Is this s scam?

It could be since Q2012 downloading capabilities is set to be discontinued in April 2015.

Don't know if the email itself and the link are legit, but the information is correct. Quicken only allows you to use online services for 3 years and then you have to upgrade if you want to continue to take advantage of those services.

it is the normal - every 3 year - "sunset" of the online access from Quicken - Here is a portion of the "link" - which will take you to the Inuit/Quicken website...

Since the "FROM:" field can be faked, what is important to see is the Email Headers.

Parsing the email headers will indicate where the email truly eminates from.

Due to recent events, I applaud your caution and for using Critical Thought in this matter.

W/O seeing the headers of said email, I give it a 50/50 chance of being a Phishing Expedition.

I see this:

that's why I didn't post the full link - you are a little naive in this Internet stuff -

that link is your custom crafted Quicken link that has your personal info so you can order your personal copy of Quicken 2015

Admittedly.

More important is to see where the "click here" link takes you.
