Beware of New Scam Targeting CPA Licensees
–
May 21, 2025
The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs (Division) has issued a warning to all licensed professionals, including CPAs. A dangerous new scam is actively targeting licensees and applicants, attempting to trick individuals into downloading malicious software. This scam falsely instructs email recipients to download a “new license software.” Clicking on the link in the email and following the instructions may result in the automatic download of malicious software onto your device. Below is a copy of the fraudulent email.
The Division does not utilize or require any new software downloads for license renewal or application processes. Furthermore, the Division will NEVER request that applicants or licensees download software onto their devices.
Please never click on any suspicious links. Immediately report any email or text you receive containing this or a similar message. We strongly encourage you to report the email to DCA at askconsumeraffairs@dca.njoag.gov or 973-504-6200. You may also report the email to the Division of Criminal Justice at dcjtipline@njdcj.org or 800-277-2427, or to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
