Did I just get scammed?

[CatherineMullins]

Ok, so I was just checking on some responses to a post I made here a couple of days ago via my email and I went to try to click on a link that would take me to that post and instead I got an adobe sign-in prompt. I signed in with my email and it said I needed to put in my phone number. Put in my phone number and I got a verification call telling me to click '1" to verify. I verified and got a message saying that 150$ would be charged to my account and to stay on the line to speak to someone if I thought this charge was in error. Then the call ended. 

My question is have you heard of any scams like this going around? I have a feeling the charge was a lie and if someone had come to the phone they would have tried phishing for my bank information (which I would not have given them). Also, this sounds very un-Adobe.

If you have heard of a scam like this I'd be very interested.

I would at the very least change the password for your Adobe ID immediately. It does sound like you were scammed.

[Steve Werner]

I agree with Bill. It's highly likely you were scammed, unfortunately.

Hi @CatherineMullins,

I’m really sorry to hear about this situation. It definitely sounds like a scam. Please change your Adobe ID password right away to secure your account.

You can also report this to Adobe by following the article: Adobe Security Alerts.

Stay safe, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further help!

Best,
Abhishek Rao

@CatherineMullins

Looks like a scam - but it's rather to get more info about you - you should contact your bank, the one that issued your credit / debit card ASAP! 

If you use the same password elsewhere - change it everywhere ASAP! 

Do you still have this email? 

[CatherineMullins]

Thank you for the advice. I will contact my bank ASAP. And yes, I still have this email.
