Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Sun Jul 15, 2012 1:58 am
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. This scammer uses the telephone number +447045731558. Like all telephone numbers which begin +4470, this is not a normal UK telephone number; it is a redirect number, redirecting all telephone calls to a mobile phone almost anywhere in the world. These +4470 telephone numbers are frequently used by au pair scammers who are living in Nigeria, as they can receive the redirected calls on their mobile phone in that country.

Beloved xxxxxx,

Congratulations! You have gotten the appointment to be my Au pair. Actually, i really need you as soon as possible. I believe you are coming to London within few weeks from now. I have to prepare this contract form from my Attorney. Please fill and sign this contract form and send it to me attorney's email [email protected]
He will direct you on what next to do. I want this to be treated with urgency.

Please note: You do not have to contact or respond to another family until you are through with this.
Thank you.
Ann Sherry

The Attorney is also fake, and is part of the scam. The @lawyer.com email is a free 'fun' webmail address available from mail.com, and will be another email address belonging to the same scammer who is also pretending to be Ann Sherry.

Again, @london.com is a free webmail address available from mail.com. The genuine UK Border Agency does not use free webmail email addresses. Genuine UK Border Agency email addresses end with @ukba.gsi.gov.uk - and with no words or abbreviations after that.
