Thank you for posting this scam email. Yes, it is a scam! A real family would never pay you a monthly salary/wages and the amount is far too high.

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.

Thank you very much for this. I was just about to confirm flights to go over and work for them. I searched the internet to follow up their stories and found your site. You are amazing! Glad I did a back ground check!

AlmostGotMe1233. Did you check with Border Agency website to see if you are able to do the work in the UK? There are strict rules and arrangements for aupair work and if you are not in the category you just won't get a visa. My advice is to check the rules in all countries you think of working in before you waste too much energy.We would like email addresses especially if anything different. This way you reinforce the scam information and help provide further proof. Some potential victims take a lot of convincing.
