Pensions Governance
Pension scams
Pension scams are widespread across schemes, with scammers generally targeting individuals by phone, email, text, or even online advertisements. Scammers make false claims to gain the trust of scheme members, making attractive offers to encourage fraudulent transfers.
Further information on pension scams, including how to report these, can be found on the FCA page: How to avoid pension scams, as well as in the FCA pension scams leaflet.
