Beware Of Emails Looking For Nanny

by Cecile Cinco

Several times I have received a short email that he (yes, a guy) needs a nanny, that he is a widower with 2 kids and they live in the UK, that he is willing to pay 850 pounds per week and will provide shopping allowance and accommodation.

For a Philippine nanny, that is great opportunity! A week’s salary is equivalent to almost half a year salary locally! But of course, UK’s minimum is far greater than the Philippines’. Don’t be too happy yet.

This time, instead of merely deleting the email, I delved deeper. Checked the header. I found out that the return email is from Hotmail. So what? I checked the IP. Guess what. It’s from Nigeria.

Not that everyone in Nigeria is a scammer but most of the scammers that surface come from Nigeria. Shame on them, they drag with them the good and God-fearing people of Nigeria.

Below are the pics I captured.

Beware!
