| This is yet another version of the Cameroonian scam - the second we've come across in the last few days. The pattern is exactly similar each time - they use the usual yahoo email address, use a British address for a non-British national and use an unusual/poor writing style in their emails. Here is the email we received from this one;
"Dear Family,
I have seen your profile on the site and am interested in working for you as aupair. My name is Katie Hird. I am a 22 years old Canadian girl born on the 8th of April 1985 in Toronto Canada. I am the eldest in a family of three I have a junior brother (Mike) and a kid sister (Bianca) and a father though my mother is of late. We are a small noble and happy family. I used to take care of my junior ones and that is why I developed interest in child care. After my high school I studied child care training and I graduated with a diploma in this field after nine months of studies. I understand and speak both English and French fluently
I love working, looking after children and playing with them. I also find child caring as a very rewarding experience though challenging at times. I am responsible mature hard working and willing to work with children of all ages.
My principal job description with all my previous families consist of making breakfast for the kids, getting them ready for school, driving them to and from school, prepare meals and snacks for them, do laundry and tidy up their rooms, keep my living quarters clean and tidy, help the kids out in their assignments and create fun activities for them in times of relaxation. I also have various fun games that I teach them. If I fit your ideal aupair then I will be willing to work in like manner and up to 45 hours per week as your family so desires.
As hobbies I like swimming for which I have champion history, I like reading and outdoor games. I am a soft spoken and kind girl. I do not smack children but teach them from the first day the importance of doing what is right. I also belief in the power of positive thinking and I know that every body deserves a second chance. Do wish that you find me not just like an aupair but a senior sister to the kids because I intend to raise them just like my own children.
Kind regards Katie" |
