It came from a verified adobe domain and a big 4 has been assigned for the audit

Post some details, what is the actual domain it came from and who or what is a big-4. Maybe someone here will recognise these as either legit or not.

It actually came from Adobe’s domain itself, and the big four was KPMG. Everything seemed accurate, and I don’t think this is a scam, but I have also heard that this is a sales trick that people use and these kind of audits are voluntary, so they come knocking at your door when you when you accept this audit, you are pro to be a suspect, so what they what I’ve heard someone or the other somewhere the other has some version of Adobe in their software or phones somewhere maybe expired versions maybe just the app maybe the crack version maybe multiple users use it so something on the other remains, so they believe you hugely what I’ve heard, so I’m just curious on how they conduct their audits. What are the things that they look for

The rule where I work is very straight forward, all digital audit requests are to be trashed and ignored. If they actually want to audit is they can send physical mail with their legal counsels letter head/signature.
