Nanny Jobs Scams

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.

The people who conduct the interview are often well dressed, well spoken and seem like educated individuals who offer a fun job with high pay, benefits and lots of time off to explore the new country They offer positions to single women with few contacts or relatives.

They'll also cite their search for a foreign babysitter to be due to their desire to have their children become fluent in a foreign language, namely yours. It's debatable how true this statement may be. As you get interviewed for these jobs, pay careful attention as to whether or not the interviewer asks you more than just personal questions. Decline the job if they seem reticent to answer questions about the job that you may have.

Many of these overseas jobs attract young women looking for travel and excitement. When they arrive they sometimes find sordid conditions and are, virtually, slaves to families. In extreme situations they have even been 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. reverse-phone-searching.info/510/281/ 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.

You can also tell a babysitting and au-pair scam is they ask you for money to pay for your ticket. They'll try to get your money under the pretense of having better luck figuring out your travel arrangements over there than you would in your home country. They just collect that money and cut off contact with you.

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.
