also request them to furnish you with details of how you can get

What name does the scammer uses for his family? And what email address? It could be that the scammer is now using a new identity.

This is the same scammer who also pretends to be called Dr Paul Edward, Dr Mark Denton, and Dr Mark Dover. You can read about these scams from here:

Here are more emails from this scammer:

From: [email protected]

Hello Au pair,
It was nice to get to hear from you,i told my family about you and they love it, so I have considered hiring you for your services. However as regards your flight ticket that will be handled by me and also some other relevant documents you might be needing to proceed into the UK,but you have to take care of your work permit fees nothing much I presume.So if you agree with these terms please let me know so that I can have my lawyer issue you your contract/invitation letter and also all the necessary details on how to obtain your traveling papers.
But first let me tell you a little bit about my family,

we are down to earth people not arrogant,we respect our employees opinion very much,our kids are the most adorable things on the face of the earth we love them so much and so will you I hope.We are also easy going people my wife and I.

I leave for work early in the morning 7.30am,my wife is a seamstress so she is a little more around the house than I am,our kids both attend the same school they leave at 8.30am come back by 1.00pm
The family those a lot of outings,we go hiking sometimes my wife and I,also to the beach together the whole family.

Best wishes

Dr Scott Wilson
For the family.

Hello,

I will send your detail to my lawyer, to send you the contract and invitation letter to you.

He will also contact the British immigration office here in London on how you can start the process and obtain your working permit visa so you can come and start working in my family as soon as possible..

My Wife and i have concluded that we will want you here in London, and that can only happen if you already have a London Visa and Work permit and i want you to contact with the British Immigration here in London with their email address ([email protected]) am sure they will let you know the requirements that will be needed in getting you a Visa and Working permit and also they will let you know how to go about that cos they helped our former nanny in getting all her documents easily and fast.

We will like you to tell us more about you, your mobile number and more pictures of you would be fine.

Try make sure you contact the to enable you get your visa to London.


Best wishes
Dr Scott Wilson

As David stated above, the British Immigration is fake and part of the scam.

If you are looking for an au pair position in the UK, please contact the British Embassy in your own country to check the real UK entry requirements. You can find the genuine British Embassy website for your country here:

http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travel-and-liv ... n-embassy/

Note that a genuine British Embassy email address will always end with @fco.gov.uk (and with no words or abbreviations after that).

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family. If you wish to consult the UK Border Agency, do not use an email address or website address given to you by your host family, but go to the genuine website here:

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

Again, please note that genuine UK Border Agency email addresses end with @ukba.gsi.gov.uk - and with no words or abbreviations after that.
