Based on what you have posted so far, I'm very suspicious its a scam. Can you please post the email address they use and any other identifiable information so that we can get a better idea. Did they get your details from somewhere?

It's a scam, absolutely no doubt about it. I've seen certain lines in this particular script dozens of times. Here is one of many examples. http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=55161#p55161

The English also has very typical West African mistakes, and the pay is more than double what an au pair would normally make (assuming this is supposed to be a US job since the pay is in $).

Then the email is [email protected] and she has a Facebook profile under the name of Olivia Fraser. Can you tell me more?

Didn't need the email after all, but your posting it will help to avoid others getting scammed.

As Dotti says, the text they have used can be found in scams going back over five years. I've found numerous posts on many web sites.

Its a certain 100% scam. I suggest you cease any further contact with them.
