A ban on pension cold calls should be extended to emails and text messages, says the PFS and an adviser who began the campaign.

The Pensions Regulator has revealed it is looking to work with the Information Commissioner to see how it might crackdown on cold calling as part of a project to tackle scammers.

A High Court has handed a 15 year ban to a director who operated investment scams that lost consumers at least £13.3 million.

Rising numbers of people aged 55 or above are being targeted by scammers by phone, text or email, polling has suggested.
