Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Fri Apr 27, 2012 1:58 am
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. Please also note that, in reality, the UK Home Office does not issue nor approve contracts - this is an invention of the scammer.

This is not an email from the UK Border Agency; it is another email from the scammer. It was not sent from the UK; it was sent from Nigeria, as proven by the IP address: 41.206.12.7 - Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

The Confirmation/Proof of Sufficient Funds is bogus; the genuine UK Border Agency never requests that money is transfered in this way. If a money transfer is made as described in this email, the scammer will steal the money. He is able to do this, using the transfer details, regardless of which name the transfer is made to.

Dear Applicant,

Your employer Mr Gary Doyle contacted our office and ask that we should treat your application with priority.

Find below the necessary steps you will take to enable you obtain your Certificate of Eligibility.


(1) You are to fill properly the UK Visa Application Form and leave your sponsor's section blank for us to complete.

(2) A scanned copy of your passport.

(3) And sign the attached contract letter if you are okay with its terms.

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.

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 Visa Approval, going by the new point-based for immigration in 2010.

• 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 Certificate of Eligibility to you for issuance of Visa 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.

To meet the above requirement applicants are required to make a deposit of the stipulated financial requirement of £750GBP via any Western Union/Money Gram agent using the following format :

The telephone number +447024042594 used in the fake contract is not a normal UK telephone number; it is a 'redirect' number, redirecting all calls to a mobile phone elsewhere in the world. In this case, it redirects all calls to the scammer's mobile phone in Nigeria.
