Warning: identity fraud & fake investment offers
This page is an official warning; take note of it if you have been offered savings, an investment or a placement in the name of AltaGroupe, Altafi 2, Alta Patrimoine or Altager.
What is happening
AltaGroupe has found that malicious individuals are fraudulently using its name, that of its subsidiaries Alta Patrimoine, Altafi 2 and Altager, the names of its directors, and sometimes its address, logo or forged documents, in order to offer third parties fake financial investments (savings, bonds, term deposits, crypto-assets, "guaranteed investments", etc.).
These acts may constitute fraud and identity theft. They are carried out with no connection whatsoever to the AltaGroupe group, which is itself a victim and has taken the appropriate steps with the authorities.
AltaGroupe and its direct subsidiaries never do this
- They do not cold-call individuals — by phone, email, SMS, social media or messaging apps.
- They offer no investment, savings, bond, account, discretionary mandate or placement to the public.
- They never request a transfer, a payment to an account, or banking details.
- They issue no sales brochure.
Verify before any payment
Before considering any payment, take the time to check the official sources — it is free and takes only a few minutes:
AMF blacklists
Autorité des marchés financiers — unauthorised websites and entities, including an "impersonation" category.
ORIAS & REGAFI
Official registers to check whether an intermediary or institution is genuinely authorised.
Always cross-check the name AND the registration number: scammers sometimes display genuine numbers… that belong to other companies.
