Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam.

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

http://j1visa.state.gov/participants/how-to-apply/

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family.

hello
i am happy with the swift email you sent to me and i want you to know that i really need an Au pair As Soon As Possible and i called the immigration last night and they said they can get a express visa for you so i will like you to contact them now so that they can start processing your document
[email protected]

There is a genuine company called Immigration Express, but the genuine company does not use a free rocketmail.com (Yahoo) webmail address. The [email protected] address is not the email address of any genuine company or organisation; it is a fake company, and part of the scam.
