Help needed quick : is NEST pension a scam?

snarlsbukowski

I left my job at Starbucks a couple of weeks ago.
A week after leaving that job I received a letter from NEST pension scheme informing me my employer Starbucks (Soul Coffee House) had automatically enrolled me onto the NEST pension scheme and that I have until the 16th (tomorrow) to opt-out.

Is this a scam?
I have been wary because in order to opt out I must visit the NEST website and provide my date of birth and national insurance number.

Please help.

Dont know what website youve got, but the scheme itself isnt a scam. Maybe take the link from the Gov website.

I want to opt out of the scheme. Will I be able to do so even though I am doing so a day past the deadline?

i would have thought that starbucks need to advise Nest that you're no longer an employee, & you won't be included on the scheme now (unless you can make voluntary contributions?).
