is it scam???????????
Dear Au pair,
we are looking for someone loving and energetic to look after our lovely 5 Years old son Micheal and our pretty 3 years old baby girl Muna. Ideally the person would start as soon as possible, although we are prepared to wait for the right person. You will be required to look after both of them along with my wife during the day (Monday to Friday) whilst I am at work, with additional babysitting once or twice a week in the evenings or at the weekends. Additionally, we would really like it if you could help out with some light housework like vacuuming, doing laundry, etc. And preference will be given to those who love cooking as well! My wife, Clara is currently 2 months pregnant with our third child so as much help and assistance around the house would be excellent. The most important thing is that you must love kids, and be happy to help out around the house. We would like you to enjoy spending time with Michael and Muna, and take very good care of them. they are a very happy, friendly, cute kids, they really love to be taken out of the house to playgroups, swimming in our pool, going to the swings or beach, meeting friends, etc. They will grow to love you very much. Ideally we would like you to become like one of our family. In return we can offer you a very competitive monthly salary of 2500GBP and a weekly allowance of 300GBP for a live-in position (in our 5 bedroom detached villa, London, UK) You will have your own double bedroom with en-suite ,television, DVD player, Wi-Fi internet access and radio. We can also give you access to our car if necessary. Alternatively, we are happy to offer the right person a live-out position. If this was the case you must be available to work between 7.30am – 5pm Monday to Friday. We are a very flexible, young and easy-going couple, and want you to be happy with us. Travel costs will be covered by us. So do reply as soon as this mail comes to you, with when you will like to start up duties, and resume/pictures. Warm regards,Michael Euban

From a UK government website

https://www.gov.uk/au-pairs-employment-law

Au pairs usually live with the family they work for, are unlikely to be classed as a worker or an employee and aren’t entitled to the National Minimum Wage.
They’re treated as a member of the family they live with and get ‘pocket money’ instead - usually about £70 to £85 a week.


Your scammer offers

In return we can offer you a very competitive monthly salary of 2500GBP and a weekly allowance of 300GBP


That's equivalent to an annual salary of £44,400 which is an absolutely incredible amount of money and doesn't include the value of the provision of a car that is offered, perhaps valued as much as £5,000.

The problem is that there are so many scammers offering fake jobs that they are competing against each other, making offers that are utterly ridiculous. This is one.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
