Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. This scammer uses the same [email protected] email address when he is pretending to be called Nelson Mandela. You can see this here:

Subject: I Need A Nanny For This Summer

Hello Au Pair/Nanny,

I hope my mail meets you in good state of health. I am Mr Wolfert Aaron, 48 years from Canada. I am the CEO of a Multimedia Consultant in Canada. My contact address is #100 Little AVE Barrie, ON, L4N 2Z4. As part of the information you may require, I have a 6 years old son named Brendan and a 3 years old daughter named Paige. Due to the nature of my work and my wife has divorced with me , I hardly have time for my lovely Kids which actually prompted the idea of seeking
an Au Pair/Nanny. After scrolling through your profile on Aupair-options.com, I consider you worthy of the job vacancy in my home as a substitute for my departed wife.

Your duties include taking the kids to school and bringing them back home, play with them, go to Museums, Playground, Cinema Hall, prepare/fix their meals and snacks. You will have your Private Room which would consist Air-Conditional,
Television, 24 hours Internet Access and a Telephone to keep you in touch with your friends, families and probably relatives as often as you may desire, a Bathroom and Toilet. You will have Saturdays and Sundays as your off days, so to
enable you have enough time for yourself otherwise, you will be paid for extra services. As for your salary, I will be willing to pay you $3,500 every 4 weeks and a pocket fee of $500 weekly which I suppose should be enough for your primary needs. Regard to my family pictures, I will forward some upon request.

With all due respect, I will be hoping to hear from you as soon as possible if interested at the said position. Bye for now and may the gentle breeze of all moment blow cool memory into your brain and of course, Amen!

Warmest regards,
Mr Wolfert & Family.

Here is another email from this scammer. The scammer is really living in Nigeria, as proven by his IP address: 82.128.0.35 - Lagos, Nigeria.

The travel agency is also fake, and part of the scam.

From: Wolfert Aaron <[email protected]>

Hello,

I seriously appreciate your rapid reply knowing you are willing and ready to be part of my family, We live in Canada and My contact address is #100 Little AVE Barrie, ON, L4N 2Z4, Canada.. I really need you to come over here to assist me take proper care of my wonderful Angels since I hardly have the time for them just as I previously explained, so I would appreciate you come over here if possible before next weekend, but let me ask a question. Do you have visa and work permit to come and work here in Canada...? If you don't have visa and work permit, I would advise you email my Travel Agency to help you for the Canadian Visa and Work Permit, here is the link through which you can contact them ( [email protected] ). Do not hesitate to let them know you are from me as there could be some consideration in the charges so explain all you need for the traveling to Canada to them and I assure that I will assist you with half of what so ever amount needed for the processing of your Visa and Work Permit just to justify how urgent I need your services here as well as how serious I am about your coming down to work for my family as an Au Pair, so for now, do consider the job yours.

As for how long you can work for my family ?, well I think that completely depends on how long you would like to work here with me but left to me, I do not intend to see you off in the next 2-3 years because I really would need your services. I will be very grateful if you respond better to me. You have nothing to worry about you will be treated like one of the family and you will have 5 days to work in a week and 2 days as your off days that is to be Saturdays and Sundays. You will have the opportunity to do what ever you want to for you own good on weekends but provided they are worth doing.

I already discussed about you with my little Angels, they seem to like you despite the fact that they are yet to neither see nor talk with you. Well hope to hear from you the soonest possible.

Warmest regards from,
Mr Wolfert & Family.

As part of the information you may require, I have 2 wonderful and interesting to be with twins namely Philip (7) and (4) Evans. Due to the nature of my work and my wife has divorced with me, I hardly have time for my lovely Kids which actually prompted the idea of seeking an Au Pair/Nanny.

We really want someone who can interact,engage with the kids.We would really enjoy a light-hearted, fun, and enthusiastic person and we have a really good cleaner, so there wouldn't be any heavy housework.

Part of your duties include taking the kids to school and bringing them back home, play with them, go to Museums, Playground, Cinema Hall, prepare/fix their meals and snacks. You will have your Private Room which would consist Air-Conditional, Television, 24 hours Internet Access and a Telephone to keep you in touch with your friends, families and probably relatives as often as you may desire, a Bathroom and Toilet. You will have Saturdays and Sundays as your off days, so to enable you have enough time for yourself otherwise, you will be paid extra for extra services.

As for your salary, I will be willing to pay you 3,500 pounds every 4 weeks and a pocket fee of 450 pounds weekly which I suppose should be enough for your primary needs. Regard to my family pictures, I will forward some upon request. With all due respect, I will be looking forward to the opportunity of meeting you and having you become a part of my happy family. So Let me know if you are ready to take up this position and how soon you can make it here. Bye for now and may the gentle breeze of all moment blow cool memory into your brain and of course, Amen!

This is another email from the fake agency, pretending that Mr Wolfert is helping with the payment. In reality, the same scammer is sending the emails from the fake Mr Wolfert, and from the fake agency, and no payment has been made.

The scammer sends this email in the hope that it will encourage au pairs to send money. All money sent will be stolen by the scammer.
