Hello Au pair,
I saw your profile on the Easy Au pair- site.
I stay No 28 Derwent Road,London. England, N13 4QA.
We currently have some kids aged 4 & 7 years old, we looking for a Au Pair or Nanny from Any Country that can speak English and is willing to stay with us for a minimum of 6 or 12 month(s).
We are a British family living in London, UK. Am a Medical Doctor in London Bridge Hospital, London.
About Our Family
We are a professional couple, living here in the UK .Our kids are fairly easy going and relaxed,they would enjoy someone with lots of energy and enthusiasm.. Having English as a first language is not required and in fact, we would entertain the nanny speaking to them in
her own mother-tongue..
We only seek a Au pair for basic child care and light housework. If you accept to take a position with us, you would be paid the sum of £1800(One thousand eight hundred pounds sterling) with a weekly pocket money of £200. Hence we are doing anything that would motivate the intending Nanny to put in her best in taking care of our children.
You shall have a private accommodation with furnished sitting room and bedroom and also a private bathroom. A Fixed land phone and an Internet ready computer.Do well to send us your references or resume & also an update picture of yourself, and we would get in touch with them. Should the outcome be positive, we would send you a Contract Letter. We shall discuss travel arrangements in due course of which I would be of generous assistance to you. You can reach me on my personal mobile to indicate your interest. My Number is +447045754032 or [email protected]
We sincerely look forward to hearing from you.

Best Wishes
Dr Christopher Denton

Welcome music21!

Yes, this is a scam, and I'm glad you didn't fall for it - well done! :=)

The language of this email is the English used by West Africans, no genuine native speaker will write like that.

And please note the phone number:
+447045754032
Like all numbers beginning with "+44 70 ......" it is not a real UK number. It belongs to a re-direct service which will pass on your calls to anywhere in the world, in this case to the scammer's cell phone in West Africa.

And the salary is not realistic, it is too much for an Au Pair.

Please come back any time for advice if you receive a suspicious email.

Music. Would you also learn how to check email headers and the IP number therein. There are many links here in site how to do this. It will save you a lot of work and heartache too. I don'y know where you live but refer also to the Border Agency for UK AND ALSO OTHER COUNTRIES TO SEE IF YOU ARE ALLOWED ENTRY FOR THIS TYPE OF WORK You may not be- especially for the UK aupair work
