This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is scam. The emails were not sent from the UK, they were sent from Nigeria, as proven by the IP address: 41.206.24.222 - Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
This scammer also used the same redirect telephone number +447024038530 when he was pretending to be called Mark Brandon. You can see this here:
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=15670
All telephone numbers beginning +4470 are not normal UK telephone numbers; they are 'redirect' numbers, redirecting all calls to a mobile phone elsewhere in the world. In this case, these numbers redirect calls to the scammer's own mobile phone in Nigeria.
The travel agency is also fake, and is part of the scam.
