08 9932 3001 (0899323001): Contributors report Adobe Acrobat impersonation emails and calls claiming unauthorised $28.66 charges, requesting callback or personal information.
Adobe Impersonation Reports for 08 9932 3001
Community reports for 08 9932 3001 (also written as 0899323001) reveal a mixed pattern of activity. While three contributors confirmed legitimate Adobe Acrobat tech support interactions via 08 9932 3001, one report from September 2025 documents a clear impersonation scam using this number. The scam email claims an unauthorised $28.66 Adobe Acrobat purchase and requests the recipient call 0899323001 for 'activation assistance' from a supposed Adobe supervisor named Leon Harvey.
The impersonation scheme targeting 08 9932 3001 follows a classic pattern: the fraudulent email falsely claims the recipient purchased Adobe Acrobat in 2023 without activation, and offers to reactivate a license 'at no additional cost' if they call back or provide callback details. Contributors have also reported receiving multiple suspicious emails referencing Adobe Acrobat software purchased years earlier, suggesting either data breach sourcing or mass phishing campaigns using this number as the callback destination.
What Callers from 08 9932 3001 Claim
One contributor received an email directing them to call 0899323001 for Adobe Acrobat 'activation assistance.' The email impersonated Adobe leadership, signed by 'Leon Harvey, Supervisor Adobe,' and requested either a callback number or a direct call to 08 9932 3001. The message falsely stated the recipient had purchased Adobe Acrobat but not activated it, and offered free license key generation by 'one of our technicians.'
Two other contributors reported receiving the same scam emails claiming unauthorised $28.66 charges for Adobe Acrobat software, requesting action but not yet following up on the callback request. These emails use urgency and a non-existent payment as social engineering hooks to prompt contact via 0899323001.
Report Patterns and Timing
The scam email impersonating Adobe was reported in September 2025, with follow-up reports of similar suspicious emails in January 2026. Legitimate support calls via 08 9932 3001 were also documented in late January and February 2026, including one recent report from 20 February 2026 where a contributor named Harvey provided genuine tech support and resolved an issue.
The presence of both legitimate and fraudulent activity on 0899323001 suggests either a number takeover, spoofing, or opportunistic reuse of a legitimate support line. Contributors should be cautious about authenticating calls claiming to be from Adobe tech support on this number, particularly if they received unsolicited emails first.

WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Is 08 9932 3001 a real Adobe support number?
Community reports show mixed activity. Three contributors confirmed genuine Adobe Acrobat tech support calls from 08 9932 3001, with one contributor named Harvey resolving a technical issue. However, one detailed report from September 2025 documents a fraudulent email impersonating Adobe and directing recipients to call 0899323001 to activate a non-existent purchase. The number appears to be a legitimate local service in Western Australia (Symbio Networks), but scammers have also used it as a callback destination in phishing emails. Always verify by contacting Adobe directly through adobe.com rather than calling a number from an unsolicited email.
What should I do if I called 0899323001 after receiving an Adobe Acrobat email?
If you called 08 9932 3001 in response to a suspicious Adobe email and provided personal information or remote access, take these steps immediately: change your Adobe account password, monitor your bank and credit accounts for unauthorised charges, and report the incident to scamwatch.gov.au. If you provided remote access, contact your device manufacturer's support line to check for unauthorised changes. Report the original phishing email to cyber.gov.au and Adobe's fraud team.
Why am I receiving emails about Adobe Acrobat charges I didn't make?
These emails are part of a phishing scam. One contributor reported multiple emails claiming an unauthorised $28.66 Adobe Acrobat purchase from 2023 and directing them to call 0899323001 for 'activation assistance.' The scammers use false charge claims to create urgency and trick recipients into calling back or providing personal information. These emails are not from Adobe. Delete them and do not call the provided number. If you are an Adobe customer, log into your account directly at adobe.com to verify your actual purchase history.
What is the 'Leon Harvey, Supervisor Adobe' signature in these emails?
This is an impersonation tactic used in the phishing emails referencing 0899323001. The scammer is pretending to be an Adobe supervisor to add legitimacy to the false claim about activation assistance. Adobe supervisors do not contact customers via unsolicited emails requesting callback numbers or remote access. This signature is fabricated and a red flag that the email is fraudulent.
Should I trust calls from 08 9932 3001 claiming to be Adobe tech support?
Exercise caution. While three community contributors confirmed legitimate Adobe tech support via 08 9932 3001, the fact that scammers have also directed phishing emails to this number means you should independently verify any support claim. If 08 9932 3001 calls you claiming to be Adobe support, hang up and contact Adobe directly using the official contact details on adobe.com. Do not provide personal information, passwords, or remote access based on an inbound call, even if the caller appears professional.
How can I confirm if an Adobe Acrobat charge is real?
Log into your Adobe account directly at adobe.com using your email and password (not through any links in suspicious emails). Check your account history and subscription status. If you see an unexpected $28.66 charge or subscription, contact Adobe's official support line through their website. If you never had an Adobe account and received an email about a 2023 purchase, the email is definitely fraudulent. Report it to scamwatch.gov.au and delete it. Do not call any number provided in the suspicious email, including 0899323001.
