One of the most dangerous scams in recent years is the babysitting and Au-Pair positions. Advertisements are listed on various media offering these positions, almost always overseas. Good wages, air fare, and other enticements are offered.
The advertisements usually contain a contact phone number and request for a resume. The average resume contains a tremendous amount of personal information so great care should be exercised when submitting this document. It can be used as a convenient vehicle for identity theft.
As you get interviewed for these kinds of jobs, you'll typically find your interviewers to be impressive, cultured, and well-dressed, giving you the impression that the job is easy and well-paying, and paints the country as a great place to be. The demographic they go for are attractive women who don't have close ties with family.
They advertise for a native speaker from another country with the excuse that they want to raise their children with another language besides their own. It may or may not be the case. These interviews give a good opportunity for the prospective employee to pose questions that encompass all aspects of the job in addition to answering personal questions. Most scammers are reluctant to give direct answers and if this is the case the job should be avoided.
These positions appear perfect to young women looking for travel and adventure. Sometimes these women are in virtual bondage to the family and kept in squalid conditions. It is not unheard of for an individual to be sold into white slavery.
Women who come to a country without much money in the hope of such a job are at their employer's whim. As a result, you should research the company that is offering to hire you. tele-search.com/New-Mexico/Taos/505/295.htm and other such telephone look-up services can help you figure out the validity of the caller that you are communicating with, and to see if the job is legitimate.
Another scam with babysitting and Au-Pair job offers is to ask for money for the airfare. This is often under the excuse that it would be a problem for the person to get into their country but they, the employer, can make arrangements with no problem. Of course, with money in hand, the scammer disappears.
In the event that you've determined that it's a real job that you're applying for, cover your bases by recruiting a friend to check up on you in the event that they don't hear from you for awhile. Once you get to the foreign country, contact the embassy of your country before you meet your employers, so they know that you exist and are there. When you're in a foreign land, you should be extra careful to protect yourself. - 31381
