Family Description
We are a fun loving British family currently living in New York city but we will be relocating to Southampton, Hampshire soon and we need an aupair/nanny that can take good care of our only child with little or no supervision.
we hope to move to our new home in Lodge Rd, Southampton in 2 weeks as soon as we confirm your commitment to work as the next aupair in my family.
We are looking for someone very friendly who is prepared to be part of our family and look after our child appropriately when we get to Southampton. Your main task will be to care for our adorable Child, Dan who is 5 years old. Occasionally you will do light household work like cleaning and ironing. You will take Dan to and from Kindergarten and also to play dates.
He would be at nursery for 4 mornings per week at least in the beginning but this will be reviewed.
Dan is easy going and only grumpy when tired. At the same time he needs a lot of attention. Although most of the time he is calm but he can be tricky and he always needs someone to say no whenever he's wrong.
Dan will be going to Kindy 4 days a week from 8.45am to 1pm and some days you will need to pick him up or drop his off. We will know my roster about 1-2 weeks in advance so we can plan ahead. The only light housework you will be expected to do is vacuuming dining/lounge/hallway/Dan's room once a week and clean the bathroom once a fortnight and i will do it the other week. You would need to tidy up after making yourself or Dan a snack and if I cook dinner which seems to be most nights then you would do the dishes. I'd be totally happy if you want to share the cooking and obviously I would do the dishes if you cook dinner.
You would be working approximately 40 hours a week from Monday to Friday with weekends off and we hope to pay £12 hourly plus bus ticket worth £67 weekly and we will also provide you with a mobile phone with some inclusive minutes each month and the rest would be your responsibility. We also hope to provide you access to our cars if you have driving experience but not all the time.
We have already secured a home in Lodge Road, Southampton and all other living arrangement are also intact at the moment and we hope to arrive in Southampton at any date from now.
Your duties which we expect you to discharge perfectly are Getting Dan out of bed for a 10 minutes morning exercise by 8am. Getting Dan dressed in the morning. Supervising his breakfast and lunch plus morning and afternoon snacks. Playing with him (age appropriate) to insure at least 60 minutes of exercise (can be split throughout the day). Doing education, crafts& activities with him (age appropriate). Ensuring his optimal health and safety during your care. Keeping his room clean and organized. Doing laundry if necessary. Taking him to and from school and activities. Supervising play dates.
Do inform us in case you have any objections to this duties and suggesting what we can do about it.
I have not scan my pictures but i will try to do that soon and send them to you and i will like to know your exact arrival date.
Before we proceed further we will still like you to answer these few questions.
1) What is your nationality?
2) How old are you?
3) Have you ever traveled outside your home country before?
4) Have you much experience working with kid’s?
5) Do you smoke?
6) Do you drink?
7) Do you have brothers and sisters?
8) Do you Drive
9) Do you mind doing light cooking?
10) Can you help with shopping?
11) Can you help with housework

I am so worried because they have my number phone and I don't know if the can do something with that.

I anwered to some questions about the child and education....I thought it was normal, but I sensed something odd....

Ohhhh....Soooo bad. I was really excited!!!

Hello SUOMIRA

If the only details that you have divulged are very basic, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers, there is nothing to worry about,. The Scammer will be trying his scheme with so many people you will soon become forgotten about unless you continue to write to him.
by SUOMIRA Tue Oct 22, 2013 6:47 am
Thanks!!

I am so sad because I thought it was true......I guess they will want money in advance. In my case, they are going to look for a flat for me.

In this moment, it was when I thought it was algo odd.

Thanks again !!!

I was contacted by this "family" as well. First with the [email protected] email address, and then they changed it to [email protected]

So watch out. They've already told me I have to pay in advance for the flat blah blah.

So, I answer them:

”Dear family
Thanks for your message. All the answers to the questions in the email are in my profile. I am puzzled that you asked because they are already in my profile.
Also, I might do all this, to take care and be careful at your boy, cook and clean up, but all of them starting in June 2014, not January 2014.
I work and only then I will be taking leave.

Thank you for your attention and I hope with all my heart to find someone suitable to your requirements.

Best wishes,
Ram”

they said:

”We are perfectly okay with your start date and we don't have any problem with that since you have make it known early enough.
We are satisfied with your response and i definitely believe you will be a good companion for our kid. Our main priority is for you to be a friendly and kid loving person and with all i have read of you so far i believe you are.
I will like you to confirm the arrival date better and let me know of that in due time so that i can also plan our schedule ahead to pick you up at the airport when you arrived. Mind you try and choose a weekend arrival so that i can be well available to give you every support necessary.
Once again we hope to pay £12 hourly and for 40 hours weekly will be 480 pounds weekly plus bus ticket worth £67 weekly.
I have decided to offer you a very high salary to enable you pay rent and municipal charges and also have some saving while you work with us because we are offering a live out aupair job as we don't have provision for a live-in accommodation. We can also help you search a shared accommodation through the same estate caretaker that secured our new home and get back to you. So do confirm if a shared flat will be fine for you so that we can ask for its availability from the estate caretaker immediately.
As for your stay duration we hope to sign a 3 months contract with you for a start and extend the contract if we are satisfied with your services and if you are also willing to continue working with our family but it is okay if you wish to sign less duration agreement.
Waiting to read from you.”


It really scared me.
So I searched on the site aupair their data and I have not found, no family or town.
I searched the net from the data left by her message and came here to you, it was exactly as I suspected, scam.
