They approach you asking if you would like to be the aupair and offer a travel agent to arrange things through. Beware, i have seen several complaints from people who have had the exact some email just with towns and distances changed Below is the email is recieved We are the Michael's family, My husband work as a Bank Manager .....I work in a Phamacy Company...... We are out going, approachable and need someone to be a big sister to our little darlings:). but is a fun loving energetic child, and loves arty things. She attends a mainstream school a mile up the road from where we live. is a typical boy!! He attends nursery every day from 9 - 11.30 The town Aldershot is easy accessible (0.5miles), with shops, pubs, club and supermarket. We also live 40-60 mins train ride from (7miles). If you want to attend collage the closest is Farnborough which is 2miles away with a wide range of courses to suit part time study. I'll give you 320 pounds per week also. Plus occasional extras, like nights out, take aways etc...You will have the use of my whole house, including interenet and sky TV, So i will like you to get back to me if you are intrested in being my aupair/ nanny for my kids .So i hope to hear from you soon. Comment   >> Posted: Jun 03 '08 by Liz in Massachusetts, United States I have recently received the same e-mail from that same family they gave a bogus agency name to arrange for my visa and work permit..I did stal with them for a while becasue i kept on asking her quesitons on how she got my name and about the kids she/he was upset and just really kept on taking about the money..and when i am going to send it to the agency..it was just too weird for me i asked her/him about the kids and she said the most stupid things ever, i have been a nanny for many years and if you have 3yr triplets they dont go the movies they dont go shoping,,so i finally told her/him that she/him was just a hoax she/desipered..so just becarefull out there Comment   >> Posted: Apr 19 '07 by Erin in New South Wales, Australia Can fully support this posting .. not long after listing at greataupair I received an email from these SCAMMERS !!
