Shropshire County Pension Fund has now self-certified itself as meeting the standards of the Pensions Regulator’s pledge to combat pension scams.

Pension scams are on the rise, with many criminals seeking to take advantage of the uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The risks of falling victim to such a scam can be devastating, with many losing their entire life savings.

That is why we have self-certified as meeting the requirements of the Pensions Regulator which is an industry standard pledge asking trustees, providers and administrators of pension schemes to do what they can to protect scheme members.

What this means for you and your pension

Scammers can be difficult to spot and might seek to exploit your trust. We’re already committed to protecting our members, but we want to go one step further. Working together, we will help protect you by following the principles of the pledge to combat pension scams.
