Did you fill out an application or fill out a resume? I would be concerned if they didnt check any of your references and you are supposed to be watching their children.

Your instincts were absolutely correct. It's a scam.

The writing tells me that once again it is an African scammer.

Thanks Dotti. :)

No, I didn't fill anything out. They just got my dates on aupair-options, I think.
