The Women Against State Pension Inequality campaign has issued a warning over a spike in fake compensation claims online, as people are urged to be vigilant.
The Women Against State Pension Inequality campaign has issued a warning about a surge in fraudulent compensation claim forms appearing online. The group is concerned that those affected by changes to the State Pension age could be deceived by these scams.
The PHSO recommended compensation equivalent to Level 4 on its banding scale - between £1,000 and £2,950. This may lead some women to believe the scams are genuine as it's the same figure quoted on the websites. "The need for compensation is so urgent that it is the most vulnerable women who are most at risk and the government's continued dithering is now opening up a space for scammers to target them.
