Intuit, Inc. is a major software company, makers of the very popular financial software Quicken, Quickbooks, TurboTax and others. Scammers are now targeting businesses with fake emails purporting to be from Intuit.
The following email, with minor variation (order number) was sent to me repeatedly at a scamwarners.com address with the following subjects:
-- Your Intuit.com Order Confirmation
-- Your Intuit.com Order Status
-- Your Intuit.com Invoice
-- Your Intuit.com Software Order
-- Please confirm your Intuit.com Order
The link in the email leads to a malware site which would install a program to steal personal information. It is a very dangerous scam!!
In reality, these emails are coming from Malaysia, not Intuit:
