or sending messages via whatsapp to lure their victims. the owner of a surrey recruitment business said their name was used by a scammer who targeted job hunters online. it comes as the city of london police says the number of people reporting these scams to action fraud increased by more than 700% in a year. fiona irving reports. a good salary, fantastic benefits, the chance of working from home. the only problem is the job doesn't exist. more and more of us are falling for recruitment scams. elaborate and sophisticated frauds where the criminals contactjob—seekers, often posing as genuine recruiters. we were taking calls from candidates saying, is there a david there? and we said, no, we don't have a david. when david, the con man, posted a job on the jobs website, indeed, pretending to be a two eye

recruitment employee, the genuine firm in surrey was inundated with calls from angryjob—seekers. what has david asked you? well, he's contacted us about a job ad that you're advertising. so i would reply and say, well, we're not advertising that particularjob. that's not a job that's on our books, you know? can you send us a screenshot of the vacancy? can you discuss it further? and they were very, very upset. you know, they were basically implying that people from my business had been trying to get their personal information. julia from surrey was conned after being contacted by a fake recruiter claiming to be from a legitimate recruitment firm. he lost £7,000. i got a sort of panic attack. like, i lost my balance. i started seeing blurry, like being nervous. i felt my temperature went high. i should realise these things. i should see the signs. but i didn't see it. these scammers can be really tricky to track down.

they use encrypted messaging systems like whatsapp, meaning their communications are largely untraceable and they're often not operating from within the uk. their crimes can have devastating financial consequences. we've had instances where people think that they've got this genuine job lined up. they've maybe paid this advance fee for a criminal record check or some sort of spurious online course. they leave theirjob and in some cases have relocated. these people turn up at the office they think is their new place of work, only to be turned away because no such business exists. the jobs website indeed says it removes tens of millions ofjob listings each month that don't meet its quality guidelines. but with so many scammers evadingjustice, ourjobs boards and messaging services doing enough to disable the criminals operations?

fiona irving, bbc south east today. frank foster is a huge football fan, but after a knee injury ended his dreams of playing, he turned to refereeing grassroots games. for the last 44 years that's exactly what he's been doing — and at the age of 90, he shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. hannah gray has been to meet him. 0k. frank foster doing what he enjoys most. this 90—year—old great—grandfather from sheffield referees about three times a week. i just love football. being out in the fresh air. i had a 98% mark in my referee exam. i wanted to give that back out, whether it be boys, girls, men 01’ women. i just love it. frank played for bamford football club back in the 1950s. after a knee injury, he couldn't play in the team any more,

but he's now in his 44th year of refereeing. my legs are tired afterwards, because i don't have linespeople, and i anticipate a move and go with it. and if i get any arguments, i'm straight in, talking to them. i don't talk down to them. that's rubbish, that. just talk to them naturally. spectators are often stunned to learn his age. it's really hard, isn't it, being a ref? so, the fact that he's still doing it at 90 is absolutely amazing. i can't believe it. and he's keeping up with play, which actually some of the younger lads don't even do. so, yeah, absolutely brilliant to see him here, yeah. it's obviously great for the girls. he's still very mobile, - running up and down the pitch. so, yeah, it's brilliant. people my age, as a grandparent, i'm a bit envious, really. you know, he's 20 years older than me, and i wish i could do what he's doing now. an inspiration to us all. frank, can we come back and chat

to you when you turn 100, and will we still find you refereeing? as long as you push me wheelchair, i will. and you're going to continue for a while? oh, i'm going to continue, yes. i've got no reasons or intentions of stopping. age isjust a number. it's just a number. forget how old you are. do what you can as long as you can. determined to keep on handing out those red and yellow cards for as long as he possibly can. hannah gray, bbc news. you take care. you, too. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there. good afternoon. well, it's been another wet start to the day with a band of heavy rain moving eastwards, particularly across england and wales. sodden ground here in herefordshire, although the rain is largely eased here. lots of low cloud, still some rather

misty, murky conditions for the rest of this week. you'll notice that it is turning milder with more of a south—westerly wind. more rain to come, though. and here's the rainfall accumulation chart for the rest of the week. you can see for most of us, another 20 to 30 millimetres, but for some spots for northwest england and for western wales, as much as perhaps 70 to 80 millimetres of rain, more flooding. plenty of flood warnings up through the severn estuary and towards the south coast with those high spring tides yesterday and today. and here's the satellite picture showing all of that cloud. the weather fronts gradually pushing through. the rain will eventually clear east anglia in the far south east of england. some showers following on behind a lot of low cloud. perhaps the best of the brightness today will be across north western areas of scotland, although here perhaps still a few showers and a brisk south—westerly wind dragging in that mild feeling air, 12 or 13 degrees celsius across the south of england. now, overnight tonight, we'll see further weather fronts just gradually push their way in from the west, bringing some

heavy rain across north western scotland, northern ireland and down through northwest england as well. further south and east, it is drier. there'll be lots of low clouds and misty, murky conditions, still rather breezy, ten or 11 degrees celsius. it's a mild start to the day on wednesday. now, wednesday, that weatherfront stores across north west, england and west and wales, there will be some rain here to the south of the front, plenty of cloud, a few brighter skies. and that will really help to lift the temperature. sunshine and showers further north and gales blowing across the far north of scotland. but that milder air now firmly established across most of the uk. 0ur weather front will gradually be pushing further northwards as we head through thursday. bringing some more heavy rain across perhaps parts of northern ireland, southern scotland and another rash of showers pushing eastward, some heavy and thundery, particularly out towards the west. if we do get any brightness on thursday, temperatures across parts of east anglia could rise as high as perhaps 16 or 17 degrees celsius. there's more showers to come in. the forecast, though, as we head through friday, drier by the end of the day,

the air stays mild, but still some more wet weather to come. bye— bye.
