When processing a transfer request, trustees and administrators may be in a position to indentify the warning signs that suggest that pension liberation fraud is occurring. You may want to take steps to make members aware of the consequences of pension liberation fraud.

This could include providing members with our awareness leaflet which sets out the dangers of pension liberation fraud. We would also like to see the use of the pension liberation fraud insert in transfer packs for members become best practice.
