Attempted fraud and impersonation of Tikehau Capital

Tikehau Capital has been informed of the existence of fraudulent practices by people impersonating some of its employees, inciting private individuals to invest in fictitious savings products, called by the fraudsters, for example, "guaranteed capital and return passbooks".

Tikehau Capital advises anyone who is the subject of such solicitations to be extremely vigilant.

These steps constitute attempts at deception, which can take the form of phishing techniques aimed at improperly recovering personal data, or deceptive solicitations aimed at soliciting a transaction by means of a bank transfer or dematerialized payment.

These approaches are carried out by e-mail or telephone canvassing under the name of Tikehau Capital. While these may appear serious at first glance, there are a number of details that should alert you to potential fraud.

Adopting the right reflexes

Never click on a link in an e-mail asking you to log in in order to reactivate a bank account, verify suspicious transactions or enter bank details.

Always check the sender's address. Our communications are always sent to e-mail addresses ending in @tikehaucapital.com (not .eu; .fr or any other extension).

The e-mail addresses of Tikehau Capital employees are exclusively in the format initialprenomnom@tikehaucapital.com,ou@tikehauim.com. Any other address ending with another extension such as @tikehaucapital.eu or other is false and exposes you to an attempt at fraud.

Tikehau Capital strongly urges you to beware of overly attractive offers that promise a very high, risk-free return and require you to make a decision or take action quickly. Under no circumstances do we offer passbooks with guaranteed capital and returns, as proposed by the recent fraud attempt.

Generally speaking, Tikehau Capital does not offer banking products, whether for investment or savings.

We also recommend consulting the AMF (Autorité des Marchés Financiers) blacklist of all fraudulent companies (https://www.amf-france.org/fr/espace-epargnants/proteger-son-epargne/listes-noires-et-mises-en-garde).
