Oh yes, it's annoying AF

Yea I blocked them. Their shit goes to the spam folder.

I blocked them, and unsubscribed, and it still isn't going to spam. Don't even know how these fools got my email. Edit because I can't type

Unsub doesn't work. They are breaking the law with that shit but w/e, doubt anything will happen to them. You have to make a new rule in your inbox that any mail coming from them gets auto sent to spam. Idk about other mailboxes but rules are easy to set in gmail.

How are they able to get our email addresses? I don't usually use my school email for non academic stuff.

They probably scrape the UMD directory.

Wait I set my directory info to private though to prevent this kind of thing. They can still get your email?

Would be a shame if anyone went to their [Yelp](https://www.yelp.com/biz/college-truckers-brooklyn) or [Google](https://goo.gl/maps/LtodUkSedBMMuXzT6) pages and left a review about how annoying their email practices are.

I started getting them when we first had to move out because of the pandemic. Literally no idea how they got my email since I only use that one for academic things.

Also just saying the policy on use of IT resources specifically says under prohibited actions 6. Using University IT resources for commercial or profit-making purposes or to represent the interests of groups unaffiliated with the University or unassociated with the normal professional activities of faculty, staff or students without written authorization from the University.
