Fraudulent Activity Warning
Effective Date: May 12, 2025
Introduction
Founded in 1968, TA Associates Management, L.P. (“TA”) is a leading global private equity firm focused on scaling growth in profitable companies. TA has more than 300 employees across offices in Boston, Menlo Park, Austin, London, Mumbai and Hong Kong. Due to our global size and reputation, as with many well-known institutions, our name and brand may occasionally be exploited by bad actors through fake websites, social media sites, phishing scams, emails, phone calls and other communications. These bad actors may impersonate TA and TA employees in an attempt to conduct these scams or fraudulent activities. We encourage you to remain vigilant and confirm you are communicating with TA and not imposters.
Guidelines for Communicating with TA
To help protect you from falling victim to a fraud or scam, please note the following:
- Emails from TA will only come from an “@ta.com” email address. Be cautious about responding to unsolicited e-mails that appear to have come from a TA email address, but actually come from another e-mail address at another domain name. Likewise, please do not send e-mails intended for TA employees to anyone with an e-mail address other than an authorized “@ta.com” e-mail address. TA does not permit our employees and authorized representatives to send or receive work-related e-mails from personal webmail accounts or any other address.
- The only approved TA website is “ta.com”, the only approved TA LinkedIn site is “linkedin.com/company/ta-associates” and the only approved TA Twitter/X sites are “twitter.com/taassociates” and “x.com/taassociates”.
- TA personnel are only affiliated with authorized TA offices, which are listed on our locations page.
- TA does not solicit investments, initiate funds or investment transfers or verify users or investments via any messaging platforms or apps, including without limitation Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp or Signal.
- If you are an existing investor, please do not share your TA login or password with anyone, including anyone who claims to be from or associated with TA. Certain TA online environments are private and available only to investors through secure login procedures. Other than allowing you to use your password and login to enter an authorized site, TA will never ask you for your password or login information.
If you have any questions about the above, the security of any TA communication, or have concerns about a website or e-mail communication that you suspect may be fraudulent, please contact us at inquiries@ta.com.
