Subject: Au pair

Hello am Helen Lashley
Thanks for your interest in our family. We are a family of three

My daughter kookee is full of life, funny, happy and hilarious enough to take the Micky out of anyone. She is very welcoming, warm and friendly. She will end up sending you to sleep by telling you a story while you are sending her to sleep. She is this sort of girl. She loves painting. My husband is away for most of the year and we will have a house for the 3 of us, he comes back once every 4months for 2 weeks. My daughter needs an au pair who will drive her to school and brings her back home.

I am a junior doctor, my husband is away overseas. I have a cheerful and entertaining daughter who is 7 & 1/2 years old, she needs to be taken to her school at 8 am. My daughter finishes school at 3.30 in the afternoon. School will be closed from the last week of July until the beginning of September. From September, she will go to school 5 days a week, Monday to Friday.. The au pair is required to stay with my daughter until I arrive home at around 8pm, then you are free again. Your free time is after 9.00 am until 3pm, then you are free after 8 pm. You will have a car to drive Carmen to school.

My daughter kookee is full of life, funny, happy and hilarious enough to take the Micky out of anyone. She is very welcoming, warm and friendly. She will end up sending you to sleep by telling you a story while you are sending her to sleep. She is this sort of girl. She loves painting and we require someone who iterates with her and play with her. She does not have a brother nor a sister, your role is to be an elder sister to her.

I am on emergency medical call in hospital once a month, so I need to leave my daughter with you. Otherwise you are free during the weekends. Hoovering and dusting of the house are required, you will have your own single room.

NO MEN are allowed in the house and no smoking inside.

If you are a caring person, please feel free to often crack you into laughter. The school teachers are fully entertained by her, the only disadvantage is that she loves talking, so you need to be either deaf or very patient!

She is a positive happy girl with a good heart, the previous two au-pairs can be contacted to ask them for their opinions on my daughter's behaviors and personality.

We live in the countryside of Surrey, a beautiful area in the beautiful forest area gulidford,in south London in united kingdom. You will live in a spacious house in the middle of a beautiful natural setting in a secluded area.

We're looking for a cheerful, energetic girl to help with our 7&1/2 year old girl. We will pay a base £2500 pounds per week for 2-4 hours a day 4 days in the week plus 4 hours on Sat and Sunday morning and occasional babysitting The pocket money pay is £ 30.00 at the end of every day


We will pay for food and offer a lovely, large room with wi fy and cable tv plus own bathroom. This is on the garden level and the entire floor with sitting and dinning room

As an aupair, I would love you to become a member of our family, and feel free to live the house as if it was yours

A car will be at your disposal to give a lift to and from school in Surrey or you can walk if you feel like and you can also use the car for your personal reason as well.

Her negatives: She talks alot!

And please get back to me for more information

I look forward to hearing from you soon,

Kind regards

Helen Lashley

Hello blondie_girl,

Scammers would prefer to steal from you the whole amount of money which they originally request - but if you can't afford to (or don't wish to) send that amount of money, it is usual for the fake host family to pretend to 'help' you with the costs. The scammer would prefer to steal, say, $600 from you, but if you are only willing to send $50, then that is better than nothing to them, and they will accept that instead. And try to trick you into sending another $50 (and another $50) later.

'Helen Lashley' does not really exist; the au pair position does not exist; and the agency is fake and part of the scam.

Please stop all contact with this scammer - it is a criminal that you are writing to, and it is not advisable to correspond with such criminals; they are not nice people.

I found three families, or rather, was found at site Aupair-options. I've unsubscribe from this site because I was naive and at the first attempt i send a copy of my document and information for a fake family. I was very upset by this.
Thank's Scam Warners! And I am sad to know how much fraud network's out there!

Here are some more emails from this scammer:
