Dr Malvin Johnson: [email protected] - Same Scammer?

Received an Email from a Dr.Malvin Johnson.

Hello,

I saw your profile on the Easy Aupair site

We are a British family living in London, UK. I am a medical doctor in the London general hospital, i stay in 30 St. Mary's Avenue, London E17.
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.

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 Malvin Johnson

Again, sounding too good to be true...but I don´t want to peg someone who isn´t, except I do have warning bells going on.

Help?

Last week this scammer's name was Walter Smith.
http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&p=126492

The photographs sent by this scammer are not photos of his own family. They are 'stock photographs', available for anyone to purchase to use as illustrations or in advertisements. The scammer has purchased a set of these to use in his scams. He also sent these photographs when he was pretending to be called Dr Paul Smith. You can see this here:

The scammer also sends this photograph when pretending to be Dr Scott Brown. You can see this here:

You will only work from Monday to Friday, my kids love spending time with my Mum during the weekends so you will not work during the weekend. You will work for 7 hours daily However as regards your flight ticket that will be handled by me and also some other relevant documents you might be needing to proceed into the UK,but you have to take care of your UK visa fees nothing much I presume.So if you agree with these terms please let me know so that I can have my lawyer issue you your contract/invitation letter and also all the necessary details on how to obtain your traveling papers.
But first let me tell you a little bit about my family,

Subject: CONTACT THE IMMIGRATION

Hello,

I will send your detail to my lawyer, to send you the contract and invitation letter to you.

He will also contact the British immigration office here in London on how you can start the process and obtain your UK visa so you can come and start working in my family .

My Wife and i have concluded that, you will work for our family, and that can only happen if you already have a London Visa and i want you to contact with the British Immigration here in London with their e mail address ([email protected]) am sure they will let you know the requirements that will be needed in getting you a Visa and also they will let you know how to go about that cos they helped our former nanny in getting all her documents easily and fast.

We will like you to tell us more about you, your mobile number and more pictures of you would be fine.

Try make sure you contact them to enable you get your visa to London.


Best wishes
Dr Malvin Johnson

The British Immigration is also fake, and is part of the scam. [email protected] is another email address belonging to the same scammer who pretends to be Dr Malvin Johnson.

This scammer pretends that he has paid some money for the au pair. This is untrue. The scammer pretends that he has paid money, in the hope that this will encourage the au pair to send money for him to steal.

This is the fake passport sent by the scammer:



If an au pair cannot afford to send the amount of money requested by this scammer, he will accept a smaller amount. He prefers to steal lots of money, but he will settle for stealing smaller amounts.
