We would like to draw your attention to an increase in the number of fraud and scam attempts via fraudulent e-mails sent by people either impersonating Bouygues SA and/or its employees or senior executives.
We urge you to be extremely vigilant in the face of such behaviour.
Please note that Bouygues SA only uses the following Top Level Domain (TLD) name for emails: bouygues.com
Consequently, any other domain name is not a legitimate domain name of
Bouygues SA for sending email
If you are the victim of an attempted fraud or scam, we recommend that you cease all contact and report the attempt to the authorities via the Ministry of the Interior’s dedicated platform: https://www.cybermalveillance.gouv.fr/
Bouygues SA is taking steps to combat these practices, but your vigilance is essential.
If in doubt, please contact Bouygues SA at: presse@bouygues.com
No.1: usurpation of the Bouygues domain name
Malicious third parties are registering domain names containing the Bouygues name. These third parties are then able to create an active sales site and/or a site that mimics the corporate identity and style guide of Bouygues SA. They can also create email addresses based on these domain names.
For example, the following domain names have not been registered by Bouygues SA:
- Bouygues.sa
- bouygues.group
- bouygues.in
- bouygues.top
- bouygues.cf
- bouygue.store
- Bouygues-development.com
- Bouygues.me
- Buygues.fr
- Bouygues-info.com
- Bouyguesenergiefrances.com
- Bouygues-groupe.store
- Bouygues.store
- Marybouygues.com
- Bouyguess.com
- Infobouygues.com
- Boygues.fr
- Bouyguessafrance.com
- Bouygues.online
No.2: phishing
Fraudsters may send text messages and/or emails pretending to be from Bouygues SA to lure victims to a fraudulent site where they will be prompted to enter certain information (request to update the victim’s banking data for verification purposes or following a technical incident, etc.).
Fraudulent sites are created to deceive people and win their trust, so it is common for them to take on the appearance of the usurped site and/or display a URL address that is identical apart from a few characters.
No.3: fraudulent orders for goods – identity theft
Fraudsters may send texts or emails to suppliers posing as Bouygues SA and/or company employees in an attempt to obtain deliveries of goods.
To do this, they may use the names of real employees or senior executives, or made-up names and email addresses similar to those at Bouygues SA.
