This got around my junk mail filter.  It has many suspicious header elements and if you get this, I strongly urge you do not click any links in this email.  When in doubt, call Adobe about something like this.  There is nothing in the header information that suggests this is a genuine email from Adobe systems, and much junk and several outright bogus headers.  FYI.

Thank you very much for the heads up on this one.  I've been getting a lot of marketing info from Adobe lately, but I never respond or give information without checking the source.  So far everything has gone by way of the recycle bin.

I really appreciate your thoughtfulness in giving us this information.

Thanks for the info. The last ones that Im getting bogged down with are greeting cards from friends, family, etc.  The first time I got one, I noticed the link was going to send me to some IP address. Trashed it. But Im getting at least 2 or 3 a day :(  I wish we had something for email like they do for marketing through the phone (donotcall.gov)

I use MailWasher Pro so nothing like this gets to my system but thanks for the warning.  I have a couple of registered Adobe products so I'll be on the lookout for this to hit my mail server.

I never click on a link in email unless I'm 100% sure who it came from. But thanks for this warning so I don't get tempted. :) yeah, the ecard thing, I keep getting them too. Postcard from a family member, postcard from a highschool classmate, postcard from a business associate...etc. None of my family would send me an ecard, they know I won't open them. I don't have any highschool classmates since I didn't get to highschool (had to do the GED thingy)due to ill health as a youngster. And I don't have business associates...LOL.

Ha! getting an email from Adobe tells you it's a fake. In the decades of using this stuff I have never gotten one. LOL.
