Is this a scam? Plz it's very urgent

This family contacted me and there are a few similarities between this and a 2009 scam registered on scamwarners entitled Dinah Limpet and her son Vans. Email of this woman: Lily Brut <[email protected]> . Their lawyer contacted me with almost the exact same copy of contract letter of employment. Email:alexandria lawchambers <[email protected]>

I don't know how to add an image but the format of the letter is exactly the same but with different font.

I sent the documents because there was nothing binding, but not yet the copy of the passport because I am so unsure if it's a scam. I have uncovered 20 other scams but this one I am unsure of.

Hello JDBrits,

Yes, It is a scam. Scammers will change some minor details in their scam mail occasionally. Normally when their previous formats have been discovered and reported. They will also change email addresses.

subject: Hello xxxxxx

(Same Identical opening email scam as posted)

This scammer is hiding his Ip location using a Anonymous Proxy.

Thank you every1 for the fast response:) I can't believe how many scams I have come across.....which tools did you use to determine if its an anonymous proxy? I have an email and IP program but I have to pay to see full details.

Thank-you for posting the header JDBrits. One of the mistakes within the header is the NNFMP. They appear after the Received: from lines and are a clear indication the sender is fraudulant. Those five letters appear in many scam emails and usually (but not always) indicate a fake message. I only had to read the first line of the above posted email to see it was another scam attempt. Thankyou for posting because anyone conducting an internet search will now be alerted.

Hello my name is Mayor Richardson brut..i just got this i9nformation that someone is really using my pictures for scam. i have been looking for an Au pair for 3months now. this man jbrits was one of the Au pairs that contacted me and due to his financial incapability i dropped him. you go ahead and ask him if he spent any money. i wonder why he could come here to call me a scam? about the emails i used my wife's email to contact the au pairs and later i decided to use my personal email. so i wonder why people should come here to spoil my integrity. i am an American living here in London and i deserve some answers. thanks


Admin note: This post was made by the scammer himself, in a rather pathetic attempt to make himself look real. Most likely, he has lost victims who have found his listing here through google, and he hopes to use this post to make them think the report is wrong. We have left this post intact to show you just how low a scammer like this is willing to go to steal your money.

Hi scammer!

Nice to see you are still trying to hide behind the same proxy!

Although we normally don't want to educate scammers here, in this case I will give you a little bit of advice.

1) if you are going to pretend to be an American, you probably should learn to write like one, because your English gives you completely away.
2) when you pretend to be hiring an au pair in UK, and then create a "process" that doesn't follow UK law, it also gives you away.
