    What is the name of the broker that moved your plan to aegon. Check them against the fca register and ensure that they are authorised. The chances are that if they moved your money to aegon that you have not been scammed.

    Have you received the documents from aegon to show the transfer took place. If in doubt call up aegon and clarify that they hold your pension funds.

    Aegon is a mainstream pension provider. A major brand name. Scams dont use mainstream products/options.
