Buy nowHello,
I am looking to get a definitive answer in regards to an email. I noticed at the bottom of the email it states “Important Notice. This Notification is being sent to inform you of a critical matter concerning your current service, software, or billing. Please note that if you previously opted out of receiving marketing materials from Intuit, you may continue to receive notification similar to this communication that affect your service or software if you receive an email message that appears to come from Intuit but that’s you suspect is a fishing email please forward it immediately to [email address removed]
The email sender is : [email address removed].. These are payroll notices from 2018.
Could someone please inform me if this was a legit email or if it was a fraudulent Phishing attempt..
Thank you in advance.
Hello there, @cocoasrider. It is always wise to verify suspicious emails, especially those concerning critical service matters.
Here is how you can determine if that 2018 email was legitimate:
First, check the Sender's Email Address:
Next, examine the Email Content :
Once done, validate the links:
Finally, the quoted message you've mentioned. "Critical service, software, or billing notifications from Intuit". The presence of this text does not make the email fraudulent; however, it does not guarantee legitimacy.
If you still suspect the email was fraudulent:
Please let us know if you have any follow-up questions about spotting fraudulent attempts. We are always here to help and make everything secure.
Thank you for your reply.
Those emails pretty much fail ALL of those checks/precautions. The bottom of the email was a warning because the company was using software from Intuit payroll from 2013. Pretty outdated for 2018-2020. I have forwarded all of those notifications regarding my direct deposits to [email address removed] But I have not received a single reply. So that is quite confusing. Especially since at at least 4 of those direct depisit notifications were sent to a work email after i no longer had access to it. Which amounted to around $50.000. Signaling Payroll fraud. I have emails from Intuits work force payroll customer service stating the funds went to a different account than mine. When the bank is involved in this sort of fraud, it’s extremely difficult to prove, because everyone assumes that if the amounts are on your statements, then all is welll. But the old accounts do not reconcile in entirety. So definitely not “all is well”.
I was working very hard cleaning up and helping rebuild after a natural disaster those couple years; I regret being so naive not to have ever looked at the bottom of those emails.
Thanks again for the advice

…… Right great Idea. Did that over a year ago. What they told me was to even get answers or records for my own payroll, I would need a sub —p —na. You see i am sn identity theft and account takeover victim. This QB account was created with my information, but NOT by me. im a contractor not an accountant. Super fun trying to clean this mess up and fight very large and rich corporations. Ny favorite is when people say, you need sn accountant.. lol lol lol Coincidentally, It was a veteran accountant tgat did this, then fled to Canada after diverting quite a bit of funds.. luckily FINALLY someone actually listened long enough to this “outrageous” story, to realize it was very real and very true.. And now the Big regulators are wuickly moving it up the ladder and investigating the many parties involved. So, with that said, I cannot afford an accountant to help clean up 6-8 different accounts, all used in a diversion of assets embezzlement scheme, coupled with an amount of payroll fraud on a federal level. Todays Lesson: NEVER EVER have a bunch of bank accounts unless you know how to be extremely vigilant in daily reconciliation..
