This is a scam and both the host family and the immigration officer are fake.
If you are looking for an au pair position in the UK, please contact the British Embassy in your own country to check 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/
