Account Blocked for "Suspicious Activity" Since April 30 - No Response to Case #00509138

Hello,

I am writing here hoping an Adobe staff member can help escalate my case. My contributor account was deactivated on April 30, 2026, due to an automated flag for "suspicious activity."

I filed an official appeal immediately and have received Case #00509138. Over the last nearly three weeks, I have followed up three times via email providing definitive, concrete proof that 100% of my content is original—including screenshots of my Adobe Premiere Pro editing timelines, raw camera/D-Log video file structures, and metadata. I have received no response or clarification from support.

Check my file below:

My account currently has a $400 pending payout on hold. I am a legitimate videographer and have never engaged in any fraud, account manipulation, or policy violations. I suspect my account may have been falsely flagged by an automated bot due to a sudden, clean spike in organic sales.

Could a staff member please look into Case #00509138 and help push it through to the Compliance team for a manual review? I am fully prepared to share a Google Drive link containing all my original raw video files to prove my full copyright ownership.

Thank you very much for your time and help.

    No sales or payout activity can occur while an account is deactivated.

    You must wait until the internal review is completed. There are many cases ahead of yours.  

    Work on other projects, submit to other services.

    Yes. I have reached out three times regarding my account block but haven't received a response. I don't know the exact reason for the restriction, but I suspect it may be due to a recent spike in sales and a high volume of uploads (about 70 videos per week). I believe their system may have incorrectly flagged this as suspicious activity. Average my safe before is 50/ months. but it’s increase to 200 - 300$ / month.

    Hey ​@Le Drone 

    You simply have to wait. Sending follow up emails and such is not going to help. We, people on the forum, do not have access to your account or to the decision making process to your account.

     

    Cheers

    Nate
