Hey All,
I got this email (addressed to me). Has anyone seen this? It looks legit but skeptical of all the scams out there. I don’t see any notifications on the quickbooks page.

This is Karson from SecurityMetrics.

Intuit Quickbooks has partnered with SecurityMetrics in order to help their merchants achieve PCI Compliance. PCI Compliance was created in 2006 by VISA, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover and JCB. Small businesses must annually complete a Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) verifying they are securely handling credit card information. As per Intuit's Terms of Service, each business that receives revenue via credit card transactions is required to comply with PCI compliance requirements.

Recently the PCI DSS was updated to the 4.0.1 standards that has new requirements specifically to address Ecommerce Businesses and Online Retailers .

Currently you are not being reported as "Compliant" with the new 2025 4.0.1 standards, but we can help.

In just a few additional steps, we can help you finish this process:

Log in to SecurityMetrics: www.securitymetrics.com
Answer a few self-guided questions online.
Choose the PCI Compliance package that best fits your processing method.
Complete the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ).
We're here to help with any questions you might have about this process. Looking forward to hearing from you soon to ensure your compliance is reported to Intuit.

Note: If you're primarily using "e-invoicing" and don't handle card data face-to-face, PCI Compliance is still required but the process is simplified online.

Sometimes just selecting an AI file to import and not pressing Import would cause corel to crash for me.  Mine hates AI files.

What version are you running?
I bit the bullet and got 2025, though I still need my trusty X6 to cut vinyl with Cutting Master software for my Graphtec

I usually did okay, but did often have to have folks back-save to older versions of Illustrator. My newer CorelDRAW seem to open them just fine, but I do the opposite and save as pdf when creating in Corel and sending out.
My issue with that though has always been that it ungroups things I put together for a reason.

I know some people on here run Corel, and Corel for me has always struggled with AI files.  I learned a trick not too long ago that works very well.  Change the extension of the .ai file to .pdf and it'll import into corel with zero issues.  It's also lets you preview the file in the folder as well.
