"Jacob" from this company just called me. Came up as 'Anonymous' on the caller-id. I told him I need a legitimate phone number for security purposes and that I would call back. He gave me a phone number ending in #9213 - when you Google this number, a closed company in the midwest shows up.
He gave me the same spiel as others have posted. Our "annual" QuickBooks Desktop somethingsomething expired. I said no, I just paid that 6 days ago. This same company had called me about a week or two prior to this also giving me this same line. I said I would call QuickBooks and sort it out.
I called QB again today and they confirmed our account is just fine. Everything is current, and there is no 'annual fee' as we pay for service monthly. Additionally, I just updated our company file with new CC info, as the previous card had expired.
I called this company back and informed them I was recording the call. This time, the guy said I wasn't allowed to do that. I said I am definitely allowed to do that as long as I inform him of such. He fought with me about it, and I said I need to be taken off your calling list. He asked for more information, to which I declined. I said remove our number, I just spoke to QB and they confirmed our account is fine so clearly you are not legit. The three times I've spoken with this "company" it has been individuals with a heavy Indian accent. Likely robo-dialing and trying to make you think there's something wrong with your QB.
