Scammers tell lies in order to try to steal money from people. In reality, citizens of the Philippines are not eligible to go to the UK as an au pair. This can be seen here:

And this confirms that au pairs must apply under the Youth Mobility Scheme:

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