Hi,
Is anyone else receiving spam emails from what appears to be legitimate contacts on LinkedIn and Indeed stating they received the information via Adobe Portfolio Contact Form?

Sadly, there's nothing anyone can do about human spam. But there's a simple way to thwart robots with a required text field. See screenshot.
If the field is left blank, the form won't submit. If the field is completed, it's from a human.

I'll see how it goes. I just want to cut down on the spammy emails. They don't even make any sense at all, what a waste of cyberspace.

Spam might be coming from other sources, especially if your email is out in the wild.
It might be time to create a new email account to use with your Portfolio form, one which you don't publish online for email harvesters to find.

Email spam is not sent from Adobe. It comes from outside sources through whichever means is exploitable. With over a billion websites worldwide, there are at least that many contact forms for spammers to target.
