I received a similar email from a, supposedly an outreach coordinator from Adobe Express. However, Google shows no such person with that name working for Adobe. Like the OP, I am curious about the veracity of the email. There don't appear to be suspicious links in the email, but the inability to verify the sender, plus the fact that his email address looks spammy, plus the kind of spammy feel of the content of the email itself makes me wonder.

 

This is what I received:

I got a followup from the person today and I replied to that, saying that the original email looked fishy (phishy?). We'll see if I hear back with anything reassuring.

Hi @beenigirl @CheshireIsaacs,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

He is an adobe employe.

To verify the authenticity of an email from an Adobe employee, check if the email address ends with "@adobe.com." If it does, it's legitimate.

 

Your security matters to us. Feel free to reach out at any time should you have any concerns or questions about emails.

 

Lyn 🙂

I received this exact email from the exact same person today. Did you end up using the content? Did you indeed get a free year subscription?
