au pair spam

Hello i look for an au pair job next year. I have registered in the website EasyAupair.com and i have been contacted by some families. William Louden is a scam and i know. There is one family that did not contact me directly, but i received email from the website saying that they have checked that there intentions are genuine. I contacted them and they got back to me asking for my personal details. Should i proceed? I foward their email:

Hello Dear,

We are excited that the Administrative/ Registration unit finally recommended
you as our intending Au pair, we fully appreciate their recommendation
which was why we consulted them earlier to help us with a competent applicant.
However, we terminated our profile with the assurance that they will
get us a competent and caring Au pair from the registration you made
and to avoid
further contact with any other applicant accept the one they recommend.

I will appreciate you to Update us with a formal introduction of
yourself with Full names
or a CV if you have any. My husband will have to go through it as soon
as he comes back from work this evening. He will have to go through it
and make an approval, then I will
get back to you soon.

I will briefly introduce my family:

who is now3years old this January........... is my Angel and we have
been taking care of her alone.
I am handling the search for an honest person to work for us as my
husband recommended
me to do so due to the nature of his job which involves traveling.
Also to help us with the upkeep
of our lovely daughter each time we are not at home due to our various
job engagements

My daughter likes visiting the park especially Finchley park close to
our home, going on outing
at the beach, shopping and a friend around. Her favorite meal is rice.

We live in a city in Central London London, United Kingdom.
There is a nice English Class around our area and We will enroll you
into a language school
to improve your English and we will take care of the cost and expense
if you are willing.
Also a car will be made available for you if you are willing to drive
or learn how to and
we will help you in getting a driving license; and will take care of
the expense.
We have no pet in my home and i do virtually all the cooking at home.

You are required to resume few days as soon as you arrive UK and to
stay for the period of time which
we will discuss and we both accept. Any other period exceeding this
will also be discussed and negotiated properly.
You are required to work a maximum of 25hrs per week, then you will be

Help us bring our daughter back from school each day she goes to school.
Hang out with her mostly to beaches, parks as she enjoys the company

personal life.
This is actually our first time and i do not know if this payment is okay but
we feel we can make an increment if other words. All we require from you

of her as i have promised her my love.

My family is indeed a lovely one and we will love you to join us as soon as

Well i think i solved the mystery myself. I found a previous post about mrs catherine russel (she has the same name) and the information is so similar, so i think this is scam. But how was the message from the aupair website sent to me? Can they do that? Do you know any good websites for au pair search? I ve got like 4 or 5 e mails from families but i dont believe any of them...It is so difficult. Thanks for all the help that you provide us. I attach the email with all the details now that i know it is a fraud...

Mrs Russell.
London, United Kingdom.

The message from the au pair website was probably a fake, sent by the scammers themselves. It's not hard to fake an email address as the return address.

As to sites for au pair positions, the sad reality is that all of the general au pair sites are loaded with scammers. It is not uncommon to receive dozens of fake offers for each potentially real one. Working with a legitimate placement agency is more challenging, but in general much safer.

Its inhumane what they do!!!!! Anyway for warning some others scams are:
- Brendy Donald- a british family, but mail was sent from Crezch Republic
-Carmen Jackson, supposely from NY. Obviously, not aware that i should be sponsored for au pair in the States and they are offering 400 dollars a week!!! I foward those messages for alert:

-Hello Au pair,

We are looking for an au pair to come and join our family in the United Kingdom. We have our little son Vans that is 2 years old to look after. In our family there is myself, my husband and our son. We also have plenty of extended family that we see regularly.My husband and I are both active in our marriage life and we enjoy playing golf, tennis and running which makes us an active and lively family.

We would like an au pair to look after our Son Vans carefully and do light
housework when he is asleep That is why we decided to choose your profile at www.Easyaupair.com. We would like our au pair to be a part of the family during their stay and teach us about their culture with the kind food they eat and how to prepare it, also language in exchange.

We would like an au pair that is active and outgoing who will be happy to
take Vans outdoors and for walks and talk to him, play with him and read books,poems with him etc.We also need an au pair that will be faithful and
trustworthy without any reckless or careless behavior.

If you are interested in our offer please kindly write to us soon.
Looking forward to hear from you.

With love.

Mrs.Brendy Donald




Hello Dear,

I am grateful for your positive response. Allow me to explain more about your assign duty and also about us.
At first, we reside in 121 South Ave, Staten Island, NY 10303. A nice, quite and calm city. Where we live is just about 25 mins drive from the big city of New York. I am blessed with two lovely kids namely Ashley (she is 9 years old) and James (he his 7 years old)

What you are assign to do or I say your task as a nanny are as follows.
You'll be working 5 to 6 hours a day. You are required to prepare the kids for school and take them to and from school. (that is, take them to school and later go and pick them from school in the afternoon). Care for and stimulate the children both mentally & physically, to ensure their intellectual, physical and social development. Look after their physical well being, encouraging proper use of everything - wash and bath them, help them on how to dress and undress. You are required to spend time with the child, running errands, house cleaning and light cooking is a possibility, but not really a requirement. We prefer someone who will reinforce our desire to teach our children responsibilities and do not expect to undertake the children assigned tasks but instead to find ways to encourage them to complete tasks (I mean not to spoil the kids by doing everything for them).
On weekends (Saturdays) you'll take them out to new places such as beach and other recreational places (You are fully free on Sunday).

When we want you to start and how long.
We did not have a specific date or reference to when you can start. You can start anytime. We would like to have you for not less than two months. It will be nice if you want to stay longer, even if you want to stay for more than a year. Your happiness with us during your stay is more important.

