Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

This is an au pair scam. There is no au pair job, and the only purpose of this scam is to make you pay for non existing work permits, visa, and other travel documents. Don't fall for this scam!

A very similar email can be found here:

The Au Pair Care Travelling Tour agency is fake and part of the scam. There is a genuine Au Pair Care agency, but this is not the genuine agency. Ther real Au Pair Care agency's email addresses end with @aupaircare.com.

If you are looking for an au pair position in the USA, please read these US Government webpages about the US Au Pair Program:
