Fake Notice from AICPA is a Scam

Submitted by rkoreto on Fri, 02/17/2012 - 13:08

CPAs--and even members of the general public--have been receiving emails claiming to be from the AICPA that say that  the Institute has received complaints about the recipient and as a result their licenses are in immediate danger of being revoked.

As explained in a notice on the AICPA website, these are "phishing" scams designed to elicit personal information or load a virus onto recipients' computers. Do not click on any links in these emails or attempt to respond to them.
