Christopher Graham: 'Pensions selling is the next PPI scandal'
People's private financial data, including their pension details, is ending up in the hands of potential fraudsters, all without the knowledge of the person, an investigation by the Mail on Sunday has found.

He urged people not to take major financial decisions "on the back of a phone call", adding that pensions selling "is really the next PPI scandal".
