How do I report phishing emails?

There is NO contact us when got to the link you provided. I guess intuit doesn’t care about fraud. They Just give you the run around.  Extremely frustrating

How do I report phishing emails?

I think it is worse than "Intuit doesn't care" when we attempt to report suspicious activities. Why is it with the 8 different e-mail accounts (some business, some personal) that the ONLY scam e-mails trying to phish, scam, eheat, etc., that I receive are in the e-mail account that I have linked to my Intuit account.  How is it that the 7 other e-mails accounts do not receive the scam/Intuit e-mails. The answer is, of course, obvious. Either Intuit was hacked and our information was stolen (and they are not providing the required notices, protections, etc.) or Intuit sold our information to dicey folks who are using the information or have sold it to criminals.

Your safety is our priority, I_LOATHE_INTUIT.

 

I understand the importance of protecting your account from phishing and malicious emails. 

 

I confirm that first name_ last name@ intuit.com is indeed an agent's Intuit email address. We have our escalations team who will personally reach out to customers with open cases that only they can resolve. 

 

As long as the email received from @intuit.com doesn't have any extra characters and spaces, it's legit. You also want to read this link to learn more about how to protect yourself from security risks: Recognize and report suspicious emails (Phishing)

 

To ensure your data is well protected, I'd recommend reporting this to our security team. I'll show you how:
 

  1. Go to the Online Security Center page.
  2. Click Contact US.
  3. Look for Report fake email (or phishing email) and then click on it.


For future reference, check out our available self-help resources in the QuickBooks Articles hub. You may find related posts that answer your questions. You can also search for articles with steps such as managing your Intuit account, account management, and a lot more. 


Please know that I'm just a comment away should you need further assistance in managing emails. Keep safe always!

How do I report phishing emails?

Are customers aware that there may be an email hidden under the display email?   They would be able to see the functional email by right clicking on the displayed email and opening properties.

How do I report phishing emails?

I'm here to help ensure you're able to get in touch with our QuickBooks Support. YDP Norma.

 

When a browser stored a lot of caches, it could cause problems like latency issues. As an initial step, you can press the F5 key on your keyboard to refresh the page.

 

If you're still getting the same result, we can do some of the basic troubleshooting steps. We can use these shortcut keys depending on the browser you're using:

 

  • Google Chrome: Press CTRL + Shift + N.
  • Safari: Press Command + Shift + N.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Press CTRL + Shift + P.

 

Open the test drive and Contact Us from there. If it rectifies the issue, go back to your main portal and clear its cache to remove the browser's history or we can press CTRL+Shift and Delete key on your keyboard altogether. We may also try accessing your account using another supported browser.

 

To know more about how we handle suspicious activity, check out these articles. In the same link, we can find lists of emails or customer support scams so we can avoid them.

 

Identify suspicious activity, phishing scams, and potential fraud.

Please get back to me if you have any other concerns. I want to make sure I've got you covered, YDP Norma. Have a good one.

How do I report phishing emails?

Clicking on the "Report a fake email (or phishing)" button on https://security.intuit.com/contact-us as advised does not lead me to information on how to report such email. It throws up a box requiring me to set up an account on an email system. (See attached screenshot.) I've tried unsuccessfully to complete that process with my Yahoo email address, so I cannot access the guidance I need. Please just tell me how to report phishing rather than putting an insurmountable barrier in my way. Thank you.

How do I report phishing emails?

It's our top priority to secure and keep your account safe, @kotryna1.

 

For instances like this, I encourage you to report the fraudulent activity or the email to our Intuit Security team by sending an email to spoof@intuit.com.

 

Otherwise, I suggest reaching out to our Customer Care Team since the Community is a public forum, and we'll need to collect some personal information to pull up your account. They have all the necessary tools to investigate this further.

 

Furthermore, I recommend browsing this article to help you easily recognize official Intuit correspondence and websites: Identify Suspicious Activity, Phishing Scams, and Potential Fraud.

 

I'm also adding this article to help you learn more about how we handle your company's information and keep it secure: Privacy and security in QuickBooks. It also has other links related to security that provide you with tips on this matter.

 

Please know that I'm just a reply away if you have any other questions about this concern or with QuickBooks. I'm always here to back you up. Keep safe.

How do I report phishing emails?

Thank you very much for your help, Kevin C.!

   I do hope Intuit will simplify matters for all users by just sharing that reporting address directly rather than making us jump through hoops to access it.

   I will follow up with the Customer Care Team when they are back in the office on Monday. The apparent phishing email came from an address ending in @intuit.com, which should be legit according to the article you cited, so the matter does bear further investigation.

  Thanks again for your time, your attention, and your help!

How do I report phishing emails?

Thanks again, Kevin C., but as soon as I got done thanking you for your help, I found that the email I had sent to [email address removed] as you directed bounced as undeliverable. See the attached screenshot. What is the correct reporting address, please?

How do I report phishing emails?

Thanks for coming back with your screenshot, @kotryna1. I've tried to email myself too and got the same response. 

 

At this point, you'll want to contact us directly by visiting this link: Privacy and Security. Select the Report Security Issue tab, then click the Report a fake email

 

For future reference, I'd recommend checking the Manage your privacy page to secure your account. 

 

Let us know if you still have more security and privacy concerns. We're always around to help.

How do I report phishing emails?

Thanks for trying, but unfortunately none of that is helpful. You have directed me to the very link which throws up the Windows email app registration process which I am unable to successfully complete, as I described above. That is the very barrier that prompted me to post my question here.

   Since you suggested it, I did visit the privacy settings page. I saw nothing there to help with phishing emails, but while I was there, my attempt to set my marketing preferences led to a dead end.  Please see screenshot. Did that happen because I'm in the UK at the moment, or was it yet another example of poorly designed systems at Intuit?

   If Intuit is serious about the abuse of their name and the abuse of their customers, they should provide an easy and direct way to report phishing emails, as many other companies do. I've now spent hours on what should have been a straightforward process. It shouldn't be this hard.

   That said, do you have any other suggestions on how to report a phishing email? Thanks again for trying to help.

How do I report phishing emails?

Thanks yet again, but that is yet another dead end route. I am an Intuit customer, but my product is Turbotax, not Quickbooks, so I cannot log in as you directed. See screenshot below. Any other ideas on how to report a phishing email? This is getting old, and I am close to giving up.

Thanks for joining the thread, @kotryna1. I'll point you in the right direction to get this sorted out so you can report a phishing email.

 

Before anything else, I'd like to commend you for being aware of phishing. You're doing the right thing in wanting to report it. I'd suggest reaching out to Turbo Tax's Customer Care Team. They have the tools to verify and determine if it's a possible phishing email that needs to be forwarded to a security team for further assessment.

Why not just say "forward it to [email address removed]" instead of giving us 3 steps to find this email address?
