It's rare that you get such an iconic image from football that takes place off the pitch. But that must be said of the moment when Luis Rubiales held the head of his Spanish star player Jenny Hermoso, planting a kiss on her lips after her team prepared to lift the World Cup in 2023. She consented, Mr. Rubiales insisted. But that plea does not seem to have been accepted by the court.

It's very possible that you will at some point have received a phone call, a text or an email offering you perhaps a special deal on some purchase or maybe a financial service.

What you may not realize is that many of the people carrying out these scams are working under duress, many of them in Southeast Asia, many of them from China originally.
