    Yes, I got one, and immediately deleted it. I thought it might be spam!

    I have no idea. Googling yields next to nothing except one other person with the same email over on the Canon Rumors forums.

    Have you checked who sent it, and looked at the full header to see if that tallies with the purported sender? It does sound phishy, but not totally implausible.

    And did you change your Adobe password when they had that hack some time back?

    When wanting to check offers ... I go to the website directly [never through an email] and send the "contact us" link a query. If it's valid or not they could confirm.

    Who.is reveals that ADOBECUSTOMERADVISORS.COM (the link in the email) belongs to a company called Vision Critical.
    Visioncritical.com appears to provide surveys and other business intelligence information to companies in need of such things.

    Also, ADOBECUSTOMERADVISORS.COM was registered on April 22, 2014 - apparently for this campaign.

    If you hover above the link in your email, you should also see that the source domain is ADOBESYSTEMS.COM. A who.is search reveals this domain to be owned by Adobe.

    So, looks legit.

    the domain is registered to an address that turns out to be a parking garage in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada.
    but others are claiming it's legit. It could be a 3rd party outsource from Adobe.
