P.S. I called the first number and asked for "Cameron" and he said it was him, as soon as I said my name and that I was from the Aupair agency he said hold on and for 5 min all I could hear was a really loud T.V. men yelling and speaking a different language in the background and a dog barking really loud. It sounded extremely sketchy. Please Please don't fall for this guy!

That's a typical au-pair scam, but nobody knows how many scammers there are. It may or may not be one already reported here. Can you post his email address please.

by David Jansen Mon May 09, 2011 8:29 am
Welcome here Dorien 89.

These scammers will get lots of cv's send to them, and they usually only ask for them to look genuine. The scammer will have no interest in them. As you can see in your post, and the previous posts above, some of the paragraphs are thesame, but the scammer changed the whole message. Could you please post the email address that this scammer is using?

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.
by Chris Fuller Tue May 10, 2011 6:12 am
Janson Caspar is indeed the same scammer who was pretending to be Cameron and Laura Jones, and Maxwell and Lisa Johnson.

The telephone number +44 702 4022652 was also used by this scammer when he was pretending to be called Janson Moore. You can see this in the fake contract letter here:

Janson Moore

Janson and Sarah Moore
11 Prima Drive, Wilmslow Cheshire SK9 4EY
England, United Kingdom
Phone:+44 702 402 2652
Fax:44 700 608 6662

You will also notice that the fax number is the same one used when he was pretending to be Maxwell and Lisa Johnson.

So iam really frustrated now that i found out it where a scam, but its good there is a site where you can warn other people against people like this. I got surprised to see that its almost the exact same letter he have been sending to other people here, dont ever get in contact with this person.
by Katharina Tue Jul 12, 2011 4:32 pm
Welcome Bubu,
good to know you didn't send any money.

Don't worry about the information you gave him, he is only after your money and there is nothing he can do with your address only.

Did he use a different email address? Please post it, it will help other victims who do a Google search.
Thank you!
