HMRC and TPR join forces to deliver webinar on pension scams
08 October 2020
HMRC and The Pensions Regulator (TPR) are working alongside one another, to deliver a webinar that will provide guidance for employers on the topic of how they can assist employees in avoiding falling victim to pension scams.
Unfortunately, the outbreak of coronavirus has seen the number of pension scams increase substantially, as fraudsters try and use the pandemic as an opportunity to prey on the most vulnerable in these uncertain times. The webinar will take place on Monday 12 October, between 11:15 and 12:15, and will explore how pension scams work, identify who is most at risk, and will also highlight what the key warning signs are.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) also provides a wealth of information designed to prevent savers from being duped by the range of pension scams that are currently in circulation. The overriding message is that individuals should take their time in making decisions relating to their pension, they should check who they are dealing with, reject any unexpected offers, and if possible, seek some impartial information or advice prior to making any decisions.
