Stay alert to the danger of scams of all types and remember “if something sounds too good to be true it probably is!” 

Steps to protect yourself:

• Reject any unexpected pension offers whether made online, on social media or by telephone.
• Check the FCA register or call the FCA contact centre to see if the firm you are dealing with is FCA registered.
• Do not be rushed or be pressured into making a decision.
• Consider getting impartial information or advice.
• Visit www.fca.org.uk/scamsmart/how-avoid-pension-scams if you are considering transferring out your benefits.
