Fraudulent Charges...Where does the responsibility lie?

Hello,

My name is Jonathan and I am creating this post in regards to several fraudulent charges to my credit card by Adobe. It seems someone used my card to pay for serviced from a different account. I have never ordered ADOBE *PHOTOGPHY, and I do not engage in photography more than the occasional picture on my phone.

I understand the discrepancy that you have no way to tell that I didn’t register with a different email, but the same situation has happened before, based on the following Adobe threads:

https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2435311

https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2500431

​It seems that my credit card info, and that of others, has been stolen from Adobe and used fraudulently. I do not believe that it is the responsibility of the credit companies to refund that money. It is very frustrating that this has been going on for at least a year, based on those threads, and yet Adobe customer service is still pushing the problem off to the card companies and not training their representatives to deal with the issue more appropriately. Has anyone else had the same problem? I have sent this to

How do I report the fraudulent use of my credit card or personal information as it relates to an Adobe product or service?

  Contact abuse@adobe.com.

​I saw in the aforementioned threads that an Adobe employee, Beverly Gray, was able to escalate their cases and help them with a refund. I have also sent her a message asking for her assistance in this matter. If you could please help me resolve this issue and refund all the fraudulent charges, I would very much appreciate it. I will provide you with whatever information you need, such as card info, account info, and a copy of my conversation with Adobe customer service. I am not frustrated with any particular person, only the system Adobe has created. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Brown

You need not worry about the card companies suffering. They will always pass the charge on to the company, so Adobe will pay. Since you have no way to know what account was using your stolen card info, this is probably the easiest way. You have to contact the card company anyway, as after any fraud, so your card can be cancelled and reissued with a new number.

It is not clear that your card details were stolen from Adobe. They could be stolen from any web site, or at any seller where someone has

usage is irrelevant to adobe (just like it is for a landlord or car lessor).  what matters is if you started a subscription or trial or otherwise know how adobe got your credit card info.

 

if you have no idea how adobe got that info, report fraud to your credit card provider.  otherwise contact adobe support.

 

there are 2 ways to contact adobe; chat and twitter (now x):

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.

twitter/x:
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.

Step 1: contact your card provider and dispute the charge.

 

If you started a trial and forgot to cancel it, you can get a full refund from Adobe provided you cancel within 14 days.

Yes, I got charged also. This was sneaky. It never sent me an email or any confirmation and it's been charging me for so many months. This is a fraud.

I just spoke with an agent and told them the situation that someone used it to help me and used my saved card and bought it without my knowledge and Adobe canceled it and I won't be charged again.
