Webinar Spam

hi ​@idance ,

It is a known issue that Zoom is battling to stop.

People who are caught can have not only their acocunts, but their machines banned from Zoom.

As always, a few poeple who ruin things by trying to cheat the system.

There is already a link at the end of the invite emails to opt-out.

I am sorry you have had this happen to you.

All the best

John

Looking at the history of this complaint, it seems evident that Zoom doesn’t care about resolving this issue. The adding of an unsubscribe doesn’t help because they just pop up under another email, and in about half the emails, it isn’t even present. I doubt that reporting them to Zoom won’t help because they’ll just show up using another email.  The most annoying are the ones that are automatically added to my calendar. I’d never purchase anything from someone who markets with this tactic, but sadly, many must, or they wouldn’t keep doing it.  Is there any Zoom rep here who can address what is being done to stop this spamming?

I’m pretty convinced that this is part of Zoom’s business model now.
They can’t go hard on the spammers because the spammers themselves are paying customers.
The “unsubscribe” link provided in the email is a non-solution.  
First, its a poor attempt at shifting liability.  “Oh you subscribed to this, you should unsubscribe”
The wording should be “REPORT SPAM”
Second, it just demands labor from me.

“Just click the unsubscribe bro”.  Great, 2 new transactions for every spam email I get every day.  So call it 20 different clicks on either email or website.
