You are not addressing Adobe here but contributors like yourself, and we are unable to be of assistance. Use the "Contact us" link to ask for details and wait for a response if you have not already done so. It will most likely be awhile (possibly weeks) before you hear from them, other than a possible generic email notifying you that your email has been received. Keep an eye on your junk or spam folder if necessary. Do not attempt to contact Adobe repeatedly, as doing so can potentially slow down Adobe's investigation.

"Suspicious activity" is an unusual spike in sales, such as purchasing your own assets to boost your ranking, or someone our licensing a bunch of assets using free stock subscriptions, or someone purchasing with a stolen credit card. If Adobe concludes, after investigation, that you weren't involved in these suspicious sales, they will re-instate your account after perhaps deducting the fraudulent sales.

And if suspicious activity is the case, the party in question could continue with that activity if the account remained open. Adobe needs to investigate the issue in the meantime.

Adobe likely detected suspicious account activity.
1) Unusual sales or refunds.
2) Unauthorized use of protected Brand Names in keywords/descriptions.
3) Content spamming. Using multiple accounts.
4) Complaints / 'Take Down Notices' from 3rd parties.
5) Other violations of Stock Contributor Terms. See below.

This private matter is between you and Adobe Stock, not fellow Contributors in this user-to-user community.

Be patient. It may take several weeks for an audit to conclude. Check your email spam folder. If requested, provide additional information directly to Adobe Stock. Work on other projects. Submit content to other stock services.

Good luck.

No one here can know whether your account will be restored; this is a matter between you and Adobe. Also, per the guidelines of this community forum, you must NOT post any personally identifying details, including your address, email, and phone number!

If your account has been suspended, there is nothing that this community of peers can do for you. You will need to contact Adobe contributor support via the link at “Contact us”. Adobe will answer via e-mail, so watch your spam folder. The answer may take some time, depending on the workload of contributor support and the complexity of the investigation. So be patient and do not spam the contributor support.
