Scam of the day: Pension scams.

What they want: Your pension pot, transferred into a scheme or investment they control.

Red flag: A promise of access before the legal minimum age.

How it works, the red flags and what to do: streetowl.co.uk/scam-avoidance-database

#ScamAwareness #FraudPrevention

StreetOwl scam avoidance: Investments & pensions. Pension scams. Also: free pension review · pension liberation · pension unlocking · transfer to a SIPP. What they want: Your pension pot, transferred into a scheme or investment they control. How it works: A 'free pension review' by phone, online or through a friend leads to a transfer into a self-invested pension holding exotic assets (overseas property, storage pods, forestry, carbon credits, unlisted shares) that pay the introducer a large commission and are worth little. The moment they push you to act: Signing the transfer forms. Once the money is in the new scheme it is invested in the unsellable asset, and the fees are taken. Red flags: An unsolicited cold call about your pension: illegal since 9 January 2019 unless you asked for it. A promise of access before the legal minimum age. Investments that are overseas, unregulated, or hard to sell. Being rushed, or asked to sign forms that are not fully filled in. Where to report: MoneyHelper (free, government-backed) before any transfer; the FCA and Report Fraud after. Happening right now? Hang up or close the message first. Money sent: call 159 · Scam text: forward to 7726 · Report Fraud · Scotland: 101. streetowl.co.uk/scam-avoidance-database, 9 Oct 2026.

Scam of the day: Courier fraud (police or bank 'investigation').

What they want: Your bank cards, cash or PIN, collected from your door by a 'courier'.

How it works, the red flags and what to do: streetowl.co.uk/scam-avoidance-database

#ScamAwareness #FraudPrevention

StreetOwl scam avoidance: Someone official. Courier fraud (police or bank 'investigation'). Also: card collection scam · counterfeit note scam · detective call. What they want: Your bank cards, cash or PIN, collected from your door by a 'courier'. How it works: A caller says they are a police officer (they give a name, a rank and a collar number) or a bank investigator. Your card has been cloned, or bank staff are issuing counterfeit notes, and you can help the investigation. The moment they push you to act: Handing cash, cards or goods to the courier, or reading your PIN down the phone. Victims are often told to cut a card in half — with the chip intact. Red flags: The police will never ask you to withdraw money, hand over your cards, buy goods or take part in a secret operation. The caller asks you to call back to verify them, and the line does not properly clear. You are told not to discuss it with anyone. Where to report: Hang up. Wait five minutes or use another phone, then call 159 for your bank and 101 for the police (999 if the courier is on the way). Happening right now? Hang up or close the message first. Money sent: call 159 · Scam text: forward to 7726 · Report Fraud · Scotland: 101. streetowl.co.uk/scam-avoidance-database, 8 Oct 2026.

🍂 A little extra awareness.

Election season and Medicare Open Enrollment bring messages, calls, and offers.

Not all of them are bad. Not all of them are legitimate.
You don't have to be an expert to spot a warning sign.

Stop. Slow down. Verify.
