spam message re old pension with tax free lump sum

23 Feb 2013's MoneyBox BBC Radio 4 Programme continued to discuss the ongoing Pension Liberation

Scam with the Minister responsible for pensions, Steve Webb. Listen to what the government is

doing to stop this £4 million a week pensions scam.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01qspjg PENSION UNLOCKING
For the third week we return to the growing crime of persuading people to transfer their pension

savings into recently registered pension schemes and taking huge fees for illegally letting them

have some of their money back. This week - the legal aspects. Is the law adequate to help

trustees stop the transfer when they suspect a scam? And if not, will the Government pass new

laws to protect desperate people from the crooks - and themselves? We speak to a pensions lawyer

and Pensions Minister Steve Webb.

Hi George

I keep getting unsolicited texts from Quck Review on 60066.  Even though I text back saying OUT or STOP, the texts keep coming. I'm registered with the TPS, but to no available.

Don't text stop, it will charge you, it's a scam to make you text a premium number.

How old are you
