There's also the matter of the lack of unsubscribe... Has zoom
explained why they are allowing their customers to send unconfirmed
opt-out mail with no unsubscribe option?
Good point. That's one of the few things that is specifically illegal under
CAN SPAM.
Perhaps we can collect them all and then sue both Sendgrid and Zoom.
So, just an update...
I can confirm, for sure, that there's no actual Zoom / Sendgrid
unsubscribe link in the spams based on the most recent spams that I
allowed in to analyze. Only 'unsubscribe' link (notice the quotes) is a
highly questionable Google Forms 'unsubscribe' run by the spammer
themselves.
In fact, and you are going to LOVE this, the spams, being sent through
IPs with zoom RNDS, owned by Sendgrid, _don't even have any content that
links to anything on zoom_.
All the content directs you to go to Google Forms (forms.gle) which then
take down personal information which purports to be for the supposed
zoom webinar.
I'm not kidding. Zoom (by way of Sendgrid) are essentially allowing
people to use their platform to send spam with no content linking
directly back to Zoom - only to Google Forms (in this case).
What is going on over there, Zoom? That's insane that you are allowing
customers to basically use your Sendgrid account to pretty much send
anything they want with no forced Zoom/Sendgrid unsubscribe link that
the spammers have no control over.
