Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. Please note that if you are a citizen of one of the few countries who are eligible to go to the UK as an au pair, and you need a visa, you must apply for this yourself, at the UK Embassy, Consulate, or Visa Application Centre in your own country.

You can read about becoming an au pair in the UK here:

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

Thank you Bagira for posting that email address. The scammer calling himself Chris Johnson is currently pretending that he lives in San Diego, USA.

Sometimes scammers change their fake names and locations and send out the same scam mails. And sometimes a different scammer will use a scam mail that he has copied from another scammer.
