Common Au Pair Scams |
|
As we are a jobs site and not a recruitment agency we do not authenticate each new au pair or host family account. This is the responsibility of the au pair or host family.
Unfortunately there are a number of scams that we come across from time to time.
The most common is whereby the scammer pretends to be a host family, posts a great job with wonderful conditions. They then offer every applicant the position and as negotiations progress the 'host family' announces that the au pair will have to hand over a sum of money to get a visa, or in some cases the scammer announces that they have already paid a sum of money to get the au pair a visa and ask the au pair to wire them the money.
Another scam involves the scammer pretending to be an au pair, in this case the (genuine) host family offers them the job but on the day the au pair is due to arrive the 'au pair' contacts them to say they are unable to fly as they need money for a vaccination or a visa and requests the host family wire them the money.
If you know of any other scams please let us know, or if you suspect any accounts on auparireland.ie please send us details.
