Does Intuit call users with fraud protection about attempted withdrawals and ask for approval or denial?

I just received 3 calls in a row from the same phone number Intuit used to call me earlier after I asked for a support callback. It was an automated voice claiming it was from Intuit Fraud Prevention stating that a specific dollar amount had been attempted as a withdrawal from my account, all asked me to approve or deny by pressing 1 or 2. Was this legit? Seemed like a well-crafted phishing attempt.
