Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @casey32. Let's review the email you received to protect you against potential fraud in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

If you have any hesitations about an email message, don't open it until you make sure it's from us. Suspicious emails can be a scheme to get you to share your personal information. Here are a few things to look for if you're not sure an email came from Intuit:

 

  • We’ll never ask for your personal details in an email.
  • Our emails will always come from an email address that ends with @intuit.com. It includes @e.intuit.com.
  • Any link we send you in an email will always be for an intuit.com address.

The return email address is [email address removed] which seems legit.  However, I called QB a while back and they say we have no balance.  Then I got this email the other day stating the account balance is going to collections. How can I find out the truth?  Thanks.

I have received 4 emails from quickbooks saying “your transaction cannot be completed” you only have x amount in your account. And it first it was like $12 and I just received to emails earlier for a $111. & $259 charge. It’s saying it was unsuccessful and that I need to add money but when I log into my account to try and close it out because I never use quickbooks it won’t let me. Thankfully nothing has come out of my bank but I don’t know if they’re scams or if someone is trying to charge my account

I am receiving emails stating my return did not go through but I never purchase items through QB. And then it says I owe money. I do not use any QB banking options. So I am not sure why I am receiving these emails.
