Beware of pension scams - approach your transfer with caution...
STOP. LOOK. LISTEN.
Firstly, stop any unwanted or uninvited contact about your pension.
Secondly, stop thinking about getting your hands on your pension early or the promise of far better returns. If it sounds too good to be true – it probably is.
Finally, do the look and listen steps before agreeing to anything. Take your time – don’t rush.
