Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

Hello, I am a Spanish au pair who is currently receiving loads of e-mails from well-known scammers (Gitte Knudsen, Robert Dale, etc) and I have received one a couple of minutes ago from this account.
This is the copy of what I have received:

Dear Au Pair,
I am looking for an international Au pair to provide loving care for my child. We live here in London UK, and we have an incredible culture that I would love to share with you. I am looking for someone who is honest and God fearing.There are Language Schools in our area, for the Au- pair who may be interested in taking courses. I would be willing to provide assistance
with tuition, and you will be entitled to health insurance. A typical job description would involve helping me to get the child
ready each morning and get him to preschool by 8 am, pick him up around noon and return home for lunch and nap time.The majority of the enrichment time I would expect from the Au- pair would occur in the afternoon after the child wakes up from naps. I usually return home by 6 p.m.Send us an e mail with Introduction about yourself and any recent picture.
I hope to hear from you on your position about this.
Regards,
Dr.Sand Green


The story is that I am looking for this e-mail in google, trying to find out who this guy is, and there is an importat lack of information... Could you help me? Thank you so much.

Hello Ayshel114,

Yes, that is another scam. You can see an identical scam mail here:

viewtopic.php?f=42&p=120519

Scammers often re-use the same sentences (or the whole email) in their different scams, so as well as googling the email addresses of potential host families, it is also a good idea to google some sentences from their mails, to see whether they have previously been used in scams.

Sometimes scammers do write emails with a new and original text - so an original text does not mean that a family is genuine. BUT: a genuine family does not copy a scam mail text to send to au pairs; only scammers do this.
