Welcome to Scamwarners rua_rung_rinh.

There isn't any doubt that this person is a scammer and only wants to steal your money.

His story is ridiculous and very obviously written in a style of English used by scammers who originate from Africa.

He has so many facts wrong, it's difficult to list them all but to begin with a non-EU citizen CANNOT get a visa to work as an au pair I'm sorry to inform you. He is lying to you. Also you must apply for a visa in your own country and cannot do it by e-mail over the internet.

Any money you pay this person will go straight into his pocket and he will not get you a job. He is a scammer and thief.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle

Well, look, I don´t know if it is fake or now, i really have the doubt. Becuz I received emails from natanfamily04 and I was so fool..... and with this guy, he answer about what I send to him, not like the others (natanfamily was like if he didnt read my email), but he didn´t answer again. I think we have to see if we receive the same contract letter and send it to a fake email adrees, for example, I´m from argentina but i have italian citizen so I KNOW that i dont need a visa, and UK office asking for money by westen union? I dont think so.
but i was very fool at the begin.
