I am in @xfinity customer support hell. We've been a customer for 32 years. My dad died, and we have no internet or phone. They keep telling me to log into his account to make an appointment. I can't log into his account, and we've been going back and forth for 12 days now.
My father died & @comcast won't repair service to his house until they decide whether I can take over his account. They promised an answer in 5 days; it's been 8. Meanwhile we have no cable, no internet, no telephone. The rep says, "Sorry, but we are slaves to the system."

Can @getresponse and @simongrabowski please control their rogue affiliates? We continue to see spam posts from throw-away accounts on various social media platforms shilling the service.
e.g., hxxps://www.getresponse.com/start-free-trial?ab=XrMp63VPvJ&c=CrudeAdvice

.@spamhaus ratchets down the temperature over a flood of informational listings - but it's well past time for senders to clean house:

How much did @Twitter make on the sale of consumer 2FA data? If the fine is a fraction and not a multiple, then how is it a deterrent from future similar incidents?

Great example why ESPs like@Salesforce @Braze have to be selective with whom they do business. How many hours of discovery and document production is that contract really worth?

Trump PACs' fundraising emails blatantly violate CAN SPAM prohibitions against misleading subject lines and senders, over and over again. #emailgeeks #deliverability

You gotta be shitting me, @Mail_Gun. Trump PACs are using your stack to spam the planet. But, hey, revenue is revenue, right?

Shame on you. #emailgeeks #deliverability
More inbox clipping weirdness @gmail. This message weighs out to 24.1K all-in. Nothing in the rendered portion, at least, appears to have been clipped.😕

And he's morphed again, this time into digiteers-orkney. Still spamming from @Gmail's API, but this time with no functioning unsubscribe. Not even pretending anymore to be legit.
Graham Lee, dis you? linkedin.com/in/grahamlee
The @grahamlee Lydian-Stone/Digiteer spammers have morphed once again, this time into Analytico-Iverson, still spewing training spam from Google's @Gmail API to addresses harvested from LinkedIn.
Here are their NYC "offices":
The fine folk @usegetemails continue to spam addresses scraped off of LinkedIn for their "100% opt-in listgen services" via @Gmail's API.😒
I wish Gmail would police the use of their API with at least the same vigor with which they police Gmail users' inboxen.

Holy moly! @mailchimp - the ESP that famously refused to go public - agrees to be acquired by @Intuit for US$12BB. #emailmarketing #deliverability

We're sorry and we apologize, Mr. Barrett! Our sales team is making sure to remove all your email addresses from their lists.
Hey, @zerobounce1: still getting spammed (twice) today by your sales rep even after explaining to him with unambiguous language on each of Dec. 18th, Jan 21st, and May 6th that I don't want to hear from you.
And you want people to trust you with your data hygiene products?

New hedge fund ownership means @Yahoo and @AOL are back where they started (minus a few billion of valuation) as @verizonmedia is no more.
Yahoo -> Oath -> VMG -> Yahoo
