At Neot, we are fully committed to ensuring the security and trust of our clients and partners. Unfortunately, like many companies, we face identity theft attempts by malicious individuals. Their goal? To deceive their targets by using fake email addresses, fraudulent financial products, or falsified documents.
A Context Where Vigilance Is Essential
Cyberattacks and fraud are on the rise. Every day, malicious individuals attempt to obtain personal data to extort funds through various means: fraudulent emails, suspicious phone calls, or misleading letters.
In this context, staying informed and attentive is crucial. We want to support you by helping you identify these fraud attempts and adopt the right reflexes to protect yourself.
Identity Theft Targeting Neot
We have recently identified fraud attempts involving fake representatives of Neot. These fraudsters use:
🔹 Fake email addresses and domain names that imitate ours (see indicative list below).
🔹 Fake documents using the names and signatures of our executives.
🔹 Fraudulent investment and crowdfunding offers, even though Neot never offers such products and does not deal with individual investors.

Our Tips to Avoid Fraud Attempts
To effectively protect yourself against scams and identity theft, we recommend following these best practices:
✅ Never respond to unsolicited requests. If you receive an unexpected call or email offering an investment, be cautious and take the time to verify the sender’s identity.
✅ Never share your personal information by email or on unverified websites. Avoid disclosing sensitive data such as your phone number, email address, ID documents, bank details, or IBAN to unverified contacts.
✅ Beware of offers that seem too good to be true. If an opportunity promises high returns with no risk, it is likely a scam. All investments involve some level of risk.
✅ Do not blindly trust information received by phone, mail, or email. Fraudsters use highly convincing identity theft techniques. Always verify the official contact details of the company in question.
✅ Do not give in to pressure or urgency. Scammers often play on emotions and urgency to push you into acting quickly. Always take the time to think before making a decision.
✅ Verify information through official sources. Before committing to anything, look up the official contact details of the concerned company (phone, email, website, postal address) and contact them directly through these channels to confirm the legitimacy of the person contacting you.
