My name is Sussane Lucass and my husband's name is Fred Lucass we will
like to inform you that we are British family working and living here
in United Kingdom.

I work as a Secretary in a Multi-Insurance Company while my husband

Simply in search of a honest and caring Au pair to help us take good
Care of our Lovely daughter each time we are not at home.

We are looking for an Au pair who is willing to stay with us for a
minimum of 4,6 Months or more if you so wish. I saw your profile and message at
Aupair-Options.com, and i thought it wise to contact you, to
discuss the possibilities of having you as our Au pair and as well as
our family member in the spirit of cultural exchange. We’re a
laid-back and happy family and my husband is a caring husband which
Makes us a lovely and fun loving family.

This effectively means that we mainly hang out in the garden at home
Or sometimes go out on day trips to just about anywhere; beaches,
Country parks, adventure parks, activity farms, seaside towns, forest
Walks… you name it. Rose is a very easy going, always happy and as
such you can get along with her easily, she is my lovely daughter and
i love and
cherish her so much as a mother that is why I'm trying my best to make
her feel comfortable in life.

This is our first time of hiring an Au pair so we would like to know
when you can be available because i would like an Au pair that can
start as soon as possible. Please e mail us if you would like to
discuss the position with us.e mail [email protected]

Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Best regards.

The lawyer is also fake, and is part of the scam. Scammers invent many false reasons for you to send money to them. You can read about some of these here:

Overview of Au Pair Scams

This scammer often pretends that you need to make a Verification/Confirmation of Mandatory Basic Insurance Funds by transferring money using Western Union or MoneyGram. This is fake and an invention of the scammer.

If money is transferred by Western Union or Money Gram, and the details of the transfer, or a scan of the receipt, is sent to the scammer, the scammer will collect this money and steal it. The scammer is able to do this, regardless of which name the transfer is made to.

Never send any money by Western Union or Money Gram on the instruction of a host family, or on the instruction of anyone who they have introduced to you.

Please note also that genuine representatives of the UK Home Office Border Agency do not use free webmail addresses like @representative.com - you can see the genuine UK Border Agency email addresses here:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/about ... ctcentres/

You will notice notice that the genuine UK Home Office Border Agency email addresses end with @ukba.gsi.gov.uk - and with no words or abbreviations after that.
