I am unsure what to do with it, as I assumed it was indeed a scam but normally I can verify I scam as other people have generally posted about it somewhere on the web but with this I can't find any reference to it. The tone of the messages has become increasingly threatening too.

Spam, ignore it.
You can purchase a SSL certificate through Adobe themselves. You can ONLy do it through Adobe and have it setup.
Companies are jumping on the fact that browsers like Chrome now show a clearer notification when a site is not HTTPS. IT does not mean they are not secure, but people see bad icons and so on and then if companies like that follow up with emails and scare them further they hope to get your money.
Ignore it.
