Approached by someone who claims you can withdraw your super early? 🤨 Don’t be caught out – in most cases, it’s illegal.
Earlier this week, a New South Wales man was sentenced to jail for arranging the unlawful early release of super for a number of people in the community, and then skimming money off the top. Many of the victims were experiencing financial difficulties when friends said they ‘knew someone’ who could help. Instead, they got caught in an illegal scheme and robbed of their hard-earned funds.
Super is money set aside to provide for your retirement, so there are limited circumstances where you can withdraw it early. Always check with us first and beware of people promoting early release schemes.
