To our Valued Clients and all Government Contractors & Grantees:
ReliAscent has learned of a new QuickBooks phishing scam, and we want QuickBooks users to beware of any email in your inbox that states: “QuickBooks Support: Change Request”.
While it appears this email is coming from Intuit, it is really a phishing email that could result in damage to your computer. The Better Business Bureau Northwest (BBB) has warned consumers of a phishing scam imitating Intuit’s QuickBooks accounting programs. The email comes with a subject line of “QuickBooks Support: Change Request”. The body of the email contains a link that invites you to cancel the request, which takes you to an external site and downloads malware on your computer.
Please be aware that this does not originate from Intuit, QuickBooks, or anyone with your best interest in mind.
If you do see this email, please delete it immediately or forward on to spoof@intuit.com.
On a more broad topic of spotting Phishing scams in the future, here are some standard procedures to follow before opening a suspicious email:
More information on the phishing scam can be found at the BBB’s link below:
Sincerely,
ReliAscent
