Wish I had read this sooner. This just happened to me Friday. They contacted me after I posted my question to the community. I don't know how they were able to get my phone number. They sounded legitimate. I allowed them access and was told the same story about 84% data corruption. and they attempted to "extort" money to fix the problem. That is when red flags went up. I said I would have to check with my franchise abut my current support coverage then has my outside IT guy check them out. He discovered many more red flags. It is very concerning that this has been reported numerous times, yet Intuit is unable to stop them.
