Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Sun May 06, 2012 3:14 am
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. The scammer did not receive any au pair details from a US Au Pair Agency; he collected au pairs' email addresses from an online au pair website where he has a fake host family profile.

Subject: We appreciate you

Dear Aupair,

Thanks for your sincere response. We appreciate a lot.

How are things going this week for you? I will like to reassure you that we will make every provision for you here to enable you have a comfortable life here in US. You will live a normal family like life with us and enjoy every privileged my kids enjoys.

I will sponsor most of your traveling expenses if we see how everything goes. Right now, i want to hire a Travel Agency to oversea your traveling down to United States because i will be going for an overseas trip on the 17th of this month. Please i want to ask you something... What kind of passport do you have??? I like to know this because i will be giving my wife money to pay for your travel expenses when i make my trip. I will be writing from my location and then the Agency will give you instructions on how to handle your papers... Then before that i will send you a contract agreement letter to sign and get engaged with my family. This will only take a few days and then i will be able to send you a copy of your contract agreement letter.

Hope this will suit you and please understand... Your sincere response will be appreciated.

Thanks so much,

From... Mr Edgar & Family
