How do I get someone to stop spamming me with their zoom meeting invites?

[ambyhendy]

A spammy online marketer keeps sending me Zoom email invites, and it's clogging up my inbox. I never subscribed to their thing and there isn't a way to unsubscribe/remove from list through the zoom invites that I can find. I don't want to block the emails because it will block all Zoom meeting invites and I do need access for work purposes. Nor do I want to just create a new folder because real meetings will get lost in the spammy jungle. Does zoom have no way to ask to be removed from someone's meetings?

I'm a consultant working internal to Dell and every other consultant.. and full time staff member here, are sending all Zoom invites to S>P>A>M now. We have internal comms and we rarely if ever use ZOOM, so there's zero reasons we should be getting 'invites'. All 50 or so of us, just mark every ZOOM invite as S/p.am. It has just gotten ridiculous. Zoom seems to not give a shoot. Oh well.

Please anyone from zoom block this email address (***********) from sending me and probably hundreds others unsolicited Zoom meetings. I received Zoom meeting notifications everyday from this and they won't stop even I tried to unsubscribe. I didn't signed up for their marketing bs

Sorry, but Zoom, you need to be accountable for blocking SPAM invites and direct calendar access. You clearly know what activity is occurring on your platform. You're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem. Which is it?

For someone who lives on my calendar, when an unsolicited Zoom shows up in my calendar, it means I can't book sales calls in that slot.

That means you are directly impacting/interfering with my business.

Run that by your legal team. Seems like a solid class action.

"Unsubscribe" this.

There shouldn't be an option to just add someone to a Zoom calendar meeting without consent. The issue is if I block it then I block all of my google calendar notification which I use for a lot of things. Zoom has to figure this one out. Annoying

Dear zoom leadership and product management staff - please be advised that your strategy for dealing with spam meeting invites is wholly inadequate. Including an unsubscribe link to the sender's website merely allows the sender (let's be accurate and call them the spammer) to know they have found a valid email address that is regular monitored. That simply results in more spam from them and distribution of the email address to the broader spammer community. Zoom needs to be more proactive. Along with unsubscribe there needs to be a "this is spam" link that causes Zoom to block the source account from sending any more invites to my email address. That block should NOT be reported to the sender. This puts your customer (ME) in control of my inbox. Nothing less is acceptable. If you cannot or will not resolve this soon I will (with great reluctance) switch to using Teams for all my needs.

@andy2m - I 100% agree with all of the steps you outlined above that Zoom need to take to stop these spammers - they are doing nothing and it is appalling that a company with a market cap of $21B treats their users with such disregard.  No wonder their share price has dropped from a high of $560 in the peak of Covid down to $70 now.
You can switch to Teams but it may not change anything - I switched to mostly using Teams and deleted my Zoom account, and the spam messages still came rolling in just as before...  Perhaps over time they may have stopped.  Unfortunately, I needed to resurrect my Zoom account a month or so later as I needed to have a meeting with someone that was only familiar with Zoom, and he couldn't get Teams to work.

Yep - that is why I would switch to Teams with great reluctance. Sadly, I am also one of the folks that pushed down the price  of Zoom stock (in a very small way). I sold my limited holdings a while ago as Zoom failed to take scale issues (like this one) seriously.
