Pension Scams
Pension liberation schemes and unsuitable transfers can wipe out a lifetime of retirement savings.
Pension Scams
Pension fraud often begins with an unexpected call or message offering a free pension review. Victims are encouraged to transfer their pension into a new arrangement holding unusual or unregulated investments such as overseas property, storage units, or green energy schemes, many of which later fail. Other schemes involve pension liberation, where funds are released before the saver is legally able to access them.
These schemes can erase decades of savings and, in liberation cases, trigger significant tax penalties on top of the loss. Warning signs include unsolicited contact about your pension, promises of unusually high or guaranteed returns, pressure to act quickly, an adviser or introducer with no verifiable standing, and a recommendation to move your pension into unfamiliar or overseas investments.
Investigation, tracing, and full legal representation
Our investigators review the transfer paperwork, the advice given, and the destination scheme to establish how the fraud was carried out and who was responsible. Pension schemes that route money overseas often require cross border cooperation, and we work with Interpol and law enforcement partners where the evidence points beyond our home jurisdiction.
We then file the case on your behalf and represent you through to resolution, pursuing recovery of your pension savings from the parties responsible.
