I recently posted a question on the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum and received a private forum message copied below. I sent an e mail to Adobecare@mail2expert.com and received a reply asking for my Adobe ID and password. This is obviously a phishing scam. Just though I would warn everyone. Is there anything the moderators can do to stop this?
Kind regards
Chris
