If you look on Gumtree, they are advertising jobs (Mainly catering at above the national average for that sector), all over the UK. They could well make money from just the stamps, plus the scrap metal business, and whatever else they do.
I tried phoning the "Bede House association" on 0207 237 0860, who are supposedly based at 361 (or in some cases 351) Southwark Park Road. A girl answered, and when I asked her if it was the Bede Housing association, she passed me across to another woman (Both with African accents), who then informed me, that I was speaking to Age Concern at 95 Southwark Park Road. I confirmed the number with her, and it was the one given on the Bermondsey Spa Regeneration site, as belonging to Bede House association - a charity!!!!
What is going on here?

its ridiculous isnt it? im glad you guys have helped me out, plus i havnt seen these jobs on any reputable websites.....i googled the address and was shocked at the results to be honest, seems well dodgy!

I think that it is despicable that they are raising people's hopes at a time when jobs are scarce, not to mention getting a lot of stamps for nothing if many people fall for the advertisements.

Welcome to MSE Jay, there is a huge amount of useful and interesting information on here, not to mention many people who can immediately spot a scam.

I've seen someone post their own adverts on gumtree just above any of these scam adverts stating clearly they are scams.

Why don't you post your own advert each time the advertise and put a link to the google map of their address.

I bet this is still not enough to put some people off responding but might out some ooff

I think they are trying to trick people as there is a legitimate company named brooks recruitment services unlike the brookes recruitment services in this example.
