Good evening to all in the community.

I am a subscriber to CC and use my programmes alot...

although i keep getting adverts offering ALL the following programmes for less than £35 with a life time licence and was wondering if this is a genuine offer, the website says the following text "

No Monthly Bills No Subscriptions.
Yes, that's true. From now you are not required to pay the adobe monthly subscitpion to get to the Adobe CC.
This pack allows you to get benefits of the well known Adobe's software just by One Time Payment and you will get lifetime access to the software listed below."

 

  • Photoshop 2021
    Illustrator 2021
    Premiere Pro CC 2021
    After Effects CC 2021
    Lightroom Classic 2021
    InDesign 2021
    Animate 2021
    Dreamweaver 2021

    2 questions 
    Is this a genuine offer?
    and if not...
    How do i stop getting these messages?

    Thank you.

    No.  There is no such thing as a "lifetime license."   Maybe the scammer's lifetime but NOT your lifetime. 

     

    The scam usually works like this:  They dupe unsuspecting souls out of their hard earned money for trial or pirated volume licensed software intended for businesses.  And then disappear a few weeks later when the software stops working -- assuming it ever worked in the first place.

     

    How to block it?  Check your email documentation about blocking unwanted junk mail. 

    Also report the scheme to phishing@adobe.com
