call from quickbooks reguarding account

Hello, I received a call from QuickBooks Account at [Removed], saying my account payment needs to be updated.  I looked at my company account and payment is up to date.  Then I was told I need to update to QuickBooks pro 2024.  I currently have QuickBooks pro 2023, desktop.  They scheduled a time for someone to call me back to deal with situation.

 

Is the call legitimate or a fraud?

It's fraud.  QB will never call you for payment, credit card info, unless you ask them to contact you. They will just lock you out of your account if there is a problem with anything.

Just ignore it. It's just a scam. You can also consider going to CAMPS and changing your phone number there and/or renewing your license through a reseller. That way, you won't have to worry about your subscription anymore.
