In
April 2015, the government introduced new pension freedoms, allowing anyone
aged 55 and over with a defined contribution pension to take all or part of
their retirement savings as a lump sum. Since then, pensions-related nuisance
calls are estimated to have increased by around 2.7million, as pension scammers
exploit the new rules to con hard-working consumers out of their retirement
savings
