Based on the fact that travel agents can't arrange visas for you (you need to do it in person at the British consulate in your country), yes it is a scam

Another giveaway is the use of a +44 70 telephone number. These are numbers that can be redirected anywhere in the world. Legitimate businesses have no need for them.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

hi guys, i got that same exact email and before that i was contacted by my "host family" which is hilarious as he has loads of grammar and spelling mistakes...

this is his letter:

Thanks for the response, i am looking for an aupair that will take care of my kids with an open heart, who will look after the kids just like their own family cause they mean so much to me, me and their mom got divorce last 6 months due to the fact that she was always busy with are duties because she was a lawyer and never had time for the kids but now she comes home to take the kids out on weekends and bring them back on Monday, she only has the weekend to be with the kids cause that was what the court ordered when she can be with the kids, i am very happy that the kids are not complaining about it, we live in Mancherster City in UK.

Now that i have returned back to full duties which will keep me late somethings, i think that you will be the one to take care of them as their aupair or nanny, Jany is 4 while Terry is 2 and they get along with peoples easy which will make it easy for you to know them and be comfortable with my family at home, some of the things that my kids love, is going to shopping with me and playing with other kids in the field, games like hide and seek,soccer and other ones that they know and will you like to play with you? but since i will not be around with them at all times you will be the one to take them to the them to shopping to get some things for home and for the kids and yourself too and we do travel to Finland for our family reunion where the kids get to meet their grandparent and other family member too, you can either choose to come with us or stay at home or choose that month to be your vacation period cause you know that you will have a vacation for rest.

Your duties will be looking after the kids, taking them to school and bring them back from school and if you know how to drive you can be using the car in the garage to take them out and other place that you feel like going, you will be working about 9hours a day from 7:30am to 5:30pm and anything that you work over your time period you will be paid overtime.I will be paying you 1600 pounds a month and a pocket money of 100 pounds every week for yourself,since you will be staying with us you will have a room of your own with TV, computer with internet connection,with your own private bathroom and toilet for your private use, your friend are allow to visit you during visiting hours. I believe that with the way you sound and how interested you want to work with my family, will work out things just fine between us and you, i will like to know if you have a Valid Visa and working permit to stay in the UNITED KINGDOM? if no, there is an AGENCY that can help you with the Visa and working permit and other documents that is needed for you to get here.Things change every time in UK when is come to getting a valid documents but i believe that the agency can tell you more and how to get it with a very reasonable cost and quick too,also note that i will pay for your flight ticket while you pay for the processing of your visa and work permit.

Contact them via email and ask them how to get the documents and inform them that you are from Mr Fred Cooper family which they will know that you are from me, as soon as you hear from them get back to when you hear from them,I Will be expecting you reply about any other thing you may wish to know and also some little information about yourself which you want to share with me.See details below:

to which i've responded xD:

Dear Mr. Fred

I am so happy that you've accepted me into your family.. have made the payment and sent all my info to wta so that the visa processing could start right away xD

would you be so kind to send me more info about your daughters? Id love to know them before I get there.

oh, and another thing, id also like you to know that im an educated person, remember im a teacher, therefore ive spent years and years in a university getting my education, im also part of a university based family, both my parents and all my siblings have university degrees, so it is quite obvious that you are a very ignorant idiot to even think that a person with my education would even hesitate to a ridiculous offer like this, I mean it would of been more credible if you AT LEAST knew how to speak English, you, as an "engineer" that you say you are,wouldnt have the grammar mistakes you had in your emails, Im sorry, an educated person does not, youre obviously not educated xD, itS sad that you chose TO rob people in the lowest most ignorant way instead of having chose a university career. its sad "mr. fred" and if you really have children which i hope a person like you doesnt... they will grow up to be very sad and twisted children... its so sad.

anyway, twas fun, hope you enjoy your job, I love scammers, you guys are so funny and entertain me sometimes, specially with stupid ideas like these, cant wait for a new, original internet scam to play with, oh and by the way, i have emailed your email addresses to a anti-scam detective company, so you will be investigated... sorry ...

but you've been BUSTED! do you even know what that means??? xD


ciao xx

HOPE YOU DONT FALL FOR THIS AND REMEMBER NO AGENCY CAN PROVIDE VISAS NO NO ONE!!! LOTSA LOVE XX

ME :laugh-s:

I have been baiting this particular person for about three weeks now. The e-mail in use this time is [email protected], though. Also, the host family's e-mail is [email protected]. He sent a very nice looking American family and a lot of photos taken off a realty website (you could tell because it was staged).

Yes klynki, the other posters' replies are correct because it is a scam.
re:Phone Number: +44-7011137080 has been mentioned in scams before.
For an example, you will see the same phone number written here- http://www.419scam.org/emails/2008-12/1 ... 511.34.htm

The same phone number can be seen here also, http://allyachtjobs.com/index.php?post_id=594

...And the same fraudulant individual is also advertising here, http://crewjobs.com/jobs/United%20Kingd ... 765-386760
