    Unhappy Getting punished for illegal Adobe license

    Hello,
    A few months ago I bought here on MPGH in the user services section an Adobe creative cloud upgrade. For like 10$. I received an invite link, it worked and everything was fine.
    But recently I got called by Adobe, they said there is a problem with my Dolby license.
    I responded that I got it from an invite link.
    They said that my license is illegal and theyll get their lawyers on it.
    I've read a bit about that. I could go 3 years into jail for this.
    Can anyone help me with that?

    Have you contacted the person giving you the invite? Cause if you got that call then it is possible others who were in the same group could have as well...

    Yes I contacted him, but he didn't answered yet. His username is Adobe.

    On his thread I saw that the licenses of others just got removed. But he says that he got hacked and they got kicked out of the team by him.

    I was called by someone saying I got a problem with my Dolby license. I don't know either what this has to do with Adobe. Maybe she did a mistake. But how can I solve this situation?

    Maybe institution got two license codes. The problems you all have are in line with one code.

    Are you sure it's really them? Not just a new type of scam?

    1) Look up the number.
    2) Did you use your real info?
    3) Always deny. You're the victim you don't know anything about it.
    4) A subpoena is a waste of time and money
    4.1) What do they gain from a part of the snake when they want the head

    I created a thread on the Adobe community forum. It was already said that in my story are some points that are not suiting into Adobe's acting. They said the @Adobe.com email could be from anyone. And that Adobe does not call people. But this minor things could be true/changed.
    1) What number?
    2) Yes I did, and now I know this was a mistake. But how could I think this is gonna happen?
    3) I did, but they don't care.
    4) That means they want money from me? Seems legit. Im waiting for the "Please send 500€ in Bitcoin to this address " - mail.
    Thank you for your help.

    If you mean phone number: +49 30 75763020 I checked the official site from Adobe and they don't got a support hotline in Berlin. On the call I saw this number is from Berlin.

    I googled this number. It's a real Adobe support number.

    I think now a days you can text your mobile provider and change your number. Not sure if it would help much, since you put your real info already...

    Sucks you live in EU. In the US, it a takes a lot of time and investigation - which makes companies forget about it because it is too much of a hassle.
