Warning Regarding Web Fraud and Phishing
TPG is a leading global alternative asset management firm founded in San Francisco in 1992 with over $200 billion of assets under management and investment and operational teams in 31 offices globally.
While we are proud of our success, an unfortunate consequence of our size and global reputation is the misuse of our name, brands and reputation by cyber criminals and fraudsters seeking to make illicit financial gains or to steal sensitive information.
Fraudsters may pose as TPG employees using fake web sites, "phishing" e-mails from lookalike e-mail addresses, phone calls, or even impostor accounts on popular instant messaging services.
In particular, beware of scams purportedly affiliated with TPG soliciting financial investments with promises of extraordinary returns at little to no risk. These “high yield investment programs” are frauds and are unfortunately quite common.
