If your business uses QuickBooks for accounting and invoicing, you’re not alone—and neither are the cybercriminals looking to exploit it. In recent months, scammers have stepped up their efforts to trick business owners and finance teams through fake QuickBooks emails, support calls, and fraudulent invoice links.
For companies across West Houston, these scams are not just annoying—they’re dangerous. That’s why Impress IT Solutions, a trusted IT and cybersecurity provider in the region, is helping businesses spot the scams, shut them down, and stay protected.
“QuickBooks is essential for many businesses, but it’s also become a common attack vector,” says the team at Impress IT Solutions. “We’ve seen scams that look incredibly convincing—our goal is to stop them before damage is done.”
What Do QuickBooks Scams Look Like?
Cybercriminals use several tactics to impersonate Intuit (the makers of QuickBooks) or trusted vendors:
📨 Phishing Emails
- Fake invoices or renewal notices
- “Suspicious activity” alerts urging you to log in
- Fake QuickBooks branding and links to malicious sites
📞 Phone Support Scams
- Calls claiming your QuickBooks license is expired or your account is locked
- Fraudsters pretending to be Intuit support, offering to “fix” the issue for a fee—or worse, remote access
🌐 Fake Login Pages
- Clicking a link in a scam email may take you to a lookalike QuickBooks login page, built to steal your username and password
🧾 Invoice & Payment Fraud
- Attackers impersonate vendors or employees, sending false invoices with fake bank routing numbers
The Cost of Falling for a QuickBooks Scam
If a QuickBooks scam succeeds, the damage can be severe:
- Unauthorized access to financial records
- Stolen banking credentials
- Wire fraud and fraudulent transfers
- Compromised vendor relationships
- Damage to your company’s financial integrity and trust
“We’ve seen businesses lose tens of thousands of dollars to a single fake invoice or support call,” says Impress IT’s cybersecurity lead.
