Hey guys, have you heard of Nanny job offer in london scam? Just and experience to share with you happens sometime in January 2010. I receive a message from Yuwie.com by one user, name Mark Steven. He don't have photo there and profile is not fully accomplish. He sent me a message saying that he was searching for a Nanny in my area. He leave his personal email for me to get back. After a month then I only red the message, I immediately response to him cause I thought this was the biggest break to work abroad. He respond to my message stating that he's seeking for Nanny for his 2 beautiful children, he explained that he prefer asian cause asian nanny is loving and caring just like biological mother does. I accepted the offer cause he offer me a very big salary. He also send me contracts and pictures of him and the kids. The offer was too good to be true except for one condition. He says that I will shoulder half of the Visa fee cause he was fooled before by his previous nanny when he shoulder full Visa Fee. To cut the story short, he gave me his preferred agency from England. I coordinate with the agency and ask for the quotation of Visa Processing Fee. It cost so expensive that I cannot afford even the half, Mr. Steven insisted that I should shoulder the half, that's the advise from his lawyer. I was almost believe and planning to lend money but my curiosity arise so we investigate. The placement agency looks suspicious, they don't even have website, I keep on investigating until I found the site where in the posted forum was undeniably very similar to the email that I received. I found out that it was a big scam, a hoax. It started last 2008, and many people was scammed. Thank god that I didn't send money to the traveling agency. Lesson learned: before engaging in any offer from other people or accepting offer from stranger asking for money, please investigate first.
