Dear QuickBooks Online Users, 🚨🔦🤝

We’ve noticed a concerning rise in phishing scams targeting QuickBooks Online users. These scams often masquerade as genuine Intuit correspondence. Please exercise caution and familiarize yourself with the following key points to ensure your data stays safe. Please take the time to read this article today. Our goal is to protect your confidential financial information.

Recognizing Phishing Attempts:

To Avoid Compromising Your Financial Data Do the Following:

• Be wary of emails asking for personal info. Intuit won’t ask for this via email.

• Authentic Intuit emails will come from addresses ending in “@intuit.com”.

• Any link within a genuine Intuit email will direct to an “intuit.com” address.

Identifying Legitimate Intuit Websites:

• All official Intuit sites end with “*intuit.com”. This includes sites like “quickbooks.intuit.com”.

• Be cautious of any unfamiliar formats or variations of the Intuit domain.

Handling Suspicious Emails:

• Be alert! Scammers will often pretend to be Intuit and may instruct actions like logging in or downloading ‘tools’.

• If you encounter such an email, DO NOT open or click any links.

• Head over to the Intuit Online Security Center to learn more and report suspicious emails.

• Forward the suspicious email to your ProAdvisor Accountant without taking any other action.

Avoiding Customer Support Scams:

• Beware of anyone claiming there’s an issue with your computer. Remember, Intuit won’t approach you to fix computer problems.

• Such scams aim to either extract money from you or steal your files.

Security is Our Collective Responsibility:

• Visit Intuit’s Online Security Center to stay updated on how to safeguard yourself from potential threats.

• Unsure about an email’s authenticity? Intuit Support can help ascertain if it’s genuine or if it should be sent to their security team. Find more info at👉🏽 Identify suspicious activity, phishing scams, and potential fraud (intuit.com)
