I received the following scam email recently and wanted to warn others! I do not have an account with this company and it all seems VERY fishy. Obviously, I did not click the link (and disabled it when sharing on my blog)!
As for the phishing email, here are the details:
FROM: INTUIT INC. <update@quickbooks.com>
SUBJECT: Important! Update your tax information!.
