Indeed, the agency does receive good feedback. It often comes from the same IP address. See Templeton's agency try to pull a fast one on the internet: http://aupairinargentina.wordpress.com/the-agency-responds-to-this-blog/

Honestly, I assumed that a fully traceable agency with full names and a legitimate registered (London) address wouldn't mess with me so badly. If I'd seen warnings like the ones I've now put up, I would not have gotten involved. And you are correct about them breaking their own terms and...

Well that's really nice for you, Maddy. Really. I too, didn't mind forking over that cash in exchange for a similar service. However, the "scam" part is when you don't receive that service, or you receive a service so infuriatingly negligent that it's time for the company to own up to its...

@BradlyHale You bring up a good point, but the agency isn't comparable to a classifieds section. In its own self-promotion, it claims: "The reason we charge a fee, where some au pair agencies don’t, is because, unlike other agencies, we don’t want to just introduce you to family and then...

Nope, the first family I was offered was about a week before my arrival in Buenos Aires. It was for a family that needs someone to watch 2-year old twins and 8-month old toddlers for 12 hours a day, in Uruguay. I mean, I had to decline. I've never been alone with a baby before. I don't know...

Two words: fake profiles. I have confirmation the fake Couchsurfing profile "MaddyBA" who helpfully created a profile to say: is attached to the director's name according to other CS users who receive full names in email notifications in their inbox.

It's a fraudulent agency. It's run by a British woman named Anna Templeton and she resides in London, and operates in Buenos Aires without paying taxes here. I'm in the process of reporting them to the tax authorities in BA. I was scammed out of $250: I paid them $250 to be placed with a...

Yea, I just posted on this. It's director is Anna Templeton and she resides in London, and operates in Buenos Aires without paying taxes here. I'm in the process of reporting them to the tax authorities in BA. They're also fraudulent: I paid them $250 to be placed with a family who was not even...

Hi there, I've been spending the last couple weeks bringing attention to a fraudulent agency that works out of Buenos Aires called AuPairInArgentina.com, run by a British woman named Anna Templeton. Why? Because I paid them $250 to place me with an Argentine family in October. They lied about...
