This post is about several emails I have received recently asking for me to update tax related information that Intuit has. There are some problems with this, not the least of which is that the email is not from Intuit even though it seems to be. You might be fooled by one of these emails if you have used any software from Intuit, such as Quicken or Quickbooks. Reminder – these emails are NOT coming from Intuit!
I have included the text from three different emails including the email address that each is supposedly coming from, followed by the link that you would be sent to if you clicked on it. As with most of this type of emails, someone wants to trick you into giving your information to them. At the bottom of this post is a link to another article about these emails.
As usual, please be careful when surfing the web, and thanks for stopping by….
