Nope. It's a scam. The Nigerians want money and will anything to get it. I once heard that in Nigeria, you have to bribe with money, to get hired for a job, or to do anything else.

NO! It is a scam. Nigeria is notorious for its booming scam economy. Do not send any money and end all communication with this person or agency. Do not give them any personal info like credit card numbers, social security numbers or bank account numbers. And I would suggest you report them to authorities though which one I have no idea. If you send money you can rest assured that you will not get a job and you will not see a cent of that money again! There are better, safer ways of finding a job legitimately. Try the classified ads or a temp agency, which can be found in newspapers and phone books. Good luck to you.

NEVER pay money for a job!! Hint: They pay YOU! This is a complete scam. It doesn't matter to them that you will be left destitute by sending them your money. If you were to travel there, you would probably be killed.
Nigeria is the most corrupt nation on the planet, starting with the government.
This us just another "Nigerian" scam. The perps may not even be in Nigeria! With e-mail, you can NEVER tell where the recipient actually is. If you send money, you will never see it again and there will be NO JOB. Ever!
People who hire nannies are wealthy. They would travel to YOU to visit with you and see if they felt that they could trust you with their children. They would never communicate primarily by e-mail, they would call you on the phone after working through a local agency in your country that places nannies.

NO, NO, NO, NO. You will loose your $300. or whatever you send them. My daughter got caught up in a scam kind of like this. She was selling a horse for $15,000, received an e-mail from Nigeria wanting to buy the horse. The deal was that they would send her a check for $35,000. she was to to take her price for the horse, + fees for vaccinations, etc. and send them a check for a certain amount what ever was left. Anyway, we waited and did receive a certified check, before she sent anything back to them we took the check to the bank to verify funds, it was counterfeit. They actually went to the trouble to have it delivered Fed-ex, it looked real, even fooled the person at the bank until she made a few phone calls. Don't get involved with this whatever you do!!!!!! This was reported to the authorities, but it is really difficult to do anything. The story made the news here,

I can't believe you would even fall for this!!! Nigerians...#1 scammers. Not saying all Nigerians are scam artists, but a large percentage of money brought in to Nigeria is from internet scams. And they're asking you for money...hell no. That should have been it for you...right there. Why would you pay money for a job? I really think this is a joke question. Why would you go to Nigeria to be a nanny? That's crazy. I just wasted my time answering this. I can't believe you would even consider it being legit.

You should NEVER, EVER pay to get a job. Sounds funny to me and something stinks about it as well.
If they have hired you, then they would pay for your travel and expenses and YOU will get a salary.
Think about it and when you think about what they are doing, you will realize this is some kind of scam.
Run a search on google and see what you come up with. You might see where other people were fooled into giving up money for a job.
Good luck with your job hunting but never pay an employer to hire you. That right there is a red light to warn you.

No it is not okay to trust them. Scams like this are everywhere. Seriously, how could you trust someone that you can only communicate through e-mail with, lives in a different country, and asked for money?
