We warned people to be vigilant of pension scams as the cost-of-living soared

At Keller Postman UK, we know that scammers are becoming more and more convincing. Our Investment Fraud & Mis-selling team has seen many intelligent and savvy people fall victim to pension fraud, and we understand the financial and emotional damage this can cause. In September 2022, we highlighted advice from The Pensions Regulator (TPR) which warned people to look out for scammers as the cost of living soared.   

The Keller Postman UK Investment Fraud & Mis-selling team highlighted more schemes, investments & providers accused of pension-mis-selling

In July 2022, we began to raise awareness of a number of schemes, investments & providers that have already been accused of pension mis-selling. In September, we added to this list by highlighting failures at: 

  • Lifetime SIPPs. After being hit with thousands of claims for mis-selling pensions, Lifetime SIPPs went into administration. If you are affected, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
  • Greyfriars Asset Management. Before a company invests your pension money, these investments must be properly checked and vetted. However, in the case of Greyfriars, this did not happen.

We also raised awareness of Harlequin Properties after its former chairman was found guilty of fraud.
