This scam sent me this e-mail:

''We are a lively family with a 6 year old boy and we are looking for an Aupair that can take good care of him. My husband is Oprea a pastor and he spend most of his time doing evangelism all over the country. I'm Tina and i have a own business and work nationwide as a surgical nurse. We have 2 dogs. We are a cute, funny family. Our son Dan is 6 years old and in the second Class in the school. He is lively and very keen on sports. He plays football in a club. He is athletic, loves swimming, inline skating, tramp lining, gymnastics, cycle, etc. We like to hear music very much. We live in brent street, in the beautiful London area. We live in a great community with excellent transport links, train in a beautiful hilly landscape. Ideal for sports, running and walking. Brent street is located 2 km from London central, you need 15 minutes with train to London central. In brent street there are language schools also, the nearest grocery store is just 5 minutes walk. If you have a driving license, you may also use the car. Also a bike rental, we can provide to you. We would be pleased if you're fond of animals, because we have two large dogs with which you shall walk but it is not a problem if you don't like animals. We expect a basic knowledge of English language and we will be glad to enrol you in an english class if you have little knowledge of english because you have to help Dan with homework. We offer payment of a language course so you don't have to worry about that.
In the school holidays, I would ask you to have as much fun as possible with the Dan! We have a large 3 bedroom house with big garden and swimming pool. We hope to pay £15 hourly plus bus ticket worth £95 weekly and we will also provide you with a mobile phone with some inclusive minutes each month and the rest would be your responsibility. We would love a friendly, cheerful aupair with a sense of humor and fun! Your duty is basically taking care of Dan and You will be expected to work for 30 hours weekly from Monday to Friday with weekends off so in order hand you will be paid 450 pounds weekly. Before we proceed further we will still like you to answer these few questions. 1) What is your nationality? 2) Have you ever traveled outside your home country before? 3) Have you much experience working with kid’s? 4) Do you smoke? 5) Do you drink? 6) Do you have brothers and sisters? 7) Do you Drive? 8 ) Do you mind doing light cooking? 9) Can you help with shopping? 10) Can you help with housework?
Hope to hear from you soon.''

It´s the same e-mail that another scam,<[email protected]> send, chek out this post: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=30007
It´s the same but with another e-mail, be careful. The photos that they sent me were taken from this profile too: http://www.easyaupair.com/viewprofilefamily/35415/

So [email protected] is a scam. I´m so tired of scams that make honest Au Pairs waste their time, they do not realize that thanks to page like this, we don´t fall for it.

No matter how many times they change their email. I don´t know what to do: respond to them with a rude message, or make them think that I've believed them so they stop changing their email adress to keep cheating people with their scam. :evil:

Welcome to ScamWarners, H.S.C, and thank you for posting this scam.

Au pair scammers contact dozens, or even hundreds, of au pairs at the same time. If they receive any angry or rude replies, they will simply ignore them - it won't bother them at all. But it is not wise to stay in contact with or play along with a scammer who has access to your profile details - scammers are criminals, and can become quite nasty if they think that someone is writing to them just to expose them or to waste their time or any other motive.

Some au pair scammers keep the same email address for a very long time; but most of them will invent a new fake family every six or eight weeks or so, complete with new email addresses. We can't prevent them doing this, but we can publicize - as you have done - their latest fake family and their latest email addresses, so that others can be warned about these too.

Please do continue to post any scam mails which you receive. This will prevent many au pairs from being deceived and having their money stolen by these theives.
