Web Fraud and Phishing Warning

The Skain Group L.L.C. is a leading security and consulting firm that works with clients across multiple regions and sectors. An unfortunate consequence of our reputation is the misuse of our name, brands and reputation by impostors and frauds publishing fake websites and engaging in “phishing” scams seeking personal or confidential information, including by posting fake job offers on legitimate websites such as LinkedIn.

When communicating with TSG through digital media, please:

  • Confirm you are visiting a TSG authorized website. TSG’s only authorized websites are posted through the below listed domains. No other website domains are authorized.

Furthermore, no vendors are authorized by TSG to request or receive information through websites.

  • Do not share your password and login ID with anyone, including anyone from TSG. Certain TSG online environments are private, available only to clients through secure login procedures. If you forget your password or login, we will issue you new ones.

  • Do not communicate or deal with personnel who are not affiliated with an authorized office. All authorized office locations are listed on our contact page. No other office locations are authorized offices of TSG.

  • Do not send e-mails to anyone with an address other than authorized TSG e-mail addresses. TSG does not permit our employees and authorized representatives to send or receive work related e-mails from personal accounts like gmail.com or yahoo.com; or conduct business over chat platforms such as GChat or Skype.
