I want to know if this is a spam or not
100% scam. There is no job.
There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money and your identity.
Any phone number that starts with +44-70 or anything similar is not based in the United Kingdom. It is from a UK based cell phone redirect service that can be answered by anyone anywhere in the world. It is a favorite service of scammers who want to pretend to be in the United Kingdom but are really half way around the world from there.
The next email is from another of the scammer’s fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "UK government visa agent" and will demand you pay for made-up fees, in cash, and only by Western Union or moneygram.
Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.
Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his ‘potential sucker’ list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.
Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.
6 "Rules to follow" to avoid most fake jobs:
1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one.
2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order.
3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity.
4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone.
5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram.
6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site.
Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed ‘red flags’ and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason.
I didnt even need to read much. This so full of trademark scam red flags its laughable.
The 44-70 number is always a scam.
It looks like a UK number but its a roving number and it can be anywhere in the world. This is the phone the Nigerian Scammers use.
The 2nd giveaway is.. They live in the US and call it United State of America. They say MUM instead of Mom..as we would in the US
Horrible English. Its not their native language. They capitalize wrong words.
But OMG ..they want a photo of your passport –your birth certificate. and all your information
Someone offering an Au Pair job cant process a visa for you
Usually these people have stolen checks or cashiers checks.
They will pay you so much money in advance — you deposit the money. Then they dont need you and want money back. You give them good money for bad. Then the checks come back and youre out of money. And possibly in trouble with the law.
They will take off with your $850 dollars in the 2nd half.
****They are using many scams in one email. ****
****** PLUS they are going to steal your identity..******
These are very very dangerous and bad people. Dont do any thing further with them.

LikeDislike100% SCAM
In addition to the great points in Queen of Answers excellent answer, there is even more proof it’s a scam
1 – If they are not British, they could never sponsor an au pair or anybody else. An American family would be living there on a visa – they cannot sponsor another foreigner as they are not citizens themselves
2 – There is NO Au Pair visa for the UK. That was cancelled back in November 2008 due to the expansion of the EU and hundreds of millions of EU citizens who can work as au pairs without a visa. So unless you are from an EU country or you are in the UK on a Youth Mobility Scheme visa you cannot work as a nanny
3 – Au pairs in the UK get paid £200-250/week MAX. Many pay £150/week. £650/week is £2600/month — that’s what a Marketing Manager would make in any big company.
4 – To work with children in any capacity, you are required by LAW to have a recent CRB check. Nobody can offer you any sort of child care job without this. To get a CRB you must appear in person at a local UK police station to be fingerprinted and have a full background check conducted. Until you have this, NO family can hire you to even babysit one night.
5 – The ONLY agency that can process any work visa to the UK is the British Embassy/Consulate in YOUR country. You must appear IN PERSON to be fingerprinted and photographed before you pay any money
DO NOT reply for any reason. If you have already sent personal info or money you need to contact your local police as you are the victim of fraud and identity theft
And you’ll probably want to change your email as now that the scammers know you are vulnerable, they’ve already sold your details to other criminal gangs who will continue to target you with fake job scams, fake lottery, fake inheritance, phishing scams, malware/virus infected messages to hack your computer, etc
