Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Sat Jun 11, 2011 3:59 am
This is not a genuine host family; this is a scam. The travel consultants are also fake, and will not obtain flight tickets or other travel documents for anyone.

You can see near-identical scam mails here:

Gary & Carol Davis
Chris & Pam Hooper

From: Paul & Mitchell <[email protected]>

Good day!

Good to know we have sorted some things out regarding your duties, I'd like to confirm again how long you intend on staying and how soon you can start. We need to sort out things concerning your trip here.

when our last au pair was coming over, we contracted travel consultants who handled and arranged her flight here within a short period of time. Here is their website http://www.usaaupair.webs.com/ and their email is [email protected], send them an email and find out what you will need to get here. They were very efficient and we were all very happy with them. I trust they will do well for you too. We will cover the cost of the actual flight (Plane Tickets), while you will cover the cost of procuring your visa.

I hope your passport is ready because you will need it. I also need you to provide me with your full name, residential address and contact number.

We'd really love to hear back from you so have a wonderful day and don't forget to smile.
Best Wishes,
Paul, Mitchell and Kids

Subject: Au pair Job Available in California, USA

Dear Au pair

We just finished viewing your profile on easyaupair.com and we were very impressed. We have been looking for someone to look after our kids since our last au pair left and we feel you are the right choice. We live in the Sub-Urbs of San Francisco, California. Its a beautiful city you are sure to love it here. The job pays $700 weekly and you will work for 35 hours a week. There is so much more to discuss so if you are interested get back to us and we will gladly work things out.

Have a nice day
Paul and Mitchell Willis

Hello

How are you doing, thanks for getting back to us we're really happy you are interested in this job. I wanted you to know more about the girls and our family so I wrote you a little something. We have two daughters, Alice is 5 years old and Betty is 3 years old. They are all pretty similar Betty always wants to do what her older sister does and Alice wants to be just like mommy.

They both love playing with their toys and playing dress up, they have lots of friends and spend time in the kids playground. We try as much as possible to have some quality time as a family at the weekends because our week days are all filled with work. We go see movies or to the park or museum. Every once a while we take them by their school and we hook up with the other kids and parents and have some fun.

When it comes to food I must say we are quite indifferent, We could anything if it is cooked right and the girls are quite the same. When it come to preference we do like Italian food and French wine. We have a pool so we do spend time there for some R and R, a family close by has barbecues every month and its a special occasion in the neighborhood and you'd be invited to come with us too.

We live in a very good neighborhood in San Francisco, California, lots of families, kids, malls, schools. It really peaceful and a very good place to raise your kids. Some of the other families do have au pairs here I am just not familiar with them but I guess when you come over you can get to know them.

Paul is a pilot for a private airliner and Mitchell is a nurse at the local hospital.

I hope you enjoy my little write up about my family. Please tell us more about you and confirm you are ready for this job
Cheers!
Paul, Mitchell and Kids

It was really nice to hear from you again and we are so happy to have you as our next au pair. We had so much fun with our last au pair and wish everything will work out just as well with you. You seem very interesting and we will sure make your stay with us the best time you can have. I think the processing will take two weeks

Here your job description on a daily basis, how soon do you think you can start and the contract is for at least 6 months to a maximum of one year.

From Monday to Friday

You are expected to begin work by 8:00 am in the morning, get the kids breakfast ready and get them dressed and packed for school. We leave for work about 8:45 and so will you when you go drop the kids off. If you can drive there will be a car for you to use if not there is a bus which passes through and the school is only 10 minutes away.

From this time on you will be required to do some housework (Kids laundry, light cleaning). You will also run any errands for us during this time like grocery shopping etc. The kids laundry will be done by machine wash 3 times a week

Afternoon meals for the kids will be prepared by you. When you get here we will work out a meal schedule for the kids diet.

By 12:00 you should be at the kids school to pick them up and take them back home, they eat lunch by 1:00 am. We expect you will help them with their school work where you can and also engage them in any activities to keep them occupied. They have some friends in the neighborhood and whenever they go to visit you will be with them.

We get off by 5:00 pm so we expect to be home before 6:00 pm when you will close for the day. You will have the weekends off however if we need you we will let you know in time and work out the payment.

Your room is a single room with a private bathroom, it comes equipped with a TV, laptop and we will give you a cell phone when you get here so we can call you at any time we need to.

These is just a day in your life while here with us there is still alot more but we will put that into the contract. I need to know you understand the job well so we look forward to hearing from you soon and we can speak over the phone too.

Best Wishes,
Paul, Mitchell and Kids
