Web Propulsion Hosting

This is great example of a phishing email. At first glance it looks legitimate, since we do business with Intuit. However, there are a couple of indicators which prove it didn't come from Intuit. First, note the email sender reads "Intuit Alert", this can be faked by anyone sending email. Second, the email address (see the red arrow) has Intuit spelled incorrectly. Be careful though, this can be spelled correctly and still be fake (spoofed) by the sender.

We advise our clients not to open email attachments unless you have verified with the sender the email was sent from the person you know. Even then, it's preferable to receive/send files using a service like Dropbox, Google Drive or Microsoft One Drive.

Phishing emails attempt to persuade the email recipient to give up their login credentials by presenting a form or web page that looks legitimate, but is indeed fake.
