Pension Providers That Lie

THE video above is hopefully a good enough roundup of what's happening or has been happening at Sirius 'Open Source' when it comes to pensions alone. We've been covering the subject every month since December and the latest is a whole mini-series about "Sirius 'Open Source' Pensiongate". Earlier today we finally named one of the culprits (after months of frustrating lies) and the above plays a portion from a 26-minute phonecall (0:34-1:00, 7:06-7:40, 15:40 onward, 18:10-20:10, 21:05-25:03), basically skipping personal details, waiting time, and the duration they put me on hold (for over 8 minutes). The person who picked the call said he "spoke to a colleague of mine" and insisted that it "takes more investigation" or it's "longer to process". But it has been 20+ days since that call and his promise of letters within 5 working days wasn't fulfilled. To make matters worse, I've contacted them by E-mail several times since then and they're not even replying.
"Do not take anything for granted. Many of these things are like Ponzi schemes or scams."The conclusion of the series will be, no matter where you live and irrespective of how "reputable" a firm may be, if you have a pension you need to check that it is really there; either the employer or the pension providers can run away with the money without notifying anybody. Do not take anything for granted. Many of these things are like Ponzi schemes or scams. Compare to these, "bullshit jobs" are reasonably benign. ⬆
