    You haven't received anything from Adobe.  The e-mail is a spam and you may know that they spammers use any address in the FROM field to full the spam filters and their targets.  You are a prime example here.

    The only way to know who actually sent you and from which country is by looking at the e-mail headers.  You haven't posted this here so I can't tell you who actually sent you this e-mail.

    Just because from contains "Adobe" does not mean it is from Adobe.  Remember this.

    As has been posted above, the general From line can have anything munged into it. I get spam, that has my e-dress as the initiating party, but that Header info tells another story.

    Good luck,

    Thank you for posting that screenshot but you actually need to post the full headers.  In Gmail you have to click on a button called "Show Original" as shown in this picture:

    By clicking on that button/text, another screen will open with lots of raw data and that will tell us everything we need to know about the original sender and where he/she is residing.
