Thank you, Tumwi, for posting this scam. Because the photos have been stolen from an innocent family who are not connected to this scam, I've disguised the children's faces to protect their privacy.

Please be aware that the US Government currently allows 14 sponsors only to run Au Pair programs in the USA. You can read about this here:

http://j1visa.state.gov/programs/au-pair/

http://j1visa.state.gov/participants/how-to-apply/

And you will find a list of designated sponsors here:

http://j1visa.state.gov/participants/ho ... =&x=14&y=8

You must go through one of those agencies if you wish to become an au pair in the United States. Please also note that the normal procedure is to first register with an agency; the agency will then 'match' you with a family.

The same person contact me as Marie Raven. I wish a job in US and i didnt want to see that is a scam until when i search her adress on google and i see this site who post the same messages like she send to me. And she send me a message with the name Allen Kuss who had the same lawyer Mac Kings. Now i know thats just a scam thanks to you.

Oh my god. I've been contacted by them just few days ago. I'm from Italy and honestly I believed him ( HE contacted me ). I'm so disgusted. There is no way to denounce it? I can't accept that they will go on doing it to other girls. Please if someone knows how to behave about this situation, contact me.

Hello DomG and welcome to ScamWarners. I'm glad that you discovered that this is a scam.

Scammers use fake names and email accounts set up with false information, and often use anonymous internet cafés as well, so it is usually impossible to find out who they really are. But even if we could discover their true identities, it is extremely unlikely that they will be arrested, because most au pair scammers are really living in Nigeria - and our own country's police are unable to make international arrests, while the Nigerian police normally focus on other crimes instead.

Therefore the best thing we can do is to publicize their scams, and warn others about them - and in this way, do our best to prevent the scammers from stealing from people.
