Better Business Bureau Sounds Alarm About New Email Phishing Scam

If you have received an email with the subject line, "QuickBooks Support: Change Request," press delete.

According to the Better Business Bureau Northwest, this is the tactic being used by a new email phishing scam. Accounting Today reports that the email says it is a confirmation from Intuit that a business has changed its name. The email contains a link that claims to cancel the request. Victims that click on the link are directed to a site that downloads malware to their device. The cyber criminals can then capture passwords and other personal information from a device.

To not fall victim to such phishing schemes, the Better Business Bureau advises businesses to:

• Always check the reply email address in these types of messages.
