It’s seems tempting but IT’s A SCAM - It’s not true. It happened to few people that I know but were to ashame to admit it publicly. It’s prevalent when you join au pair matching sites these scammers opens a profile as a family and try to contact desperate applicants. First they will contact you and promise you a very tempting impossible salary but later on they will extort you an ask you to send money.
Be wary especially if they say that they live in United Kingdom it is absolutely false because as of November 27 2008 the Au Pair Scheme together with other temporary working visa/permit is closed they are NOT accepting AU PAIR
check their website

This also applies to agency or any other agent who offer you au pair job in the UK.
Tags: scammers, stop aupair in UK
Thank you for this blog. I am really informed. I am also a victim which is being ask to send money to my name. I was also offered a nice job that is too good to be true, sending me the contract and everything telling me to work soon and even scheduling my flight. A great awakening for me.
There’s alot of scammers in the net and of course we in the Philippines are vulnerable because we don’t have any information about au pair. So we need to search before committing especially if they ask money. But not only scammer form the net we have to watch out but also our kababayan who try to extort money. There’s a lot of cases where they ask 100,00 pesos just for the application form but the form is free so the lesson is money cannot help you but knowledge or right information can.
I got this email too 6 weeks in my spam box. I was very surprised coz I really dunno this person who seemed to be very true with full datas but different name as above. It was ” really a very tempting letter ” that i send it to my sister and niece in the Philippines. But they all decline for other reasons. Thank God indeed. But through the course of the weeks after discussing its strangeness with my husband who immediately said that ” how can you believe in that ?”. That’s money making or swindling these young girls to believe and even leading them to prostitution.
Lets beware with this high class notice of swindling the lives of young girls. Watch-out Philippines. Get right info. Uk is full of these malpractises from appliances or gadgets at bottom prices. It is very sad if our own kababayan exploit us. Double check any of these practices like when we go to a doctor ask for a second, third opinion. Go to embassies for more credible info.
it is true that there are a lot of scammer from uk,looking for an aupair with a very good salary offer and easy work duties one of the famous scammer’s name is adrian eirik from the site http://www.findaupair.com.
eirik contacted me and and give a lot of info about his family,duties,good salary and so much more seems really true,as i knew there is no aupair in uk so i just go on showing some interest too until at the end he send me a contract but ofcourse i am aware of scammer because i myself been scammed in one site site http://www.tagged.com thats why i dont believe so easily. here how eirik work.he will send you this email.

hello to everyone who has ever been cheated by Adrian Eirik! .. unfortunately I was that one whom Adrian Eirik and his partner Richard Norman has successfully used to get a great sum of money…. too much naive and without enough life experience in this sphere… you even couldn’t imagine…how is it to feel so miserable and so stupid to give these people all the money they required…
.. but I cannot simply give up!!!!!!! please inform me if you were in my shoes . I have applied to the Action fraud service, whose aim is to make the process of reporting fraud easier. But each report cannot be investigated individually, they ask for some other cases.
If you think you have been a victim of such kind if fraud, report at http://www.actionfraud.org.uk or call the helpline on 0300 123 2040.
Let’s do it together!
