Question Fake adobe emails

[MJS WARLORD]

i just received an email supposed to be from adobe ....

Log in to your Adobe I.D. today ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Your Adobe account will expire soon. Dear Adobe customer, We've noticed you have not logged in to your Adobe account in more than a year. In keeping with our policies, we are contacting you to let you know your Adobe ID will expire 90 days from now. If you take no action within the next 90 days, your Adobe ID will no longer be valid, you will no longer have access to content you may have stored on our servers and this account will be closed.

It showed my email address to try and convince me it was real.

I did not even know i had a adobe account , obviously i did NOT click the link , i tried to log into adobe.com and as suspected it said i dont have an account.
If you hover your mouse pointer over the likn it even shows what looks like genuine web page text

i removed the link as well, who knows who might click it...

The pfishing attempt has nothing to do with Adobe.
It is just a guess that one might be using the product.

Report this attempt to your email provider.

Thanks for feedback guys ....
The number 1 rule is NEVER click any link in an email even if it looks genuine always go direct to a website.
Myself and my wife say to each other do you know xyz and if we say no out it goes .
A friend sent an email with a strange heading so i rang her and said BEFORE i open this whats it about .... she replied i have not sent you anything

I get the following fakes pretty regularly:

Netflix account is being disabled(I don't have Netflix)
Amazon Prime is expiring (I do have it, and it is very easy to verify that Prime is still working)

In the past the Airline ticket one was pretty common (different carriers). Basically enter all your information here for your refund.
Microsoft Windows ones weren't uncommon either, your system has been reported as infected, click here to get a live assistant.

Don't think I have seen an Adobe one before. But then I haven't bought any of their subscriptions myself.

Did get a weird one that came with registering a copy of Windows though. From "Windows" and links to actual Microsoft tips and tricks for Windows 10. Neat they have something like that, but yeah the whole idea was to upgrade to Windows 11, so kind of pointless. Really does look like a phishing attempt though.

I agree there. Adobe is pretty easy because a pop up with actually generate on the screen when you try to open the product and will tell you the name of the machines it is enabled on.
