Today, warn financial watchdogs, America's pensioners are in danger of accepting what can sometimes be a comparably smelly deal: "Sell us your pension benefits," say advertisement, "and we'll give you one big lump sum now, up front."For somebody who's facing doctor bills or has missed a mortgage payment, a lump sum can be tempting.
