Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

Hi Folks!

This is what's going on, I subscribed to aupairnet24.com and a woman called Isabel Foster contacted me, she has three pics of her, with her husband and her baby, she asked me to reply her back through email if I was interested, everything seemed natural in her profile, so I sent her a message telling her who I am and my conditions, I waited about 8 days for her reply and finally today I received a message which confuses me so much! It's a PDF but I've copied and pasted the letter below.

The email comes from: [email protected]

Total fake.

The writing in the "agreement" is not British. It is consistent with an African author.
The agreement itself is utter nonsense. Employment agreements define work responsibilities, not how many televisions are in a house! And if a house has 5 rooms total, how can it have 4 bathrooms?

There are other indicators too--but in the end, what it boils down to is that this is a fake job offer made by a scammer who wants to steal your money.

This sounding highly sus. Barristers do not prance around handling peoples migration papers etc. It's a well known scam format, sad to say.
You would be doing yourself a favour by simply ignoring the scammer.
