problems with Adobe Online Store and not delivering complete order?

Hello,

I had upgraded PSE 12 to PSE 2021.
Once the installation begun it jumped abruptly from 6% to 100%. And never open any workspace area.

Present situation:
Finally I uninstalled any previous Adobe app and the installation has been completed successfully.
Meanwhile “Adobe” has answered my problem (via email and without name signature) as follows:
"We have several problems with Adobe Online Store and not delivering complete order, so we have to cancel this purchase and refund you, and then will generate the Manual Invoice and help you to Download, Install and Activate PSE 2021 on your Mac."
It adds:".. this product not comes in warranty due to online store error."
And so: "…kindly provide your Adobe registered Email ID and the Password for Adobe.com"

Question:
1.Do you know if that is what may happens with troubleshooting installation?
2.Did you ever had Adobe.care asked you to give
your Adobe registered Email ID and the Password for Adobe.com?

Thank you
Maria

I suspect that this is phishing: the fraudulent practice of sending emails purporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.

Adobe will never ask you for your password. That's proof it was a scam. But the big questions are

- how did you get in touch with "Adobe" (actually criminal scammers)?

- where did you buy from (to see if it was a real sale or a dangerous fake sale)?

I bought it directly from Adobe on 22 Sept.having already an account.
How I got in touch with the scammers?
I had received a private email in Adobe private/notespage as a reply to my first post (installation troubleshooting) which suggested:
Hi, You can Directly send Email to our Adobe Customer Care Team Email Address:-
AdobeInc.Care@outlook.com and they will help you via Email.
Note:-Compose New Email and Write the Email Address without any Space mentioned above and send Email Team Adobe

(Pls see my above screenshot-post on  Glenn 8675309)

Indeed is very weird, because I never posted except through the Adobe Support Community.
Thank you very much

NO!  IT'S A 100% SCAM.  Incomplete sentences... broken english.  Adobe would never ask for that info.

Whats the exact email address that messsage came from?

The email addrress is:

Adobe Systems Incorporated <AdobeInc.Care@outlook.com>

The weird fact is that I had posted on Adobe Support Community-Discussions, on the 22 Sept.

and got (among others public replies) the following private message and I did what suggested, not thinking that it might be a fraude. From this point on the whole communication took place via my email address

Hello, it seems you are right.
Do you think that may be a future problem that i gave them the serial number of PE?

Thank you,

Since you have installed the software successfully, I doubt that you will encounter a problem subsequently.
