Andera Partners is issuing an urgent warning regarding ongoing fraudulent activities involving identity theft. Be aware that sophisticated phishing techniques are being used to deceive individuals.

Fraudsters are currently impersonating Andera Partners, including Andera Co-Invest, its employees, and management team members. These scams involve unsolicited invitations to invest in fictitious term accounts and other fake savings products. These fraudulent solicitations are often conducted through fake email addresses and phone calls.

We urge you to exercise extreme caution if you receive any such offers. Andera Partners does not offer term accounts to the public and never solicits investments through phone calls or emails.

Criminals are constantly developing new ways to defraud victims. Their goal is to illicitly obtain your financial information by encouraging you to make digital transactions.

Unexpected Contact: Be suspicious of any unsolicited investment offers, especially if they appear to come from Andera Partners executives or board members.
Suspicious Email Addresses: Always verify the sender’s email address. Andera Partners employee email addresses follow a strict format: firstnameinitial.lastname@anderapartners.com. General inquiries should come from addresses like departmentname@anderapartners.com. Be wary of any variations or different domain names.
Requests for Immediate Action: Fraudulent messages often create a sense of urgency, pressuring you to act quickly. Legitimate investment opportunities rarely require immediate decisions.
Links Requesting Personal Information: Never click on links that ask you to provide sensitive data or financial information. Andera Partners will never request confidential information through unsolicited emails or links.
Online Financial Demands: Do not respond to any online requests for funds or financial transactions. Andera Partners does not solicit investments in this manner.
