Total scam.

The writing tells me the author is African. Like many African scammers, he also has some serious problems with basic mathematics.

I agree it's fake the writing is not of a person from London

I agree it's fake the writing is not of a person from London

Especially not of a person living in London who has a Ph.d

Thanks to all for your information- I was shure it will be another fake.
Hope no aupair will get cheated from these people!

Hi there I also received an offer similar to this. They are not asking for any money from me. Everything will be free of charge. It goes like this he's name is Mr.Miles Brown and he need an Au pair to take care of his son Peter. The offer given to me is 2000 GBP and additional 300 GBP per month. They even send me a contract that I need to sign and send back to her lawyer kate morrison. How can we ask help from this site ?

I think you will find, it is not free of charge. The contract is nonsense, just a prop to make you feel like this is a real offer. Soon, the lawyer will explain that you have to pay some fees, which will be refunded to you later, by this employer. Real lawyers have law offices a particular address, not "in the cloud". You can agree to the contract just to see how the scam unfolds - just don't send anybody any money.

There is absolutely no doubt.

It is a scam.

Real attorneys do not use yahoo addresses for business. They have real addresses at real law firms.
But, more importantly, the pay is way too high. An au pair does not earn even half that much.

It is also important to realize that UK only allows au pairs from certain countries, and if you do not live in one of those countries, you cannot work in UK as an au pair.

A nanny/au pair doesn't need to be OFSTED registered but if a UK citizen uses a nanny/au pair who isn't registered with them, they'll miss out on over a £1,000 of government benefits.

Without OFSTED registration the employer doesn't know whether or not you have any qualifications to look after children, or whether or not you have any prosecutions. In the West childcare is very closely regulated and hiring a stranger off the internet isn't going to happen, and certainly a doctor is never going to do it, and they'll be very well aware of OFSTED and their requirements.

I don't want to give the internet link to the rules or explain the regulations otherwise it makes it too easy for the scammers to invent a whole new pack of lies, but if you're offered an aupair/nanny job in the UK, whatever country you come from, and the person offering the job does not cover OFSTED requirements, you can be sure that it's a scam.

It seems to be a scam. Best to go through an agency. Scammers lure you in with and then 'fleece' you.

There are even companies in the UK targeting people from abroad, offering courses and jobs but they look highly suspect to me. There's a lot of fraud in this area, It's important that you make sure you know the facts about what you need to get a job before you sign up for anything because you risk being told a pack of lies just so that people can get their hands on your money. I didn't realise fully how complex and how highly regulated it is in the UK myself.

Make sure you check out any agency before you pay out any money.
