SCAM CALL?

Has anyone else get a phone call from [Removed], claiming to be with Quickbooks support? Heavy Indian accent man who asks for the person in charge of the Quickbooks account.  When I ask them to verify the account number they are calling about so I know they are legitimate he quickly says he as limited information and can transfer me to an account specialist.  I called the number back, they answered "Quickbooks Support team", but the fact that they called not knowing the name of the Quickbooks contact person (which is listed on the account) is a big red flag.
