Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Tue May 29, 2012 11:46 pm
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. This scammer has created a fake family profile at a free website, which he hopes will trick au pairs into believing that the family is real. The family is not real; it is the invention of the scammer. This scammer frequently pretends that an au pair needs to rent an apartment for his or her accommodation in the UK. The scammer then pretends, also, to be an estate caretaker who has an apartment to offer, and states that a deposit for this apartment is needed. All money sent as a deposit is stolen from the au pair.

Family Description:

We are a fun loving family presently living in Washington, USA but we will be relocationg to London, United Kingdom very soon depending on how soon we are able to find a good aupair with sense of humor as we will like to find an aupair before we move to London.
we would like to invite the right candidate to live with us in London taking good care of our only child. We have a 6 years old boy, named Angus and the main role for you is to be with Angus when my husband and i are at work. angus needs someone to walk with him to school every morning, school is in the street, 500 metres away and angus needs to be picked up every afternoon at 3.30pm. You will need to be with Angus until we get home. One night a week we may like you to be with angus if we need to go out, this is not very frequent we usually do most things with Angus. other than that very small cleaning acitivities are required, we have a cleaner so not big tasks, the main focus is being angus's friend when we are at work and he is home from school, he is very smart and funny and talks a lot at times but is such a gorgeous boy - we are so very lucky to have him, other things that can help us are things like feeding the 2 dogs ( small dogs) and 1 cat, who angus has called Batman! though caring for the animal is not important and not really a part of your duty since we understand some people are allegic to animals so we can do that ourself. we want a stable person in angus's life to help us and keep him company.we want someone to be a part of angus's life and ours, we are also mindful that if you are young that you are away from your home and family and need to feel safe and looked after too, we will do everything to make you feel comfortable that you will hardly miss your home.
Your duty task include helping angus with breakfast and make his lunch, walk him to and from school. if angus has a friend over to look after them until we get home. Put washing in the machine and hang out the washing when required, vaceuming sometimes if needed. Angus loves people listening to his reading and helping when needed and loves to have people listen to his piano practice. he likes to play basketball, which we have set up on the tennis court. we would like the right candidate to be part of the family.
Andrew (My husband) and i are both from large families and welcome the opportunity for angus to share experiences with someone from another country.
We will be moving to brent street, london, USA and brent street is located 2 km from London central, you need 15 minutes with train to London central. In brent street there are language schools also so you will not have any problem attending language classes if you wish and we will sponsor your tuition for the period you work with my family, the nearest grocery store is just 5 minutes walk. If you have a driving license, you may also use one of our cars.
We hope to pay £12 hourly plus bus ticket worth £65 weekly and we will also provide you with a mobile phone with some inclusive minutes each month and the rest would be your responsibility. We will also provide your feeding and we will pay your tax since we pay it all together as a family tax so you might not need to pay much bills from your salary and with that you should have enough saving at the end of every month.
We would love a friendly, cheerful aupair with a good sense of humor and fun! Your duty is basically taking care of Angus and You will be expected to work for 40 hours weekly from Monday to Friday with weekends off so in order word you will be paid 480 pounds weekly. Before we proceed further we will still like you to answer these few questions. 1) What is your nationality? 2) Have you ever traveled outside your home country before? 3) Have you much experience working with kid’s? 4) Do you smoke? 5) Do you drink? 6) Do you have brothers and sisters? 7) Do you Drive? 8) Do you mind doing light cooking? 9) Can you help with shopping? 10) Can you help with housework? 11) Can you provide us with your phone number ?
Hope to hear from you soon.
