Written by Paul Sweeney, Pension Scams Action Group Intelligence Business Lead, the blog sets out how the Regulator is “significantly boosting” its own intelligence on scams and working more closely with its partners to “stay one step ahead of scammers”.
The blog examines the Regulator’s role in leading the Pension Scams Action Group to deliver on its mission to prevent and disrupt pension scams, with intelligence experts from the Regulator being embedded within critical agencies, including the City of London Police and the National Economic Crime Centre.
