Hy everybody!

I think this is big scam:

Dear Au pair,

We are Irish family working and living in the United Kingdom, We have a son that is 1 year and 8 months old and we are looking for a kind hearted Au pair that is willing to stay with us.
We saw your profile and we decided to contact you, to discuss the possibilities of having you as our Au pair in the spirit of cultural exchange. We’re a laid-back and happy family. I live and work here in the United Kingdom with my wife.

Derick is very easy going and as such you can get along with him easily. Your accommodation would be fully furnished and we would be paying you 550GBP weekly throughout the duration of your stay with us.

We shall make available a vehicle for you to use if you can drive and also share travel expenses with you. Our only son means so much to us hence we are offering this salary so that you can put in your best while taking care of him. We would also enroll you in an English school here in United Kingdom to enable you improve your English if you wish, We would like to know when you can be available because we would like an Au pair that can start as soon as possible.

Please e mail me if you would like to discuss the position with us, while you send an introduction about yourself,CV and your current picture. We have attached our family picture for you to see our lovely family .You can send us your number so that we would establish a vocal contact with you and proceed with the preparation of your traveling documents down to the United Kingdom.

Yes, it is a scam! The amount of money they offer is far too high. Could you please post the photo too, but make sure you put a watermark on it, for example "used by scammer" as these scammers always use photos of real families they find on the internet.

Yes, I think also - SCAM !!!
This I`ve received after 1st letter:

"Glad to read from you and we are happy we found an honest aupair to take care of our little angel Derick when we are not around. we are looking for an aupair to be a big sister to our child and to become another member of our family.

Actually this is the first time we are hiring an aupair to take care of our child for us. we decided to contact a reputable lawyer for legal advises and to help us with the procurement of your traveling papers and every documentation you will need to use and work here in the UK legally as an aupair.

We require you to send us your full Resume/CV and current pictures for my perusal with Barr Paul Higgins who works with he UK immigration Agency,if you are found eligible for the job offer. we shall get back to you with a contract letter between us and traveling documentation immediately for you to go through it,sign it and forward it back to us so as to start the preparations of your traveling down to the UK.

We will require you to take care of Derick for about 30hrs a week. You will have weekends free and we will pay you £550 per week pocket money which we will give to you every Friday. we need you to start with us as soon as possible and stay until at least 6 months or more.

Note: We have to do everything rightly so as to proof that you are coming to work and not tour to avoid immigration misconduct.

We hope to read from you ASAP,attached herewith is some of my family photos for your preview.

Best Regard from my wife and little hugs from Derick.

Regards
Mr Winstone Edwards
for the family."
