The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has warned of fraudsters who may be trying to steal the savings of workers by falsely claiming to be calling from The Pensions Regulator.<\/p>\n
The TPR has received reports of pension holders being cold-called by individuals who have posed as TPR staff offering the workers a ‘free pension review’. TPR have confirmed that this is a common warning sign of a scam as TPR never cold-calls individuals about their pensions. TPR has reported the cases to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) for investigation and will also report any future cases.<\/p>\n
TPR has advised pension holders that if they are cold-called about their pension, or believe they could be the victim of pension fraud, to contact Action Fraud on 0300 1232040.<\/p>\n
