The government scheme to recruit 250,000 helpers - who must be over 18 and in good health - went live on Tuesday.

By Wednesday morning, they had exceeded their target, after many thousands signed up to*Good Sam*, the group coordinating the response.

There's no mention of vetting for the people tasked with helping the vulnerable, I know there are wonderful people out there but sadly this situation had also brought out an ugly side that is exploiting people during the crisis.
