Help me please! Is this a scam?
According to its IP address their have written from Ireland...

Hello auraandrea!

Yes this is a scam! The spelling and grammar is actually pretty good for a scammer but the pay 350£ is about 4 times too much. Typical pay for an AuPair in the UK is around 80 to 90£ a week pocket money. Not only that but a very similar email has been already posted here http://www.scamwarners.org/forum/viewto ... 4&p=110442 the names have just been changed.

Glad you got suspicious! Can you please post the scammers email address? It will help others avoid the scammer.

Justin

Thank you for your answer!
