Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Tue Nov 29, 2011 7:59 am
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. If you are looking for an au pair position in the USA, please read these US Government webpages about the US Au Pair Program:

http://exchanges.state.gov/jexchanges/p ... upair.html

http://j1visa.state.gov/participants/how-to-apply/

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family.

Hello and good day,

I am Mrs Martinez From USA.I have long been searching for an
aupair, I found your profile on new aupair website,i like the fact
that you are a foreigner,i have a mixed background so i accept any
race tribe religion,and so i decided to send you this email so as to
make you know that i am interested in you working for me as my
nanny/aupair .My Daughter is just a distraction as i am very busy
woman. this implies that striking the balance between my child care,up
bring and my personal life and job is been very difficult,to this
effect i urgently need the help of a nanny/aupair. My Husband is also
a Busy Person cos he works for the Government, so i need someone like
you to take good care of her..I will pay you $1600 monthly.


Kindly get back to me if you are interested in the Job offer

The travel agency is also fake, and is part of the scam.

From: Becky Martinez <[email protected]>

Hello,

How are you doing? hope everything is well with you? We will like to
inform you that We will be happy if you do the document with our

agency here in USA cause We have been working with them for the past

4 years now and they are good, perfect and working hard and it will
be better if you can contact them.first of all we want you to know
that you can come here and you can stay and work for us as long as you
like. Also I share your view about getting into the united state

legally. I want you to have all the necessary documents you need to
come with before the end of the month or next month with your visa.
Also we can recommend an agency for you in United State,if you might
have problem in getting a reputable and experience traveling agent in

this field, We can recommend the one that handled our last Au pair's
document and visa and the charges are affordable and they are
affiliated to KLM AIRLINE AND AIRFRANCE and approved by the commonwealth body

and the United State Government. I have to inform you that it will
take the travel agency 3 weeks to make the visa and document to be
ready and it will be sent to your contact address which you give them
...You can contact them personally via information as my schedule at

my office is tight .

NAME: Mr. Mike
EMAIL ADDRESS:[email protected]
PHONE NUMBER: 205-339-2944

FAX NUMBER: 08650086

: 415.434.5415

Contact the agency and make enquirers regarding the visa and document
for you to come to the United State and we are going to be the one to
pay your flight ticket and all you need to do is to contact the agency

for your the processing of your visa and document to come to our
family here, when you have contact them they will tell you how much it
will cost you and how you can send the money to them and it will get
to them and they will start working on your document and visa , I

want you to be honest with us and let us know how much you have out of
the processing fee the travel agency will charge you and we will pay
the rest as soon as you receive mail from the agency.please understand

that we cant pay all the money for your traveling initially but as

soon as you arrive in person to the united state, we will be glad to
refund all expenses made to you. Its not we cant bear the expenses but
we are only taking some cautious and precaution as we have lost some
money while trying to help a nanny but she happens to be a fake and

ran away with it.Anyway if this is fine, contact the agency and let me
know if $1600 will be ok per calendar month as your salary and you
will be working for 35-40 hours per week, all other things would be
free. We will appreciate it if you like to take care of our

daughter.We hope to read from you soonest.

Best Regards...
