99% sure this is a scam, but just wondering if anyone else has received this email, supposedly from ProSeries:

Suspension Warning

 
 

ProSeries compliance@proseriescmc.com

 

10:17 AM (13 minutes ago)
 
 

 

 

 

to me

I haven't see it - yet, but I'm guessing some Drake and Ultra Tax users got the same e-mail.  When you start fishing, you throw out a lot of lines.  As a side note, look at all of the e-mails you have received in the past from ProSeries.  Do any of them show "proseries" in the e-mail address or do they all show "intuit"?

Yes, the email address was only one of multiple red flags. 

Anyway, figured I would flag this for others who may receive the same message.
