These scam mails were not sent from the UK; they were sent from Nigeria, as proven by the IP addresses, eg 41.138.177.20 - Lagos, Nigeria.
These are some of the stolen photographs sent by this scammer, who pretends that they are photos of his own family.
The agency is also fake, and is part of the scam.

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in my family, I quite understand your explanations but there is something you must understand. My kid is all I've got and I am determined to offer her the very best. been through a lot stress as the result of his Mum died and leave us behind so I feel that your presence here would erase most of the memories as I consider you a perfect match for her. I seriously appreciate your reply knowing you are willing and ready to be part of my family. I really need you to come over here to assist me take proper care of my family because am usually out and feel its bad leaving him alone at home at all time so I really would appreciate you come over here before as soon as possible, but let me ask a question. Do you have visa and work permit...?? If you don't have visa and work permit, I would advise you email my agency to help you for the UK Visa and Work Permit,
here is the link that you will contact them ([email protected]).
If you contact them let them know you are from me and explain to them all you need for the traveling to UK and I want to tell you that I will help you pay for the half payment that the agent ask you to pay for the visa and work permit here just to tell you how urgent I need you here and to assure you on how serious I am about you coming here to work for my family as an Au Pair, the job is already yours. As for how long you can work for my family, well i think that depend on how long you will like to work here with me but left for me, I do not intend to see you off in the next 2-3 years cause I really would need your services. I will be very grateful if you respond better to me..... You have nothing to worry about you will be treated like one of the family and you will have 5 days to work in a week and 2 days as your off day that is Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. You will have the opportunity to do what ever you want to for you own good on weekends...
Best Regard.
Capt Lewis
