Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Tue Mar 11, 2014 1:09 am
This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. If you are looking for an au pair position in the USA, please read these US Government webpages about the US Au Pair Program:

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family.

The travel agency is also fake, and is part of the scam. The following email sent by the fake travel agent was not sent from the USA; it was sent from Nigeria, as proven by the IP address: 41.190.3.23 - Lagos, Nigeria.
