In the podcast, Margaret and Nicola explain:
- That the pensions industry should, and can, do more to fight scams, including signing up to PSIG and TPR’s Pledge to Combat Pension Scams and increase reporting of suspected scams.
- Why there are so many different figures around pensions scams and how that makes combating them more difficult.
- Why pension scams can have a more significant impact on victims than investment scams.
- What lessons can be learned from banking and why the pension industry needs to get more innovative in tackling scammers.
- Their support for plans by Pensions Minister to write to pensions firms to ask why they are not sharing data.
- The possibility of putting PSIG’s Combating Pension Scams – A Code of Good Practice on a statutory footing and how the code is set to be simplified and condensed.
- How putting the scam-fighting multiagency group Project Bloom on a statutory footing with dedicated funding would help in the fight against fraudsters
- Why scammers should quit before it’s too late.
