Información de contacto en las fotos y textos del perfil

Las familias de acogida falsas incluyen un número de teléfono en las fotos del perfil de AuPairWorld para iniciar el contacto contigo fuera de la plataforma. No contactes con estas familias. Son falsas y nunca te acogerán como au pair.

Correos falsos de AuPairWorld

Los correos electrónicos falsos se envían desde una dirección de correo electrónico que parece ser de AuPairWorld, por ejemplo "support@aupairrworld.com", pero no lo es realmente. En el correo, los estafadores te recomiendan específicamente una familia de Reino Unido y te da sus datos directamente. AuPairWorld jamás recomienda familias específicas ni da sus datos. A través del Daily Update recibes recomendaciones de familias, pero siempre con enlaces a la página de AuPairWorld. Ejemplo del correo:

En AuPairWorld, tenemos medidas de seguridad estrictas contra las estafas. Sin embargo, los estafadores siempre elaboran estrategias nuevas para engañar a personas confiadas.  El siguiente correo es un ejemplo de ello, en el que los estafadores se hacen pasar por AuPairWorld para indicar que se han equivocado al bloquear un perfil. El objetivo es volver a ganarse la confianza del au pair:

Visado para los Estados Unidos: recibiste un mensaje que te pide enviar documentos y dinero para obtener una visa

En estos correos, la supuesta familia te dice que se han mudado hace poco a Estados Unidos y por eso necesitan con urgencia un au pair. Las cuentas de correo y la información específica (como edad de los niños o el país) pueden variar, pero éste es un modelo típico de correo. Los emails que te piden que envíes dinero o documentos suelen ser estafas, por lo general. A veces, también adjuntan contratos y formatos de solicitud de visa falsos. Por esta razón, nunca debes confiar o responder a esos mensajes. Recuerda que para ser au pair en Estados Unidos debes contactar una de las 16 agencias oficiales y pasar por una entrevista antes de pagar por los servicios. 

  • Hello and how are you doing today and how is everyone down there in your home, i was just going through your profile now and i think that you would be the perfect person for my 3 boys...
    i have 2 boys in the age of 10 months, 3 years and 5 years old...
    we recently moved from Ireland Dublin down to Usa and we would require the service of an aupair for our kids in Usa because my husband got a job and we had to move to Usa.....
    so if you are interested of coming to work for my family here in Usa in New York, then you can contact me directly in my email address and tell me more about you...
    here is my email address: jjtidy@gmail.com,sargutidy@gmail.com

Visado para Reino Unido: recibiste un mensaje que te pide enviar documentos y dinero para obtener una visa

Este tipo de estafa es muy similar al anterior, pero con la diferencia de que el destino es Reino Unido. Principalmente te piden que envíes copias de documentos y un depósito a desconocidos. También te ofrecen condiciones y una paga demasiado buenas para ser ciertas. Recuerda que los au pairs que deseen ir ese país no necesitan pagar nada.

  • We wish to inform you that we received information from the Home Office of B.H.C (British High Commission) Head Quarter today that a new policy has been put into force to regulate genuine working applicants coming into the UK.
    Thus Applicant(s) applying as an Employee to United Kingdom must deposit a Total sum of 2 000 pounds to the Home Office of the BHC (British High Commission) Head Quarter here in United Kingdom. This is mandatory for anyone coming to work or study in the UK. We have been able to make more inquiries on how to get this policy for all EU citizen and non-EU citizens coming to work in the United Kingdom and here are some of the informations given to us. An inquiry about deposits for all Aupair was made by EXCELLENT TRAVEL from the BHC (British High Commission) head quarters that a policy as been made for any applicants who is an EU citizen or other countries that are applying as an Aupair to United Kingdom or even to study and also work must deposit the exact amount of 2 000 pounds per head to the BHC (British High Commission) head quarter here in United Kingdom.
    Firstly any EU citizen or other countries that are applying as an Aupair or even Nanny to United Kingdom must deposit the exact amount of 2000 pounds to the BHC (British High Commission) head quarters here in United Kingdom.
    Secondly this deposit is refundable after you get into United Kingdom in your host family house then you must report with your employer to the nearest BHC in the UK to get your money back immediately or soon Thirdly this policy was made to check and control genuine applicants coming to the UK as many applicants (Aupair nanny or anyone who wants to study) come to United Kingdom to work but most of them never report to their host family or even to their school of study but they rather prefer to be at large and never contact the host family or the school again.
    Please note that this money 2 000 pounds is totally refundable and is just to show that you are truly coming to the UK to work and not to absc= ond after getting your Visa and as soon asyou get to UK at the host family residence all you have to do is to report to the UK embassy with your employer to get back your 2 000 pounds Hope this is clearly understood.
    The immigration will ask about this from you and also an invoice at the airport or all other security places and if you dont show one they will have to send you back to your country immediately so it is better to deposit the 2 000 pounds so that you won't have problem with the immigration at the airport when landing and also so that we can finanlise your working registrations . So we urge you to inform your host family about this and we shall also inform them too we wait for your positive response. The deposit must be send to us or your host family to register for you so that we can forward it to the Home Office of BHC Head Quarter Here in United Kingdom.
    Thanks for your co-operation and understanding In anticipation of your response.
    Many Thanks VISA WORK PERMITS AGENCY INTERNATIONAL
