Spammers in the middle east and Pakistan seem to love doing this. I finally set my google settings to “don’t add me to any google group without my requesting to join it” and that solved the issue, at least from the POV of my not receiving it. They’re running riot all over googlegroups and have been for years now.

One more comment on this. I got added to: Hi d...@prime.gushi.org, asaccessories...@gmail.com added you to the Insights group. Google Groups allows you to create and participate in online forums and email-based groups with a rich community experience. You can also use your Group to share documents, pictures, calendars, invitations, and other resources. Learn more. If you do not wish to be a member of this group you can send an email to insights89+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com or follow this unsubscribe link. If you believe this group may contain spam, you can also report the group for abuse. For additional information see our help center. I followed the abuse link, clicked the “Spam” button and got a black pop-up that said, simply “Failed to report group as abuse”, before disappearing a second later. I did it a second time so I could screenshot it. This is broken. -Dan > On Jun 16, 2022, at 11:57 PM, Cyril - ImprovMX via mailop <mailop@mailop.org> > wrote: > > That's a really great question and I've also experienced a ton of spam > comming from Google Groups I never opted in. > > I followed the recommendation of Brandon Long, and at my great surprise, I > was in 0 groups!
