Phishing, spam, spoofing, or hoaxing emails are a huge problem today. The best protection against these security risks is awareness and prevention.
Spot fake emails
Suspicious emails can sometimes be a scheme to get you to share your personal info. These scams come in different forms, but often look pretty convincing. Here are a few things to look for if you’re not sure an email came from Intuit.
- We’ll never ask for your personal info in an email.
- Our emails will always come from an email address that ends with @intuit.com. This includes @e.intuit.com.
- Any link we send you in an email will always be for an intuit.com address.

Got an Intuit email you aren't sure about? Check out our security notices for details of suspicious emails reported by other Intuit customers.
Warning: Suspicious emails will say they are from Intuit and may ask you to take actions like logging in, providing personal information, or downloading 'tools'. If you have received one of these emails, don't open it or access any of the links. Go to the Intuit Online Security Centre for more information. |
Avoid customer support scams
These scams work by convincing you there’s a problem with your computer, then offering to fix it. Intuit won’t reach out to you to fix a problem with your computer. These fraudsters are really after your money or files. Our security tips can help you avoid fake customer support scams.
Identify an official Intuit website
All official Intuit websites end in *intuit.com. A few examples include quickbooks.intuit.com, e3.intuit.com, and click.notifications.intuit.com.
