I see, this is what is used to post spams in the forums so others can see it, correct?

Thanks @petzl. eman al guhani isn't my name. I got a reply back from DRI which said "Dear Eman Al Guhani,Unfortunately, we do not handle the customer service for Adobe. Please contact them directly with your request through one of the following methods:" This is odd that they addressed that guy despite my actual name being attached to my email account when writing and was in my sig at the end of the email. I'm on Mac OS so I only run Malware Bytes occasionally and AV's are really unneeded. I've only found the Genieo malware once a looong time ago via MB. But to empirically confirm this, I downloaded and ran 2 different antivirus scans and MalwareBytes. Nothing there. LOL now I need to delete the antivirus as it eats up resources when it runs. Anyway, RE: the tracking URL. Why would I do that? Can you run me thru the process? I received another email from Adobe today titled "Welcome to our Creative Cloud family, Eman" despite writing to their abuse team yesterday.

That's what's so odd is this one was not the challenge email but a purchase confirmation with an order # . The first one that arrived was asking for verification. Checking w/my one CC company, there are no new charges and DRI has not replied to me. I'm not gonna sweat it too much but still going to keep an eye out. I thought I was pretty good at spotting spoofs but this one I just can't tell what is going on. Below is the plain text from the emails with the corresponding SC report results in screen shots.

I am getting emails from Adobe and Digital River Ireland re: an "adobe creative cloud" account which I don't have. "You're nearly there Welcome to Creative Cloud, eman. Before we can get started, we need to quickly verify your email address. Click the link below and sign in using your new Adobe ID: eman.photoATXXXX.com Verify your email Once your email is verified, sign in to Creative Cloud to get started." DRI sent me a "Your Adobe Order Confirmation" email today and the adobe email came yesterday, Bangkok time. My email name is emanphoto@ but the address these emails are addressed to is eman.photo@. Notice the period in the middle. So to test this, I sent an email to eman.photo@ and sure enough it came thru to me! If the email came to me, would it also go to the person who created eman.photo? How is this possible with completely different emails? Admittedly different only with a period. Neither digital river nor adobe have any CC card info on me as far as I know. I have emailed DRI to see what they have to say and how to proceed but thought I'd check with the email/spam experts here for any opinions for which I'll be grateful!

I did fwd to them and the replies seem genuine at first but then all of them are the same with just a different person signing them.

I can say with pretty much confidence that I don't think that when SC gets a message from abuse AT linode.com that translates to the SC user as "ISP has indicated spam will cease; ISP resolved this issue sometime after 8/1/2019, 3:43:07 PM +0700" that it is not likely true as the same ads come to me weekly. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling that abuse AT linode.com uses an auto-responder for spam reports. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm sure I'm not alone here in getting frequent colocrossing spam. Due to it's frequency, I did a little googling. Perhaps others may find these pages of use or of interest. They do have a Twitter page and FB page so it's not like their some totally unresponsive monolith, although maybe so RE: spam https://www.000webhost.com/directory/reviews/colocrossing.com http://spamauditor.org/2017/01/happy-new-year-colocrossing/ https://irulan.net/blocking-colocrossing-spam/
