I need a phone number to speak with a human being.

Does anyone know how I can find a phone number to speak with a real live human being about a software purchase which I've paid for but can't download because they say I haven't provided proof that I'm a teacher (which I have already uploaded twice). I'm so frustrated!!! Trying to be nice and reasonable is getting harder and harder.

    This no longer works and the automated system just sends me in circles.  I need to speak to a live human.  Does Adobe think so little of its customers that we get no live support?

    it does work if you use a compatible browser.  updated info: there are 3 ways to contact adobe; chat, phone and twitter:

    chat:
    use a browser that allows popups and cookies
    and click here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
    in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
    be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human.

    phone:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html

    twitter:
    tweet @AdobeCare

    p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative. ie, double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an adobe.com domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. then check again and be very suspicious. any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam, https://community.adobe.com/t5/using-the-community-discussions/staying-safe-in-the-adobe-support-community/td-p/12919684/redirect_from_archived_page/true
