This is not a genuine au pair oppportunity; it is a scam.

From: Anthony Brooks <[email protected]>
Subject: From your eaupair profile

Hello,

we are a family looking for an aupair to come and live with us and be a part of our family, we have a girl Gena. We need an aupair that will live with us and take care of our child when we go to work.

We are a loving couple, my name is Mr. Anthony Brooks and I work as a manger in a communication company here in London, my spouse Joelle works in a hospital as a nurse, we are always busy with work that is why we need an elderly friend for our child and we decided to contact you on becoming an aupair in our family.

We do not want any people that have problems with people. We also have a car here in case if there is any errand you have to run (that is if you know how to drive) we shall give you the care you need. We need you to take good care of our child. You have the chance of making her enjoy you as a friend. We really need an aupair from outside UK due to the fact that they will concentrate on their jobs, the aupair will have to live with us.

Your traveling documents will be taking care here in the UK. We will take care of all traveling expenses. You will have your own room fully furnished, feel free to get to write back to us with your resume, because we need an aupair that will start work as soon as possible.


Hoping to hear from you ASAP. Get back to us at: [email protected]


Warm regards

GORDON LARRY(BARR IN-CHARGE)

UK BORDER AGENCY

IMMIGRATION OFFICE

The proof of sufficient funds is bogus: the genuine UK Border Agency never requests that money is transferred in this way. All money transferred by Western Union as instructed will be stolen by the scammer. He is able to collect this money himself, using the transfer details, regardless of which name the transfer was made to.

Attached fake document reads:

UK Border Agency, 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF UK

The information contained in this document constitutes confidential information.
The information is intended only for the use of the intended recipient. You are hereby notified that
any dissemination, distribution or copying of this document by anyone other than the intended
recipient is strictly prohibited

ATTENTION:

We have noted the content of your Application, Your employer Mr. Anthony Brooks contacted our office, through an Immigration lawyer called Barrister Gordon Larry concerning your intended job as Au pair/ Nanny to their Family in London.

In order to legally work in the United Kingdom without applying under the government’s tier based points system, an applicant must not be less than 16, International Au pairs or Nannies need to apply for work identity card for foreign nationals/ from the UK Border Agency, which will allow them to legally work as an Au pair or Nanny for a sponsoring host family in the UK.

The UK Border Agency is responsible for securing the United Kingdom borders and controlling immigration in the United Kingdom. We manage border control for the United Kingdom, enforcing immigration and customs regulations. We also consider applications for permission to enter or stay in the United Kingdom, citizenship and asylum.

Disclaimer:

The UK Home Office wishes to authoritatively inform applicants seeking for immigration status into the United Kingdom not to make any payments for processing of Work Permit, Visa and/or Expatriate Quota Approval. Approval for entry (Visa) into the \United Kingdom is executed by the Nearest British Embassy or Consulate within the applicants country of residence or location after regulation and certification of the applicant by the UK Home Office as at the time of application.

To apply, you have to send these documents in the following formations:

1) Your International Passport (Scan and email to Barrister Gordon Larry)
2) 2 recent passport photographs of yourself for proper Identification (Scan and email to Barrister Gordon Larry)
3) Fill the attached Visa Forms (Scan and email to Barrister Gordon Larry)

The following fees need to be provided by your employer for the Processing of your work permit:

.1 The booking of your flight will be after receiving all other needed Documents, which should be approximately 283.00GBP
2. The payment of your application fee which is only 550.00 GBP
3. The payment of your Work Permit fee which is 850.00GBP

We have contacted your employer with this payment information and he promised to provide the total fee as soon as possible.

The UK Home Office will exercise its full powers to perform its responsibility to regulate entry into the UK, by:

•Ensuring that the sponsor is financially capable to support the applicant entering the United Kingdom for Business or Pleasure throughout the duration of the validity of the Entry Visa.

• Ensuring that the applicant, has the minimum stipulated financial requirement to earn the needed points for
Accession Worker Card, going by the new point-based system for immigration in 2011.

• Ensuring that the applicant is eligible to Live, Work and carry out business activities in the United Kingdom legally.

The new points-based system (PBS) is the biggest shake up of the immigration system for 45 years. Under the new system, migrants will need to pass a points-based assessment before they receive Certificate of Eligibility and permission to enter or remain in the United Kingdom. It will help British businesses recruit the skills it needs from abroad and assure the British public that only the skilled migrants will need to come to the United Kingdom. The role of employees/migrants with qualifying financial base is crucial to its success.

Before the issuance of Accession Worker Card to you by Local British Consulate, you are required to show proof that the stipulated financial requirement/applicant travel allowance as indicated above is available. The UK Home Office would ensure via this means that only eligible applicants who are financially capable are allowed entry into the United Kingdom. Accession Worker Card:

This step must be completed by any one you wish to stand in as your next of Kin. As per UK Immigration policies, an individual must be aware of your travel to the United Kingdom. This can be your Mother or Father or Brother or Sister or Close Relative or friend and is at your discretion.

CONFIRMATION/PROOF OF SUFFICIENT FUNDS

To meet the above requirement you or your selected next of kin is required to make a deposit of the stipulated financial requirement of 1000.00GBP the equivalent in US DOLLARS, EUROS, or your local currency via any Western Union/Money Gram agent using the following procedure:

Senders Name: Should be the selected individual you wish to stand in as your next of kin or your best friend. Someone has to be aware that you are coming to the United Kingdom

Receivers Name: Must be you the primary sponsor

Payout Country: United Kingdom

As soon as you come down here you can visit any Western Union agent and receive back your deposit,
using the details. Note: You must ensure that the senders name is the above as instructed and the receiver is yours for security reasons and as the primary sponsor of your immigration into the United Kingdom.

In summary you have to scan and email the below requirements to Barrister Vincent Brooke for immediate submission to our Office for the procurement of your Visa

• The data page of your International Passport
• The Western Union/ Money Gram Receipt you used to make the deposit of 1000.00GBP in your name
• 2 recent passport pictures of yourself
• Your filled Visa Forms
