This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam.

From: Mayor Richardson <[email protected]>

Like we had earlier informed you in the site. I and my wife are from new york but we are working and living here in United Kingdom.

We have a Lovely son who is 2 years old and we have been taking care of him alone. We are simply in search of a honest and caring Au pair/nanny to help us take good Care of our 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 1 TO 3Months or more if you so wish 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.

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. my son 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 because i would like an Au pair that can start as soon as possible.

I am an aeronautic Engineer and work as a freelance Engineer Servicing Chopper Hub and my Wife a Film Producer Assistant Manager Most times we are Busy with Work. I enjoys sports a lot and my wife is a very hard working person. I am handling the search for an Au pair as she has recommended you due to her job condition.

Meanwhile my son likes visiting the park, a friend around, and his favorite meal is rice.
We live in 104 Wentworth St London Borough of Tower Hamlets, E1 7SA, United Kingdom. Also a car will be made available for you if you are willing to drive or learn how to drive.

Job Description, I will need you to stay with Val when we are not around and take care of his immediate need. It is important that you forms a close bond with Val and you would become friends. But in general your evenings will be your own to do what you wish. You are expected to work for 20-25hrs every week (weekends Excluded).

Start Date, we are Flexible with your start date so you do write us in your next mail on your details of availability you will be offered 250GBP = $402 as your weekly incentives for your Upkeep.

All we require from you is to love and take good care of Val
My family is indeed a lovely one and will love you to join us as soon as you deem fit to come. We promise you it is going to be a memorable and wonderful time for the family as we have longed for the moment when a lovely Au pair will come and join us.

Your bedroom is situated in the attic of our house. The room has a king size bed, under bed storage space, dressing table/desk and chest. You would also have a Wifi Internet Connection and a desktop.

It is really important that you enjoy your time in London with us and we would like you to stay for as long as possible. You would be a valued and respected member of our family. We will be reasonable in our approach to you employment and flexible with any changes to a weekly schedule. We feel that having open communication with you is important and will reward your good work with extra time off whenever we are able to. We work hard but we also like to have fun!

I wanted to be an Au Pair too and sign into the page : Aupairnet24.com . And a pretended american soldier that live in London contacted with me, and the profile was the same as you published, and the lawyer, and the contract. With the difference that he had a soon and he is widow. His name was: Sgt Ben Murdock , and the son is Zak. He even sent me a lot of photographs of "them" and even the contract. And that´s why I have found out this post.

So much thanks for the warning!!
