I understand that I may not use the family's automobile(s) for any reason without express permission from the host family and that any agreement to use the host family's automobile is strictly between the host family and me. I will not use the automobile unless the host family has obtained all of the mandatory automobile insurance coverage required under the laws of the land where the host family resides.

3. I shall submit a refundable commitment fee deposit of 450 USA DOLLARS ($ USD) when submitting the agreement form. This fee will be refunded after a week completion of taking care of your Host Family's kids or after the successful arrival of me at my host family residence due to his past experience with au pairs, unless forfeited in accordance with this Agreement.

I think that she is Allen Kuss because i see a post who mentioned the same lawyer ( Mac Kings ) that Allen Kuss sent to me.
by Chris Fuller Sat Apr 28, 2012 1:34 am
Yes, Foxy, you are correct: the same scammer who pretends to be called Marie Clarkson also pretends to be called Alen Kuss. The fake lawyer's email address - [email protected] - is another email account which also belongs to the scammer. Sometimes au pair scammers continue to use the same fake lawyer or fake agency or fake embassy email address for several different scams.

The Alen Kuss scam can be seen here:
