It's a scam.

The English in the first email is better than we see with many of these scammers (though there are still plenty of mistakes) but the English is the second contains may typical African mistakes.

In addition, the approach itself is very typical scam.

First, legitimate families do not send job offers based solely on a profile, as suggested here. A legitimate family would spend time corresponding with you and getting to know with you--and they would likely be in contact with you via phone and/or webcam.

Second, if they had actually read your profile and knew enough to offer a job, they shouldn't have to ask for such basic information as sex and nationality!

Hello..

I have received the same emails from Davis Stuart with the phone number +447035965165

I never knew it could be a scam 'till this evening. . he even sent a contract for me to sign via email. . from the Home Office. .

I'm sorry irina74 this scammer has wasted your time. They will send supposed contract papers for people to sign and return because it makes the scam more real. It will be better to simply ignore any further dialogue with the fraudster.

Complete and utter scam. I received the same message, looked into it and the number didn't match up with the location. Stupid to put it right in the middle of google map's name of New York really, wasn't it?
The English made no sense at all. Total scam. Glad I did my research before sending any personal information.
