Hi Dear Carolin

I am glad to hear from you and hope you are doing great today?

You don't have to visit your embassy our family lawyer will help you get all the document you need to come over to UK all you need to is to follow my instructions and we will also pay for your airplane ticket/fares but you have to start processing you papers to avoid delay'

Actually, I have gone through your Introduction with my family,I have also discussed with my wife.

We have fully accepted to have you, We are excited that you have interest in taking care of kids, this makes us feel more comfortable accepting you. We hope this is the right choice we have made and we will do our best.

I want to briefly enlighten you on our culture at home. Here, our culture is not
quite different from yours except your native language. Benjamin is a clever child and can easily learn. He also loves music and the company of a caring friend.
You can teach him a lot and we also we will reciprocate. He could also easily get used to you on continuous relationship with him. But I have to be sincere here, my son loves asking questions mostly when he is curious about something.

You can have a Live-In accommodation in our home if you wish, we have already
equipped your room which is situated close to Benjamin's room with every internet
services. So, you won't have any difficulty with internet, TV or any electrical appliances. But if you prefer a live-out, that will not be a problem, then we have to discuss about it.

Since we have already taken you as part of our peaceful family,

I have some questions for you and your friend which I require to get answers soon.

1) Do you have any sickness or illness that may require regular medical attention?

2)Is any member of your family aware of your interest to work for us?

3) Do you smoke at home or drink too much?

4) For what period of time will you be available to work with us?

Your photos are cute and Benjamin seem to love it so much.

Have a nice time and hope to hear from you soon.

Regards from my family.

Mr. Jonah Wells.




Be careful ppl, Caro :roll:

I hope he sent you this impressive application form

The address happens to be the childhood home of the UK pop star Jessie J., and if you were to live in the attic you'd better have night vision glasses because there are no windows in the roof.

The redirect phone numbers and e-mail of the 'lawyer' quoted in that document are

Barr. Fisher meredith Esq
Tel: (+44) 7031950924
Fax: (+44) 702409253
Email: [email protected]


It appears that the pay rate has gone down since he wrote that form as it was originally £2,500 monthly, but scammers are utterly clueless about most things, and this one more than most.

from that I can see that he's advertised here

Bizarrely the fax number he quotes is of the Philippine Embassy in London and leads to a warning page

Beware of emailed job offers for childcare and other similar positions in the UK. These are all frauds.

• Since November 2008, no visas are granted for household workers from outside Europe. Work visas are only granted for highly-skilled positions, most of which require university degrees.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK requires you to pay them any money. All fees would be paid by the employer.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK uses a free email address from Yahoo, Gmail, or similar services.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK uses a telephone number that begins with +4470 (070). These are non-geographic numbers available to anyone in the world.

• No legitimate business requests payment via Western Union.

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

WOW ! Thanks for all those information. Glad I found this page. I couldn't find a lot on German pages.
Those fake ppl are so annoying. All I want is finding a family >.<

If you are located in Germany blubb05, and an EU resident, there are no restrictions on where you can work, and you don't need a visa either or a work permit to work in the UK.
