Babysitter and au-pair recruitment scams
We have come across a number of fraudulent job offers for babysitters and au-pair girls by scammers from Nigeria. Sometimes the job offers are in Nigeria, other times the scammers pretend to be UK-based. The objective of such job offers is to trick job seekers into paying advance fees (supposedly for visas, air fares and other expenses). These usually amount to hundreds or even thousand dollars and are demanded to be paid by Western Union wire transfer.
Once the job offer turns out to be fake the recipient of the payment can not be traced. Therefore don't send money and don't quit your current job. If the offer sounds too good to be true, that's because it is.
The following emails are part of an Advance Fee Scam. See our "419" fraud FAQ for more information on such scams.
If you have any suspect email that you want to report or have checked, you can copy and paste the message text into our "Scam-O-Matic" webform for an instant reply.
If you get suspect emails, you can also forward them to our scam-reporting e-mail address
Though you won't normally get a reply we do use your reports to shut down scammers and to warn others.
