Hi danara,

I see you have repeated your question, I'll repeat my answer

I'm pretty sure they are scammers. The email addy's sound very familiar, and the [email protected] is a fake site, which I'll try to get closed down. The mails they sent to you don't sound like someone with english as a native language, and the postal adress they provide returns in other scam schemes. Stay away from these people.

You could help me getting that site down. Please provide me the headers and the mails coming from [email protected]. I will need those for evidence. I'll post below how to retrieve headers in hotmail/yahoo/gmail, if you use a different provider and are unsure on how to find headers, tell me which one and I'll guide you

How to retrieve headers in hotmail/yahoo:

When looking in the inbox, right click the mail you want the headers of (Don't open the mail). One of the options that appears is 'View original' or 'Show source' or 'View full headers' (or something similar). Click that, and a popup will appear with the full headers. It's a bunch of letters and numbers which look weird, but they contain info that I need to get it closed.

How to retrieve headers in gmail:

When you opened the message, you will see a small downward facing triangle next to the 'reply' button. When clicking that some options will appear, and one of them will be 'View original' or 'Show source' or 'View full headers' (or something similar). Click it, and the headers will appear in a popup.

Copy the whole thing, and post it here/PM it to me/ mail it to me.

If you are posting it here, be sure to check the headers as your email adress will be visible. You can edit your adress like this: [email protected] ==> [email protected]


Hope this helps

I'm glad you found us and prevented yourself from being scammed, well done!

thx very much! [email protected] this e-mail gave me mirason George ([email protected])
sorry for disturbing you but it is very important for me!

To repeat what Michael has already told you - worldstravelagency.com is a website that has not been completed yet and that is a very strong clue that it has been set up by a scammer, and that any e-mail you receive using the worldstravelagency.com mail address, or that refers to it, is also from a scammer.

In my opinion, I have no doubt that the mails you have received from [email protected] are from a scammer. It is very likely that they are all being sent by the same person who wants to steal money from you.

Never, ever pay money to anyone who offers you a job. The only circumstance where you will have to pay money is if you require a visa, but you can only apply and pay for that by visiting a UK Consulate or Visa Application Centre in person in your own country.

A travel agent cannot arrange a visa for you, and any that say they can, are liars and scammers.

Thx very much!))))) I see! but could you check this site http://aupaircircle.com/ because i have registrated here and lots of scammers mail me now.
yesterday i got a message from [email protected] once again
Brown Family sent you a new message: Subject: Aupair "Hello Dear, Good day to you and your family i hope this mail reaches you in a good and covenient mood...I will like to introduce my self before i proceed further,am Mr Scott Brown From United Kingdom,40 years old,am a Psychologist,I Have a lovely daughter(Linda) whom I cherish and adore so much and we Live Happily together,am a single father and i Live Happily with my daughter..We live in a semi detach duplex in Liverpool, an outskirt of England....I Love going to places far or near and also i love meeting people,I am a man of substance and also i am a catholic Christian and I practice it...I Lost my wife few years back when she was in Labour of our second child,It really hurts though but I Just have to forget it the more i think of it the more it hurts Me.Well my main reason for contacting you is to inform you that i will be needing your service as my aupair for my two lovely kids here in the UK....As i told you earlier i am a busy man and i am not chanced enough to care for Linda,as i told you she is the only hope i have got in Life so she deserve special attention and treatment..She means everything to me,Its not easy being a single father but I promised my wife never to get married to any other woman and she promised me the same as well.I will be glad if you can be the aupair for my little daughter,I promise to take good care of you and cater for all your needs.you will have your own private room and toilet,A personal Laptop with internet connection so you can coonect to your loved ones abroad,you will have your own Private car and also you will attend and English class during the week so you can boost your English Ability...I want you to know that I will be paying you 1550 Pounds every month this will include for your clothings and all other accessories you shall need,and also you are entitled to 120 Pounds weekly allowance..Your duty is to care for Linda while am off to work i dont think i need to explain all this for you because I believe you are not new to this,but you shall be doing some light house Jobs Lkike cooking and Laundrh at times but this is not compulsory but its a bit neccessary..

Do you Have any Previous Experience? Do you Have your Own Kid(s)? I will be waiting for your interesting response as soon as Possible you can call me on [email protected]"

Yes, that is a scam mail too. It has not been written by someone who lives in the UK. You will also notice that the telephone number begins +4470 - any telephone number that begins with +4470 is not a normal UK telephone number, but a redirect number, which redirects all calls to the scammer's phone anywhere in the world. This scammer writes like a West African person, but it you post the header information for this email, we may be able to tell you exactly which country the email has been sent from.

The aupaircircle website is a new website, which has only be registered for one year. The registrant's address is California 90210 - Beverly Hills, the home to many Hollywood celebrities and other wealthy people. I'm not American, however, so I don't know whether or not it would be likely that a Beverly Hills resident would run this type of contact service for au pairs.

I would suggest, however, that if this website is frequented by scammers, then it would be best to look elsewhere for an au pair position. It would probably be safest to contact an au pair agency in your own country, preferably one which you can visit in person.

Ideally, you would be looking for an agency with is a member of the International Au Pair Agencies Association (IAPA) or (if you are hoping to come to the UK) the British Au Pair Agencies Association (BAPAA), because, if you choose to use one of these, there will be certain safeguards in place already.

wow))) I am so glad to find your site)) Thx very very much!!!

I am not a UK immigration or visa expert, but I know a lot more than the scammers who have been contacting you.

If you are not an EU citizen then it is going to be hard for you to obtain a visa to work in the UK as an au pair. That is how the rules are. A scammer won't change that fact because he is only interested in stealing your money.

My concern is that unless you follow Chris Fuller's advice, you will only ever receive replies from scammers.

Yes, this is a scam too. If you can post the headers of the email, we can have a look at them and maybe we can find out where the scammer lives. If you don't know how to get the headers, just ask.

how to do it?

There are certain specific requirements that are not mentioned in that mail, that the host would have to know, or you would not even qualify for an au pair visa for the USA.

Working as an au pair is quite a responsible job and is no longr the sort of employment that you can informally arrange over the internet. Even as a UK citizen I cannot work, or be an unpaid volunteer with children in the UK without undergoing in depth background and police checks.

What Chris Fuller stated earlier in this thread will help you to understand what will be expected of you if you want to be employed as an au pair, and enable you to avoid scammers.
