is this a scam?


Thanks for keeping in touch with us about your Application of becoming an Au Pair in USA. Agent Au Pair is a national employment agency providing placement services for families seeking full-time, part-time or temporary childcare in United States. We recruit, screen and interview qualified applicants. We also verify references, conduct background checks and assist families, baby sitters, Au pairs and nannies through the matching process.


1. AU PAIR INTRODUCTION PROGRAM COST FEES:

The costs for an Au pair to participate in the US Au pair Program are set by the United States Au pair agency organization. The following are only estimates of the costs to the Au pair each.

1. Application Fees : $500

2. Document processing Fee $300 ( Visa , work permits).

3. Placement Fee of $200

Total: $1,000

2. Replacements are free of charge.

5. Introductions are confidential. Passing on of an introduction to another employer, resulting in an engagement, renders the client liable to payment of the agency´s fee.

6. It is up to the client to inform the agency in the event that a suitable Au pair has not been identified, the agency will contact the client from time to time and if the client fails to confirm the above within 7 working days then the agency will assume that an Au pair has been employed by the client and paragraph 3 will apply.
7. The agency fee is the payment for the introduction of the Au pair. The agency cannot be held responsible should the Au pair stay for a shorter time than planned or not arrive . But will endeavor to find a replacement as outlined in paragraph 14. It is up to the client to inform the agency.
8. The Au pair is entitled to a minimum of two weeks notice of termination, plus pocket money.

9. The client warrants:-
(A) That the information contained in the completed application form is full and correct.
(B) That he/she will comply with the rules concerning an Au pair which appear in the information about Au pairs. Hours of work must be strictly adhered to.(C) That the client will at all times behave in a reasonable and responsible way towards the Au pair.

REFUNDS

Provided that the fee is paid at the appropriate time as outlined in paragraph 4:-
12. Should the Au pair leave prior to the expiry of the agreed term, the agency will use its best endeavors to offer a replacement free of charge, save that no liability shall accrue to the agency if it is unable to offer such a replacement or if such a replacement is not accepted by the client.
5. Airfare surcharge varies by departure city. In Most European countries there is no surcharge. In Australia, New Zealand or South
America there may be a surcharge of up to $1,500 each way. ( Host Family are responsible for the Air ticket and all you need to pay is $1,000 Usd dollars )

It is scam.

There is a legitimate agency by that name, but this letter came from a scammer, not them. The email is a free address not associated with the agency in any way.

The scammer copied lots of things but wrote some himself, and I can tell he is African from mistakes he made in what he wrote.

People from different areas have different ways of writing and/or phrasing certain things, even when writing in the same language.

In this case, I can tell from the specific types of mistakes the scammer has made, and the way he phrases some things.

Whatever you have been told by the "host family" or the "agency" is a lie - [email protected] is not a legitimate agency and is not on the list of agencies that the US State Department has authorised to sponsor au pairs.

A legitimate US agency would never ask you to send money to an individual or to use money transfer service such as Moneygram or Western Union.

You can find details of the au pair process here viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3019 and also a link to the official list of authorised US agencies.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
