Beware of Unauthorized Drake Software Offers: How to Stay Protected

Recently, one of our valued customers reported receiving a suspicious call from an unfamiliar number offering a "discounted" version of Drake Software. We want to make it absolutely clear: this offer was not legitimate.
Here is how to stay informed and protected:
Avoid Third-Party Software Offers
If you receive unsolicited emails, calls, or messages offering discounted or promotional Drake Software from sources you do not recognize, treat them as potential scams. These fraudulent offers can expose your firm to serious risks, including:
