Many scammers rely on Robocalls to scam their victims. Robocalls are pre-recorded calls that are made using an automated system. Unfortunately, they are often used for fraudulent purposes, including investment and Pension scams. Here are some ways to protect yourself from robocall scams:

If you receive a call from a number you do not recognize, let it go to voicemail. Do not answer calls from unknown numbers. Legitimate callers will often leave a message, whereas robocalls typically will not.

If you answer a call and suspect it is a robocall, hang up immediately. Do not press any buttons or engage with the caller, as this could lead to further harassment or scams.

Consider using call-blocking software or apps that can help to identify and block known robocallers.

In some countries, such as the United States, you can register your phone number with the National Do Not Call Registry. This can help to reduce the number of telemarketing and robocalls you receive.

If you receive a robocall scam, report it to the relevant regulatory body or law enforcement agency. This can help to identify and shut down the scammers and prevent others from falling victim to the same scam.

Remember, legitimate organizations will not contact you via robocalls to solicit investments or pensions. If you receive such a call, it is likely a scam, and you should take steps to protect yourself.
