Pension scams and
online security

Fraudsters target your money, data and identity in sophisticated ways. Fraud is about 40% of all crime in the UK and about 3 million people are victims of fraud each year. It’s become so common that you’re more likely to be a victim of fraud or a cyber scam than any other offence. Businesses are also targeted.

Report fraud

Think you’ve been a victim? If your Nest account has been subject to fraud or you’ve accidentally given away your details, tell us straight away and report it to Action Fraud.

If you receive suspicious emails, forward them to phishing@nestpensions.org.uk and then delete them. Run your anti-virus apps if you’ve opened any links or attachments.

Protect yourself

It can be hard to spot a scam. We work hard to keep your online data secure so your personal information doesn’t fall into the hands of scammers.
