How are Indian scammers getting info on QB users?

No doubt all of us get scam calls all the time. But after switching back to QB just over a month ago, I already have Indian scammers spamming my landline with calls to "update my payment information".

 

I don't think there's any way they could have got that information from something I have done.

 

This causes me to wonder; is QB or one or more of its third party partners selling our info?

 

I think that I ought not to have to deal with scammers from ****thole countries as a consequence of doing business with parties who are apparently monetizing my information and laundering it to P a jeet*stan.

Did you convert data from QB Desktop and have you contacted Support in the last 6 months?

How are Indian scammers getting info on QB users?

I did not convert from desktop. I've only talked to sales. I last had QB desktop 6 years ago. I haven't had any calls like this until today.

I did not convert from desk top. And I've only spoken with Sales.

 

The last time I had QB desktop was about six years ago. Did not get any of these calls in the intervening time. I started QB Online in January.
