The Pensions Regulator has circulated a warning about organisations encouraging pension scheme members to cash in their pension early. These fraudulent operators may encourage you to transfer to a bogus ‘pension liberation scheme’, not mentioning the associated and very large tax penalties. This applies to schemes in the UK as well as those overseas.
