Nanny Scams
I was informed of a scam in the UK that targeted Nannies. If it happens there it could happen here. A gal was looking for work as a Nanny and had advertised herself on the Web. A lawyer got in touch with her and said he had a family that needed a Nanny. But first she had to prove she had 4 months salary before she could work in the UK and this sounded like such a good deal she wired the money to the UK layer Western Union. The attorney had even provided pictures and there were many phone calls. She trusted, she lost. Beware of scams. These guys are getting smarter and smarter. If you can't trust an attorney, who can you trust?

Who protects the Nannies here in the US?
I remember a job I got in Italy thru an agency in London. It turned out the family were the Italian Mafia and they had lied to the agency about a lot of things! The fact that they were the Mafia didn't really bother me until later! The fact that bothered me the most was that the agency hadn't even met with the family.
