    You might want to remove your address.

    Also, 700 sterling a week? Seriously?

    Emmm are there no nanny/au pair agencies in London?

    It just strikes me as a bit strange that you would look for a UK based nanny on an Irish website.

    Are you looking for "nanny" or is there a scam here somewhere?

    Hi George

    You would be as well to remove your address from a public forum on the internet.

    This sounds dodgy to me.

    "If it sounds too good to be true" etc etc etc

    You say this includes food and housing allowance, how much of an allowance? Are you looking for a live in nanny?

    Anyway, even if they're not live in, do you not think 700 a week is a bit much?

    One boy or "children"

    Call me suspicious but there is something strange about this post. Like another poster said why not go to an agency and request an irish nanny?

    It's the offices of Peter Scholl, a firm of solicitors. I suspect someone with a grudge trying to make nuisance for them.

    Aye,just google the email addy in the OP.

    He has been spamming craploads of different sites with the same thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,653 ✭✭✭✭amdublin


    Giving him the benefit of doubt I was going to say maybe he works there. But he specifically says Home Address.

    Good detective work Nipplenuts. That's the end of that chapter * throws scarf over shoulder *

    Several things -

    £700 a week? For an aupair?

    You say there's a 'housing allowance', yet on one of your many ads posted on various sites, it says this person will get their own bedroom

    On one of your other ads, you posted from an IP based in Irvine, USA

    On one of your other ads, there's a photo of a middle aged couple with several small children, yet the text of the ad mentions just one child.

    This is too suspicious.
