisable to present all documents on procurement, as that would enable the authorities vested with the duty to carry out the vaccinations; administer their duties.

The DER Certifications will have to embrace the registration and approval of your relevant information with the designated local agencies (Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Commerce and industry respectively with DER inclusive).

The reason for the review of this policy as communicated by the DER is to ensure that expatriates with Letter of Contract do not have to travel down to the UK for any other reason other than the primary aim of commencement of work as required.

2) Flight Ticket (will be paid by Dr Mark Denton Your Employer)

in relevant categories - ?500 (has been paid by your employer)

In this regard ,I want to assure you that your permits will be endorsed soonest,I am very positive in this regard,the document is just a protocol that has to be met,after which the permits will be issued to you.

I contacted their office (British Data Inspection Board ) in regard to the procurement of the document and the urgency (TIME) it entails and was told that it will take 24 hrs to prepare it and it will cost £1400pounds,however I did explain this to Dr Mark Denton and I must say he was really worried but due to urgency of the situation,he has opted to share the cost with you,by making avail £1000pounds later today or first thing in the morning so as to avoid any delay,as your documents are set and due for delivery after we get through with this.

Thank you.
I felt unsure of this person and after just a few minutes on Google I stumbled on this site. I almost fell for this scam being so desperate for an au pair job.
Can I inform the police of this man/woman/thing?

Hello elmarien and welcome to ScamWarners. I'm glad that you researched the person who was writing to you.

This scammer is really a Nigerian man, living in Nigeria - the information that he gives in his emails is invented and untrue. Therefore there is very little that the police can do about his crimes and attempted crimes. The best we can hope for is that other au pairs, like yourself, wisely research anyone offering them an au pair position.

If you are not European, it is also a good idea to check whether or not you are eligible to go to the UK as an au pair. There is a list of countries whose citizens are eligible here:

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

If you also click on 'Conditions of your stay' on the left hand side of that webpage, you will be able to confirm that this is the correct visa for au pairs.
