Welcome here myaupairs.

The best thing to do is to stop writing to the scammer. There is no au pair position, so it is pointless to continue. Don't worrie about the scammer having personal information, these scammers get lots of personal details from other au pairs, but they don't use them, they just ignore them. The only thing these scammers are interested in is your money.

Here is another version of the introductory email from the fake Nicky Van Walter.
