Works as an Assistant manager of Unilever Company here in London UK. We have a
Lovely Son Val who is aged two and we have been taking care of him
alone until my Friend Introduced us to aupair programme and we decided to
give it a trial .
We areSimply in search of a honest and caring Au pair to help us take good
Care of our Lovely Son each time we are not at home.

We are looking for an Au pair who is willing to stay with us for a
minimum of 2 to 6 Months or more if you so wish. My Friend gave me a Link
to your profile and we have looked at it and i thought it wise to
contact you, to
discuss the possibilities of having you as our Au pair and as well as
our family member in the spirit of cultural exchange. We’re a
laid-back and happy family and my Wife is a caring Woman which
Makes us a lovely and fun loving family.

We live at 5 Sandby Green London, Greater London SE9 6NJ, UK

This effectively means that we mainly hang out in the garden at home
Or sometimes go out on day trips to just about anywhere; beaches,
Country parks, adventure parks, activity farms, seaside towns, forest
Walks… you name it.we also like to celebrate our Summer in our beach
house so if you would stay for the summer then you can have good fun
with us
Val is a very easy going, always happy and as
such you can get along with him easily, he is my lovely Son and i love and
cherish him so much as a father that is why I'm trying my best to make
him feel comfortable in life.

This is our first time of hiring an Au pair so we would like to know
when you can be available . Please e mail us if you would like to
discuss the position with us.

full and your current residential address and past Job experiances if
you have any ) do you have any Reference you can send to us?

I want to make everything move in a normal way without any problem

only child so i wouldn't want anything that will hurt him and i have
promise to be a good dad to him so that he will grow happily, please
all we want from you is to take good care of Val , take him as your
little brother, your friend, play with him and teach him some good

We would send you our family photos for sure but that would be when we
might have been really convinced that you are really willing to Join
us

Val goes to school from 10am to 4pm which means he stays 6 hours in
school so all you need to do is to take him to school when it is 10am
then come back and take care of your own needs and when it is 4pm you
will be required to go and pick him up(but you wouldnt be bothered
with this chores During summer as they would also be on holiday) also
with regards to your English course it last for just 2 hours.

you every Friday for your upkeep, my Wife is a nice and Caring woman
so sometimes she might decide to add a little thing to you depending
how caring you are to her son because she cherish him so much.

I hope our communication and relationship would be a fruitful one.

Thank you, Kistynka, for posting the headers. Unfortunately, in this case, the sender's IP address has been replaced by Yahoo's own IP address, so we can't tell which country the email was really sent from.

We know that it is a scam, though, so that is the most important thing!

You can also see identical scam mails here:

Ola: you may have already seen my reply to you about finding a legitimate host family here:

viewtopic.php?f=42&t=35712&p=91215#p91215

Hello, I got probably another scam, twice a week, it is crazy:

As you have read from our family profile we live in the southern part of Norway. 1 hour's drive south of Oslo West (Capitol of Norway) by car, or 1hour and 15 min. by train, or 15 min from airport Torp. As you may know, Norway is a relatively small country with only 5 million inhabitants, but we have a extremely fantastic nature of summer and winter which at times can be very charming, and it is a country with relatively many and strong traditions. But best of all, norway is a fantastic country where we have a good health care and we can all have a good social network and feel safe. This was a little advertising about our own country, but who are we, the family who want to share us 100 % with an aupair in the next year or two.



I will try to describe a bit more about who we are, our family and our everyday routines.

I am the father, separated from my 25 years younger wife. I have actually 4 children (girls) but 2 of them are 20 and 21 years and have already moved out from home to their own apartments in the same town. Beside my children we also have a beautiful dog, a black flat-coated retriever. My two remaining daughters who live 100 % with me, have aged at 14 and 15 years. My daughters go to regular school in the community.



My youngest daughter at 14 has a great passionate interest in dance and ballet. Outside of school, this is her life, she has training almost 5-6 days a week. Currently this is more important to her than the boys partying and fun. She is good at most of the summer activities and has also been good at skiing downhill. Do not be afraid, I promise you if you want that we, safe and well, will teach you to learn skiing as well. Otherwise she is a bit messy in her clothes and what comes to clean her room, but she is a lovely and fantastic daughter.



My next daughter at 15 has a bit more common interest in youth (party) and fun with friends. In her life, boys and friends what is most important of all. As a father I try to inform how important education is, but this is not so easy to understand. Same problem in all families. She is otherwise a highly reflective young girl who is the starting block to becoming an adult.



Our families daily routines: My two daughter gets up at 7:00 in the morning and then go to school which starts 08-30. I get up a little later but go to work at about 09:00. The children come home at about 15:00 to should then actually read and do homework. At about 17:00 to 18:00, we eat dinner and then relax with our / their own activities or to relax with TV or watch movies /films. Generally, the house goes to bed at about 23:00, but …………



Now we are told little about our family in broad terms.



We will also tell a bit about what we want from you:

1)We want a nice, friendly and very honest young lady between 22 - 27 years.

2)You must be able to speak fairly good English so we can have a good communication.

3)You must be a good looking, representative and a good role model for my young girls.

4)If you can cook meal / dinner, it is of course a great advantage for you and all.

5)You must be able to help with some housework, tidying and cleaning and shopping.



We can offer the right candidate

A)Free, fully equipped - own apartment - at 48 square meter, with a bathroom - living room - kitchen and bedroom, totally included with furniture. Separated from our house.

B)Car for appropriate disposal if needed. Good- fair and square salary, and we will agree on a full-fledged contract, of course according to the law of Norway and gen. international rules for aupairs.

C)Fully personal insurance for you, while you stay in Norway as a aupair, for our family.

D)A nice and friendly open family with lots of humor.

E)Concerning round trip ticket. We will of course pay your ticket from your country to Norway. However, we also pay for the ticket home to your country after end agreed working – period.

F)If you wish to go home before we have agreed, it will be considered as a breach of contract and agreement we make. In such a case, we will possibly pay half of your ticket cost as what and why is the reason of home trip. If such a situation arises we take a communication on that.



Finally, we have then the following question for you :

What are your future ambitions ?

What goals do you have of the job we offer you?

What salary do you have ambitions of or for ?

How and what is your work setting ?



I will inform you that we and I acquire as much knowledge of you as possible, both with letters, stories about yourself your family and your life in your country in general.

Please send us a lot of pictures, that often tell more than 1000 words.




Sincerely and best regards from

Families xxxxxx

Hello Kistynka,

This email from Norway doesn't show any typical signs of a scam at the moment, therefore I will remove the contact details for the host family's privacy. You were correct to include these - they are helpful - but we only leave them in posts when we can confirm that the details belong to a scammer.

If you are interested in an au pair position in Norway, please check this website of the UDI (Norwegian Directorate of Immigration) for the rules and requirements:

http://www.udi.no/Global/UPLOAD/Publika ... air-EN.pdf

Make sure that you always follow these real regulations, and check also with the Norwegian Embassy in your own country.

I notice that the UDI states:

You must live with the host family for the duration of the contract period and have your own room in the host family's home

but this host family states:

We can offer the right candidate ... own apartment .... Separated from our house.

You would need to check with the UDI/Norwegian Embassy whether this excludes the family from partaking in the Norwegian au pair scheme.

There is further information for EEA citizens (in Norwegian only) here:
