I posted a question and then this person contacted me directly posing as working for Adobe.  I got suspicious after he asked for the serial number.

    You’re right. Abobe does not ask for serials like that. Adobe staff here on the fora has a STAFF bedge (like my ACP) badge and they have the Adobe logo near right to the name. I will report the scammer.

    Never share your serial number,  Adobe never asks for serial number details. Beware of Scammers

    What you posted looks like a PM (Private Message) discussion... but without the scammer's ID showing

    You need to post the scammer's Adobe ID here for a report to be made
