From the very beginning this struck as VERY odd. I KNOW this HAS to be a scam so i am warnig others who may not look too closely.

I received this email and the deliverer's name was "Dee Dee" then this...

Hello and good day,
I am Mr Heskey Herick from California USA. am 49 years old. I have long been searching for an aupair, I found your profile on new aupair website,i like the fact that you are a foreigner,i have a mixed background so i accept any race tribe religion,and so i decided to send you this email so as to make you know that i am interested in you working for me as my nanny/aupair .My Daughter who is five is just a distraction as i am very busy man. this implies that striking the balance between my child care,up bring and my personal life and job is been very difficult,to this effect i urgently need the help of a nanny/aupair. am a single parent, so i need someone like you to take good care of her..I will pay you $2,100 monthly. i will like to know this few things about you. don't worry about the questions,i only just want to know,regardless of the question i think you are my sure bet.
Have you any experience working with kid’s ?
whats highest schooling qualification ?
Do you smoke ?
Can you help with housework ?
Do you like pets ?
Do you have a driving license ?
What are your interests ?
How many children would you feel comfortable with ?
How would you discipline a child playing and with reasons?
please do note that you and i will take care of everything concerning your travel document procurement if you will work for me. this is so because i have been scammed so many times and so i have learnt my lessons.
I will be waiting for your sincere reply.
Regards,
Mr Heskey Snipes



Note that his name changes from the top, to the bottom. It goes form "dee Dee" as the delivere to Heskey Herick and then to Heskey Snipes. Very dodgy. So just a warning to those out there.
