Alexander Forbes wishes to warn their members of fraudsters operating in the areas of Eldorado Park, Ennerdale and Pretoria.
In a recent press release it was said that the company had received reports that these fraudsters are promising to process pension claims from the company for a fee.
The release stated that Alexander Forbes wanted to confirm that these people were not contracted by them, as they will never ask someone to pay money upfront to process a claim. The company only uses authorised tracing agents to ensure members are traced to start the claim process.
The tracing agents will do the following:
• Identify themselves appropriately
• Ask potential beneficiaries to submit the relevant claim form
• Never ask you for any payment
Anyone approached by someone asking them to pay a fee before their claim can be processed should contact Alexander Forbes immediately on 0860 100 333.
