Sounds VERY much like a scam to me. Rkelly0137 is exactly right, a Photoshop license is a license to use for ONE PERSON. Counterfeiting and scams are common with software this expensive.
If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. There are no deep discounts on Photoshop.
Regarding your specific question, if indeed it IS an illegitimate sale, it's likely that Adobe will themselves ultimately blacklist the serial number. They actually do that.
Personally, I'd deactivate it and seek a refund ASAP, but the decision is up to you.
Consider subscribing to the Creative Cloud for $9.99/month, which will get you a current version of Photoshop and the peace of mind knowing you're legitimately licensed.

What Noel and rkelley said.
I'd have to say, though: The price on the Creative Cloud Photography sub is an absolute steal. $120/year (paid up front or in installments per month) for any and all updates and new features for both Photoshop and Lightroom? Yes, please. xD
