Quickbooks Desktop paid annually AND another charge every 3 years?

In case anyone else gets this call, I called Intuit Sales and they assured me that the annual license includes the software, not added purchases. Probably was a phising call and email.

Well done on verifying your subscription with us, dt126a. Yes, I agree that the call could potentially be a phishing attempt. With this, I'd recommend notifying our Security Center to prevent this from happening.

@dt126a 

I received a call now telling me that I also have to pay for the Desktop Software every three years.

It's a scam call. Ignore it or login to CAMPS and change your phone number. Intuit won't bother calling you to offer or remind you anything.
