His mail # 2


Hello,
Am really happy to read your mail, and to know that you are willing to take up the job, which i want you to start as soon as possible.... I live in Stoke-on-Trent in the UK, and i would want you to be my kids aupair for one year which the contract could be extended as time goes on(laughs) my girls are very funloving, and they do not disturb but they like playing with their toys alot all these are aside reading their Books of Bible Story which is paramount in the heart of their mother before she left on her missionary course. I would like to know if you have a valid UK work permit and tax clearance, if you do not i would like to introduce you to an agency that would help you get it in a short period of time and at a very cheap rate.. They can also help you get a visa(thats if you dont posses one already) and a flight ticket. So you can e-mail Global Travels International Agents, tell them that you have been offered an aupair job in the UK with our family(Woolworth) and that you will be needing all documents neccessary for you to live and work in the UK legally!, their e-mail address is globaltravelsintlagent@london.com Let me know when you e-mail them, and what their response is. Hope to hear from you again and soon!
Regards
Woolworth

To all Au pairs and Nannies out there, please be smart enough to all the scammers out there who wants to fool us in so many ways. This travel agency is a BOGUS! I've received an email coming from a family from the UK and referred me to this travel agency. Asking me to pay for the agency fee which is $350. I asked the employer to pay for it and deduct it on my salary but insisted I should be the one to take charge of it. After reading this forum I knew that it was a scam. Please don't be fool and be careful.
