Action Fraud has revealed that £17.5 million was lost to pension fraud in 2024 — that’s £48,000 every single day. Criminals are targeting savers and retirees with fake investment deals and impersonation scams to steal life savings.
Please take a moment to check in with your relatives, especially older family members, and make sure they know the signs of a scam:
🔒 Use strong, unique passwords and enable 2-step verification
📞 Ignore unsolicited calls about pensions — cold calling is illegal
⚠️ Be wary of pressure to invest quickly or promises of high returns
💬 Seek independent financial advice before making any changes
💡 Remember: Stop. Think. Fraud.
Let’s stay vigilant and help protect each other from these ruthless scams. Learn more and report suspicious activity at Action Fraud.
