Strange email

Hello, I received a strange letter to my work email from Julia from adobe work account, that I’ve been selected by creative community fund to receive $ 10 k. And I want to be aware that it is not a scam.

      Congratulations!  Creative Residency Fund  is a legitimate Adobe Program. 

      https://www.adobe.com/about-adobe/creative-residency/community-fund.html

       

      They award $10,000 to Ukrainian refugees, people displaced by the Ukrainian war or people who are financially supporting the above.

      Show us that email.  

       

      Did you ever submit a grant application to an Adobe Fund?  If not, either you're missunderstanding the email message or it's a total prank.

        If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. This has all the hallmarks of a scam.

         

        What is the exact email address that you received the email from?

         

        Ensure it's a valid email and not a phishing email
