In a belated attempt to limit the damage of G Osborne's pension 'reforms' the Government is to ban cold calling texts and emails plugging scam 'investments'
But they still haven't said when... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40974943
PS: and it won't include foreign call centres

I suppose this is worse than useless as well because it will only ban those companies based in Britain. So the legitimate companies will be banned, wheras the scammers will carry on regardless.
We need to remember why the restrictions on people cashing in their pensions early, (which Osborne cast aside) were made in the first place.“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” --Upton Sinclair0
