Getting spam Zoom meeting

Our company has been getting spam Zoom invites for webinars, and because we are all on iOS, it is automatically included in our calendars, etc.

 

As they are valid Zoom meeting requests, even just declining these meetings is a pain, so the admin has just blocked any email from zoom.us, and told everyone to use "something else."

 

Is there a way to report these spam to Zoom? Zoom does not do customer support very well.

Yes!  Zoom needs to provide someway to report these unsolicited invites.  I just started getting them a few weeks ago and now they are showing up all the time.  NOT cool that we can't report so you know who is abusing your platform.

In addition to unsubscribing and canceling, I go an extra step and add their email at mailbat_dot_info just to fill their inbox with junk.

How do you unsubscribe from their meeting notifications and don’t you miss actual real meeting invites by unsubscribing?

We ask everyone, including clients not to use zoom. If they really want to use zoom, the have to email us the invite from their own email address. 

 

So sorry Zoom, you have failed to do what teams and google chat can do, hence this action.

I wish that would work.  These bad players change the email you are referencing every time.  Here's the model.
1. They set up one recurring webinar.
2. Promote the webinar to participants.
3. They do their first webinar.
4. They change the "Subject" and the "reply-to email" for each webinar. (This is so they circumvent the unsubscribe)
5. They do this sometimes multiple times a week.

The only way to stop it is to unsubscribe from the Zoom.us domain.  I am surprised that Zoom has not eliminated these bad players from the platform.  They could at least take the bad players we have documented and cancel their accounts.

I have been plagued by this issue for months and reported over a dozen webinars to Zoom, but they appear to do nothing about it.  This issue is specific to Zoom. They must have a financial incentive to not fix the issue, which would be super simple to fix. A report spam link, and if more than say 2% of invites report spam, the webinar is deleted.   Anyone interested if we can get some kind of class action going?  I have wasted several hours trying to delete events, raise tickets etc, plus when my calendar gets filled with a spam webinar, it means the slot is removed from my availability for meetings. It has a financial impact.

I just put zoom.us on the block and delete list. People that decide to use a platform that cannot police spammers is a platform that we just ignore.

I tried that in MS 365 and somehow, I still get events appearing in my calendar. I am not receiving any emails from Zoom. It makes me suspect that my bad actor is sending invite links from a separate new gmail.com for each new event. I have now turned off the calendar and am going to retire the email account that gets the invites....

They still haven't figured this out and its almost 2026.  The problem lessened for a short while, but has ramped up in the last month or so.  Zoom needs to fix this or I will have to block all Zoom e-mails and cancel my plan.  And I really like this platform.
