I suspected of her from the word go but exchanged a few mails with her just to see how far she would go. I have enough experience, after 3 au pairs, to spot scam from the real thing, but would like to warn others. There is another posting here on the same person, the email that host dad publishes is exactly the same on I got. It seems this girl has deleted her profile now but she will be back, so watch out. I only saw her profile very briefly as I contacted her straight away by email. Watch out for a girl sending a profile letter such as this one: Dear Family, > > I have seen your profile on the site and Im interested in working for you > as aupair. My name is Lena Scotts.
