SUPERANNUATION FUND SCAM INVESTIGATION
Don’t lose your retirement savings to superannuation fraud.
As one of life’s most valuable investments, superannuation funds are frequently targeted by unscrupulous fraudsters. In addition to the large amounts of money held, advancements in technology have enabled these scammers to steal not only hard-earned savings but victims’ identities, too.
The consequences of such super fund scams are often devastating. If you suspect that you have been targeted by a superannuation scam, please take immediate action by contacting our renowned investigators. We will uncover actionable evidence to help you prosecute the culprit behind the crime and recover your retirement savings.
Types of super fund scam to watch out for
Identity theft
Identity theft super scams revolve around extracting personal information from the victim. Whether through email, social media, phone calls or physical mailboxes, scammers steal your identity with the ultimate aim of accessing your superannuation fund and the savings within it.
Imposter financial advisors
Some scammers pose as financial advisors or superannuation specialists to swindle targets out of a percentage or all of their retirement savings. Despite claiming to hold all of the required credentials, they do not have a legitimate licence and instead funnel funds into their own account behind the victim’s back.
Superannuation investment fraud
This scam targets self-managed super funds (SMSF) holders. Fraudsters convince victims to invest in illegitimate or illegal initiatives or industries by moving their super balance from a regulated sector or retail fund into an SMSF on the grounds that they will have more control over investments. Here, the scammer can either access the full amount or take a percentage of it as a ‘fee’ for their services.
Unlike other forms of super fraud, this type of scam tends to target large groups as opposed to individuals. This is often orchestrated through bogus seminars, ‘special’ offers or false advertisements.
Early withdrawal scams
These calculated scammers promise ‘proven’ ways to access your superannuation early. Victims are lured in by the claim that this early withdrawal will provide greater flexibility to repay debts or facilitate other expenditure.
In reality, you are only permitted to access your superannuation if you satisfy a condition of release. If you are approached and advised that you can access your superannuation ahead of your preservation age, it is likely a scam attempting to steal your personal information and life savings.
