is she scam [email protected]?

can anybody check this email; [email protected] he said he was au pair agent.
and this is the host family [email protected]. The host family also send me the email of au pair before me; [email protected].

i have send the money to this address about 700$
Name: Deanne sands
City: Ann arbor
State: Michigan
Zipcode: 48105
country: usa

CAN ANYBODY TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?

Yes it is 100% a scam. The email address [email protected] is just a free gmail address and would not be used by a legitimate business.

Additionally, it is not possible to get visas through travel agencies - you have to attend the Embassy of the country you are planning on going to in person to apply for the visa. Anyone over the Internet who asks you to transfer money by Western Union or MoneyGram for visas or work permits is a scammer.

All 3 of the email addresses will be used by the same scammer (or members of the same group) in order to scam you out of money in fees for visas etc.

So why they still emailing me after i send the money?

I have send my information. So what should i do?

[AlanJones]

If you have already sent them money, then the only reason for them to continue to email you is to scam you into sending even more money. They will continue to come up with new reasons for you to send money for as long as you remain in contact with them.

I wouldn't worry too much that they have your information, they are only interested in getting your money off of you.

The best thing for you to do now is to cut off communications with them. Don't confront them as being scammers, as they will just deny it and try to continue to scam you.

Should I report it to the embassy?

That is a good question. I may be wrong but it may be worth a try lodging a complaint to the Embassy of the country where the scammer resides AND their Embassy in your country. You should include all the details you have about the person you were corresponding with. Details of the scam format and include copies of western union receipts and etcetera. You will also need to request that the scammer be prosecuted. Also include all your contact details. Maybe have it witnessed and signed by a JP? Such a complaint should be considered as an official statement. And hopefully some action will be taken on your behalf.
But on the other hand, they might only offer a sympathetic ear.

Hello faesholt7,

Scammers use fake names and email addresses registered with false information - so it is usually impossible to discover who they really are. Most Au Pair Scammers are really living in Nigeria; they just pretend to be in the USA, UK, or other countries.

Therefore, neither the police nor any Embassy will be able to do much with any information that you give them. If you have had money stolen by a scammer, you can certainly report this to the police, but it is unlikely that they can do any more than make a record of this crime.
