Ukrainian refugees desperate to find a safe place to stay in the UK are 'advertising' themselves on social media pages prompting fears that human traffickers will exploit them and 'shop' for victims.
The Record has seen multiple, unregulated Facebook groups where those fleeing war are posting photos of themselves asking for accommodation and offering to cook and clean in the hope they might be 'matched' with a sponsor under the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
One post seen reads: "I am a 20-year-old student. Calm and shy. I can help with the household chores, cook and go to the market."
