Protect Your Super from High-Pressure Sales Tactics (August 25)

Relevant For:

Superannuation members considering fund changes or approached by unsolicited super offers

Key Points:

  • Cold calls or unsolicited ads about your super can be high-pressure sales tactics.
  • Promises of high returns or claims of underperformance may be misleading.
  • “Free” super checks or lost super services are often hooks; the ATO offers these for free.
  • Only deal with licensed advisers and take your time with decisions.
  • Hang up on unknown callers and never share personal details unless you initiated contact.
  • Report suspicious activity to your fund or ASIC and verify claims directly with your provider.
