Hi everyone,
This is Daryl. I really need your advice. I had been a frequent visitor in this forum, though my concern is not about my man.
Last Sunday, I received an email from Mrs. Laura Weeks, telling me that she is interested to hire me as an aupair nanny in London. She is a very busy woman, as well as her husband that she needs to hire an aupair nanny as soon as possible. She actually saw my profile at penpals.de, though I didn't advertise my self as somebody whose looking for a job. But she emailed me anyway and offered me 550 pound every after two weeks as my salary and 150 pound per week as a self-keeping. I'll be taking care of her 2 daughters, ages 5 and 3 respectively. She said that she is working in an insurance company and her husband as a contractor and they both travel frequently, and a need for a nanny became an issue.
Anyway, yesterday, we chatted in ym. And she said that she is willing to pay my tickets from Philippines to UK as soon as my working visa is granted. All I need to pay is the processing fee for my visa which costs 250 pounds (17,500 pesos). She gave my a email address where I can ask them how to process my visa and what are the requirements needed. It's premiertravelagency@europe.com. So, I emailed the company and here is thier answer:
1.You will need to provide us with your full name,age,sex,marital status,Address,Country of Birth,Nationality,Occupation and Your valid international passport number for us to begin processing of your documents.
2.Fees:Please note that the working visa fee will cost you 255pounds including all tax charges which will be withdrawn from this amount so you dont need to worry about the payment of tax over here in Uk.
Note:We will like to also inform you that we will not be able to start processing of your documents until we recieve your application fee,this is due to the british aviation policy over here in uk in conjuction with the aviation board of directors.
We are very sorry for any delay or problem this might cause you our esteemed customer's.
Thank you for contacting us and our motive aim is to serve you better.
We hope to hear back from you soon madam.
Actually, before I emailed the agency, I was very positive about this thing, somebody approached me for a job that is very tempting. the mere fact that Mrs. Weeks will be paying me for an amount that I can never earned if i'll be staying here in the Philippines is like fulfilling my dream of giving a good life for my family. They said that I'll just be taking care of the kids after school and will do some light household chores and I can also have a part-time job in the hotels near their home. I have my own room with a T.V and a bathroom. This is actually a very promising job for me.
I am actually an educated person, i just graduated from college last year and I came from a reputable university. I might have a good future here if I'll just pursue my carrer but with that is happening in our economy and our country, nobody can blame me for dreaming to work in other country especially in UK.
But now that the agency has emailed me, I am having my doubts if I will pursue this or not. 17,500 is still 17,500 though i am willing to risk is as long as i am sure that this is not a scam or whatever. So now, I need your advice about this. Do you think that Europeans have still time to do this? I don't know far can 255 pounds go and Mrs. Weeks and the agency is wasting their time in fooling me (if ever this is really a scam) .
You know better than i am. I need some logic here coz if you ask me, i might as well grab this. I am desperate and that emotion might hinder me from thinking logically.
I hope to hear from all of you as soon as possible.
Thank you very much.
Daryl
