Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Wed Jun 20, 2012 3:26 am
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. If you are looking for an au pair position in the USA, please read these US Government webpages about the US Au Pair Program:

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family.

Hello ,

Thanks for the swift response,am very happy to hear from you,and also
want you to know that this job is yours and thanks for the interest in
my family,I will like to see your Curriculum Vitae (CV).Truly,I need a
foreign Nanny.I knew that there are a lot of Nannies in usa here but
is just that i need an Nanny from outside that is
caring,loving,motherly care and well determined that can take good
care of my kids for me but with the recommendation from you and that
is the more reason I may need you services,hopefully you will be my
kid's Nanny and do according to your words.

I don't play with my kids at all because they are the apples of my
eyes,i worked because of them and i can pay so much on them. My advice
to you is that you make all the expenses to reach here in United State
of America and i shall be responsible for refund for every expenses
made by you immediately you get here because why i said so is that i
have paid for 2 Nannies in the past months which they did not come to
my home but went to somewhere else and that is why i vowed that any
Nannies that i will employ,will make all expenses by himself/herself
,just for me to be sure that you will not do like the past Nannies
and you are ready to work with my family here in U.S because i don't
want someone who don't care about kids because i cherish my kids a
lot.

Don't worry about the United State of America,it's a nice place to
stay and which i hope you will enjoy staying here with my family and
you will have the access to internet Infact i have a personal PC at
