A recent ad in the Houston Chronicle finance pages (8/10/08) suggests it is possible to rollover money from one's current, active 401K. It directs you to a website, www.RetireRx.com/safer401K, where a brief video implies this is possible and invites you to sign up for the "free information". I was, of course, intrigued by the possibility of transferring my 401K funds to an individual IRA where I could build a low-fee couch potato portfolio instead of paying the typical high fees and overhead of most 401Ks. I smelled a rat, however, and did not sign up, fearing it might be a come-on that would subject me to spam and/or calls from "financial planners". Does anyone have more info on this? I this a legitimate option or a scam to get my personal info?
