I got a message that I was eligible to upgrade my Adobe product-The date was February 16th 2008- this was purported to be an upgrade that cost $11.95. I purchased this product, and downloaded it. My bill was for $65.68 with an additional $35.85 for 3 year license, and SpyErazer for $17.88. None of this was clear in the come-on. Since February twice I got an error message saying I had to have Adobe 8 to open a pdf file. I contacted tech assistance the second time this happened -April 12th or so. I got the response saying I needed to download the Adobe 8- This is free from the Adobe site.

I contacted Adobe to try to get to who I bought this bogus product from and was told that Adobe does not license any other company to sell their products. It began to dawn on me that I was the victim of a scam.

I contacted Interactive brands again requesting my money back. Again I wrote that I could not access pdf files.

I then un-installed this bogus Adobe program and re-loaded the free Adobe 8.

I wrote a letter to this company today requesting my money back but I am sure I will not get any refund. I have been totally schnooked and feel very embarrassed that I would have been so irresponsible in researching this purchase.

Interactive Brands has never claimed to be affiliated with Adobe or to sell Adobe programs. This company has created an original, unique PDF creator/editor.
