Mrs. Sharon Edward - [email protected]

Please help me.
I want to be an au pair, I had a lot of emails from other families and after that I read about you I want to ask some question. I got this e-mail:

toys. We live in a four bedroom detached house in the
Chelsea and Kensignton area of London. Kelly goes to a local school and you are to
drop her at school and get her back from school, a car will be made
available for you if you are willing to drive or learn how to drive, I

for approval; do you have any contact number?

I want to make everything move in a normal and legal way without any
problem because this is our first experience of hosting an Au pair. I
wouldn't want anything that will hurt my daughter and I have promise to
be a good mum to her so that she will grow happily, please all we want
from you is to take good care of her, take her like your sister, your
friend, play with her and teach her some good cultural exchange.

Your accommodation will be a live in the downstairs area that has a 2 bed
room flat with internet access, TV set, Telephone and some other good
things that will make you feel at home because as a mother I know what
is good for people both young and old.
I hope our communication and relationship would be a fruitful one.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Greetings from my Family.


Mrs. Sharon Edward.
For The Family.

I answered them and she asked me a lot of question. Now, we talked that I would go next week. I had to signed up a contract: I found it on this page almost word by word..
She said to me that I have to send a copy to her and her lawyer. Unfortunately, I signed it and sent to her but not to her lawyer. Her lawyer name is Barr. Dale. Barry ([email protected]) .
I don't know what to believe. She didn't say that se wants to skype, but she sent to two pictures about her child and herself. She said that she would call me on my mobile.

Please, tell me what you think about it
Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately, there is absolutely no doubt about it. It is a scam. The writing tells me the person who is in contact with you is African.

There is no job. The "lawyer" is just the scammer, using a new name and pretending to be a lawyer. He is using a free email address that is not connected to any real lawyer.

The photos he sent you are stolen. The scammer simply took them from the internet, likely from a facebook page or photo-sharing album.

Please post the email address this scammer is using.

I just had the same message, unfortunately I didn't know its a scam so I provided with my phone number and my full name. the email they send from is [email protected]

The second email I received it was this:

Don't contact him again Samantha. He won't bother you soon once he knows you will send nothing. Keep him in dark, tell nothing and vanish. Block contact of course.
