It's a scam.

The language is definitely African, but I didn't need to look at that anyway. Phone numbers that start with 44-70 are redirect phone numbers that can be forwarded to phones all over the world. These numbers are used by scammers who are pretending to be in UK when they are really in Africa or Malaysia. As soon as you see a number with 44-70, you can be certain that you are dealing with a scammer.

This is me again.

This man Richmond Roberts also sent me a contract.
The contract says:

You can find instructions for posting photos in my signature. Just click on that link.

There is absolutely no doubt that this is a scam. There is no real barrister involved, and the contract is meaningless, because there is no job.

The scammer copied a real law firm's address off the internet, but replaced the phone number. The real law firm's number is 020 74302323. Again, notice ALL of the phone numbers you were given are 4470 numbers--it doesn't matter where the scammer puts parenthesis, it's the first 4 or 5 numbers that matter, and if they are 4470 or 44070, then it is a guaranteed scam. As I said before, the phone numbers are redirect numbers--you call the phone number, thinking you are calling someone in UK, but in reality your call is being forwarded to a phone in Africa or Malaysia.

The photos are of a real family, but the scammer just copied them off the internet--probably from someone's facebook or myspace page. You can't find the travel agency because it doesn't exist. It is most likely the scammer himself who is also playing the travel agent, though it could be an accomplice who is sharing the money they steal. All the scammer wants is your cash.

UK only allows au pair visas for people from certain countries. Philippines is not one of them--residents cannot hire a new au pair from Philippines. Residents of Philippines CANNOT get au pair visas, unless they were working for the family a year before the family moved to UK! What this means is, every au pair offer in UK is going to be a scam.
