Pension Payments at Risk - Part 2

In a previous post, we noted that there has been a security breach of some type whereby pension payments were diverted from the bank account to which they were supposed to go to a scammer's bank account.* 

Exactly how this breach occurred, and why the victims' were not immediately notified, remains murky.

The UC Retirement Administration Service Center (RASC) has now posted a warning on its website:

https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/employee-news/staying-safe-in-a-digital-world/

It instructs pensioners immediately to contact RASC and gives this contact information:

Contact RASC

1-800-888-8267 (international callers: 1-510-987-0200)
Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (PT)

Apparently, it is assumed that scammers don't work evenings, nights, or weekends.
