Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Sat Oct 15, 2011 1:56 am
This scammer, who also advertises online for a nanny, housekeeper, and driver, does not have any real positions to offer. His emails are really sent from Nigeria, as proven by the IP addresses, eg 41.155.2.39 - Lagos, Nigeria.

His telephone number, like all telephone numbers beginning +4470, is not a normal UK number; it is a 'redirect' number, redirecting all calls to a mobile phone almost anywhere in the world. In this case, it redirects all calls to the scammer's mobile phone in Nigeria.

Hello 3nards,

Thank you for posting these scam mails. Can you also post the email address which the fake London Travel Ltd are using - this would be helpful for other au pairs who google the email address, because then they can also discover that this fake agency is part of a scam.

Now that you realise that it is a scam, please drop all contact with the fake host family and the fake travel agency - scammers are criminals, and this criminal will have real details about you, and could use this information to harass you if he discovers that you have been playing along with him. If you simply stop writing, however, he will assume that you have either lost interest, or have discovered that it is a scam, and he will soon forget about you.

Please also be aware that a citizen from the Philippines is unable to become an au pair in the UK. At this present time, a a person is only permitted to go to the UK to be an au pair if they are a citizen of the European Economic Area, British Overseas Territories, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or Monaco.

You can read about this here:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... ityscheme/

If you also click on 'Conditions of your stay' on the left hand side of that webpage, you will be able to confirm that this is the correct visa for au pairs.
