Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

This scammer is targeting nannies from the Philippines. If you are from the Philippines, please note:

1. You are not eligible for a domestic worker visa to work for a new employer as a caregiver/nanny in the UK. You can read the real regulations about obtaining a domestic worker visa here:

2. You are also not eligible for a visa to be an au pair in the UK. The only countries' citizens who are eligible for this are listed here:

The British Foreign Employment Agency mentioned in this scam mail is fake, and part of the scam. Any money sent to this fake agency will be stolen by the scammer.

Subject: LOOKING FOR LIVE-IN CAREGIVER/NANNY!!!

Hello,

Thanks for your response. My name is Mr. Morris Hank, I and my wife are always busy at work and we are looking for a male or female caregiver/nanny to look after 2 healthy happy sons (Josh) aged 5yrs and (Rodel)3rys. This is a full-time role 5 days per week with some weekend work required. The role would involve getting the kids up and ready for school, cleaning and tidying, ironing, grocery shopping.

I found your profile and phone number on xxxxx.com, while I was searching for a filipino caregiver/nanny, who can take care of my kids at our absent, because I once employed a filipino as a cook when i was in Canada and Her service is really appreciated, so that was what gave me much confident to contact you as filipino, because I have known filipino to be very good in household work.

As flexibility is important this is a live-in position - own room with TV, DVD, Foxtel and unlimited Internet access (if you have a laptop or PC) and all food, utilities etc covered plus use of our car for personal use on weekends / during the week when available.

The proposed salary will be 2,300 GBP per month, while 200 GBP will be given to the her/him every week for the upkeep which will not be included in the basic salary.

Be rest assured that all expenses for your coming will be paid by me, except your Work permit fee which will be your responsility as directed by British Foreign Employment Agency (BFEA).

Regards,
Mr. Morris Hank
