by ire87 Wed Apr 10, 2013 4:30 am
Hello!this time I've been contacted from him or her directly on Facebook, he told me that he found my profile on easyaupair.com and then on Facebook, but how can this thing be possilbe?!I've looked and on easyaupair, I've written only "Irene", without the surname,my email for FB is different from the one I use on that website...?!? :?
In any case he wrote me:
Dear IRENE

Firstly i will love to express my interest you and i want to let you know that i want you to be employed as my Au-pair, My name is Joe Anderson and i currently reside here in London with my family. I will truly need your services here as an Au-pair for my kids and will be very glad for us to know each other better first.I found your profile from www.easyaupair.com and i will be so happy to have you as my Au- pair here in the UK. the family will take care of everything concerning your flight and travel expenses. I will also love to have a Skype conversation with you as that is very important to me and the family you can write me through my email [email protected].

The writing is that of a West African, not a Londoner, and shows an additional trait found in scam scripts.

Hello ire. Yes it is a scammer. I would agree the script is not of someone from the UK.

re: Why he tell me that his or her name is Joe and after he-she sign like Paul?!I Perhaps the scammer had a long day and became tired? Maybe the scammer forgot who he was pretending to be this week? Could be he doesn't know what his name is?
re: i disabled my account after i found you on Facebook which i believe is a more free environment dear Another scam approach whereby they delete accounts/profiles quickly after making contact with a potential target.
You would be well served by simply severing all contact with the tosspot trickster. Please do not confront the scammer, is better if you cease all contact with immediate effect.

PM sent. We don't explain the traits of lad English publicly, lest they improve it.

Thank you very much!to explainn how he find me on FB he told me: " i cant search only irene it will show only pages not , people okay, for facebook to show results for people it has to be a surname and middle name okay....for you to search for one on facebook it has to be surname and another name okay, if i search only irene i will not see peolple i will only see pages okay. i saw your names which i used in getting you on facebook", it doesn't make sense to me! :? ah,moreover he told me also that

Irene, did you click "like" for the FB page of the Au Pair Website you belong to?
by jolly_roger Mon Apr 15, 2013 8:15 am
As tazmanian indicated, perhaps that is what happened maybe :?:
Not really familiar with fb but I would assume doing a search of only someones christian name would be too broader range on which to look? Is like you walking into a building where 1000 people work and you say to the receptionist "I want to speak with John" There would be dozens of people with that name. Which one of them? (If that makes sense?) The scammer has seen your name from somewhere which is why you were targetted.

West African writing again, and the salary is out of range. Could you post the pictures, fakemarked? http://scamwarners.com is a good place for scam pictures.
