Welcome to Scamwarners.
It's a scam. The West african English leaves no doubt about it, and apart from his name, the identical wording is shown here viewtopic.php?f=42&t=20818&p=58889
I don't know where you are but unless you are from the EU, or a citizen of Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or Monaco, you can't work as an au-pair in the UK. Sorry.

Hi James,
to answer your questions:

deposit the money to show to proof of funds because they said i cant allowed to enter in england in without money

There is no such law.

put on the reciever in western union is me but the pay out country is united kingdom

The money could be picked up by the scammer with just the transfer code.

he send me an airplane ticket

The ticket is fake.

Just stop exchanging emails with this criminal. When he realises he can't get your money he will go away and try to scam other victims.

total scam! beware
I was looking for work a job as an au pair and ,I get the following email:

Dear Au pair,
we are looking for someone loving and energetic to look after our lovely 4Years old baby boy Mathew.
Ideally the person would start as soon as possible, although we are prepared to wait for the right person. You will be required to look after him along with my wife during the day (Monday to Friday) whilst I am at work, with additional babysitting once or twice a week in the evenings or at the weekends.

Additionally, we would really like it if you could help out with some light housework like vacuuming, doing laundry, etc. And preference will be given to those who love cooking as well! My wife, Lillian is currently 2 months pregnant with our second child so as much help and assistance around the house would be excellent. The most important thing is that you must love kids, and be happy to help out around the house. We would like you to enjoy spending time with Mathew, and take very good care of him. He is a very happy, friendly, cute boy, who really likes to be taken out of the house to playgroups, swimming in our pool, going to the swings or beach, meeting friends, etc. He will grow to love you very much. Ideally we would like you to become like one of our family. In return we can offer you a very competitive weekly wage of 400GBP for a live-in position (in our 5 bedroom detached villa, London, UK).

You will have your own double bedroom with en-suite, television, DVD player, Wi-Fi internet access and radio. We can also give you access to our car if necessary.
Alternatively, we are happy to offer the right person a live-out position. If this was the case you must be available to work between 7.30am – 5pm Monday to Friday. We are a very flexible, young and easy-going couple, and want you to be happy with us. Travel costs will be covered by us. So do reply as soon as this mail comes to you, with when you will like to start up duties, and resume/pictures.

Today I've received exactly the same message from [email protected]. He has also written that his address is Flat 12, Woolmer House, Upper Clapton Road, London E5 8SU and that he wants to talk via skype (kurt.mark6) as soon as possible. The Skype account exists, it seems that he impersonates someone else.
