This SCAM is still very much alive.  Just called the number and spoke to "John" and he said he would have to get on the computer to fix it. The hairs on the back of my neck started to bristle, but against my better judgement I went the steps tp let him on through LogMeIn Rescue.  He was well versed in QBWin log files and He said unfortunately the data file was corrupt and he would have to do a 2 hour process to fix it.  And we would have to get Intuit Data Protection Service and extend our subscription for another year in order to do that. All told the file repair, the data protection service and the subscription extension would be $2,000  dollars. That was the final red flag.

When I told him we were done, he hung up on me.
