After replying to the first email I asked a couple of questions including where in Australia I would be located and this is the response that i got: We are willing to pay you $AUD2500{Australian dollars} a month if thats okay with you? We only require you for three days in the week and if you are willing to move in with us it will be highly appreciated, if not its also okay. You will not be required to do any light job aside from taking care of my dear Tracy.Your experience I am sure will come in handy. We should be back before the end of next month. I am willing to pay you $AUD200{Australian dollars} in advance since you are really eager to start. We do not mind if you do not stay with us, you choice is our choice. Just let us know when you will be available to work so that we can work on a schedule for you. Remember if you take up the job you will have a toyota camry car at your disposal fully airconditioned(we shall even gas it for you) with a well furnished room. We can send the money to you immediately all you need to do is to open an account with Common Wealth bank and my husband will have the $AUD200 wired into your account as soon as you have it opened.As soon as you send us your Common Wealth account payment details,we would send your upfront payment of $100.00 We shall be coming back home next month and may even pay you for a months charge ahead of time but you will get to keep the $AUD200 even if we change our mind. I want to thank you for considering our dear little Tracy and I know that you two will get along just fine. ******I then replied to this email and asked them to contact me via phone so that we could discuss everything & this was the response: It owuld be difficult for me to reach you via pphone for now,cos I am on board my husband ship.If you want the job you can let me know. Mrs Michelle. ***When i responded that I would not need the $200 upfront & could just put that towards my airfare if thats ok. I haven't recieved a reply to that & i highly doubt that i will!! I am glad that others have posted complaints about this particular 'family'. It all sounded a little too good to be true! BEWARE!
