    The scam goes like this:

    They register as a family and then contact nannies whom cannot get an au pair or nanny visa for the (supposed) country of residence of the family. So for example the family will claim that they live in the UK and will contact a Russian nanny. The nanny would love to come to the UK but finds out that she is not eligible for a nanny/au pair visa for the UK. The family then claim that they have a company or lawyer that in fact can get them the visa, but of course at a cost and they demand that she sends this money to the company or lawyer who will then arrange the visa. Obviously as soon as the money is sent she will never hear from the family again. Usually the company or lawyer will have a yahoo email address, which in itself is a giveaway, any reputable company or lawyer will have a website and an email address associated with it. If you are not entitled to a visa, nobody will be able to arrange it for you.

    Sorry, but it is a scam. Unless you're from within the EU its almost impossible to get an employment Visa in the UK now without a highly skilled role available, offered to you, and with sponsorship from the employer.
    A friend of mine recently had exactly the same issue and I checked out the address and called the contact.
    UK telephone number, non UK ring tone, VERY african voice. Tried to convince me that his was an american travel agency with an office in england. The office address is a post office - Look up the address on GoogleMaps and streetview - you can often SEE the address they are claiming is NOT what it should be.
    Pleeease don't send money. You won't see it again.

    I am always mindful of the saying that, if an offer appears "too good to be true" ... it usually IS! Which is why I strongly urge you to give THIS one - and others like it - an extremely wide berth.

    Welcome to the forum.
