Beware of FAKE Au PAir Families

ok..
cerita bermula dari seseorang bernama bapak Harris, mengirimkan sebuah message lewat friendster. Disana dia menawarkan untuk ikutan program Au Pair, yaitu sebuah program seperti Live In di luar negri tapi kita kaya kerja dirumahnya, jadi anggota keluarganya and dibayar pula.
Awalnya saya langsung hah? ada ya yg kaya gitu?
and langsung terfikir... Boleh juga...

Akhirnya rasa penasaran mulai menjadi-jadi.. Mulai deh buka google and cari-cari info ttg Au PAir.
Wah... ternyata au pair itu emang exist!
Kebetulan ketemu salah satu web yg bisa bikin account kita disana, and nanti profile kita bisa disearch sama keluarga-keluarga yang butuh Au PAir. Lumayan lah .. subscribe gratis and nyoba peruntungan =p

Gak berapa lama setelah saya buat account, tiba-tiba sudah ada email yg masuk dan berbunyi seperti ini.
"From: "petesonjo@yahoo.co.uk"

Subject : BE OUR AUPAIR
Message : Hello Au pair, We are family, we got to see your profile at the au pair.com and we find it interesting so we decided to contact to take care of our kid. We will take care of your flight ticket,visa and other relevant document, but afraid you will take care of your work permit fee. Please if you are okay with it do contact us directly to this email address.... petesonjo1@yahoo.com this is my personal email,contact me with it. Looking forward to hear from you. my mobile number......+44 702 4038 754 Regards....Peter Johnson.

Saya langsung..........woooowwww.... koq cepet banget yah?
tapi ada rasa deg-degan juga, ini beneran apa bukan sih?
akhirnya saya balas emailnya& langsung nyari info lebih lagi ttg au pair.
Setelah baca-baca di forum2,
akhirnya dapat info2 ttg Au pair tuh ada yang anggep sperti Nanny, mungkin karna job desknya mostly merawat anak keluarga tersebut.
katanya sih Au pair itu sebuah program bantuan bagi warga negara-negara yg sedang berkembang.Jadi kita bisa tinggal dirumah mereka, dianggep anggota keluarga, dibawa jalan-jalan keluarga,dsb dan digaji. Bahkan dari satu forum diKaskus, ada loh orang indonesia yang ikutan Au Pair sampai dibiayain kuliah sampe S3, walaupun dia uda ga Au Pair dikeluarga tersebut.
Lucky banget tuh orang!
Tapi banyak juga penipuan yg dilakukan oleh mostly orang-orang dari Afrika.
Yah.. bagi saya sih... sesuatu yg ada diinternet itu belum tentu dapat dipercaya.
JAdi kita harus extra hati-hati.

Balik lagi ke email dari keluarga Mr. Peter Johnson tadi. Akhirnya dia mengirimkan email yang ke2 yg berbunyi
"Hello,

It was nice to get to hear from you,I also think you have a great sense of humor and good personality so I have considered hiring you for your services. However as regards your flight ticket that will be handled by me and also some other relevant documents you might be needing to proceed into the UK,but you have to take care of your work permit fees nothing much I presume.

So if you agree with these terms please let me know so that I can have my lawyer issue you your contract/invitation letter and also all the necessary details on how to obtain your traveling papers..

But first let me tell you a little bit about my family,

We are down to earth people not arrogant,we respect our employees opinion very much,our kid is the most adorable thing on the face of the earth we love him so much and so will you I hope.We are also easy going people my wife and I.

I leave for work early in the morning 7.30am,about the same time my wife does,my kid attend school leave at 8.30am come back by 1.00pm.
The family does a lot of outings,we go hiking sometimes my wife and I,also to the beach together the whole family.we are a religious family,so we also attend services every Wednesdays & Sundays.

For the family."

Waduh... dari emailnya seperti menunjukkan family yg sangat baik yah...
Alhasil saya sempat beritahu kakak dan mama saya soal ini, membicarakan saya akan pergi atau tidak.
Lanjut ke email ke 3
" Hello,

I have asked my lawyer to send you a contract letter and details on how you will obtain your work permit and travel documents.

Setelah banyak berdoa menyerahkan semuanya pada Tuhan YME, akhirnya saya mendapatkan email dari lawyernya yang semakin meyakinkan saya bahwa............
