Thank you. I am not aware of the differences in grammar and in writing. Good day.

You can recognise a scam by knowing the regulations, in this case for the UK:

You can only become an au pair in the UK when you are a citizen of any of the following countries:

European Economic Area, British Overseas Territories, Japan, Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or Monaco.

When you are not a citizen of any of these countries then you are not permitted to become an au pair in the UK. Therefore any family from the UK that say you can is lieing, and are scammers.

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

I can not believe it! Another Scam? do not you ever find a normal family in which I could work as an au pair?

He wrote me the same mail, but I have his profile from the site from which you contacted me. It simply can not be just an ordinary person who contacts the more au-pair? please......

But his name in my email is Micheal & Victoria Delvecchio, and he has different adress.

Unfortunately, it cannot. It is 100% scammer.
The sad reality is that scammers are much more active on some au pair sites than real people, and it is not unusual for someone looking for an au pair position to receive dozens of scammer approaches.
