Question

My account was stolen

hi 

ALL of our adobe products account were taken over by fraudulent email address and stolen -taken over in its entirety, and our financial information was used to purchase further product without our authorisation. 

How can I retrieve the data? They are telling us that it is in the cloud and that they can see the data there but they are not allowed to obtain it back as it is under an other email address (the fraudulent one). Yes that is correct they are allowing access with the other email account and not able to change it back to ours? Do I need legal advice to proceed to retrieving this data which is ours? 

Any help here would be great.. we have been talking to technicians in Spain and India and not of much help… they have zero authority on anything and we need to retrieve what we have paid for for yearssss - it is all ours and sitting there, and ADOBE has the key? Any legal and technical help would be great  … please can someone help ? 

I am shocked by the repossess we have had. Adobe is the only one that can unlock it - they have our data under a fraudulent account and are keeping a hold of it. I can prove that this is is ours thanks to all email,s invoices, payment transfers etc .. PLEASE HELP!!!!! 

Thanks in advance !

    note to others: never reply to emails (whether from adobe or elsewhere.) unless you’re certain they’re valid.

    @38289798iee7 

     

    you email sentence is ambiguous and i misinterpreted it.

     

    can you log into your account, https://account.adobe.com ?

     

    if so, https://helpx.adobe.com/in/manage-account/using/create-update-adobe-id.html

     

    if not, can you access your control panel?

    how do I speak with someone? they are telling us that they are not allowed to transfer the data back to us when we can prove it is ours. We are looking into legal proceedings to access it. but no-one on chat is helping … no one of the phone is helping… its all like emails and you can speak to anyone able or with enough authority to do this… we are stuck and I don't know who to ask
