Hello Aupair
I am Mr Jason Atkins from London, United Kingdom, I am a
Chemical Engineer and my wife Mary Atkins is a Consultant, we have two kids Daniel 4
years and Bill 2 years, we have a very busy family and we do alot of traveling due to
the nature of our job and my wife on the other hand closes late at work, we need a
trustworthy and friendly person to take care of our kids in our absence. we need
you to take the kids to school and bring them back home,, our kids also like
picnics and like to have fun ,so you will be a full part of the family and have to take
them to movies and picnic once a while, our kids really liked their last aupair
because she was friendly and very happy with them and she took proper care of them.we will be expecting your mail
to know if you have a Working Visa to work legally in UK and if you can drive to
know if you will make use of our spare car but if not that is not a problem, we
would get a driver for you. we will also like to know when you will be available to
come over and the duration you can spend with my family. we will be paying you
2,100 GBPounds every 4 weeks and a pocket fee of 250 GBPounds weekly
we have two extra rooms in our house if you will like to use that in our house,
and also we also have a spare car for you and a driver and if you will like a smaller one that wont be a problem at all.
we hope to hear from you soon.I will like to know the country you are from and have you done at Aupair work before?
email me directly on [email protected]
Best Regard
Jason Atkins Family cares


I think its almost pointless to ask if its scam or not, cause receiving 2,100 gbpounds every 4 weeks is almost unimaginable. if its not scam Im going to apply for that job strightaway

As you already noted, the pay is ridiculously high. And don't forget the spare car and driver!

As you said, no question this one is a scam. Interestingly, the IP is an AOL IP--perhaps he is sending from an AOL account and spoofing the "from" address.
