Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

I was so close to losing money to some bogus travel agency...
This was after a fake family (Mr. Nathan Lalich and family) asked me to travel to the UK to look after their twins...

We wish to inform you that your Host Family "Mr Nathan Lalich and Family"on Today sent us the sum of £400 courtesy of his Business Associate "Mrs Shane Innes" which she indicated that you will pay the balance sum of £450. Do note that a United Kingdom Visa Form which you are to Print, Fill, Scan and Resend to us will be forwarded to you after we receive your Payment. Furthermore, we urge you to send your payment so we may proceed in processing your Visa, Work Permit and other Backing Document(s).

We like to inform you that the £850 (12 Months) has been included with the Flight Ticket (British Airways) and the entire necessary Document(s) needed for the Visa and Work Permit and also the National Insurance, so we like you to send the payment via Money Gram or Western Union Money Transfer. All payment should be sent to our C.E.O. with this information below:

Eastern Groups Department:

Kirk Bolton
15 Bethnal Green Road
London
E2 7DG
United Kingdom.

As previously informed, After payment, kindly send us the scan copy of the Western Union Money Transfer Invoice (Receipt) so that we can proceed in processing your Visa and other Backing Document(s). All necessary Document(s) including your Flight Ticket will be posted to you within seven(7) working days.

Thanks to this site I learnt the truth after googling the numbers posted in the travel agency website...

Guys please be careful...

Hello Au Pair/Nanny,

I hope my mail meets you in a good state of health... I am Mr Nathan Lalich, from United Kingdom and i have 6yrs old twins, Jones & Jessica. I am in search of Au pair/nanny because i hardly have the time for my lovely Kids and right now my wife is no longer alive. I will provide my home address and contact number on request. I got your profile from www.easyaupair.com.

You will undertake nursery duties relating to the children only. This means providing care such as bathing, dressing and preparing nutritious meals.. 2. Care for and stimulate the child both mentally and physically, to ensure their intellectual, physical & social development. 3. You will provide activities such as creative arts and crafts, construction play, singing, reading and other various learning opportunities. 4. You are expected to wash, iron and organize the children's clothes and belongings. also ensure that toys are clean and safe, organized and tidied away, and the play area kept clean and tidy.

You will have your Private Room which would consist Air-Conditional, Television, Internet Access and a Telephone to always keep you in touch with your friends, families and probably relatives, a Bathroom and Toilet. You will have Saturdays and Sundays as your off days, so to enable you have enough time for yourself.

As for your salary, I will be willing to pay you 1,200 Pounds every 4 weeks and a pocket fee of 300 Pounds weekly which I suppose should be enough for your primary needs and as regard to my family pictures, as for me and my kids photograph i will have to scan and them get send to you.

Warmest regards,
Mr Nathan Lalich.

Thanks for your reply and appreciating the photos i sent to you and am okay with the walking with a limp since you can still work perfectly you have nothing to worry about then.

I am so excited going through the Travel Agency response and i want to believe by now you I'll have submit the necessary details required from you.

So, I will advise that you go ahead and make the payment because that's all they are waiting for now before they can proceed with the processing of your traveling documents and keep me posted once you are done with the payment so i will keep close contact with them and they will begin with the processing of your documents immediately after your payment.

Jones and Jessica are excited right now and i can't imagine you already in our family, I think we are be great family and much fun. Anyway bye for now and take good care of yourself.

Warmest Regards
Mr Nathan Lalich & Family.

Thanks, sistabee :D Hopefully, by posting the emails etc you will have saved others from this criminal.

The (mis) use of English is so typically African - & certainly not from someone who lives in the UK. ;)