What we plan to offer.
We will be giving you $400 per week (I hope that is enough since we will cater for your feeding. I mean you don't need to buy food from outside). You and the kids will be going for shopping once in 5weeks. We have internet facilities in the house for your use, a private room with your own bathroom. A private car for you in taking the children to and from school provided you know how to drive or willing to learn driving. Getting you a driver's license will not be a problem.

Our interest as a family.
Our interests include the zoo, doing yoga, watching soccer, water skiing, snow skiing, a walk in the park, play dates with friends, arts, literature, traveling, shopping, cinema and taking good care of our children. We love adventure, arts, traveling, soccer, literature, laughter and our wonderful children. My kids are very active wanting a partner to bounce and spin with them. I would want you convince me that you are capable of doing this job to my satisfaction. In a nutshell, we agree to be responsible for the purchase of your plane ticket. I will like to know if you have a working permit and a valid working visa that allow you work legally in Usa? I wait to read back from you soon.

Hi,

I'm Mrs Carmen Jackson, from NY, United States of America. I'm writing you on behalf of the entire family (my husband, our 2 children and I). Here is little about us. With us you find a family where unconditional love, peace and understanding reign. Our family do not like to judge a book by the cover or take gossip to determine who will be around. We always try to stay positive and find the best in anyone or any situation including the worst ones. My profile: I work as a sales manager at a walmart while my husband work as a civil engineer. How old? I'm 35years old of age. Why do we need your service? Due to the nature of my job, am not always around. I'll thereby need your service as a nanny for my kids. We are a social and fun to be with family looking for a enthusiastic aupair who adores children to spend their days enjoying their company. I will appreciate your response to know if you are interested.

Thanks
Carmen

P.SThank you lovely people of this website for opening my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (that is not a scam ). I only know your existence a day but i am grateful! It is really wonderful what you do!!!!!

Everyone at Scamwarners appreciates your comments trinity88.

We don't do what we do for money and our only interest is to thwart scammers and try to protect victims. We are from every part of the world and use our different skills the best way we can. We don't do enough, but do a lot more than you see.

I am sure about that Only the process of identifying scams must require lots of time and attention from you. But generally i think this people are kind of stupid. How do they expect to be passed for genuine if they send pictures of themselves and their children and personal details so easily, without knowing the person? I mean that a genuine family will be very cautious like I am, because an au pair also can turn out to be scam i think!!!! Evil and stupid, the worst combination that exists.

that shit William Louden was also fooled me...his a son of a bitch. I thought it was all truth. I recieved same email and same letter that his sending. Im so thankful that they posted this. that this person is a scamer. Thank God. coz he already send me a last email regarding to contact the UK immigration. Thank you Thank you Thank you. It was a great that they post this scamwarner. So people outhere who want to work as a nanny, make sure that they are a true member of AUPAIR Site and has a profile to see thier background. william Louden is a fake. JUST BE CAREFUL OF HIM.

Hi!
In the last 2 days I received 2 e-mails from a Catherine Russell about an au pair job. This "job" sounds too good to be true.
I actually replied to their initial e-mail and told them some general things about my experience.
In their second e-mail they did not use my name or recognize any of the things I wrote to them (which I find suspicious), and they asked for my full name and a CV. What fraud can such information be used for??
I will not waste my time to check if they would send me a proper reply next time.

Thank you for starting this topic!

Greetings from an honest job seeker.

Welcome to Scamwarners working711.

It isn't your information they're after and they aren't interested in doing anything with it. They ask a lot of questions to attempt to appear more convincing and real, and by making you go to the effort of answering them they feel they have a better chance that you'll pay them the fees when they ask. That's what they're really after.

Thank you for your reply, TerranceBoyce!

It's puzzling that they would expect to get any fees from an unemployed person, instead of offering to pay for her plane ticket to London.
Something is very wrong with their system. They should get a construction job to earn their money. That will teach them some integrity and respect.

I've known them ask someone who has no money for $50 and they suggested he borrow it.

They have no moral limits. I have also known them ask an ill person to send them money rather than pay for their medicine.

Hi All,

It is unbelievable how easy it is to create an email spoofing. The email bellow appeared to has come from [email protected] (a legitimate website), but in fact it has come from a spammer ([email protected]). Be warned!

Could anyone help me to identify the sender (or at least to get an idea of the method used by the sender) of the email below. I have included the email header as described in other posts.
Thanks in advance.

I am Mrs. Catherine Russell married to Engr. Jenkins Russell.
We are British family living and working here in London, UK. My husband is a Chief Engineer
and specializes mainly in working on board assisting a Captain in a Ship.

My family is a lovely one and we are blessed with a daughter, she just turned 3years old
this January. She is my Angel and we have been taking care of her alone.

I am handling the search for an honest person to work for us as my husband recommended
me to do so due to the nature of his job which involves travelling. Also to help us with the upkeep
of our lovely daughter each time we are not at home due to our various job engagements.

I was recommended by a friend at easyaupair and I went through your profile at http://www.easysaupair.com,
I thought it is nice to contact you as I am interested in making you our new Aupair/ Nanny.
I will appreciate you to get back to me if you are interested so that we will get to know each
other to an extent, our culture, family, activities, duties and discuss about the offer.

My daughter is a lively and clever child whom I know will get along well.

My family is indeed a lovely one and we will love you to join us soon or to know when it will
be convenient for you to join us. We promise you it is going to be a memorable and
wonderful time for the family as we have longed for the moment when a
lovely Nanny/ Aupair will come and join us since it is our first time.

Hope to hear from you and you can contact me via this e mail address so that we can discuss about
