Hello,

My wife and I got to see your ad from the Easyaupair website that you are searching for a suitable family to render your services to and we decided to contact you.

We are a British family of three(3) living here in the UK.
We are looking to hire a decent,mature,responsible,English speaking foreign aupair for our 4yr old son Max.
He is a very adorable kid and very easy to get along with.

I work full time and so does my wife Maureen,so we need help with Max since our present nanny for 3yrs now will be relocating back with her family in Austria by the end of the month.

If you will be willing to render your services, kindly go through my families profile on the Easyaupair website were we have our most recent photos put up as well.

For the family.

Yes, this is a scam. If somebody replies to this email, they are likely to receive an email similar to this in response:

How are you today? I trust you are in good health and your family is well too?

Thanks for the response. I just went through your profile again and also shared your photo with my family and they really liked it. I think you have a good sense of humour and good personality as well so we will consider hiring you for your services on the conditions stated below.

Salary ranges from £800 monthly and a weekly allowance for personal needs of £150pounds sterling. You will be expected to work for approximately 30-35 hours per week, and have the weekends off. But Of course there could be over time payments and allowances if ever you get to work during the weekends and babysit.

And as regards arrangements, my family unlike most host families here will be willing to cater for your all round flight expenses,work visa/permit legal processing fees and Airport pick up. Plus we provide a conducive private live in accommodation in our home and feeding as well for the duration of time spent with us. But am afraid you will have to be responsible for handling the Attorney binding fee for your legal Contract agreement and endorsements which as I am now aware of should be legally certified over at the Home office since you will be working here with us as Domestic worker/Au pair.

So if you agree and you are comfortable with these terms my dear do let me know as soon as possible because we have never hired an aupair from outside the UK before, but a family friend of mine at the office who also had her Au pair come in from Australia couple of months back has promised to refer us to a reliable attorney who works directly with the UK Home office that assisted with hers as well.
He should prepare and legally issue out to you a copy of the Contract letter and other necessary legal guidelines for visa procurement and anything else we might need to make this application a total success. But first let me tell you a little bit more about my family and give you a brief insight on our neighbourhood....,

Maureen is a teacher in a local high school not too far from the house,she teaches physical education to a wide range of pupils. I on the other hand work as a Real estate agent,am involved in buying,selling long & short term leasing of properties in and outside the shores of London.
We are down to earth people,easy going not arrogant,we respect our employees opinions very much.
Our son is very adorable and we love him so much and so will you I hope.
I leave for work early in the morning 7.30am,about the same time my wife does, Max leaves at 8.00am comes in by 2.00pm. He gets the school bus from across the road. So you would typically be free from 8.00am each morning until school closes in the afternoon,then you look after him until we arrive home.

In the morning the whole family takes breakfast together and Max loves to eat cereals or oat meals, its his favourite.
He also enjoys playing video games & a little bit of soccer outside the lawn when he wants to get messy but don't worry you should get used to it in no time if you choose to proceed with your application with my family.

And about our neighbourhood...
We have a train and bus station not too far from the house, there is also a language school and park where folks go to spend quality time and relax or walk their dogs.
We don't have a beach close by, but you will require to drive not too far to get to one, we sometimes go there during the weekends to spend quality time together and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

One more thing just in case you agree to the terms ,I want you to know we are a religious family, so we attend services every Wednesdays & Sundays.

And If I may ask you some questions,do you practice your religion as well?

.Please tell me a little about your own childhood and your relationship with
your family?

.What type of things do you like to do in your free time?

.Are you comfortable assisting with homework? Reviewing homework?

.Are you comfortable supervising friends of our son during a play date while you
are in charge?

Kindly let me know what the possible outcome might be in due course so we are prepared, and I will also love to speak to you over the phone so please let me know when will be convenient for you.

My mobile again is (+44)70 457 08 437, please feel free to call anytime
Best wishes

This scammer uses the same redirect telephone number when he is pretending to be called Richard Hopkins. You can see this here:

Could you post the email address for Ivan Norrington which this scammer is currently using? This will be helpful for all other au pairs who have received an email from him, because it will then lead them to this warning when they google the address.

This scamer is still sending out the above introductory email, with one changed sentence:

we need help with Max since our present nanny for 3yrs now will be relocating back with her family in Scotland by the end of the month.

The scammer is not really writing from the UK; his emails were actually sent from Nigeria: IP address 41.206.11.19 - Abuja, Nigeria.
