If you are looking for information on early pension scams and how to protect yourself from them, keep reading.
It’s not easy to take out an early pension
Taking out your pension before the set date is a hard process. You should keep this in mind when dealing with pension companies that are offering early removal. There are many rules to follow, and it takes time to qualify.
Some scammers will try to tell you you can borrow money from your own pension fund. Don’t fall for it! If you listen to them, your entire retirement fund could be gone before you know it.
How does the scam work?
Usually, with this scam, there’s a person calling you with an option for a pension review. They sell it really well and make you believe it will increase the money available for the day you will retire. Following that, they tell you you can get your pension money beforehand. They ask for a percentage for the review, up to 30% of the pension. When you agree to all they are saying, they transfer your pension to their account, which you can’t track down. Getting your money back from an early pension scam is nearly impossible.
The new UK rules
The UK has a new rule allowing for early pension. The existence of that rule makes it much easier for the scammers to continue with their fraud, unfortunately. Because of this, you must know all the rules and regulations about pension funds. Knowledge can protect you from scammers after the money that is intended to be there for you in your golden years.
