Subject: COME AND WORK FOR MY FAMILY

Hello Au pair,

I saw your profile on the Easy Au pair site.

We are a British family living in London, UK. I am a medical doctor in the London general hospital, i stay in 30 Harley Street, London W1G 7JJ.
We currently have some kids aged 2 & 4 years old, we looking for a Au Pair or Nanny from Any Country that can speak English and is willing to stay with us for a minimum of 6 or 12 month(s).

About Our Family

We are a professional couple, living here in the UK .Our kids are fairly easy going and relaxed,they would enjoy someone with lots of energy and enthusiasm.. Having English as a first language is not required and in fact, we would entertain the nanny speaking to them in
her own mother-tongue..

We only seek a Au pair for basic child care and light housework. If you accept to take a position with us, you would be paid the sum of £1800(One thousand eight hundred pounds sterling) with a weekly pocket money of £200. Hence we are doing anything that would motivate the intending Nanny to put in her best in taking care of our children.

You shall have a private accommodation with furnished sitting room and bedroom and also a private bathroom. A Fixed land phone and an Internet ready computer.Do well to send us your references or resume & also an update picture of yourself, and we would get in touch with them. Should the outcome be positive, we would send you a Contract Letter. We shall discuss travel arrangements in due course of which I would be of generous assistance to you. You can reach me on my personal mobile to indicate your interest. My Number is +447045754032 or [email protected]

We sincerely look forward to hearing from you.


Best Wishes
Dr Walter Smith

This scammer uses the same redirect phone number in many of his scams. You can see this if you copy and paste the following into a Google search:

site:scamwarners.com +447045754032

This telephone number, like all telephone numbers which begin +4470, is not a normal UK telephone number; it is a redirect number, and it redirects all calls to the scammer's mobile phone in Nigeria.

These are some of the stock photographs sent by this scammer, who pretends that they are photos of his own family. This scammer also uses these photographs when he is pretending to be called Dr Donald Harrison. You can see this here:

The same scammer sends all the emails: from the fake Dr Walter Smith, from the fake lawyer, and from the fake British Immigration Office.

The scammer has not paid any money to anyone. He invents this untruth in the hope that it will encourage au pairs to send money. All money sent as instructed will be stolen by the scammer, and no genuine documents will ever be received.
