Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

Hello!
I'm from Italy and I am looking for a British family to host me this summer.
I have been exchanging some emails with this man "called" Anthony Holmes, from London and we also talked by skype (only messages, no calls) with this contact [email protected].
His mail is [email protected] and I thought it was strange since the very beginning, as it doesn't contain the "L" of his surname.

His messages didn't seem so reliable and genuine for me, so I googled some sentences of his emails and I found the SAME emails here on Scamwarners. So he is 100% a scammer.
Here are his messages:

Object: Thanks for contacting us. Send us your resume

Then we talked on skype, his replies were REALLY short and he didn't seem really interested. On skype he mentioned some strange things. here are some of his messages:

-Do you realise that there are certain requirements you need to have, to be able to work here in the UK?
-Do you have a valid id card and Travel passport?
-And also do you have the Basic travel allowance of 1,250 British pounds, to show proof that you can support yourself here in the UK for both you and your boyfriend? Also valid Id card, for UK security measures
-The 1,250 pounds is basically to show proof that you can support your selves here in the UK, should there be any eventuality
-Kindly let me know if you possess these requirements, as the immigration will require to know, before they process your documents

His second email after talking with skype:

and he attached the questionnaire used by greataupair.com, I think. (I don't trust him so I don't know!)



Without this website I wouldn't have discovered that this is a scam, so thank you very much!
