Phishing scams targeting QuickBooks users have become increasingly sophisticated. Cybercriminals often impersonate QuickBooks customer support, calling unsuspecting users with stories like:
- “Renew Your QuickBooks License”
- “Resolve a Billing Issue”
- “Exclusive Discount (Only Available Now!)”
Key Tip: QuickBooks will never call you for these reasons. If you receive a suspicious call, hang up immediately.
