He sent me some pictures of his family and current nanny. I answered to him that I needed some kind of evidence that let me know he is a real person, and he answered this:
Hello Au pair,
It was nice to get to hear from you,i told my family about you and they love it, so I have considered hiring you for your services. However as regards your flight ticket that will be handled by me and also some other relevant documents you might be needing to proceed into the UK,but you have to take care of your UK visa fees nothing much I presume.So if you agree with these terms please let me know so that I can have my lawyer issue you your contract/invitation letter and also all the necessary details on how to obtain your traveling papers.
But first let me tell you a little bit about my family,

we are down to earth people not arrogant,we respect our employees opinion very much,our kids are the most adorable things on the face of the earth we love them so much and so will you I hope.We are also easy going people my wife and I.

I leave for work early in the morning 7.30am,my wife is a seamstress so she is a little more around the house than I am,our kids both attend the same school they leave at 8.30am come back by 1.00pm
The family those a lot of outings,we go fishing sometimes my wife and I,also to the beach together the whole family.

Best wishes

Hello Ginger Flowers!

Yes both are scams. The first one is already posted on our site here viewtopic.php?f=42&t=31157

And the second one found here on our site viewtopic.php?f=42&t=36543

It's not 100% effective but googling the name and email address can turn up results quickly IF they are already a known scammer. Sometimes results may not show up and that just means the scammers info has not been posted yet. It still may be a scam.

Anytime you see a number beginning "+4470", consider it scammy. Those numbers appear to be in the UK, but they redirect to somewhere else, typically West Africa.
