Hi my friend. First, good job on deciding to ask whether this offer is real. The offer is absolutely fake. Please ignore the scammer from this point, do not reply to any more e-mails. Reasons why its fake:

1. I researched the street address provided in that "form". There is no such entity called Sunrise Chambers. There IS a Sunrise Solicitors, but there is no Harry Whitehead who works there.

2. The form is full of grammatical mistakes.

3. The supposed form for the UK Home Office is also a fake. I'm not sure where in the EU you're coming from, but if you DID require some kind of visa you would have to obtain it independently. I have been to the UK before on a tier 4 visa, it did not cost 870GBP.

4. One of the parts in the fake form says "He is a good Lawyer and has many years of experience in Law". That's just hilarious. No legitimate form would include anything as informal as this.

Do I really need to pay deposit for coming in UK? As I am European and do not need visa...

Absolute scam. You do not need to pay a deposit for coming to the UK and Aupairs are hired through legitimate regulated agencies NOT free email addresses. DO NOT send any money and cease all contact with the scammers.

====================================
PLEASE DO NOT TELL A SCAMMER HE IS REPORTED HERE!

Thanks for posting.

If the money has not been picked up then you will be able to cancel the transfer, but if it has been collected then I'm sorry, but it has gone and you won't be able to get it back.

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.
