I have been contacted by 3 scam families in search of an au-pair.
All of them said they had seen my profile at http://www.easyaupair.com
I am so happy I did some research about them before I went too long.
Thank you for having this website! It really saved me!
I am going to post all e-mails they sent me so that it hopefully will help other au-pairs.

Dear Au pair
We just finished viewing your profile on easyaupair.com and we were
very impressed. We have been looking for someone to look after our
kids since our last au pair left and we feel you are the right choice.
We are a family of 4 with two lovely daughters Amy and Alice, we live
in the Sub-Urbs of San Francisco, California. Its a beautiful city you
are sure to love it here. The job pays very well with reasonable
hours. There is so much more to discuss so if you are interested in
moving to California get back to us and we will gladly work things
out.
Have a nice day!
Mark, Karen and Kids

Hello
We are really glad to hear back from you and even better knowing you
are interested in our offer, first we’d like to tell you about our
family. We have two lovely daughters, Alice and Betty who are 5 and 3
(we have attached photos for you). They love to play together and
little Betty always wants to do what her older sister does and Alice
wants to be just like mommy. They both love their dolls and spend time
with the other kids in the neighbourhood. Karen is an E.R nurse at the
city hospital and I'm a pilot for a helicopter and jet service.
We do a lot of family stuff together when we get the chance, like take
trips or go skiing. There are lots of fun things to do in this City
and we’re sure you’ll like it here. Thanks for all the information you
sent us about yourself and the timing is good we don't mind waiting
for you. Maybe we can have a chat on skype as well though the timing
may be difficult. Also send us your number so we can give you a call.
We hope to hear from you soon with what you think and any questions you have.
Cheers!
Mark, Karen and Kids

Dear xxxxxx
It's really nice to hear from you again, you seem very interesting and
we feel sure we have made the right choice, let’s hope to make your
stay with us the best time you can have. Our last au pair was great
and we had so much fun with her so hopefully everything will work out
just as well with you.
Its a fairly big neighbourhood with a couple of schools close by I'm
sure you could find one which offers English courses. Yes there are
other au pairs, none that we know personally but when our last au pair
was here I know she made a couple friends. Here is a description of
how your day will look like
From Monday to Friday
You will start by 8:00 am in the morning, get the kids breakfast ready
and get them dressed and packed for pre-school. If we are not home you
are free to drive them to with of the cars or you can get a taxi.
While they’re at school you will take care of the kid’s laundry, light
housekeeping, grocery shopping, etc.
We have a meal plan for the kids so what they’ll eat will already be
sorted out and there will always be cooked food available but you need
to heat it up for them. You’ll get the kids back from school by
12:00pm and from then on it’s up to you on how to keep them occupied,
there playgrounds where they can also be with other kids.
One of us should be home by at 6:00pm and that’s when you close for
the day so we expect the kids to be home and cleaned up by then. If we
ever need you to stay over time we will work out a scheme on how to
pay extra for that and you get the weekends off as well.
You will have a room in the house for free, it comes with its own
bathroom, a TV and a laptop. We have wireless connection in the house
so you can communicate with people back home anytime you want. You are
always welcome to join us for meals if you choose.
You should always think of yourself as family because that’s the way we see you.
We will give you more details on how to sort the visa out, we helped
our previous au pair and she got hers done really quickly.
Best Wishes,
Mark, Karen and Kids

And this is where I found out that even this family were scam!
_________________________________________________________________________
I did the research for all families at the same time, copying information in the mail and paste in google.
Very effective! It was very hard to find the last family as scam, but I tried to take diferent information from the mails and finally I could find matching mails on this page!
I hope this will be to use for a lot of au-pairs.
I have learn that you shouldn´t go as an au-pair private (if you don´t have contacts who know the family).
Now I will be going through an agency instead, much safer!
All of them said they had seen my profile at http://www.easyaupair.com
I am so happy I did some research about them before I went too long.
Thank you for having this website! It really saved me!
I am going to post all e-mails they sent me so that it hopefully will help other au-pairs.
