Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Sun Jul 15, 2012 4:21 am
This scammer is sending out emails, pretending that they are sent by the au pair website eAupair.com. This email is NOT sent from eAupair.com; it is sent by the same scammer who is pretending to be the fake Mrs Miriam Timbruce.

The scammer has forged the 'from' address; but you will notice that the 'reply-to' address is the scammer's own [email protected] address.

Hello Au pair,

How are you today, hope you are doing real good?

My name is Mrs. Miriam and the name of my Husband is Mr. Timbruce along
side with our lovely Son Vans who is 2 years old. My Husband enjoys
Sports but he is always busy in the office and he is a very hard
working person, mean while my Vans likes visiting the park, playing
with his car toys, also a car will be made available for you if you
are willing to drive or learn how to drive, i promise you as your host
mother that you will stay comfortably with my family because we are a
Christian family.

We live in a city at (23 Kimpton Rd, London SE5 7EA, UK), There is a
nice English Class around our area, also there are other Au pairs
living around our area you will have the time to attend to an English
Lesson and the cost will be taken care by my family if you are
willing.

Our family is a fun loving family and during the weekends we all
together visits the beach for the sake of catching fun it has become a
part of us we are indeed a lovely family who will love you to come and
Join us as soon as you deem fit to come, i promise you that it is
going to be a memorable and wonderful time for the family we have
longed for the moment when a lovely Au pair will come and join us.

I would like to receive your CV for perusal and show it to my husband
for approval; do you have any Reference you can send to us?

I want to make everything move in a normal way without any problem
because this is our first experience of hosting an Au pair. Vans is my
only Son so i wouldn't want anything that will hot him and i have
promise to be a good mum to him so that he will grow happily, please
all we want from you is to take good care of Vans, take him like your
brother, your friend, play with him and teach him some good cultural
exchange.

We have a large house so your accommodation will be a live in
apartment, 2 bed room flat with internet access, TV set, Telephone and
some other good things that will make you feel at home because as a
mother i know what is good for people both young and old.

Vans goes to school from 10am to 4pm which means he stays 6 hours in
school so all you need to do is to take him to school when it is 10am
then come back and take care of your own needs and when it is 4pm you
will be required to go and pick him up also with regards to your
English course it last for just 2 hours. Saturdays and Sundays will be
your free day and your salary will be 250GBP per week i don't know if
this will be OK for you but that is what we can offer for now and we
don't know how it goes because this is our first experience therefore
your pocket money will be giving to you every Friday for your upkeep,
my husband is a nice and reputable man so sometimes he might decide to
add a little thing to you depending how caring you are to his Son
because he cherish Vans so much.

I hope our communication and relationship would be a fruitful one.

Hope to hear from you soon.
Greetings from my Family.

Mrs. Miriam Timbruce
