Sc
Scam or they’ve been hacked either way avoid
Same as a lot of others on here I got an invoice for $470 which is weird as I’m in the Uk for a start and Iv also never heard of this Company. It does have a quick books logo on the email which I have an account with so not sure if that’s linked in to it somewhere but il be emailing quick books about it as well and obviously this lot won’t be getting any money from me. If it is a genuine company I wouldn’t recommend anyone using them or giving them any of your details if they are susceptible to this type of scam/hack either.

Hi there — the good news is the invoice is not real, we did not send it, and you will not be charged anything. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Last week, we found out that our email provider was hacked and sent out a fake invoice to everybody on our list. Luckily, they only got access to our email provider and nothing else. We are VERY diligent when it comes to security and password protection (not even our own team members know the actual passwords because we use Lastpass). So we are extremely surprised that this happened. We sent out an update email 45 minutes after this happened, changed our home page to an update page (https://jumpcut.com/deleteinvoice), and did our best to quickly respond to the thousands of customer support tickets that flooded our inboxes. It's certainly depressing that somebody would try to do this during a worldwide pandemic…but unfortunately, there's always going to be people out there that try to take advantage of others during shitty circumstances. It's actually not that difficult to send emails that LOOK legit (they're using the correct domain). Vox made a video a week ago warning people that scammers can send fake emails from the WHO (if you're curious about seeing how, watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CrbHvbvvMw) Please let me know if you have any other questions! This is definitely a disappointing situation for everybody involved, but we're doing our best to ensure everybody that was impacted has received an answer. - Kel / VP of Content
