If there is an email address in the profile picture.
You have been asked to make a transfer through MoneyGram, Western Union, or to set up some deposit account.
You have been contacted by some agency or a lawyer. They might have sent you a visa application or sample contract.
Someone advises you to pay rent for a flat.
The Au Pair just asked you to pay for the flight ticket. Although some Au Pairs expect Host Families to help them with travel costs, there are certain rules of cost refund.
The Host Family contacts you on Facebook.
