Here’s another set of spams claiming to come from Inuit. An earlier batch asked me to provide my tax information. This batch confirms my non-existent purchases with links to download my order, reorder checks, and submit feedback. It looks official, with an Intuit logo and nice formatting. I got 6 variants today, with subject lines:
Your Intuit.com invoice.
Your intuit.com order confirmation.
Your intuit.com order status.
Your intuit.com order.
Your Intuit.com software order.
Your Quickbooks software order.
The senders were:
risk_manager@bbb.org
manager@bbb.org
risk@bbb.org
service@bbb.org
The links in the messages lead to:

The text varied slightly but was along the lines of this one:

I got 13 more of these this morning. Even if these were totally convincing, wouldn’t getting a batch of them at once be a major tip-off?
I just got two that were similar & they were good enough to get me scratching my head. Especially with identity thieves, I was a bit concerned. The only thing screwy about the messages were they were tagged support@careerbuilder.com. Everything else looked reasonably legit. Makes me wonder where the 800 number goes?
Wow, talk about a (almost) lucky hit for them. I just started a new job, had to upgrade Quickbooks, after much discussion bought locally, but did get at least get one quote online, I just got access to the business credit card, the upgrade had lots of problems, and three departments were involved. The right hand wasn’t sure what the left hand was doing.
And then this shows up in the credit card owners email. Who has been approving a lot of software purchases by me in the past week. And he would normally download something like this to help me out.
The links appear to be harmless but talk about the planets aligning for that one in a million hit, for the bad guys!
