Adobe Reader Phish circulating

[Bobby H]

I don't know how many forum members have received this phish in their e-mail boxes in the past, but new phish scams involving Adobe Reader have been hitting e-mail boxes over New Year's weekend. This morning I deleted two e-mails selling "Adobe Reader/Writer 2012."

Adobe Reader X is the latest version of that product. There is no such thing as Adobe Reader/Writer 2012. The links in the e-mail either point to spam sites or worse delver malicious scripts that launch when the link is clicked.

I received this too and thought it was a little suspicious! Didn't click on the links and reported them as spam.
