Hello again!
I received another scam ¬¬
like the email address I have not found on this page I copy it, also copied the letter.
I hope that it will help someone!
First email:
Hello

My name is Dr Peter Rodwell and my Wife's name is Florence, we will
like to inform you that we are British family working and living here
in United Kingdom.

My friend Urszula who use to be my neighbour before she travelled
to Poland told me about the aupair programme and promised to help me find one so
am glad you contacted me

I am a Medical Doctor and work as a Private consultant and my Clients
are usually Multinational companies and also Elite Citizens while my
Wife
Works as an Assistant manager of Unilever Company here in London UK. We have a
Lovely Son Val who is aged two and we have been taking care of him
alone until my Friend Introduced us to aupair programme and we decided to
give it a trial .
We areSimply in search of a honest and caring Au pair to help us take good
Care of our Lovely Son each time we are not at home.

We are looking for an Au pair who is willing to stay with us for a
minimum of 2 to 6 Months or more if you so wish. My Friend gave me a Link
to your profile and we have looked at it and i thought it wise to
contact you, to
discuss the possibilities of having you as our Au pair and as well as
our family member in the spirit of cultural exchange. We’re a
laid-back and happy family and my Wife is a caring Woman which
Makes us a lovely and fun loving family.

We live at No 30 Wells St City of Westminster, W1T, UK

This effectively means that we mainly hang out in the garden at home
Or sometimes go out on day trips to just about anywhere; beaches,
Country parks, adventure parks, activity farms, seaside towns, forest
Walks… you name it.we also like to celebrate our Summer in our beach
house so if you would stay for the summer then you can have good fun
with us
Val is a very easy going, always happy and as
such you can get along with him easily, he is my lovely Son and i love and
cherish him so much as a father that is why I'm trying my best to make
him feel comfortable in life.

This is our first time of hiring an Au pair so we would like to know
when you can be available . Please e mail us if you would like to
discuss the position with us.

Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Best regards.
Dr Rodwell



Second:

Dear Au pair,

How are you today, Hope you are having a great day?

Glad hearing from you because i really appreciate your response.

name of my wife is Florence along side with my lovely Son Val who is
2 years old.

person, mean while my son likes visiting the park, playing with his
car toys, also a car will be made available for you if you are willing
to drive or learn how to drive, i promise you as your host that you
stay comfortably with my family because we are a Christian family.

There is a nice English Class around our area, also there other Au

English Lesson and the cost will be taken care by my family if you are
willing.

together visits the beach for the sake of catching fun it has become a
part of us we are indeed a lovely family who will love you to come and
Join us as soon as you deem fit to come, i promise you that it is
going to be a memorable and wonderful time for the family we have
longed for the moment when a lovely Au pair will come and join us.

I want to make everything move in a normal way without any problem
because this is our first experience of hosting an Au pair. Val Is our
only child so i wouldn't want anything that will hurt him and i have
promise to be a good dad to him so that he will grow happily, please
all we want from you is to take good care of Val , take him as your
little brother, your friend, play with him and teach him some good
cultural exchange.He is a very smart kid and easily learn from people

apartment, 2 bed room flat with internet access, TV set, Telephone and
some other good things that will make you feel at home because as a
Doctor i know what is good for people both young and old.

Val goes to school from 10am to 4pm which means he stays 6 hours in
school so all you need to do is to take him to school when it is 10am
then come back and take care of your own needs and when it is 4pm you
will be required to go and pick him up(but you wouldnt be bothered
with this chores During summer as they would also be on holiday) also
with regards to your English course it last for just 2 hours.
Saturdays and Sundays will be your free day and your salary will be
390GBP per week i don't know if this will be OK for you but that is
what we can offer for now and we don't know how it goes because this
is our first experience therefore your pocket money will be given to
you every Friday for your upkeep, my Wife is a nice and Caring woman
so sometimes she might decide to add a little thing to you depending
how caring you are to her son because she cherish him so much.

I hope our communication and relationship would be a fruitful one.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Greetings from my Family.

Hello icewoman28 and welcome to ScamWarners.

Could you also post the email address that "Urszula" uses, as "she" is part of the scam.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Hello!
I am a spanish girl who has received the same e-mails, and I answered then because I thought they will be true.
What can I do now?? Can you help me? Is it dangerous??
Please! I hope to heard someone soon!!!
Thanks!
They send me a third letter:
Hi

We have read your details and we are happy that you could get back to
Us
We have talked to my friend who had aupair before and they told us
that if we have to invite someone from another country to UK then we
have to make sure that we go into the written Agreement

We need to also Apply for the necessary Documents for your aupair
Job here in UK.We would be the one to take care of your supporting
Document


I have already consulted my attorney that works with UK Home Office
to prepare a contract letter of agreement, so i will get back to you with
the contract letter when it is ready.

Considering the fact that we have already taken you as part of our
family i have some questions for you hope to receive an answer soon.

1). Do you smoke or drink too much Alcohol?

2). Do you suffer from any kind of sickness?

3). Have you worked as an Au pair before?

4)Why did you choose to be an aupair?

5)If a Child does something Wrong what would be your best method of

correction

6) Is any member of your family aware of your intention to visit the UK
7)What is your name in full?


Best regards from my family wishing you a happy moment.

Hello Alan, thanks for the welcome, the email adress is the same as fatcat123 have posted.

It is deffo a scam, I sent another email trying to sound interested saying that I couldn't send the cv and references yet although could enclose a photo, which it was a scam alert photo, and their reply was the same as Pilar have post. I don't what you should do in this case, what have you send to them? cv and references?
by David Jansen Sat Jun 16, 2012 4:02 am
Welcome here PilarGuerra.

Do not worrie if you have send anything to the scammer, like photos or your cv. These scammers are getting a lot of them from the au pairs writing to them and scammers are not interested in them. Best thing to do is to stop writing to the scammer.

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.
