Scammers practice their lies dozens of times each day and thousands of times a week. It is unfortunate they do appear so sincere and truthful. It is good that you checked with us and now know it is a scam.

Please post any other scams you come across or if you are wondering if it is a scam, post it and we will help you.

in my family.I have seen your Curriculum Vitae(C.v),with so i have decided to take you in as my nanny/housekeeper.Truly,I need a
foreign Nanny.There are a lot of Nannies here in UK here but is just that i
need a Nanny from outside the United Kingdom that posesses these characters of
; motherly care and love and also well determined to take good care of my kids

I reside in West Ham,here in London,United Kingdom and do not get worried
about any documents,an agency here in the UK will secure your papers and apply

the visa is ready the UK Embassy in your country will call on you,so that they
can endorse the visa on your original passport.Just follow any instructions i
give you because it will make things a reality.
I don't play with my kids Terry and Sara, at all because they are the apples of my eyes,i

Kingdom and i shall be responsible for
refund of every expenses made by you immediately you get here because why i
said so is that i have paid for 2 Nannies in the past months which they did not
come to my home but went to somewhere else and that is why i vowed that any
Nannies that i will employ,will make 50% expenses by himself/herself ,just for
me to be sure that you will not do like the past Nannies and you are ready to
work with my family here in UK because i don't want someone who don't
care about kids because i cherish my kids a lot.

The above mentioned phone number (447031961886) can be seen at viewtopic.php?f=42&t=38694. The whole thing is simply a slimey trickster attempting to scam you. There is no employment and no family. I am happy you asked the question.
From what I can determine, this scam has been around since 2008.
